About this property

Gold Coast Estate - Island Centre

Seacroft is the pearl in what was to be a grand development of homesteads on a picturesque point overlooking the inlet to Oyster Bay on Centre Island. Fortunately those larger development plans never came to fruition and the estate transitioned to a private family residence that has been the focal point of family gatherings for several generations. The house and grounds are expansive, encompassing the entire eastern "beak" of Centre Island. The home is well appointed with 10 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. There are two tennis courts, a standard pool with views of the bay and sound, a bay boat house with kayak launches, and 1/2 mile of private beach.

This is the perfect place for a large family gathering, weddings, or intimate corporate events. Please inquire about special event pricing charged in addition to our weekly rate of $15,000. Rate will depend on the number of guests attending the event, and will be allowed with an additional fee of $75/per person. We can recommend caterers, valet parkers, etc.

$10,000 security deposit to be paid two weeks before move in date - will be returned within 2 weeks after the lease ends unless there are damages.

Landlord will send the lease after the transaction is confirmed.

Location scouts welcome.

Couldn't Stay
Beautiful Grounds, uninhabitable house. The home was so worn down, filthy and disgusting, we left within 4 hours of arriving. There admittedly was a wedding there the weekend previous to our arrival and "not enough time to sufficiently clean", but regardless of that, the house has not been maintained, and the upkeep is laughable for what one is paying for the week. The owner seems to believe that because celebrities have stayed there, that should be good enough for everyone and anyone, filth, grime, and unpreparedness all included. Within our four hour stay, my son stepped on broken glass in the foyer and cut his foot open. We initially tried to make the best of it and cook a meal and the BBQ was horrendously disgusting and needed to be lit with a paper towel because the ignitor was broken and had to stay on for 30 minutes just to burn the char off of it. That was of course after I had to clean the refrigerator of the grime inside of it. The stove barely worked. The freezer was broken and there was a stand alone freezer in another room. Oh, and yes, the third floor bedrooms were not even prepared nor air conditioned. Large cables leaving the house and going across the lawn to a lower house. I went to take a shower and walked into a room of MOLD!! Filled with mold. And found a millipede crawling in the bed and bathroom filled with insects. The downstairs bathroom smelled like a men's urinal. My daughter's asthma was triggered almost immediately. The house was literally disgusting. I immediately repacked the groceries I had delivered, packed the car, emailed the owner, and left the premises. I wouldn't dream of putting my head down there for the night. Unsafe and gross. There are not enough words. Best of all, the owner initially said she would refund our money and now says she refuses to!! DON'T STAY HERE!!! TERRIBLE!!!

Amazing Location - as depicted
The location is spectacular and the grounds and exterior of the home are as beautiful as depicted. The inside of the home is very classic and original which has its pluses and minuses. The charm is off the hook and very authentic. But because of the age of the house some of the lack of maintenance is very apparent. It took a few days to get the musty smell cleared out. We had to drink bottled water because of the condition of the old water pipes with concerns about rust/lead. Also, some of the items you would expect to work well in a high cost VRBO did not. For example the handles on the heavy patio doors were broken on the outside making opening and closing difficult, burners on the grill did not light, the freezer did not work so there was a stand alone freezer nearby, there were almost no pots/pans, etc. Owner Vesna was very communicative and very helpful. She knows the area well and made great recommendations for cleaning help and catering. Very user friendly. Overall, the pros definitely outweighed the cons. You have to expect a certain amount of limited functionality in older vintage homes. The house worked great for our family reunion with lots of cozy spots to hang out in.
