A NON Vacation Home on the North fork of Long Island

The North Fork of Long Island- Vacation Homes for the Non-Vacation Home Minded…

Let’s face it- the thought of a retreat is appealing to everyone. I’ve visited friends at their “retreats” in Connecticut, or upstate NY, and the homes are made for relaxation- woods, lakes, deer…the whole serene dream.

MilkUntil it’s time to pick up the milk that was forgotten on the way up- how far back was that little grocery store??

On the North Fork of Long Island, amidst the beaches, woods, deer and open spaces, the grocery stores are conveniently close.

While this may seem trivial when making up a checklist of second home requirements, it only takes one absent carton of milk to interrupt a day designed for sleeping in, exploring, and relaxing.

Especially if, like me, you have a child that has one absolute requirement of their own: a bowl of Cap’n Crunch in the morning. Ok- I like Lucky Charms in the morning.

Southold, in addition to a new Starbucks, is also home to the IGA on Main Street- while we live in a “house in the woods”, the store is five driving minutes away. As a “guest-ination”, summer provokes visitors, and trips to the store are a daily routine.

Cutchogue and Mattituck, NY, also have their own grocery stores within a few miles of the furthest homes- both Waldbaums (Mattituck) and King Kullen (Cutchogue) provide all that is needed for a weekend retreat.

A vacation/second home does not have to mean complete isolation, and one visit to the North Fork of Long Island will have you thinking about additional trips. Call to find out more about real estate on the North Fork- the milk’s on us.
