The Shorecrest Bed and Breakfast, surrounded by the waters of the Long Island Sound and an inlet of Shelter Bay, is perched on a beautifully landscaped acre of perennial flower gardens with hammock, fish ponds and lounge chairs to relax in, overlooking all.  To see the location of the Inn visit the maps on our Area Attractions page, which also show where to find local vineyards, restaurants, marinas, beaches, nature preserves, kayak and bicycle rental services, spas, churches, libraries, transportation points  for the Hampton Jitney or Long Island Rail Road and most of the useful information you need to know about area.

 Our two private beaches, one on the Long Island Sound and the other on the inlet are available to guests. Please click here to  View our photo gallery. Our beach on the largest inlet on the North Fork, the Arshamomoque is a great spot to launch kayaks, canoes or paddle boards. Our Long Island Sound beach is less than 500 feet from the Inn, accessed by a private path and a favorite spot to watch the sunset, relaxing in Shorecrest’s own Adirondack chairs with a bottle of wine.

Built in the mid 1800’s as a summer home for a wealthy family, the Inn retains all the original grandeur and charm of those days with 10 foot ceilings, detailed moldings and woodwork and room height windows framing views of sky and sea. The Innkeeper’s lifetime collection of antique furniture and textiles fits right in and guests enjoy a four course gourmet breakfast in the elegant dining room in Victorian style surrounded by period antiques, Venetian glass, fine art and vintage china and silver. Add to this the friendliness and great conversation provided by our interesting guests and you could not find a better way to start your day of adventure in one of the most beautiful parts of New York State’s Long Island than breakfast at the Shorecrest!

The house has been lovingly restored over the last five years, with updated private baths in each of the five rooms, central air conditioning throughout, an open fire in the welcoming lounge for chilly nights, flat screen TVs and Premium Cable. Only the finest linens and mattresses are used and everything is done to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of our guests.
