Silver Sands Motel & Beach Bungalows

This was our 2nd year to Silver Sands and just can’t beat it.

Our second trip this summer. Very child friendly. Staff accommodating. Good restaurants on site ( although restaurant service could be improved food is outstanding).

The new owners clearly thought about every little thing, creating an intimate and thoughtfully curated atmosphere. Even my less expressive husband couldn't help but label the motel as "magical" midway through our trip. This was our third time at Silver Sands. My first and second visits were in the fall and winter, but experiencing it in the summer has led me to rename it the Long Island Riviera. You truly feel like you're in the south of France. We got to try their oyster bar, Eddie’s, and the food could rival any of the best restaurants in Manhattan. Forget the Hamptons. The food here is unrivaled in every way. The rooms are a standout. The photos on the website do not do them justice. They surpassed expectations when it comes to quality, design, attention to detail, character, and cleanliness. The bedding is very comfortable and feels incredibly high-end. The furniture exudes quality and has a charming, distinctive feel. The bathroom amenities are luxurious, generous, and unique. Beyond the breathtaking aesthetics, the art of hospitality is perfected here. The staff is exceptional and caters to all your needs. The property is pristine, and the culinary experience is outstanding. You can go from casual dining at their diner, Nookies, to elevated dining at Eddie’s within a matter of hours. The menu’s selection is nothing short of exceptional. If I had to rate flavor, presentation, and overall deliciousness alone, I would give it a 10. The perfectly executed baked goods in the morning rival those found in a café in Paris but with the warmth and charm of a beachside motel. You will not need or want to leave the hotel for anything. The verdict is a firm 100 out of 10. I honestly considered not writing this review because I would hate for this place to turn into the next Montauk. But I also believe the owners deserve the praise and support. They seem genuinely committed to preserving the spirit of the North Fork, and I fully support encouraging that. Also, do not miss their new McCall winery experience, which includes a stroll through their estate vines, a look into their meticulous low-yield, sustainable farming practices, and a private tasting in their beautifully restored 1787 barn, which isn’t open to the public and only available to Silver Sands guests. Beyond the delicious wines, the setting is absolutely beautiful. You could easily think you were in Tuscany. The relaxed and unpretentious ambiance at McCall’s made for a truly enjoyable afternoon. It shares the same spirit as Silver Sands: local, unfussy, high quality, and fueled by a passion for great service. I have not tried their oyster farm tour yet, but other guests raved about it. That will definitely be on the list for our next visit. They also have a new spa with a cold plunge, steam room, sauna, and massage room. I had a chance to check it out, although I did not use the facilities. It looks spectacular, with a direct view of the wetlands surrounding the hotel. Silver Sands just keeps getting better and better every time we visit.

The rooms are inviting, comfortable and well designed - whimsical & chic. All staff members are professional and helpful. The food in both on site restaurants (Nookies Diner and Eddie's) is delicious. Drinks & cocktails are also available in the lobby bar. We look forward to staying there again.

Everything was manicured, cute, and details were tended to.

Stay was great, room very clean. Only thing I would change is add an extra summer quilt/ blanket and lower room divider or move TV. For those who like to watch TV in bed late at night, difficult to view TV with room divider in Queen rooms.

incredible update to this gem of a hotel. The food was great, oysters on point, drinks cold! The whole experience is 10 out 10. Highly recommend

Wonderful location and hotel

This property is a treasure. Think Palm Springs meets Adirondacks. If you are overworked and stressed out this is an ideal spot for relaxing in the summer. Food is exceptionally good. Lounging under the umbrella beach side combined with a refreshing swim makes your dreams come true. Staff members are delightful.
