A rose 'for luck' pinned to the door of this first floor 100 year old room welcomes you. Come in and enjoy the comfort and elegance of a queen size canopied four poster bed and ornate fireplace under 10 foot molded ceilings. Two large windows overlook the water view of the Ashamoque inlet in its park like setting to the South and West. A soft color theme of dove grey walls, an antique collection of blue and white china displayed on the mantelpiece and bathroom vanity, 19th century furnishings and decorative prints of tall ships or roses complete the tranquil mood. The large private attached bathroom features a tub with shower, and antique washstand.
A Victorian gentleman or woman would be very much at home in this room overlooking the Long Island Sound. A queen size Mahogany sleigh bed, bow fronted 18 century dresser, burgundy leather slipper chair and dark framed 19 century prints adorning the silvery damask papered walls are some of the antique furnishings that support an authentic experience of those times in comfortable elegance. From the three, floor to ceiling windows guests can enjoy spectacular water views and sunsets to the North and the morning sun to the East. The finest and most comfortable mattress available and soft European linens complete the luxurious experience a stay in this room affords. The newly renovated en suite bathroom with spacious shower provide the amenities and convenience of modern times.
This French provincial style room overlooks the Long Island Sound from each of its three floor to ceiling windows. Guests can enjoy the most spectacular sunset view from either the comfort of the antique cast iron bed or one of the two easy chairs. The color theme of soft blues and beiges, the 19 century fashion prints, antique mirrors and furnishings plus the finest linens and a top of the line mattress complete the sense of comfort, luxury and old world charm that the original owners enjoyed. The newly renovated bathroom with spacious shower and floor to ceiling window provides the added amenities and convenience our guests expect today.
As the name suggests this corner room with its three floor to ceiling windows offers expansive views to the South and West draws both morning and evening light. The waters of the Ashamamoque inlet of the Great Peconic Bay can be seen all year round and captured in Spring and Summer through the leaves of the ancient maple trees that grow in the park like setting to the South. From the West facing window can be seen the Long Island Sound, through which the setting sun bathes this room in a rosy glow each evening. The decorative theme here is the Victorian Traveler in Asia. Wine colored shantung silk drapes frame the windows and a deep red embroidered quilt with matching shams adorns the intricately carved four-poster 'rice' bed. On the walls and mantle piece are antique Chinese prints, textiles and artifacts. For modern comfort the newly renovated en suite bathroom boasts a spacious shower with bench seating.
On the second floor the Silk Road room as the name suggests has an oriental theme and is the largest room we offer. Gold colored embroidered silk drapes frame the spacious floor to ceiling bay window through which you can see the Long Island Sound to the North and garden and wods to the South. Walls are painted a soft fern green with co-coordinating linens that cover the King size sleigh bed. The bathroom is spacious with two floor to ceiling windows overlooking the garden to the East. Amenities include a shower and large vanity.

Shorecrest is beautiful,comfortable,inviting,and one of NY's best treasures. Marilyn, the owner, is gracious and generous. The food was gourmet quality with portion sizes large enough to feed the most voluminous appetite.The Inn,the food and Marilyn are definitely worth the trip and the wine tasting forays were great too.
