About the host
Hosted by Yvonne V. Wibbe
Calling Shelter Island home is a privilege . For me .. there is no place like it .
After living in Europe and many other beautiful places in the US it always feels like coming home when driving off the ferry .
It makes me happy to share this place with people who understand how special it feels to step back in time where a slower and more peaceful way of life still exists.
I spent most of my time with my pets and we welcome guests with well behaved pets as they are a part of the family . We enjoy cooking , gardening and spending time at the private beach club for a morning swim or just watching the sunset .
All of course , before having a cup of coffee on the glorious veranda at Eden Roc watching the sailboats passing by or watching dogs play in the park .
