走進這個地方，我實際上說了「好吧……這正是我一直在尋找的東西」。
首先，它不僅僅是一套公寓，而是一個完整的海濱度假村。他們最近重新整理了藏在這些高大的松樹中的網球場，因此即使你只是站在那裡，你也能感受到度假的氛圍。然後你轉個彎，泳池的場景映入眼簾：有很多躺椅，讓你可以根據曬黑的程度選擇享受陽光或陰影。
健身房就在泳池旁邊，配備了更新的器材，還能俯瞰泳池，因此我實際上可以堅持靈活的計劃：快速鍛煉，然後游泳，最後回到泳池椅上。或者我可以跳過這一切，直接去沙灘，隨意漫步在海岸線上，還可以看到朝向東方海灘州立公園的燈塔景色。
現在最棒的部分：這是一個二樓的單元，這意味著上面沒有鄰居，這改變了整個天花板和佈局。我最喜歡的是從廚房、客廳和陽台俯瞰的壯觀水景。客廳有雙層高的天花板和壁爐，感覺開放而通風，而不是被壓迫的空間，隨著天氣變化，水景真是如夢似幻。主臥室擁有自己的水景，配以高天花板和更新的浴室，透出新鮮開放的感覺。
廚房設計得很好，擁有水景——新的不銹鋼家電、石英檯面以及一個吧台，使每個人都能聚集在客廳一側。
陽台的設計聰明無比：沿著客廳牆有一個額外的檯面和椅子，因此你擁有這種內外通透的葡萄酒和起司流動感，感覺毫不費力。不知為何，陽台的設計讓你幾乎看不到鄰居——我無法理解，但我非常喜歡。當其他人出來時，二樓的書房也有水景（因為客廳的天花板非常高，形成了這種酷炫的額外空間）。
島嶼盡頭高爾夫球場和希臘美食餐廳距離不到一英里，所以那裡只需兩分鐘的車程。格林波特村距離約2.5英里，方便購物、用餐，以及我喜歡在北福克做的一切。
然後我突然想到，謝爾特島的渡輪就在那裡。這為謝爾特島的餐廳和前往薩格港的快速旅行打開了大門。如果我需要進城，火車和漢普頓捷運也就在渡輪碼頭旁邊，所以進出真的很方便。
這是一個在夏天、秋天、冬天每個季節都讓人覺得合適的地方，最棒的是當我鎖上門時，我不再為戶外維護而焦慮。我可以就這樣離開，朝南去，徹底放鬆。

Walking into this place, I actually said “okay…this is exactly what I’ve been hunting for”.
First off, it’s not just a condo, it is a complete waterfront beach resort. They have recently refreshed tennis courts tucked into these tall pine trees, so even when you’re just standing there you feel vacation vibes. Then you turn the corner and there’s the pool scene: plenty of lounge chairs so you can do the sun or shade depending on the tan line status.
The gym is right next to the pool with updated equipment, and it looks out over the pool so I can actually stick to a flexible plan: quick workout, then laps, then back to the pool chair. Or I can skip all of that and go straight to the sandy beach and just wander the shoreline that even has a view toward the lighthouse out by Orient Beach State Park.
Now the best part: this is a second-floor unit, which means nobody is above and that changes the whole ceiling and layout. What I really like is the commanding water view from the kitchen, living room, and deck. The living room has double-height ceilings and a fireplace, so it feels open and airy, not boxed-in—and the water views are unreal as the weather changes. The main bedroom has its own water view and with the high ceiling and the updated bathroom has fresh open feeling.
The kitchen is dialed-in with views of the water—new stainless steel appliances, quartz counters and a breakfast bar that keeps everyone on the living room side.
The deck is set up brilliantly: there’s an extra counter with stools along the living room wall, so you’ve got this indoor-outdoor wine-and-cheese flow that feels effortless. And somehow the deck is built so you don’t really see the neighbors—no idea how but I’m a fan. When the others come out, there’s a second floor den with water views too (because the living room ceiling is so high, it creates this cool extra space).
Islands End Golf Course and the Hellenic are under a mile away, so that’s a two-minute drive. Greenport Village is only about 2.5 miles away for shops, food, and everything that I love to do on the North Fork.
And then it hit me, the Shelter Island ferries are right there. That opens up Shelter Island restaurants, quick trips toward Sag Harbor. If I have to run into the city, the train and Hampton Jitney are right by the ferry terminal too, so it’s genuinely easy to come and go.
This is one of those places that makes sense in every season, summer, fall, winter and the best part is when I lock the door, I am not stressing outdoor maintenance. I can just leave, head south, and actually relax.
