When you first pull into the Silver Sands it looks like a motel from the 60's and while the decor might be from the 60s the place is clean and affordable and very people friendly. The management is upbeat and helpful with suggestions for dinner or site seeing. The rooms are clean and so are the pool and the grounds.... more

We decided to take the kids and escape to the North Fork, and what a beautiful spot we found at the Silver Sands! The kids enjoyed the sweet little beach and the pool, and we got to relax in quiet comfort in the pretty, secluded setting with views of Shelter Island. Dinner in Greenport was a breeze (only a mile... more

Let me start by saying that if you are not looking for a fancy 5-star retreat on the North Fork, this place will suit you just fine. The motel is right on the beach, just minutes from the historical town of Greenport. I went on a recent trip to Long Island's wine country with my husband and some friends. The... more

We have been vacationing at the Silver Sands for the past 5 years and has been outstanding every time. The staff is super accommodating to provide a relaxing experience by the bay. What we enjoy best is the relaxing activities such as swimming either in the pool or bay, BBQ's at sun down, building sand castles, watching the oysters being... more

We had the family on the East Coast and decided to get away from the city for a few days, and chose wisely with Silver Sands.

The 1950's stylings are fun (the place has loads of character in a really good... more

I have to tell you that after reading the wonderful reviews on TripAdvisor, I was absolutely shocked when I walked into cottage 34. It really is sort of a run down dump. Fortunately, the place was clean, the mattresses and pillows were comfortable, and except for the carpenter ants, there were no bugs inside. But the living room furniture was... more

My husband and I stayed at the Silver Sands May 30 for one night to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary. We had been there the year before, and promised ourselves we would try to make this a yearly anniversary trip. Upon checking in, we were "upgraded" from the regular room we had last year to an ocean-view cottage. What a... more

Yes, it looks like it was built in 1965 but the place is clean and right on the crystal clear water and sand beach. Family run and they bend over backwards to make you feel welcomed and valued. Fresh fruit, milk and breakfast items along with late-night snacks in the room upon your arrival. It's not the Ritz, but it's... more

My parents used to bring my sister and I here when we were kids and I returned with my wife over the summer for two nights, when we were on the east coast. The same family runs the place and has since it opened. They make you feel very at home with a welcome basket. We were flying and had... more
