We can only be thankful for the spirit of generosity that has moved the MacNish family to share their legacy. Named after the founding member of the family home, Andrew's Legacy allows guests to share in an extraordinary sense of family history, experience the gracious living of times long past, and bask in a warm hospitality born perhaps in the family's tradition of hotel ownership. If your life is hectic and you need to slow down, if you need time with your partner to reconnect, or if you just want to experience a change, this is a B&B to visit. Liz MacNish is an extraordinary cook, a charming story teller, and is totally unassuming. She gives much of the credit for the home's beauty to her son, Mark, who she claims is the one with the "vision," and what a vision it is. Located in the heart of wine country, Andrew's Legacy represents the spirit of the North Fork.

A Butler's Manor: This B&B's location within walking distance of the train station and the posh village of Southampton is not the only thing to recommend it. The rooms are decorated with such a sense of balance, charm and beauty that guests not only feel privileged but welcomed and comfortable. The common rooms are cool in summer, warm in winter, and delightful all year round. You'll have a breakfast suitable for serving at the finest NYC restaurants, and perhaps topping, but certainly matching, any memories you hold of breakfasts you had at your grandmother's or that little place in France. There's an outdoor pool framed with specimen trees and bushes, a back porch covered with wisteria, a fireplace, books, and fresh flowers everywhere. Best of all, however, are the owners, Kim and Chris Allen. You will be especially comfortable in their presence, and after a weekend at their B&B, feel especially privileged to have met them.

Situated at the end of a private lane and overlooking Greenport Harbor and Peconic Bay, Harbor Knoll Bed & Breakfast offers both a premiere location and premiere accommodations. Owned by Gordon and Leueen Miller, the home overflows with antiques that either have been in the family for generations or were collected during Leueen's extensive travels as a former ambassadress for the United Nations. Leueen's European sensibilities are evident in the delightfully cheery yet sophisticated fabrics. the graciously laid out table settings, and the superbly prepared breakfasts. Gordon's love of history has produced an epic library and perhaps his love of comfort produced such deep settling chairs! Ease of living, a criterion of all seaside homes, can be found on the wide screened porch, the broad lawn, and in each of the five guest rooms. If you have not yet been convinced to visit this B&B, let me add one more thing: the Millers are truly lots of fun!

Hotels/Resorts

This brand new condo resort is stupendously located on the North Fork of L.I, and is one of only a handful of places with water views. The sunset views are not be outdone anywhere in the world. Not only is the resort new, but this concept is rare on the East End which has mostly small motels/hotels and B&B's. Short of owning your own place or renting a house for the season, this is a very comfortable, convenient, and luxurious way to spend time out east. All condos are two bedroom/ two bath, sleep 6, have flat screen tv's, full kitchenettes (even a wine chiller!) and wi-fi. There's a heated swimming pool and laundry facilities on site and if you have a large group or family, it offers multi unit special pricing. It is located only minutes from the Village of Greenport and the Shelter Island Ferry providing traffic free access to the Hamptons. I found the pricing surprisingly affordable so if you plan a visit this summer, you may be one of the resort's first guests!

Located on the famous Crescent Beach on Shelter Island, this is an exquisite location. One of the few full service resort properties, it has a pool, kayaking, private beach, bike rentals, and restaurant. Available for corporate outings and weddings, The Pridwin is one of the most popular East End establishments, so book early.

Each room overlooks the Long Island Sound and has its own private deck and beach! Still, this is a casual establishment that welcomes families and is not the least pretentious. The Soundview is in the process of renovation so check on availability of rooms early.
