"Salt & Serenity" - Absolute Beachfront Retreat on the North Fork
Welcome to your Summer escape on Long Island’s coveted North Fork—where farmhouse charm meets nautical elegance in a rare, absolute beachfront retreat. Tucked away on a tranquil beach road in Aquebogue, Riverhead (just a four-minute drive from the Hampton Jitney bus stop), this two-story haven backs directly onto its own private beach, gracing the entire home with uninterrupted water views across the shimmering Peconic Bay.
Living & Entertaining Designed for relaxed coastal living, the bright, breezy main level features an open-plan layout that flows seamlessly from indoors to out. The spacious living and dining areas open onto a sweeping covered porch—perfect for morning coffees or dining al fresco by the bay.
Whether you're curled up with a book, hosting a leisurely lunch, or raising a glass of local wine at golden hour, every space invites you to slow down and soak up those calming water views.
Just beyond the porch lies your own private, swimmable beach on the Peconic Bay, dotted with Adirondack chairs and sun loungers. Light up the outdoor BBQ and/ or fire-pit and unwind to the rhythm of gentle waves—this is barefoot coastal luxury at its finest.
Chef's Kitchen The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped for the avid cook, featuring a five-burner gas stove, electric oven, microwave, Nespresso machine, and bar seating for two. French doors open directly onto the porch dining area, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining experience.
Bedrooms Upstairs, three pleasantly appointed bedrooms include a king primary suite and a serene queen guest room. A twin bedroom with two full-sized beds is ideal for two adults or up to four children. All bedrooms feature private closets, ceiling fans and air conditioning for year-round comfort.
Bathrooms The primary ensuite is generously sized, with a twin vanity, large soaking tub, and large separate shower. The two guest rooms share a second elegant bathroom, while a charming, nautical-themed powder room is located on the main level.
Effortless Family-Friendly Living Thoughtfully equipped for extended stays, the home includes a separate TV room with cable, library of board games, full laundry room, and off-street parking for several cars. Every detail has been considered to make longer stays feel like home.
The Vibe Quiet luxury. This is a peaceful haven—ideal for families or small groups who want to relax, recharge, and soak up the magic of the North Fork.
The Location Stroll to On the Docks, a lively waterfront restaurant and bar, or pick up local produce at nearby, walkable farm stands. You're minutes from charming restaurants, world-class North Fork wineries, and other Peconic beaches including Jamesport and Indian Island. It’s also a scenic 25-minute drive to Shinnecock Inlet with free, non-permit access to Atlantic Ocean beaches.
For those arriving without a car, the Hampton Jitney stop is just 1.4 miles away, and Riverhead’s LIRR station (with service to Penn and Grand Central via Ronkonkoma) is just 10 minutes by car, with Speonk and Westhampton stops also convenient train options. New York City is 80 miles away.
Nearby attractions include:
• Tanger Outlets • Splish Splash Water Park • Long Island Aquarium • Lavender by the Bay (aromatic lavender fields) • Scott’s Pointe Water & Adventure Park
Enjoy the best of both worlds: Hamptons’ hamlets like Southampton and Westhampton are just 20 minutes away—but the serene, unspoiled “Unhamptons” of the North Fork are all around you.
