Slow Time in Long Island｜Romance of the Sea and Poetry at "Familiar at First Sight"

Pushing open the carved wooden door of "Familiar at First Sight" homestay, the salty sea breeze mingled with the fragrance of lilies of the valley greets you. Nestled by Crescent Bay in Yantai's Long Island, this secluded courtyard weaves the charm of fishing village life with poetic living into a unique island story just for you.

Cobblestone paths wind through white walls draped with roses, while 270° floor-to-ceiling windows frame the shimmering waves of the Yellow Sea. Wake up to seagulls skimming the gold-flecked waters at dawn, and as dusk falls, watch fishing boats trace gentle arcs along the horizon. Each room is named after stars or tides, adorned with handwoven rattan lamps and seashell decor, where island vibes flow effortlessly through every detail.

Here, time softens and stretches. Join the homestay host for a tide-chasing adventure to harvest fresh seafood, or sway lazily on the courtyard swing all afternoon as sunlight filters through wisteria vines, casting dappled shadows across your book. When night arrives, gather on the terrace to savor just-caught steamed abalone, sip homemade mulberry wine under the moonlight, and listen to the host share generations-old fishing tales.

Far from the bustle yet deeply connected to life, "Familiar at First Sight" offers 24-hour butler service and smart home systems. As the sea breeze rustles the sheer curtains and the fireplace glows with warmth, you’ll understand: the ideal life is simply finding a haven that truly knows you, nestled within the most breathtaking scenery.

"Familiar at First Sight" Homestay in Yantai's Long Island awaits to continue your unfinished tale of mountains and sea.
