Both first and second floor have two spacious bedrooms, full kitchen, full bath, and family/dining room. Two first floor porches and a second floor deck offer gorgeous harbor views.

Outdoor patio furniture on the second and first floor porch allow for scenic spots to enjoy your morning cup of coffee or a nice family meal. Open lawn is ideal for games and outdoor barbecues, make use of the charcoal grill (we require grills to be used only on the grass, not on any of the decks). The tranquil private beach is perfect for swimming, kayaking, fishing, sunbathing and any beach activity you prefer. If you have a boat, make use of one of the several boat launches near by and enjoy a day on the water. (Please note renters are not to make use of any of the owner's boats on the property or to move them from their locations. Items locked in the shed are for owner's use only.)

Beautiful Waterfront Property
The house is beautifully situated right on the water, steps from a private beach. The view of the bay is one of the best spots on Shelter Island. The house is well worn and the owners take immaculate care of maintaining an older home. We did have some allergies we believe came from the carpet while staying in the house and the owner quickly came to the rescue with air purifiers which did help. We have stayed in quite a few rental properties over the years and Karla and her husband were one one of the best we've ever rented from.

About the host

Hosted by Karla Doremus-Tranfield

Host profile image
Our grandfather bought this place after renting for several years on the island as a location for extended family to come together. Several generations have experienced their first swim, first steps, first fish caught...the list goes on! No matter where we are in the world and in our lives, this home has been our family's special gathering place.

Why they chose this property

We have been told that this house has one of the best views on the island. Who are we to disagree? :-)

What makes this property unique

Spend time reading on your own beach. Swim in warm, inviting waters that are generally calm and easy to get in and out of.

You are close to fun night life, but when you are back at the house, you can hear the silence and the stars are truly amazing on those gorgeous cloudless nights.
