My parents, my dog, and myself stayed in one of the 2BR cottages at Bowen's for a long weekend out of the city. Eileen was beyond helpful on the front end, assisting us with selecting the perfect cottage setup (with the right number/kind of beds, enough privacy for everyone, etc) and responding to questions when my plans almost changed at...

Our family of five, plus dog, stayed one night this past weekend. I wasn't expecting much from a motel and cottages located between a state highway and the railroad tracks but was very pleasantly surprised. Our greeting was very warm and the welcome bag a nice touch. There has been a lot of love, thought and effort put into to... More

We're from Long Island and have been Out East dozens of times over the years. However, we've never been through Hampton Bays because our usual route bypasses it. How odd that this wonderful little town--and this gem of a place to stay--has eluded us all this time! Owners Eileen and Kevin Bowen (Kevin is also a tennis pro who offers... More

My mother and I checked into our room on Fri and we stayed until Sun. Eileen greeted us and had very willingly let us check in early. She put us in the cowboy room and said we could change if we didn't like the decor. We should have changed the room because we would have preferred a girlie room. That... More

My parents have been staying there for years. I myself had stayed there once many years ago and didn't really remember it very clearly, but once there, it all came back to me. The setting is very cute and quite peaceful despite being located right off Montauk Highway and being close to the LIRR. My husband surprised me with a... More

We stayed three nights in one of their 2 bedroom cabins. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and the cabin was very homey. They had it nicely decorated and a new flat screen tv. Our dog, Weaver, felt right at home too. The LIRR does fly by right behind the property, but that was not an issue.

This was our second stay @ Bowens. We just love it. There is so much to do right on the property, the boys love the pool, and the tennis courts. They love playing board games in the evening, and of course we all love that we can take our dog with us. Its so peaceful, the gardens are so colorful,... More

We ( one adult and three teenagers) stayed for three nights in the guestrooms. The room was clean and tastefully, well chosen furnished. There was enough space for four persons ( including the bathroom), because you could open the terracedoor to sit in the beautiful, quiet garden. The pool was clean with enough chairs and tables to relax. It was... More

We stayed in the motel unit of this property which is situated between the tracks of the Long Island Railroad and Montauk Highway. We asked for a quiet room and were given one of the motel-style rooms--the property also has individual bungalows--and were not disturbed by the trains. The owner-managers are excellent, and always present to attend to guests--and they... More

How lucky we were to get accommodations at Bowen's by the Bays for the July 4th celebration weekend! Our stay Was wonderful, the room was meticulous, the people were like family, and the location was the best for getting to both the North Fork wineries and the South Fork beaches and entertainment! We give Bowen's ten stars!!! Thank you for... More
