Though we've lived in Manhattan for many years, my husband and I had never been to Shelter Island. After staying here for a week, we fell in love not only with the island, but also this house. Open, chic, and immaculate are a few words I would use to describe this special place. We adored the beautiful midcentury furnishings, the close (walkable) proximity to the beach, the cross breeze that came through the sliding doors on each side of the house and the location that was private yet close to both ferries and the best restaurants on the island. The owners have truly thought of everything. From bikes, to hotel-style bathroom amenities (fresh shampoos, soaps) beach gear (towels, umbrellas, chairs, coolers) to the stocked, perfectly organized kitchen with every appliance or tool you could ever need. Jason is as gracious as they come. He genuinely wants you to feel the love for Shelter Island. His recommendations for activities and restaurants are spot on. We created such special memories at this house and plan to rent it year after year.
