My family had a lovely stay at Paul’s house. The house has everything that is needed for a family stay. We enjoy cooking and there were many pots and pans. Our children enjoyed the pool which is very large. There are many nice family friendly beaches within a 5-10 min ride. Paul was a river full host, very responsive and helpful. We look forward to staying again next summer.

We had SUCH a lovely time at this pretty home in a beautiful place. The kids had a blast in the pool, and we walked down to watch the sunset on the beach many evenings. Great set-up for a family - comfy beds, super-functional kitchen, cozy family room for games and movies. Paul and his house manager were really responsive and thoughtful (e.g., helping us get ready for a storm that blew through the island). Highly, highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful time staying here! The house is very clean and the decor is comforting. The property owner does a great job keeping you informed and willing to answer any questions. While we were there in early Spring, we look forward to returning in the Summer to get another experience on the island, including use of the pool and the beautiful local beaches!!

We had a great time at Shelter island with two kids. The house is clean and has everything we need for family time! Host is easy to access for questions or suggestions.

We easily registered for the property and the owner responded quickly and communicated necessary information clearly including answering our questions.

We had a great time - everything was perfect for us. Paul was really helpful and his home is very clean, beautifully decorated and updated. We will definitely be back!

We stayed at Paul's place for 9 days with my husband, 6-year old son and my in-laws and had a wonderful time. I would absolutely recommend this home and Shelter Island. The house and property exceeded our expectations from the listing and pictures. The pool was gorgeous - lots of direct sun, surrounded by tall trees, great deck with loungers and a table with an umbrella and some floats and noodles and such. We were basically in the pool most of the day every day. The backyard also features a hammock and a swingset, which was a really nice surprise for my son. The house itself is really beautifully decorated but not at all fussy. It felt very comfortable and truly like a home away from home with everything we needed. The master bedroom and kids rooms were great. The additional room is small with a full-size bed, not a queen. There were two TVs (not in the bedrooms) one internet-enabled with all the streaming services, which was great. And Shelter Island is so beautiful. You're a short drive from water in just about any direction so it's very pretty to drive around the island. We'd recommend Isola, Stars Cafe, Ram's Head Inn, The Islander, and Salt for food (we did take out the whole time). Sunset beach and Wade's beach were both lovely - Sunset beach is a great place to bring an evening meal and, you guessed it, watch the sunset. Also, Paul was a great host. He talked me through some details about the house over the phone before we arrived and was very accessible via text for quick questions we had. He was also flexible on our check in and check out times, which we really appreciated. We would love to come back again. Would definitely recommend!

The house is really sweet, with thoughtful beach decor. We really enjoyed the deck and pool, with the backdrop of a large country backyard. The neighborhood is very quiet, and a short walk to Bootleggers beach, for great sunsets. The hosts are the nicest people. Great communication and super kind and responsive. This was greatly appreciated in the context of arriving as first-timers on the island, looking for a little reprieve from stressful months of covid lockdown. Our stay on Shelter was exactly what we needed. Many thanks
