ACCESSIBILITY

Greenport vacation rental, NY

The resort is a collection of brand new town houses set in 7.5 acres of landscaped grounds with level or gently sloping pathways to all key areas. As the unit being offered is at first floor level (UK ground floor), and there are no elevators to the second floor accommodations, this unit may be of particular interest to those with mobility challenges, particularly the disabled, elderly or those with strollers and pushchairs to manage. We appreciate that individual needs do vary greatly, and this page only sets out some of the main access features you may need to know. Please don't hesitate to with additional questions you may have.

APPROACH The resort is located off a well maintained main road. There is plenty of private parking and the March 2009 photo below (scroll down) shows the level pathway from a disabled parking spot, along a gently sloping pathway. Your accommodation is in the corner apartment on the far left of the photo. There are 3 or 4 steps between the pathway and covered entrance to the front door. If you need wheelchair access up the steps, please contact us to discuss your needs for a ramp.

INSIDE THE CONDOMINIUM Please review our floorplans here to see how the unit is laid out. There are no doors between the front entrance, kitchenette, Living and Dining area, which is all open plan, leading to the outdoor terrace. Accommodation is all on one level, ground floor, with no steps between rooms. The doors to the terrace are sliding doors, so there is a step over between interior and exterior space. There are no special features installed in bathrooms, such as handrails or raised lavatory seats at this time.

OUTSIDE THE CONDOMINIUM Flat or gently sloping pathways give access to resort amenities, such as the clubroom, pool and beach.

Pool There is a short cut to the clubhouse and pool from rear entrance to the unit, which has steps down to a grassy area with stepping stones leading to around the pool, but it would be easy to go round the other way, by the front entrance and around the side of the building. There is a ramp to the clubhouse and a separate gate to the pool itself. See additional photos here.

Beach The path leading to the beach is not completely paved, the last section is a dirt pathway across the lawn leading to a ramp and steps down to the private beach. It's not a very high bluff as some can be in this area, but there are about 20 steps down. There are handrails on both sides of the ramp and steps. Should you need level access to a beach, one of the Town's Public Beaches are close by. You will need a parking permit to park a vehicle there, which we can help you obtain on request.
