Cliffside Resort Condominiums

We checked in at noon on Sunday 9÷13÷15 and chewed out Tuesday 9÷15÷15. We got room #203 in Forward Watch Bldg. B.
We absolutely loved our stay here. It was my husband, twin 6 yr old girls and myself. We had 2 bedroom, 2 bath, with an ocean view. It had some trees on the left and My husband felt like that was considered «an obstructed view», but I thought this added to the beauty of our view. Anyway, the room was clean, it was fully stocked with pots, pans, plates, silverware, etc. We didn’t do any cooking, only brought breakfast foods and drinks. Only complaint about room were the beds. The mattresses were horrible. Like really bad. Ps I could stay here for more than 2 days because of that.
The grounds were beautiful and clean. The property sits on top of a bluff overlooking the water. It was quiet while we were there, so it felt very secluded. We felt like we had the place to ourselves. So I think this made a huge difference in how much we enjoyed our stay. The pool is very small for how many rooms they have. And the area surrounding the pool itself is super small too. Definitely not enough space. But it was heated and we had it to ourselves, so we had a great time with it. If for some reason they were busy those days, I would have hated it due to lack of space. There is the beautiful grass area on your way to the beach, with Adirondack chairs. It’s a beautiful spot to have some coffee, or do some yoga and enjoy the view… But it was socking wet and muddy in half the area. It was from rain or anything, it seemed like they had some kind of an issue. Forgot to ask what was up with that.
The private beach they have is absolutely stunning. Like out of a movie. The chairs were kinda filthy, like it seems no one goes down there to take a look at the conditions the chairs are in and there was this random Chair under the staircase. Another indication no one was taking care of the beach area. Either way, it wasn’t enough to spoil it for me, just pointing out what I noticed. it was absolutely heavenly while we were down there. Loved it.
Overall, we all loved our stay, but I think a huge part of that had to do with the time of year, it was empty, and we only stayed 2 days. Beds not comfy enough for any longer than that.
If they upgrade the mattresses and get a more spacious pool area, they would get 5 stars.

Horrible customer service. We booked and paid for a reservation only to have the management company tell us 5 days before the vacation that they could not honor the reservation because they were over booked.
With all the other sub-​par reviews regarding this property I am not sure why anyone would stay there.

went there for a family wedding, so there were numerous rooms booked with our party. Our room was water side (mmm not you had to peek between other buildings) For the amount of money they charged the bedding was old and lumpy — should be updated, the rug in the bedroom was stained and the bathmat in the bathroom was dirty.
There was an issue with my Dad, when he called to ask for someone to come to his room because there were stains on the bathroom seat, the man said to my father you called me for this and then proceeded to yell at my Dad, so loud that my niece in the next room heard it and went over to see what was wrong. When the complaint was made, nothing was done to the employee. At the pool. the man who maintained the pool area was rude to all of us also. My sister fell down the stairs and went to office to fill out an incident report, and the person in the office said we will call you tomorrow, which ofr course they never did, until my sister called to complain and then she finally got an incident report. The place needs to be cleaned and the staff needs to be re trained on customer service. I think the only nice person there was the life guard. The family will never be back

Booked a quick family get away here with my parents, siblings and our significant others. Everything was wonderful!
We booked 2 rooms for the 10 of us and we were very comfortable. The rooms were immaculate and the décor was wonderful. The views and sunsets were just amazing. We grilled on the provided BBQ’s and had dinner on the picnic tables. The beach was nice and private and the provided lounge chairs were very comfy! We even got permission to have a bonfire on the beach! The heated pool was great since the ocean was still a bit too cold for a swim.
The staff was all super nice. The resort was a short drive from everywhere we wanted to be. We will all be going back for sure!

Very happy with my impulsive romantic getaway with my husband!
Checked out several places to stay in Greenport and chose Cliffside resort on Unilocal reviews. Well I must say I think everything we were looking for was exactly as depicted.
The condos are gorgeous, the view from the master bedroom is beyond WOW!!!
We were able to easily barbeque chicken and veggies because the kitchens were well stocked with all the utensils needed!!!
The pool (heated) was very relaxing and the resort is kid friendly which for me normally would be a deal breaker but it is laid out so well the kids are actually not underfoot, They had a movie on the lawn Shrek the kids were so cute and quiet it reminded me of my childhood at the drive-​ins great memories cudos to Cliffside…
Only draw back the beach… long walk and climb back up… anyway to do a winding trail so its not so steep a person not in great shape (me) was… out of breath to say the least after the stairs back up saw some people not even bother to go down to the beach.
Overall I will go back and stay longer definitely easy to unwind anywhere on the resort!!!

We’ve been lifetime vacationers in Greenport and Cliffside is as good as it gets (second, maybe, to renting some fabulous vacation home on the beach, but alas, that is often prohibitively expensive in the Memorial Day to Labor Day period). I’m sitting on our condo balcony right now, looking at yet another gorgeous sunset whilst sipping rose, while my son plays with other vacationer’s children on the expansive lawn overlooking the sound with a giant beach ball. Tonight there are more kids out than usual because they are playing an outdoor movie on the lawn come dusk. The pool here is great. The location perfect. If you are looking for a family-​friendly beachfront spot, this space is perfect. I’m shocked by the low reviews, frankly. We’ve stayed in some dirt bag places in Greenport (I mean you, Drosso’s) and this place is worth much better reviews than it has so far received.

Dear Unilocal… Please make a ½ star Option.
This place was a STRONG 3.5 stars. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite, with 2 full bathrooms. We were there for a bachlorette night.
There was 8 total of us, and with the addition of an aerobed all had a place to sleep. There was also a nice sized balcony with a nice view. There was a nice sized pool, and i must note. WAS HEATED. Always a nice touch. There is also access to the beach and tons of adirondeck chairs to hang in.
CONS– Listen… for $ 500 + a night… get a nicer staff. LITERALLY all but one person who worked there was rude to us. I mean.RUDE. No one was helpful, and everyone was pretty terrible at their jobs. Front desk woman on Sunday morning was lovely and apologized when we complained. (A real apology would be some $ off our bill… but she was nice enough about it.)
Pros outweigh the Cons. so I would def suggest this place.

Before my scheduled booked weekend and upon reading the reviews here, I contacted the resort asking if they had any opinion on their reviews. They assured me that there no cleanliness issues and to let them know if there any problems.
When we arrived I was a little worried, but I have to say that the place was amazing. Everything was clean and spotless. Their pool is one of the cleanest I ever went into. They stocked the room with everything you needed. They were friendly and no issues with service.
With that said, the views and the location is great! I stayed in Greenport Village before so I wanted to give this a try and I was very happy. My intention this weekend was to get some peace and just relax and read a book. This resort has a beach, chairs on a big lawn and a balcony all available for me to kick back and read. And the sunset was the perfect zen moment each night.
I highly recommend this resort. Well worth the price for visitors with a family.

Stayed here for the weekend for my sister’s wedding. Let me start by saying the grounds are beautiful and from the outside, the place looks great.
We had originally reserved the place for 4 nights but had a health challenge with our kids so we had to leave early. I will say that upon hearing this, the front desk folks were kind enough to let us check out early. That and the view from the «resort» and our room are the reason this place gets even the two stars that I gave it.
It’s embarrassing that this place is 400+/night and is as filthy as it is. I understand it’s in a cute touristy town so prices are high but the room was just gross! If I were not traveling with kids, I’d have moved to a different place but it was just too difficult.
The unit we stayed in was C106. The carpet was completely stained and dirty. If I took my shoes off and walked around they were black in a matter of minutes. The couch was pleather and had dirty hand/​fingerprints all over it. The sliding glass door that leads out to our unit’s balcony (to which there is public access) was coming off and made it difficult to close the door properly. The bathrooms were fine. The bedrooms were ok but the bedding needs to be updated or cleaned. Pull out in living room was uncomfortable and creaky.
We were traveling with our two kids, kids like most who play on the floor, drop their things on the floor, etc and it was unbearable to watch this all occur on that filthy carpet.
My brother and his family stayed in a nearby unit that was slightly nicer (had décor on the walls and a couple shelves/​pictures — ours had none of that as though they had considered remodeling it but decided to rent it out instead) but their unit was also filthy with a stained carpet. (They at least had an area rug that was used to cover up some of the filth).
My last complaint is that the place is not toddler friendly. The door does not lock from the inside so they can go outside if they can turn a lever door handle. Only half of the doors in the unit had a functional lock (1 bathroom and 1 bedroom were broken). And there is a HUGE fire extinguisher hanging on the wall that easily dismounts from the wall is really dangerous for little feet/​toes.
There’s lots more but you get the point. Don’t stay here. Find another place.

The rooms are significantly smaller and darker than pictured on their website — especially the poolside ones. When we got there, we asked if we could up upgrade (and were happy to pay the difference) to a bigger room, with a water view. After initially saying no, and spending several minutes on his computer, we were told that in fact, there is one available, and that we could switch the next morning after the room was cleaned. Of course, it didn’t happen, and the next day were told, very curtly, that we could not and the night clerk should not have made the switch! So we were stuck in this tiny, dark, place w/​our newborn. You could barely open the pack-​n-​play in the bedroom. We could not even open the window for fresh air because the noise from the poolside was very loud and kept startling the baby. Not a good week.

I had to stay here for a week for work and I would have to say that the service and security, in my opinion, was deplorable at best!!!
Waking in my first night, I noticed that everything was filthy, from stains on the floor and the wall to dirty bed sheets. I travel for work and have seen it all. I could do a little cleaning myself no problem.
What really wigged me out was what happened early in the morning of my first day there. I was sleeping soundly with something propped against the door. (There are no deadbolts on the inside)
I heard the boots a stranger walk into my condo early in the morning. He/​she had a key and abruptly left. The propped object against the door had been knocked over.
After reporting this to the manager he found it hard to believe and insisted that this had never happened before. When I asked for them to rekey the room, they said that that would be impossible for them to do (What no locksmiths in the area or were they too cheap)?
They were willing to put a chain on the door but that was the extent of it. When I explained that I had a lot of expensive equipment in the condo, they could care less.
I politely asked to be moved to another condo. The manager Rick said that there would be a cleaning fee. Are you kidding me?!! They not only did not get it, they did not want to get it and kept denying the possibility that someone could have copied the condo key.
I would stay anywhere else other than this place. Save yourself the trouble and go to a motel 6 for better service, security and quality.

Overpriced for the service offered, however the views and location are pretty wonderful.
Had staff walk in on both Friday and Saturday of my weekend getaway with my wife. When I went to the office the teenage girl eating cereal was more focused on her food than providing customers with service, I can’t believe a hotel doesn’t have a policy for staff just entering rooms unannounced.
Pool is small but nice, be on the lookout for weekend power moms with numerous kids, coolers full of food, and controlling a section of tables and chairs for their «camps».
Clean rooms, nice amenities in the rooms and the BBQ stations are wonderful.
Work on staff policy, get staff that care a bit more, and otherwise you got a nice place to enjoy a break from the daily

The Cliffside was my home away from home during a friend’s wedding weekend at the beginning of June. The resort overlooks the Long Island Sound and offers 2 bed/​2bath condos, which is perfect for families or groups traveling together. Ours featured 2 bedrooms (one with a queen bed and attached bath, the other with twin beds and a bath across the hall), a kitchenette with both a mini fridge and a wine fridge, a living room with ample seating, and a balcony. I didn’t step foot into any of the other units, but my guess is they are probably similar in layout and décor. Our condo (which we shared with another couple) wasn’t waterfront, but we were still afforded a fairly good view of the Sound.
To be honest, I didn’t actually spend much time in our condo other than to sleep. But it was super clean, comfortable, and spacious. There’s a pool on site, although again we didn’t utilize it… wedding weekends tend to be a bit jam-​packed, particularly when you’re in the bridal party! The resort also offers private beach access, which I imagine is a definite draw for vacationers. And I can’t forget one of my favorite features: FREE Wi-​Fi! How many times have you stayed at a hotel lately only to discover that you have to pay for wi-​fi? Well I know I sure have, and I am certainly not a fan of shelling out the extra cash when I’m already paying a pretty penny for the room. So Cliffside gets major points for offering free wireless internet to guests.
Aside from the room itself, I was super impressed with the staff. Early check-​in was no problem and each person with whom I interacted was friendly and informative. The Cliffside totally served its purpose as a solid home base during a very fun-​filled and busy weekend.
