    View from my balcony

    The Harbor Front is the premier place to stay! The upgrades have only make this Inn "the" destination on the North Fork. Some might say the view faces the parking lot, I say look beyond your nose and see beautiful Shelter Island and the water from your balcony. Having a cup of their fine coffee right now.

    We were really looking forward to our stay since we were here a few times several years ago and enjoyed the central location. Looking at the other recent reviews here on Yelp, I see we were not the only disappointed patrons. Sadly, since Harborfront Inn was bought by a private equity firm (we heard from the locals) it has unfortunately lost a lot of its original charm that the Kontokosta family had as the original owners. As expected, prices have soared, rooms at the new prices for same spaces have had perhaps a new paint job basically. There are many add-on "amenities" i.e. $25 charge to park your car in the hotel parking lot. Really? Staff were not as helpful as before. However, I am sure they are making the $$$$ as the area is becoming more popular. Pros: The hotel is in walking distance to the many cafés, restaurants and shops in the seaport village of Greenport. **We now prefer the Menhaden. Reviewed recently. Or American Beech** Thank you for reading.

    Horrible! Just got back for what was to be a lovely stay. The place is under construction which we were never informed. Plastic on walls, doorways, exposed electric, paper taped to the floor. No one was at the desk so we had to ask one of the workers to find someone. A complete mess! All was said was "sorry", really? They should have refunded our money. Shame on them. Will never ever stay there again! Colleen C.

    I am a yearly visitor of the Harborfront. I have given 5 star reviews. This is a place my husband and I enjoy immensely. We book the Harborfront front balcony room every year,and look forward to our visit. This year I added a trip for my sister and I. We were given a room on a lower level . I do pay premium prices. On entering the room it was lovely as always. But sitting on the deck we were appalled that there was 2 homeless men right under us, And looked like this had been a long while. Called the front desk and was advised they couldn't do anything about it.. i was so uncomfortable with the response. The next day they moved to a shaded place right in our view of the harbor. Directly under our deck. ​ finally on the 3rd complaint the manager was present and did help right away. I'm just so disappointed. I have a trip in September..I'm not sure if I'm comfortable staying.. I waited on this review because I was told I would be contacted, but never was

    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!

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.

I'll include some photos of the facilities. I am very curious about staying here!

Other rooms may be larger. Comfortable outdoor furniture on wrap-around front and side porch (pic uploaded) Breakfast is European-style buffet with assorted breads, juices, yogurt, lox, ham, and fresh fruit. Served 8:30-10:00. Many coffee places within walking distance if you want your coffee at other hours. Tasty quiche was made from scratch by Diane and ingredients changed the next day. $450 for 2 nites with breakfast, June weekend, including tax. WiFi included. Fun and easy town to walk around. Ideal choice if interested in the local wineries. Unsuitable for young children due to some fragile items in the open areas. Tip: you can also get to Greenport from NYC via bus or LIRR train (three trains a day from Penn Station, $25 one-way, peak fare, 3 hour trip) or take the Cross Sound Ferry from New London CT, which we used to avoid bridge and LIE congestion, for about $67 with car and two adults.

She wants you to feel as if you are at home and that's exactly how you feel, be comfortable relax everything you need is right there, use it!!! The place is spotless, so clean.

Decorated perfectly everything is in soothing, serene, calming colors. Each room has it's own bathroom, she has many more rooms than other B&B's in the area and she doesn't require a 2 night minimum.The location is perfect too, a few blocks away from the main part of town, a 5 minute walk but in a quiet area.Prices in line with everyone else. I spent a lot of time searching online and kept narrowing it down between this and others, her website is also the best, very clear photos, online reservation. I wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else, neither should you. In a word....perfect! Thank you again Joan, you and your home that you share with is are just lovely!!!!
