“Classic seaside resort with private beach. Rooms are chic and elegant, the best with water views and private terrace. Cosy cottages offer the same style but a more secluded feel. There's an all-American restaurant & bar plus host of activities for body & soul. A magical beachside retreat.”

Tapping Into Shelter Island-Style Nostalgia

The Pridwin resort has been around since 1927 and has been managed by the Petry family since 1961; 2023 is its first full summer season as part of Cape Resorts, a NY-NJ hospitality company that loves adaptive reuse and historic preservation. The team renovated the 33-room Main House and added two additional freestanding cottages (for 16 total) that stretch across a sloping patch of land facing Crescent Beach. Tennis courts and a very active chicken coop are located up behind the cottages, as is a nice little clearing in the forest with a wooden platform and risers — perfect for some kind of ceremony or nature talk. The cottages are perched up high; a set of stairs leads down to a pretty pool overlooking the water.
