The Ocean Bay House consistently receives outstanding reviews, praised for its beautiful setting, accommodating host Liz, and delicious breakfasts.

The property offers a relaxing and memorable experience with its charming rooms and scenic waterfront location.
We stayed here 3 nights for the US Open at Shinnecock Hills. Liz was a wonderful host, the breakfasts were awesome, rooms clean and comfortable and the weather was great! We walked to the docks and downtown for great meals and beautiful sights. I would stay here again and again, and Bay Shore is a great place to visit. We are so glad we stayed here.
We had a lovely Anniversary weekend get-away stay at The Ocean Bay House. The room and bed were very comfortable; well appointed too. Check-in and Check-out was extremely efficient and easy! The en suite (bathroom) was much larger than most lodgings with plenty of space to hold all our toiletries. The common rooms are spacious and lovely. The staff are professional and friendly. It was fun to walk the grounds which are right near a marina, there’s a pool for summer months with a lovely patio. The front porch is inviting and well-appointed, I enjoyed relaxing there and could easily spend an afternoon lost in a good book on the porch. Breakfast is included, with enough food to fuel a day of exploring! It’s located within walking distance of great restaurants and shops. I’d recommend this place if you’re exploring Long Island’s South Bay Area.
Spent a night here on Valentine's day with my boyfriend. Overall I could not be more pleased with my stay. Starting off our room was upgraded for no additional fee, which was a beautiful and exciting surprise! The seaborn suite was clean, spacious, and very romantic. In the morning Liz, our host, prepared an extremely lovely and delicious breakfast for the two of us. I can only imagine how nice it must be to sit and enjoy breakfast on the porch in the summer. I can't thank the staff enough for a perfect albeit short stay. Definitely a place worth every penny. :)
I had my wedding June 13 2025 at Captain Bills and stayed the weekend with the OceanBay house. Going in i was a little nervous and maybe even a bridezilla because i was afraid of the stay for my guests and the rules seemed a bit stricter being it was not an airbnb but a bed and breakfast. Elizabeth through the entire process showed her hard work but while we were there she really showed how much effort, love and care she puts into her work. I can’t recommend this house enough! I rented the entire house Thursday-Saturday.
I stayed at The Ocean Bay House for the night before my wedding and Liz was an absolutely amazing host. She was so accommodating and made my stay so memorable. Seeing snow on the grounds felt truly magical. It was a beautiful place and I wish I got to stay there longer. This bed and breakfast is so stunning and cozy. The Seaborn Suite is massive with a gorgeous view. The suite had plenty of space to store my wedding gown and luggage and with space to spare to get ready. Thank you so much for making my stay so memorable Liz, I am so grateful I got to experience this beautiful B&B.
My husband and I got married down the road from The Ocean Bay House last year and stayed here the night before our wedding. We came back for our anniversary this past weekend and we just love this house. The owner Liz is so accommodating and kind. I am gluten free, so she made sure to have plenty of breakfast options for me every morning. We stayed in the East End room and it was beautiful. We overlooked the water, it was quiet and so relaxing. We only live 15 minutes away, but will be back. This is the perfect mini weekend away!! Highly recommend staying at The Ocean Bay House.
My family and a few friends booked the entire home for my daughter's wedding weekend. The Ocean Bay House is lovely, clean, and conveniently located in Bay Shore. Liz was attentive and helpful concerning our need to prepare for a morning ceremony. She provided continental breakfast for the early risers, then a hot breakfast for those with more time. My only regret is that the weather was not conducive to enjoying the beautiful outdoor areas. We had a wonderful weekend and recommend this B & B!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience staying at The Ocean Bay House for our wedding weekend with all our family. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness by Liz. The charm and beauty of the property made for the most perfect setting, and it felt like the ideal place for us to create lasting memories. Not only was the accommodation comfortable and cozy, but the hospitality went above and beyond. We were especially grateful to Liz for generously allowing us to use the house for our wedding weekend. It was just one example of how they truly went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. We could not have asked for a more accommodating and thoughtful host. The peaceful atmosphere, lovely surroundings, and exceptional service made our stay truly special. We are so happy we chose the Ocean Bay house for such an important occasion, and we will definitely be returning and recommending it to friends and family. If you're looking for a beautiful, relaxing place to stay, look no further! Thank you again for making our wedding weekend so memorable. We hope to visit again in the future!
