Husband and I stayed for ten days in this incredibly well equipped home. Kitchen has everything you can think of to cook and enjoys meals at home. That said, this home is located in the center of local restaurants and beaches. We spent our days riding bikes and relaxing on beaches. The large screen TV made watching the US Open even better. We’ve been coming to the Island for the last seven years and this trip confirmed why. Highly recommend!

Great location, well equipped clean home
This property was perfect for our family trip to shelter island! The house is centrally located, about a mile down the road from the beach. It is very close to the grocery store on island and some great restaurants. I would highly recommend it for a family or small group looking for a clean, well kept vacation house!

We had a lovely relaxing stay in this cute cottage. You have everything you need to make your stay comfortable, central air, plenty of cooking supplies, great WiFi, Netflix and a beautiful new bathroom to enjoy!
It is a wonderful location, so close to restaurants and IGA and convenient to both ferry’s.
House instructions were very clear and the host helped us get a beach parking permit to make the stay on Shelter Island so easy with our new 2 month old baby.
Hoping to be back later in the year or in 2021!!!

Perfection!
Everything about Laura's property was perfect! The property is fully equipped with everything you could want: complete kitchen, beach accessories (chairs, umbrellas, noodles), backyard furniture, central AC, etc. The location is unbeatable, a 1 min drive to one of the nicest beaches and a central part of town with shops and cafes. Laura was so friendly and always available, which I really appreciated. Looking forward to returning!

Very cute property with Huge yard!
As a HomeAway owner for 10 years of multiple properties and extensive homeaway traveler I know what it takes to run a 5 star property. This home really deserves that rating.
Starting with communication with the owner. She was very accessible and responded to all msgs within a few minutes. Vary rare to get that quick response. Usually hours.
The kitchen is one of the best stocked kitchens I have ever seen in a rental. Kitchenaide mixer. The same professional juicer I own. More mixing bowls then You would need for a group of 15. Convection oven, wusthof knives and alclad pans. All very high end.
The bedrooms are very comfortable with quality linens and mattresses. Wonderful furniture decorates the rooms.
Loved the bathroom! Looks like it belongs in a 5 star hotel.
The yard is huge and you can sit on the front porch and watch the deer graze on the yard in the morning or late evening or bbq in the back.
The ONLY drawback about the house is the section of tv channels. Very basic cable with no national news. That’s the only thing I would change with this home.
Thank you for a wonderful stay Laura! We will be back!

Great stay on Shelter Island
Just returned from 2 weeks on Shelter Island in Laura's home. Her house had plenty of space for my family of 4 and we rented the back cottage for one week and had two family members join us. My daughter loved the huge backyard, especially the tree swing. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and huge tv in the living room was a lot of fun. Laura was a teriffic host and very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this property.

Perfect Shelter Island home base for a family!
Stayed for a week and loved this home. Beautifully kept, everything you need inside and out (including a huge yard that our kids loved running around in), and just a short drive from all the beaches, restaurants and attractions that Shelter Island has to offer. Laura was very welcoming when we got there and responded within moments anytime I reached out with a question throughout the week. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again when we visit next time.

Exceptional home wiith a lot of character on lovely island
This home on shelter island is a beautiful oasis, with plenty of room to move around. Lovely green space outside and the house sits back from the road. This home has spacious bedrooms with very nice beds. When I say this house has everything you need, it truly does,and the owner has ensured that the natural charm of this shelter island home has been preserved, while ensuring it is very updated inside. The heated floors in the bathroom, and the wood burning fireplace was exceptional, right along with the soaking tub and rain shower. This is a perfect home for a group or a family, with plenty of board games and books awaiting you. Race to the Ferry to enjoy this lovely home and this lovely Island. This house sits right between the south and north ferry, and you can walk to the grocery store on the island. I am already making plans to return again .

A darling perfect place to stay
We held a three day retreat at the Ram’s Head Inn for families coping with cancer and some of our counselors needed an additional place to stay. This was perfect! The place is very spacious and the owner created a fun, relaxing and homey environment. The grounds are calming and it feels secluded. We are so grateful to have had a lovely place to stay and recharge.

A Good Value
For three bedrooms, this house is a good value. Once the cottage in the back is renovated, this would be a good property for a couple of familiies, or for familiies with teenagers looking for reasonable lodging within quick driving distance of the water and ferries to the north or south forks of Long Island. The ferry fees are also reasonable and the schedule is convenient, but there are also markets and restaurants within close driving distance on the island.
I have been using Homeaway since its start, and am sorry for the owners that the fees are now so high, but this is not the owner's fault. At least with this property, the deposit was reasonable.

Weekend on Sbelter Island
House was just as pictured. Owners were very approachable and attentive. Small issue was addressed immediately while we were out. A very reasonable alternative to pricey hotels. Take a soak in the tub, it's wonderful.

Comfortable house in a convenient location
Spacious comfortable house with all the mod cons and a big yard. The rooms were clean and private and the beds were great for sleeping. We very much enjoyed sipping our coffee in the mornings on the front porch and grilling in the back yard for dinner. And the big screen in the living room made movie time a blast. The central location made it easy to get around the Island by car or bike or even on foot. We love Shelter and go every year. This was one of our best houses. The only minor issue was that one of the bikes has a flat. But overall the house offered a wonderful place to stay at good value.

A lovely place to stay!
The location, layout and amenities of this house are excellent. It has all of the comforts of home! The back and front yards are large, with plenty of space for kids to play.The property is clean and well-maintained inside and out. The kitchen is very well-equipped and well supplied. Cooking was a pleasure! There is a supermarket, a fish store, a fresh produce stand and a restaurant within walking distance. The area is quiet and peaceful but there's plenty to do nearby. The owner was accessible and very responsive. This is a great place to stay!
