Directions
Accessing the Sailors Haven Cottage is easy, but careful preparation will help your trip run smoothly. Visitors can catch a Ferry from Sayville on Long Island over to Sailors Haven. Once at Sailors Haven, follow the main walk South toward the public bathroom facility. Just after the bathroom head east on the concrete trail that bisects the main walkway. Follow that walkway until you reach another boardwalk trail on the right. Follow the second boardwalk trail around the corner until you come upon the fenced in house on the right side of the trail. Ferry access is also available from the opposite direction at Cherry Grove.
Sayville Ferry Terminal is located at 41 River Rd in Sayville, New York, 11782.
By Train:

This is the one in a kind opportunity to stay in a national Park service cabin, which is well appointed and very private, and not too far away from conveniences like the ferry, beach access and shopping in Cherry Grove. Best access is from the ferry from Sayville to sailors Haven. Best to bring a garden cart which you can use to carry food, bags, beach gear etc. The house is comprised of a large living and dining area with a fully functional kitchen, separate bedroom and a bathroom with shower stall. The back porch is generously furnished with a Weber propane, fueled grill with the propane tanks provided by the NPS, a table with four chairs and a separate outdoor hot and cold water shower with an enclosure that affords privacy and still allows you to take off your shoes outside and avoid bringing sand into the cabin. The best feature of this location is peace and quiet. There is no road traffic, only the sound of the birds and the waves. The cabin is about a 10 minute walk from the ferry terminal at sailors Haven and is about another 20 minute walk from the cabin to the edge of the boardwalk section of Cherry Grove. In the middle of Cherry Grove, there is a grocery market where, though the prices are higher than mainland supermarkets, you can get fresh produce and virtually everything else you need for the kitchen. Though with the capacity to sleep four people (2 in the BR and 2 on the sofa bed in the LR) the cabin is better suited to two people. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, dishes, glasses and cooking tools including an excellent corkscrew. There are generous amounts of paper towels, toilet paper, alu foil, even olive oil and vinegar. Extras include a fully functioning microwave, coffee maker, blender and multi speed ceiling fans. Though mainland NY and even LI were experiencing a heat wave during our stay, we never felt uncomfortable given much lower air temps on the barrier island. All in all a wonderful place to stay - recommended highly!
