Canoe Place Waterfront Residences
A balcony and a full kitchen by the water
About this hotel
Canoe Place Waterfront Residences extends the cottage logic of its sister property next door with a private balcony and a fully equipped kitchen in every unit, useful for a family that wants to cook rather than eat out across a multi-night stay near Meschutt Beach, just 1.7 kilometres from the property. The garden, terrace and seasonal outdoor pool give guests several places to sit outside beyond the balcony itself, and free WiFi runs throughout the aparthotel. The roughly 27-kilometre drive to Splish Splash sits at the higher end of the range for this stretch of the East End, a trade-off some families make deliberately for a genuinely residential, self-catering base near the water.

Our take
The full kitchen and private balcony suit a family or small group planning a longer stay with more self-catering than restaurant meals, and the beach proximity adds a non-waterpark day easily. It is a longer drive to Splish Splash than most properties on this list, worth weighing against the residential setting it offers instead.
- ✓Stock the kitchen at a Riverhead grocery store on arrival day, before settling in near Meschutt Beach for the stay.
- ✓Book early, since this small property carries limited inventory compared with larger hotels nearby.
- ✓Plan the roughly 27-kilometre drive to Splish Splash as a single round trip rather than multiple day visits.
Why we love it
- Full kitchen in every unit

Why guests love itA small group staying at Canoe Place Waterfront Residences finds the full kitchen changes the rhythm of the trip, with breakfast and most dinners made in-house rather than driving to find a restaurant near Hampton Bays. The balcony becomes the default evening spot after the roughly 27-kilometre drive back from Splish Splash, and the short walk to Meschutt Beach fills the one day the group skips the park entirely.
