What Are the Design and Scene Like at the Cliffside Resort Condominiums?
Lovely condo property with serene grounds and private access to a pleasant beach
Located on a small bluff overlooking the Long Island Sound, the Cliffside Resort Condominiums is a lovely property catering to families and groups of friends. The resort is made up of 68 condos housed in several cute, three-story buildings set on beautiful, manicured grounds dotted with Adirondack chairs and picnic tables. The sunset views are particularly stunning here, and in the summer, couples and families often gather on the lawns to watch the sun dip below the horizon with a glass of wine. When the weather is nice, the pool and the beach are the main meeting point, though they rarely get too busy and the atmosphere is generally low-key and relaxing.
Services are limited -- the front desk is not staffed overnight, and housekeeping is not provided daily -- but the property is a good pick for those wanting the comforts of beachside residential living. Rates are high -- especially in the summer months -- albeit comparable to other similar hotels in the area. Travelers seeking something with full hotel amenities and services may prefer the Sound View Greenport, which offers simple, charming rooms with great amenities and ocean views, an oceanfront pool, and a restaurant. For about half the price, The Blue Inn at North Fork is a cozy, pet-friendly property with a similar vibe to the Cliffside Resort. Those seeking something more luxurious on the eastern side of Long Island may want to consider the hip Gurney’s Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa.
Where Is Cliffside Resort Condominiums Located in Long Island?
On a small, pebbly beach along the Long Island Sound in the North Fork, near Greenport
Cliffside Resort Condominiums on the sound is located on a small promontory overlooking a narrow, pebbly beach directly west of quaint Greenport in Long Island's North Fork area. Though there isn’t much within walking distance aside from the beach, a quick five-minute drive gets guests to many of the area’s famous wineries and restaurants. Greenport proper, home to many dining and shopping options, is also just a five-minute drive away, as are area attractions such as the Port of Egypt Marina, Island’s End Golf Club, and the Village Cinema. Shelter Island can be reached in about 40 minutes, while the drive to Long Island MacArthur Airport takes about an hour. LaGuardia and JFK International Airports are each an hour and 40 minutes away from the property.
What Are Rooms Like at the Cliffside Resort Condominiums?
Two-bedroom condos with balconies, kitchenettes, and two bathrooms; some have great sea views
The property offers 68 privately owned condos, each featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room with a kitchenette and a sofa bed for up to two additional guests. Style varies between units, but most feature cute, homey decor with soft palettes and beachy accents. The property carries out regular inspections and reports any issues to the owners, but some guests have complained that a few units could use an update and/or some maintenance work. Housekeeping is provided at the beginning and the end of the stay, but guests are responsible for cleaning and tidying up during their stay. Condos are divided into three categories depending on their views and location. Water’s Edge units are close to the beach and have partial sea views; Water’s View have full vistas of the sea (and the sunset), while Water’s Side condos offer direct access to the beach but overlook the grounds or the parking lot.
Kitchenettes are outfitted with stoves, sinks, mini-fridges, microwaves, coffeemakers, and toasters, but full ovens are not available. Pots, pans, plates, and glass and flatware are also provided in all units. Additionally, all condos feature air-conditioning and heating, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms vary between units, but all have showers, spacious sink areas with storage space, and big mirrors. Toiletries and hairdryers are available in all units. Guests with mobility issues may want to request a ground-floor unit, as there is no elevator access to the top floors.
What Features Are Available at the Cliffside Resort Condominiums?
Pleasant beach, heated pool, lovely lawns with Adirondack chairs and grills, and laundry facilities
One of the main draws here is the property’s private access to a pleasant (if pebbly) beach dotted with loungers. The only access to the beach is via steps, as the property is situated on a small bluff. There is also a small heated pool that opens between Memorial and Labor Day. The shallower end is separated from the deep area by a rope, and there are several loungers and tables placed under umbrellas. Grounds are beautiful and serene, offering spacious manicured lawns outfitted with Adirondack chairs, grills, and picnic tables that guests can use free of charge.
The resort also features laundry rooms with shared washer/dryers in each building. Outdoor parking is available at no extra charge.
