While the North Fork of Long Island is often referred to as \u201cthe fork less taken,\u201d a new low-key, full-service bayside property in Southold is helping to change all that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Owned by a group of longtime local residents, The Shoals \u2014 named after a community of fish that swim together \u2014 opened in April, on Peconic Bay just across from Shelter Island.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe are set apart from other properties by location,\u201d explains partner Johnny Donadic<\/strong> of the first \u201cboatel\u201d of its kind in this picturesque hamlet known for oenology, aquaculture, and agriculture. \u201cDuring the summer months, from dawn until dusk, you can see the movement of boats and sails in front of our marina and beyond\u201d as guests arrive from land and sea.<\/p>\n

At The Shoals, designer Thomas Juul-Hanson<\/strong> and architect Andrew V Gimbertone<\/strong> honored the area\u2019s maritime culture through thoughtful design choices, such as \u2014 in a nod to New England modernism \u2014 using cedar shingles to clad the building and playing up waterfront views. Inside, The Shoals\u2019s 20 expansive suites come equipped with working kitchens, dining areas, living rooms, and private patios that leave guests feeling completely at home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For those taking a vacation from cooking, The Shoals Food Truck \u2014 parked to the side of the lawn and lorded over by Italian sculptor Oriano Galloni\u2019s towering sculpture, Rise of Mars \u2014 serves guests a nice range of bubbly and wines. Also on the menu: lobster rolls, Caprese sandwiches, and oysters from the on-property, female-owned Little Ram Oyster Company.<\/p>\n

Every Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. during the summer months, Little Ram Oyster Company flips The Shoals Food Truck into a \u201cShuck Truck\u201d and hosts an oyster happy hour, allowing those lodging at the hotel as well as the general public to slurp up oysters and drink in the coastal views with their wine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re grateful for the opportunity to share The Shoals with guests in the light that we experience it,\u201d partner Jonathan Tibett<\/strong> says. \u201cWe’ve set out to create a space that is sophisticated yet unpretentious.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He adds, \u201cBeing Southoldians, we love this special place, and our hearts are full of appreciation for it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Visitors to The Shoals and beyond will likely leave feeling the same way.<\/p>\n
