josh and i went to shelter island for a few days to celebrate his 30th birthday. we stayed at a great hotel, a modernized old motel decorated very minimalist with lots of beautiful whites and yellows… everyone working there was european, which made us feel like we were a lot farther than an hour and a half from nyc… a big portion of the island is a nature preserve and we took a hike and we found ourselves on a totally secluded beach. it was heavenly! on our way back we found a great thrift store (always on the look-out!) and bought some vintage mugs, a platter, a few vintage aprons, and some mustard colored linen napkins. All for under $15! more pictures here…
seems like a lovely place. is it the kind of place that doesn’t have cars?
hi cindy
there are cars on the island… we drove and had to take the car on a ferry- there isn’t a bridge. it was lovely!
That is a beautiful hotel! Small but with a good sense of fashion. Whish I were “closer”, but I live in Brasil, São Paulo, and that is why it would be rather difficult to spend the weekend at this lovely hotel…
I saw your link at SimplyOlive’s blog and decided to pay you a visit.
Really like the photos and posts in your blog.
Take care,
Dani
lovely cups, coffee would be nice!
Is this the place that Jennifer went to? Although I'm in London, I'm always looking out for any secluded beaches on the planet 🙂
