About this property

Peaceful and Private Shelter Island Getaway

Enjoy a charming 3 bedroom/2 bath with central AC on an expansive shy acre corner plot located directly across from Sylvester Manor Farm. The land across the street is a preserve and the adjacent lot is undeveloped which allows for plenty of relaxation and privacy. An 800 sqft (open plan) great room with two balconies and large windows is perfect for entertaining or lounging with a good book. The rear balcony descends to a gravel patio area with a fire pit, dining area and charcoal BBQ grill. Owners are very reasonable, responsive, and pet friendly!

About the Area: Shelter Island is unique to Long Island's east end because it's only accessible by ferry. Upon arriving in S.I., you truly feel like you are in a different world with vacation mode fully setting in. You may be happy to hear that the island has been dubbed the "un Hamptons" by some because of its low key, relaxed and quiet atmosphere. Shelter Island is home to the 2,100 acre Mashomack Preserve which contains about 10 miles of coastline and represents 1/3 of the island. There you find breathtaking views of fields, creeks, and shoreline. If you are in the mood for an adventure, hop on the north ferry towards Greenport or the south ferry towards Sag Harbor and The Hamptons.

Perfect winter getaway
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!

Right Size for Wedding Weekend
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.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Manager

Host profile image
The home is owned by myself and my brother. We have put some hard work and thought into making it a great place to hang out for family, friends and renters. We enjoy sharing what Shelter Island has to offer.

Why they chose this property

What I like about the house is that it is set back from the road. The front lawn has a very large feel. In addition, the layout of the second floor of the house is great for hanging out.

What makes this property unique

The location to the Sylvester Manor Preserve is really nice. It definitely allows for more privacy plus peace and quiet.
