A Visit to Roslyn, NY!

Over the Martin Luther King holiday weekend we were itching to get out of the city for a few days and take things a bit slower. So, we hopped on a train and headed for the little village of Roslyn, NY, on the north shore of Long Island about an hour train ride from Manhattan....

    This house is amazing! What a perfect getaway for the early summer!ReplyCancel

    Wow! I love all these spaces. The houses looks like it’s full of charm, and isn’t one of those cookie cutter houses. Especially wonderful for kids? We’ll check it out. We love the Oregon Coast, and wouldn’t call it dreary at all. The rain, when it does come, makes everything green. Usually in the springtime the rain is light, and doesn’t stay long. We love the north Oregon Coast, especially Astoria and Cannon Beach (when Cannon Beach isn’t packed), but have always wanted to stay in Manzanita. We’ll check it out.ReplyCancel

    Wonderful blog post! We have stayed at the Houses on Manzanita Beach before, can’t wait to go back there. Love the way you describe the house. It’s indeed beautifully designed and very very cozy; the best place to stay with family and/or friends and share lots of fun. Looking forward to reading your next post about Manzanita as well.ReplyCancel

    Liz does an awesome job – love her places and her touch on the decoratoring. We stayed at another cool place called 3ONE8 in Manzanita – it’s a modern remodel close to the main strip of Laneda Avenue with a private back yard overlooking the golf course. Google it – you’ll find it. Liz’ houses are awesome.ReplyCancel

  • […] sounds familiar that’s because Liz took her family there a couple of years ago and shared it here, and fell so in love with it that she had to bring more family back. Manzanita is the most charming […]ReplyCancel

  • […] have talked about our love of Manzanita here and here, and love having this little oasis be our headquarters when we travel to the coast. We […]ReplyCancel

    My daughter got a Nabi tablet for Christmas and she is obsessed with it. I try to keep all our tablets uncharged for the most part, but they are lifesavers when we need them!ReplyCancel
