Searching for a one-of-a-kind rental? This charming upper-level apartment above the Northport Post Office could be perfect. Northport is rich in history and a delightful town. Post Office Box 1 is a spacious two-bedroom, one-bath unit with a walk-in shower. With 1200 sq ft of space, it never feels crowded. The apartment retains much of its original architecture, featuring towering ceilings and tall windows that offer fantastic views of Northport. Upon entering, guests are greeted by an open area leading to the kitchen and living room. The full/twin bedroom is off the dining area, and the king bedroom is adjacent to the living room. The king bedroom has a TV. The main living area includes a queen bed for extra sleeping space. Wall units provide air conditioning, and ceiling fans are installed in the bedrooms.

The kitchen boasts marble floors, stainless steel appliances, and ample room to cook. It includes a gas stove, dishwasher, and a separate laundry room with a washer and dryer.

We truly enjoyed the time spent at the Post Office Box 1 vacation rental in Northport in early July. The location was outstanding, within easy walking distance of the marina, lakefront park space, and downtown Northport. The rental has been beautifully renovated, with more space than expected and high end finishings & furniture. We are already looking forward to a return visit to this property!

An unbelievably great space near local shops

Review by John N.
The space is enormous and well-appointed. It's about four minutes walking distance to the New Bohemian coffee shop - an excellent third place. There's quaint little bookstore with a surprising variety of books (I got a german language book on the history of cartography.)The stairs are steep, but the place is very quiet. The deadbolt to the outside has trouble locking when you leave but has no issue when you are in the for the evening. No, the Post Office doesn't go through this door - you lock it as you wish.I would definitely recommend this place for just about any stay in the area.

The entire experience was wonderful! From the moment we booked our trip the communication with the rental company was superb. They went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. Every question we had was answered before we even asked. The place of rental was so clean and perfect. The location was spot on to everything you need! They had so many games and puzzles to make the stay extra special. I would stay again!!!

Review by Alexandra P.
Beautiful location in Northport! We loved it - make sure to pack k-cups though, we brought coffee filters like it was listed but then got there to no regular coffee pot which was disappointing. There is plenty of spots around town to grab coffee though if you don't plan to make it at home. We would totally recommend!

We absolutely loved the place, and would of loved to stay longer (or at least we will visit again!). The rental was very clean, spacious, and tastefully finished. Close to many beaches, dunes, and nice restaurants. We hiked, biked, went swimming, fished the harbor, and visited the farmers market. Really with two teenage daughters, 11 yr old son, wife, and myself, we could of parked the vehicle for the entire time and stayed in Northport.

Great location, high quality interior

The location of the apartment is great. Walking distance to the harbor, supermarket and restaurants. The interior (floors, doors, furniture) is of high quality and well maintained. If I were looking for something in the area I would consider this place again. I am not sure what to think of the company managing the place. They let you fill out a lot of paperwork and keep telling you how important it is that you read everything they sent you. They even call you to tell you how important it is and that you reeeeeaallllyyy need to read it. When you are at the place you find out that some of the (sometimes strangely written) information is wrong/ outdated.... I have seen companies doing that in a more professional way.

Review by Christy T.
My family of 6 stayed at the Post Office Box 1 for 3 nights. It was the perfect vacation getaway. The property was in excellent condition and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. There is plenty of furniture and space for the entire family to lounge around. The kitchen and bathroom were well equipped. Our only issue was that we could not get the trundle bed in the second bedroom to come out from under the bed. There were enough other sleeping options though, so we made it work. The location is fantastic, right downtown across from the ice cream shop and a block from the beach and park/playground. We would definitely return to Northport and the Post Office Box 1 for a future stay.
