Summary: We exceeded any expectation we could have ever dreamed of having on our recent vacation to Long Island!! The Whistling Duck is an amazing location, Pam & Peter were so knowable about the island and pointed our adventures in every direction we didn’t even know we were able to take! If we ever make it back, we will staying for a couple weeks all at the Whistling Duck! Thank you Pam & Peter for your hospitality and foresight! -The Hatfields

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at Peter and Pam’s cottage. Everything was as described. They were both here to welcome us and provided with a lot of useful information. Sleeping with the sound of the waves and crickets. We did not want to leave. Definitely recommend this little cottage on the sea!

Summary: My husband and I had a fabulous stay at the Whistling Duck Cottage!! The owners were absolutely lovely. We met Pam, one of the owners, at the airport as we arrived for our stay, and her husband, Peter, at the cottage when we arrived. We may have been different than most guests who come to the cottage, we needed to unwind completely! We didn't leave until the last full day, when we explored Dean's Blue Hole (a must) and had a delicious lunch at the marina. We took advantage of having the kayak at our fingertips and paddled across the bay to one of the islands - talk about seashells!? Tons of shells and sand dollars. One of the things we loved most about the trip was that we felt like we were the only ones on the island for most of the time! We also made friends with the local pup nearby when we walked down to the larger beach. He stayed with us and guided us back. Sunbathing on the deck, reading a book on the covered porch, and the outdoor shower (literally ONLY use this one...it's phenomenal) were other highlights. We will absolutely be back! Thanks Peter and Pam for a lovely stay!

Summary: This was our first time to Long Island. The best decision we made was staying at the Whistling Duck. Before our trip Peter was great with answering my emails. We were greeted by the manager Violet, who showed us around and gave us a lot of useful information. The place is very cozy. Great front and back porches to enjoy the sounds of the water. The gazebo by the water was our favorite place to hang out. We did swim in front of the house when the tide was right. Lochabar Bay is beautiful. A highlight of our trip was kayaking across the bay and around the Blue Hole. The outdoor shower was incredible. Nothing like hearing the waves and seeing the stars. The outdoor clothes line was very handy. The house is well equipped with everything we needed. Visit Erica’s bakery for incredible banana bread and meet this kind woman. The house is centrally located to explore the island. Lighthouse point has great fish tacos. The pig roast Friday nights at Rowdy boys was fun. Gordon’s is a must and about 30 minutes away. North you will find Tiny’s, Chez Pierre and Harbour club around 45 minutes. Thank you Pam and Peter for sharing this great property. We will be back.

Summary: Whistling Duck was an absolute tropical treasure. The beauty and sounds of the aqua-teal waters and breezes met us everyday and lulled us to sleep each night. Peter was so helpful and accommodating with transportation issues and overall guidance. When we had a huge storm and lost power, Violet the property manager was available to assist and even checked up on us the next day. The house is clean, cozy, quiet, and has everything you need with a porch and deck perfect for relaxing and stargazing. Beach at our doorstep and short walk to the Lochabar Bay nearby. The island was easy to get around and we enjoyed the food and people. This was a very special vacation we won't forget.

Summary: It was perfect. Thank you to Peter for being an amazing host. Sitting at the waters edge every day was pure bliss.
Anjuli M. Mar 10, 2024 02:57:16 AM
Summary: This house is adorable first off. In perfect condition, extremely clean. The location….you CANNOT explain how beautiful it is here. The beach basically out the front door, the breeze, the view. If you want a place to relax and enjoy a beautiful island with no crowds, this is the island. The hosts Peter and Pam are more than helpful, we did not have a question unanswered. We appreciated them.
Laurie R. Feb 23, 2024 02:07:12 AM
Summary: Quiet, private, and perfect! Peter communicated to us tidbits about the island and weather that helped us in our planning. We would be glad to go there again and again!
