My wife booked our stay for Valentine’s Day, and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and thoughtfully put together. The property was beautiful, clean, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. What really made our stay special, though, was the exceptional service throughout the week. Mary Kate and Mackenzie were both absolutely wonderful — attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we felt taken care of the entire time. Their warmth and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We had such a memorable Valentine’s stay and are already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

Aqua Beach Club was fantastic! Even in the winter. It’s probably amazing in the summer. Rooms were modern and beachy at the same time. And the vibe was equally cool and premium. Friendly and helpful staff every step of the way, from booking, stay, and checkout. Lots of very thoughtful touches everywhere. I’d highly recommend them for your next North Fork stay.

This hotel is a little hidden gem. You would never even know it was there. When I first pulled up, I wasn't sure what I was going to expect but when I opened up the door and walked in all the amazing little hidden gems. All around the facility, all the way down to their wallpaper coat hangers, you name it most adorable things that I could find the service was immaculate, the front desk, girls, amazing. They communicated everything amd helped me with anything i needed. And I love their complimentary wine that they gave me for me in my room.And to know that it was local made it even better. Their facility is very clean and I felt so at home and cozy in their rooms i even think it's so cute how I have my own patio to look out to the water. And when I woke up the next morning, it was so peaceful and beautiful. I love my complimentary breakfast.Basket.I thought it was absolutely perfect I also love that they have igloo there.So cute.I really did enjoy the atmosphere.I look forward to going again in the summer and seeing what else that they have

Chelsea the manager goes above and beyond to make sure your experience is the most special it can be. Location is perfect with private beach and close proximity to the best wineries. We stayed with our pawsome pup and I’m not sure if she or us loved it more! Can’t wait for our return!

We have now stayed twice at Aqua and have had an amazing experience both times. The staff (specifically Chelsea at the front desk), were all kind, accommodating and made every effort to ensure guests were happy. Stays in both the Summer and Winter had their own charm in this wonderful boutique hotel.

We stayed over Thanksgiving… low occupancy, and prices reflected that. Service was great. Rooms are great. Don’t believe the reviews. Not rundown at all. Bathroom included. What kept this from 5 stars is that the outside areas are a tad unkempt. Like barstools piled up in a haphazard fashion. Think it is just offseason look. This is minor. The place is really good.

This is the second time staying here and again it did not disappoint. The location is perfect, amazing view of the water. The room was beautiful and very clean. The morning basket left at our door with coffee, bagels etc is a very nice touch. Looking forward to our next stay.

My wife and I had a great time staying at Aqua - I knew of the property, but never stayed there. Exceeded expectations. Rooms were great - large and clean. Property is perfect, with great sunset views, and the in room breakfast basket is a really nice touch. Highly recommend!

We absolutely love this hotel. Amazing location, super quiet, friendly staff, great amenities, and the breakfast basket?! top notch all around. Above all, though, is Chelsea. She’s the best hotel manager someone could hope for. Super professional and accommodating. We can’t wait to go back! Don’t hesitate to book.

This was so serene. I went by myself for just a relaxing ME Day and it was lovely. My king size room had a wonderful view of the beach, barrel sauna and igloo. Nice cabana. Though it was winter with snowfall, I was out there in the warm comfy robe (provided), eating my picnic breakfast basket and coffee (Also provided). Oh, I enjoyed the hot tub outdoors with snow flurries falling on me. Just relaxing. I’ll be visiting in the summer.
