There’s something special about summer in New York, and the return of warm weather calls for weekends by the beach. Of course, there’s no better place for a luxury seaside getaway than the pristine beaches of Long Island.

Whether you’re looking for a grand home with a pickleball court or a quiet escape with ocean views, we’re making your search for the perfect home away from home easy.
