Location! Location! Location! Ruby’s Cove.

Ruby’s Cove is the perfect choice for travelers, especially those without a car, who want to be close to everything that the vibrant and historic Village of Greenport has to offer. When you stay at Ruby’s Cove, you’ll be steps away from some of the North Fork’s finest restaurants, bars, boutique shopping, bike rides and craft beer tasting which is right next door at the Greenport Harbor Brewing Co.

It’s an absolutely decadent and convenient home base for exploring this stunning area by land and sea. Get picked up for your wine tour right here on the outside wrap around porch. You can even take a trip to beautiful Shelter Island, which is just a short ferry ride across the harbor.

The best part is that all of these activities are available right outside your door. Ruby’s Cove is a destination and a state of mind. Slip in and feel at home instantly. Unwind, step back in time, and enjoy a Boho Victorian oasis.

Built in 1837, this magnificent Queen Anne Victorian home surrounds you in the comfort and the ease of another era. Far from “stuffy,” Ruby’s Cove features an eclectic décor with a relaxed and inviting vibe. Think chandeliers, rich colors and fabrics, combined with a whimsical lightness and extreme comfort. The rooms are cozy and the beds outrageously comfortable and you won’t be able to resist lounging around in the salon, library, or outdoors on the wraparound porch. There are no TV’s at Ruby’s Cove, but free wireless and music is always available.

Once you’re here, you’ll be spoiled with the use of free bikes, beach gear, a shared bottle of wine or fresh growler of beer from our neighbor, Greenport Harbor Brewing Co, tasty treats, and a little fridge with some complimentary drinks and munchies.   Visit Gallery

Of course, no trip to Greenport would be complete without a visit to a few of the North Fork’s world-famous Long Island wineries. There are more than 50 wineries/tasting rooms within a 30 mile radius of Ruby’s Cove.

Don’t have a car? No problem. Come out on the LIRR or Hampton Jitney from Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens. Greenport’s railroad station and bus stop is just a 5-minute walk but, if you wish, we’ll even pick you up for free.

For our friends in New England, you can take Cross Sound Ferry from New London, CT which docks at Orient Point, just 8 miles away from Ruby’s Cove and if you decide to leave your car at home, we offer free pickup from there as well. You can even come by boat and tie up at Mitchell Park Public Marina, just 3 blocks away.

At Ruby’s Cove the optional breakfast is served at 10 AM. This gives the guests time to enjoy a morning bike ride, a walk or run, a swim off the dock at the end of our block, or to just sleep in.
