West Gilgo Beach Community

Homes in West Gilgo Beach reflect an authentic coastal architectural heritage. Original cedar-shake summer cottages stand alongside classic beach colonials, ranches and multi-level residences. Hallmarks include cedar-shake siding, knotty pine walls and warm wood details throughout, open-concept living areas anchored by wood-burning fireplaces or traditional wood-burning stoves, vaulted ceilings with skylights, hardwood floors and window-lined family rooms that open directly to outdoor living space.

Outdoor living is central to the design of these homes. Mahogany decking wraps around residences, while multi-level decks, upper-level decks, roof decks with ocean views and screened-in porches extend living space into the open air. Outdoor showers ease the transition from sand and saltwater to home—several residences feature two—and hot tubs add another layer of relaxation. Renovated homes showcase fully updated kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, tastefully updated bathrooms, Anderson windows, architectural roofing with copper gutters and hand-split western red cedar shingles.

Practical coastal upgrades appear throughout: central air conditioning and ductless split heating and cooling systems, full-house water filtration systems, gas-powered generators and generator hookups, 200-amp electrical service, in-ground sprinklers and professionally landscaped perennial gardens with native trees. Fenced yards provide privacy while expansive driveways accommodate guest parking. The result is a collection of homes—some meticulously renovated while preserving their original character—designed for ease and comfort in a gated oceanfront setting.
