Dan's Papers - June 6, 2008 - The Cliffside Resort Condominiums

Imagine waking up to a beautiful sunrise overlooking Long Island Sound, or perhaps lounging on a private beach as the world passes you by. All of this is in reach upon your visit to Cliffside Resort Condominiums on the Sound located in beautiful Greenport.

Although the Cliffside Resort has fully come to fruition within the past couple of years in terms of planning and construction, this project was envisioned twenty years ago. Rick Herrmann, President of Ocean Bay Management, explained that the North Fork has a limited number of lodging accommodations, which prevents local businesses from pleasing tourists. An example of this can be seen when wineries eagerly welcome wedding receptions but unfortunately have to decline because guests don't have places to stay. An optimistic Herrmann expressed that all of this will change as the Cliffside Resort solves the lodging shortage problem. The complex offers 68 units with waterfront views. Investors who are interested in strengthening their portfolios have purchased the condos, yet the units are rented out to the public. The community also benefits from this situation with tourism on the rise, it will stimulate local commerce. Simply put, it's a win-win situation for all involved.

Now for the specifics. The units feature two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living rooms, fully equipped kitchenettes, private balconies and decks, flat screen televisions, in-room entertainment systems and individual climate controls. As is evident, the accommodations are quite attractive and luxurious-meeting the needs of their occupants. The overall concept is to bring brand new lodging to the North Fork that is both appealing and affordable. Open to the public for the upcoming summer season, each unit can house up to six people-optimal for families and groups of friends.

Herrmann also describes the connection between the complex and its surroundings. "The resort offers possibilities for organized activities around the North Fork such as kayaking, hiking and bicycling, winery tours, boating and cruising, and golf outings. These special features have been developed based upon our customers' needs. Client feedback is always welcomed." For those who want to relax directly on the premises, they can also enjoy the private beach, heated pool, barbeque station, and sunning on Adirondack chairs.

The complex is nestled on the bluffs overlooking Long Island Sound. Its establishment hopes to reinvent the North Fork. Herrmann also adds that, "Quaint villages, fine restaurants and exquisite wineries add to the splendor of the beautiful scenery." Whether guests stay for two nights or a couple of weeks, they will enjoy dreamy sunsets and tranquility for a reasonable cost. By taking advantage of the many special features on the website along with price quotes, you can easily reserve your unit during the high summer season. "For those who have longed for something different, Cliffside awaits your arrival," proudly stated Herrmann.
