This house has everything you need for a great vacation - very comfortable and inviting. The two bathrooms were recently renovated. The location is excellent for heading to Hay Beach in particular or anywhere else on the Island. We also enjoyed walking and hiking from the house, without needing to get in the car, and the neighborhood has beautiful natural areas. We highly recommend this home!
Really lovely stay. Bathrooms and bedrooms newly renovated. Andrew was really helpful with the info for the house and local amenities. Great wifi. Great stay.
My family and I stayed for three weeks in this fabulous home. Do not hesitate to book this property. The lawn is beautiful, the beds are comfortable and the amenities are perfect. Thank you for a great stay!!
Great property and location for a long weekend celebrating a few 50th birthdays. Relaxing and quite, and the fireplace was great! Close to things to do on the island, as well as the wineries on the North Fork. Communication was easy and check-in simple!
Andrew’s home was the perfect destination for a weekend getaway. He sent me several helpful suggestions and recommendations of things to do around the island. We all fell in love with Shelter Island and look forward to returning again soon!
We rented Andrew's house for an extended stay. Andrew was an excellent communicator and everything is as described and shown in pictures.

Very cute, cozy home located in a quiet spot.
The property was clean and cozy. The kitchen was nicely stocked and appointed. The home was located on a large lot and was very quiet and the owner did a very nice job of checking in on us without intruding. I would stay again for sure!

Sunshine, seclusion and serenity!
Located across from a natural preserve and walking distance from Dering Harbor, this clean, cozy, three bedroom home complete with fireplace, state of the art kitchen and bathroom has a welcoming , spacious and comforting feel to enhance anytime spent on the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it highly.
The house was perfect for our 2 week stay for our small family. The great room is big and the lawn is huge, great for our 2 year old running around. The owner was very responsive from pre-check in to check out. Will be back for sure.
We really enjoyed our stay in this sweet home. Lovely renovated bathrooms and bedrooms, a great fireplace, and a spacious great room made this a very comfortable spot for a quiet family vacation between Christmas and New Year. We loved exploring Shelter Island, Montauk, Sag Harbor, and other area spots. If you are looking for a peaceful spot, this is it - especially in the winter!
Great house with beautiful new bedrooms and bathrooms. Great property. The host was extremely gracious and available. Use of the bikes was a great plus!
This property is a great choice for family of five who need more space than we would get in a hotel, and a perfect location for events on Shelter Island.

Awesome Stay
We had a great experience at this home and really enjoyed the warmer weather. The balcony facing the road is really nice to relax and enjoy looking at all the different birds! Owner is responsive and helpful.
This house has everything you need! 3 bedrooms downstairs, 2 bath, kitchen and a super cozy living room / common space. The main attraction is the spacious front yard! We really enjoyed taking the bikes out and how close this property is to town (a 5 minute drive). Highly recommend!
This house was perfect for my husband and I and our two pups. The house was clean and just as pictured. We really enjoyed taking walks through the many trails that were very close by. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for peace and relaxation while enjoying beautiful scenery of shelter island.

Wonderful stay!
Perfect home for peaceful shelter island stay. Great location, we rode bikes to ice cream shops, restaurants and Crescent Beach. Big front yard for our dog and 8 year old, and nice area for BBQs. Owner was very responsive to our needs and very helpful. Home was very clean. We would love to stay again.
We had a great experience at this property. Andrew was great and easy to communicate with. He gave clear instructions, good recommendations, and was easy to get in touch with. Good location and perfect for a long weekend getaway.
