Outside the door
Nostalgic waterfront hideaway
Lawn games, vintage wicker, and saltwater breezes set an easygoing summer rhythm across ten waterfront acres overlooking Peconic Bay.
“The Pridwin has bottled up the clean-scrubbed charm of the American northeast coast and placed it against the scenic, waterfront views of Shelter Island.”
Where it shines
Remarkable
Ten waterfront acres on Crescent Beach featuring private moorings, tennis courts, heated pool, and complimentary paddleboards.
Notable
Playful coastal interiors mixing Josef Frank wallpaper, Pierre Frey textiles, vintage nautical pieces, and green banquettes.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
its 49 rooms and 16 outlying cottages have been thoroughly renovated, resulting in an aesthetic that marries the most desirable aspects of its 1920s founding and the elegant simplicity of the boutique-hotel era.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On a waterfront hillside overlooking Crescent Beach, a ferry ride across Shelter Island Sound.
The rooms
Main House rooms offer breezy coastal tones, while standalone hillside cottages feature wood-burning fireplaces, kitchenettes, and private decks over Crescent Beach.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
White loungers and parasols ring the heated outdoor pool, looking straight out over Crescent Beach and the bay.
The spa
Treatment rooms look toward the water, accompanied by a dry sauna, a tiled steam room, and a hammam.
Restaurant
The Terrace
French doors open to an outdoor dining deck serving East End seafood and local oysters over Peconic Bay.
Playful nostalgia is the leitmotif in the Pridwin’s new look: old signboards, ship models, and wicker furniture linger, but exuberant textiles... also bring a touch of modern whimsy.
At the table
Bartenders mix drinks at the outdoor bar, and Wednesday nights bring summer cookouts with live music across the lawn.
How it began
Welcoming guests since 1927, the property has been family-run by the Petrys since 1961 before its complete modern restoration.
