An incredible stay at The Shoals in North Fork! This waterfront boutique hotel/botel is the perfect…read morespot to dock your boat and unwind. The rooms are beautifully designed -- clean, modern, and super comfortable with a fully stocked kitchen! We loved waking up to the patio with the water views a few feet away. The on-site food truck, Maizeat, is a total standout -- the food was fresh, creative, and absolutely delicious. Great bonus: a free light breakfast every morning! The location is ideal -- just minutes from Greenport and other charming North Fork towns. The property is kid- and pet-friendly, with a relaxed, welcoming vibe and amazing service from start to finish. Between the stunning sunsets, cozy outdoor spaces, and the convenience of docking your boat right there, The Shoals offers a truly unique and memorable experience. Already planning our return!

Including guests fighting, domestic violence and barking dogs. You will get ZERO relaxation and the staff rolls their eyes when you complain about it. To say the experience was horrible is an understatement. And for $1800 for 2 nights they don't even have a pool or a restaurant or a beach or anything. Just a food truck. I don't know how this place stays in business honestly. I complained to the manager multiple times while we were there to please move our room because the people above us are purposely stomping on the floor to ruin our weekend and they were very nasty about it and unsympathetic. They said we're full and can't move you. I complained I wanted a refund and they sent a big pre written email that was clearly written by their lawyers to avoid having to issue anyone refunds. And as per their horrible reviews I'm not the first person to complain about their paper thin walls and ceilings and I definitely won't be the last. That's why they have a professional letter from their lawyer to avoid any refunds. And their tates cookies in the room for $18 are actually $4. I found the exact ones in stop and shop for $4. What a scam. Would not recommend this "boutique" hotel at all. Go to Greenport and stay at Harbor Front Inn for a positive experience you will feel good about.

An Absolutely Exceptional Stay -- Silver Sands Is Something Special…read more My wife and I spent three days at Silver Sands celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary, and although this was our first visit, it certainly will not be our last. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the experience was exceptional. The entire staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. What impressed us most was how incredibly organized, attentive, and welcoming everyone was without ever being intrusive. It was almost as if the staff had mastered the art of being there exactly when you needed something, while somehow remaining nearly invisible the rest of the time. That level of service is very difficult to achieve, and Silver Sands does it beautifully. The property itself is immaculate. The grounds are meticulously maintained while still allowing the natural beauty of the surroundings to remain part of the experience. The private beach was spotless, peaceful, and beautifully organized. Throughout the day, we would notice staff quietly moving through, straightening and maintaining everything, yet they were so unobtrusive you could barely tell it was happening. The attention to detail throughout Silver Sands is remarkable. From the design and atmosphere of the property to the pour-over coffee in the room, the thoughtfully selected shampoos and conditioners, linens, amenities, and overall cleanliness -- everything feels intentional. Our room was absolutely impeccable. Silver Sands somehow manages to capture the nostalgia and charm of the classic American motel while feeling modern, sophisticated, and luxurious at the same time. Calling it a "motel" almost doesn't do it justice. It is a truly unique property that can easily rival some of the best hotels and resorts we've stayed at. And then there are Eddie's and Nookie's! Both onsite restaurants were fantastic. The staff and service were wonderful, and everything we ate was top-notch. We left already talking about coming back so we can try more of the menu. Over our 31 years together, my wife and I have been fortunate enough to travel to many beautiful and far-off destinations. Yet there were moments during our stay at Silver Sands when we genuinely felt transported somewhere else entirely -- certainly not like we were still on Long Island, and at times not even like we were anywhere in the United States. It has a special atmosphere that is difficult to describe until you experience it yourself. Thank you to the entire Silver Sands team, as well as everyone at Eddie's and Nookie's, for making our 31st anniversary one of our most memorable, relaxing, and enjoyable staycations. You helped make an already special occasion even more special. We arrived as first-time guests and left knowing we'll be back and bringing others to experience what we had. Thank you again, Silver Sands. See you all soon!

You've got the breeze, the view, seating on the cliff or below at the beach, firepits, and with a cocktail in hand... I'm in heaven.

We stayed in a terrace king which made it super easy to access the pool and beach with kids. The bfast was simple - continental- but delicious. Great coffee, muffins, croissants, yogurt and granola, chia concoctions, and grab and go fruit - more than enough. The pool is saltwater and sooo refreshing. It never feels too busy- in fact it felt kind of empty. Soooo many families with young kids- staff was so good to them! Rooms were comfortable, simple and adequate for what we needed. One of my favorite amenities were all of the bonfire pits. We had a blast making smores and sipping wine by the fire as the night cooled. We will definitely be back and would recommend to all but especially families.

We valet parked the car and then that person drove us to the pool in their golf cart. It was too far for us to walk with two kids, one being 2 1/2 years old. We went to the pool first. There were a lot of bugs in the water and it looked like it needed a really good vacuuming. We asked the lifeguard for a skimmer so we could clean the bugs out of the pool because the kids would not go in. So he got up and did it. But the bottom of pool was still dirty. They went in anyway. After a while we walked down to the beach. The beach is extremely rocky. We wore our water shoes but it was still rough. The kids didn't like it so we went back to the pool for a little while. We called for the golf cart to come and get us and he did. We left and went back to our hotel's pool which was cleaner. We had debated on staying at this hotel but Harbor Front won. We were really glad we did not stay at this hotel and we know we will never stay here.

The location is beautiful, but the customer service consistently falls far below expectations. Many staff members make guests feel as though they are asking for a favor when requesting basic services, such as having the room cleaned. This has been my experience even when I have tipped generously and treated the staff respectfully. Occasionally, one or two employees show kindness and emotional intelligence, but the majority come across as dismissive and unwelcoming. After seven visits you are an "outsider" that has ruined their sanctuary. Even knowing some staff members by name, and greeting them appropriately I have never once heard, "Welcome back." Book this hotel for the location, but do not expect warm or attentive service. In my experience, Sound View has some of the worst customer service on the North Fork. They will treat you terribly. I can't wrap my head as to who is training the staff.

Actually, lucky isn't a strong enough word-- blessed is more like it. Bartlett House is a sumptuously decorated restored 19th century home that felt like OUR home almost as soon as our hosts, Diane & Jack Gilmore, checked us in. We stayed in the French Room on the third floor. It is beautifully decorated with period furniture and one of the most comfortable beds it's ever been my pleasure to sleep in. The climate control in the rooms is excellent-- although the weather outside during our 5 day stay varied wildly from gale-force winds and rain to chilly drizzle and then spring-like conditions, the weather inside our room was always comfy-cozy. The bathroom has a wonderful deep soaking tub and a sunflower shower head (and GREAT water pressure! I was really surprised at that!!). Everything in our room-- even in the walk-in sized closet!--was absolutely spotless. All the linens, bed and bath, were of very high quality and for the first time in my life, I felt like there were enough towels (as well as lovely oversized terry bathrobes for each of us). But the breakfasts....well, the breakfasts are what will bring us back again next year (we are already planning another stay, a longer one next time). Jack and Diane outdo themselves every morning with a bottomless buffet of coffee, cereals, smoked salmon (my fave!), black forest ham, fresh tomatoes, breads/bagels/muffins, streusel cake, cheeses, hard- and soft-boiled eggs, fresh fruit, and Diane's incomparable breakfast quiches. The buffet is served in their beautifully decorated dining room (also on the porch if weather permits) on lovely mix-and-match china. It is, in a word, sublime. By the time we had to leave for home, we didn't want to go. Diane and Jack made us feel like family, and made Bartlett House feel like a second home to us. We simply can't wait to return.

The owners, Dan and Alane, are gracious and warm, lovely and kind. As NYC transplants who have an appreciation for locals and visitors, they are informed about all things North Fork. They are wonderful hosts who made us feel very welcomed! The rates are competitive, but the stay is even more worthwhile than we had initially imagined. The Guest House is the epitome of a comfortable country home -- a beautiful dream, to say the least. I ran my hands along the different textural walls and refinished drawer chests. With modern yet rustic aesthetics, the house is bright and breezy and clean. Our queen-size bed is a cloud! We slept so well on both nights and woke up to wholesome and delicious country breakfasts each morning. It is the perfect stay for a weekend getaway. If we were to visit the Long Island wine region again, we will definitely return to the Guest House.
