It all started with a road trip
Since 1957
Silver Sands has been a beachfront home on the North Fork for generations of visitors. To build that home, its founders, Florence and Thomas Jurzenia, embarked on a cross-country trip in pursuit of inspiration. When they returned, they drew upon all they had learned to create a unique destination that was both casually stylish and seriously fun. A place where carefully planned design set the stage for carefree leisure.
The Jurzenias envisioned a retreat where human craftsmanship mirrored nature’s beauty, inviting guests to savor North Fork’s landscapes from artistically adorned spaces designed by W. & J. Sloane Fifth Avenue. A living testament to their journey and creativity, Silver Sands remains an eternal sanctuary, embodying art, comfort, and the North Fork’s allure.
Carrying forth a 66-year legacy, Silver Sands celebrates a vibrant rejuvenation, shepherded by lifelong friends Alexander Perros and Ryan Hardy. Inspired by its origins, the transformation honors the 1950’s design while revitalizing it for today’s community.
Alex and Ryan’s vision is dedicated to the preservation of Silver Sands’ cherished spirit, crafting a reimagined gem for the North Fork. Join us in this journey; where past and present harmonize, creating a new chapter infused with friendship, heritage, and splendor.
