"The Lodge" is a unique home comprised of 4 separate buildings. The main Lodge is the gathering hub of the property – with great room, dining room and kitchen as well as a nice sized laundry room / pantry and a powder room. Exit the Lodge onto a spacious deck which connects the other two cottages – the Master Cottage to your right and then the guest cottage to your left.
All buildings have covered porches and comfortable furnishings for lounging or entertaining. Step down off the deck to a great grilling patio or stroll through the tropical garden paths. Center stage to all of this is the idyllic beach just a step off the boardwalk - beautiful swimming and snorkeling and a great place to walk along the beach and collect shells or go bone fishing or kayaking. There is an additional studio located off of the garage. This fully separate air conditioned space is available to rent with or without the Lodge and is very charming. The studio includes a sitting area, bath and kitchenette on the first floor and a loft above with two twin beds.
Nearest airport: Stella Maris Aiport (SML) at 12 miles

Long Island is located 165 miles southeast of Nassau, Bahamas. Daily flights are available. Flight time is approximately 45 minutes. On Long Island there are two very different coasts, 'The Lodge' is located on the one with soft white beaches and the other with rocky headlands that descend suddenly into the ocean. The terrain varies from sloping hills in the north to low hillsides, with numerous limestone caves, fading into flatlands in the south.
Long Island stretches over 75 miles, with many small settlements along Queen’s Highway. The scenery from the highway changes from old buildings surrounded by stone walls, to beautiful beaches with calm blue water. One can spend the day on a remote beach with complete privacy, or tour the island and shop for pottery, woven goods, or fresh fruit. Go to lunch at an authentic island conch bar serving fresh fish, conch, and lobster Take the time to meet the locals, becoming one with the island.
