"Shelter Island: discovering the un-Hamptons"
>
The journey begins with a quick 5’ ferry ride. Best way to start the weekend
The nostalgic front office with key holders at The Pridwin resort
Our room had water views and a private deck
Browsing the common areas of The Pridwin which we found charming and cozy
We enjoyed our half-day time at the pool
Cian enjoying a very Dry Martini at Ram's Head Inn during sunset
We had dinner at “The Terrace” of The Pridwin, and we tasted all the locally harvesters' seafood and produced
And had a night cap at this cozy nook where you can play cards, games and read
Our room had terrace and waking up on the water was definitely one of the highlights of our stay
The gym has a Peloton bike. We logged in using our accounts and put in a good workout
Cian and I biking around. The Pridwin has plenty of bikes available as part of their amenity
The spa features natural Malibu based skincare products by Osea
For dinner we indulged on Long Island oysters, lobster spaghetti, and lobster caprese. Some of the signatures dishes by Chef Drew Hiatt
On the second night we got upgraded to one of the 17 cottages on property. They all come with their own deck and a fireplace for fall winter staycations
Drinks on the lawn of The Pridwin overlooking Crescent Beach and the sun setting down. In summary: bless

A 1927 landmark resort was renovated to preserve the culture of Long Island and bring back its original beauty

Shelter Island’s barefoot chic vibes and “carefree” americana summer style define this island as the “Un-Hamptons”

All the public areas, in particular, the restaurant and bar terraces are stunning, having views overlooking Crescent Beach
-
We love some good old-school hand-painted signage
-
The landscaping and the perfectly nestled cottages around the Pridwin
-
The amenities, from the pool to the bikes, from water sports to camp-fire s’mores and waterfront yoga
-
The menu is not so vegetarian or vegan friendly and not highlighting the local produce and purveyors
-
I was hoping the store and minibar would feature local alcohol/ wineries from Long Island
