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.

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.

Hi, So glad you had a good time! I am a bit confused about cats as there haven't been cats in the house in years. Family members do bring their dogs and I will make a point of noting that in the information about the house for future guests. Thank you for your input!

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.

Thanks, Katie, for the kind words and feedback. It was a pleasure to host you and your family. Since your visit we have worked with the air conditioning installer to fine tune the system to handle the humidity that creeps into an ocean front property. We continue to have the carpets shampoo'ed on a regular basis to control allergens as we know that pollen is a persistent problem on our part of the island. Enjoy your fond memories of Shelter Island!

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.
