This is a beautiful place with spaces to gather for good conversations or to work or read undisturbed. The kitchen is well designed and equipped; it has a great view of the pool and pergola. The back yard is a perfect place for croquet or other games. The host welcomed us with a delightful tour. The artwork and decor are well done. We were pleased by all aspects of our stay.

The house is very well appointed and is much more beautiful than the photos. Steve was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We look forward to returning.

The house is perfect- tasteful design and original art on the walls. Steve is super helpful . The heated pool is well maintained. For us all went well- we loved our visit.

Steve was a wonderful and responsive host and we had the best time! The house was perfect and had everything we needed and we hope to return again soon.

We had a fantastic time at this beautiful shelter island house. The property was amazing with a beautiful pool and very large backyard. The house was decorated perfectly and very clean. A very comfortable and cozy setup for sure. The location was perfect, centrally located so easy access to all parts of the island via bike or car. We can’t wait to go back!

Architect did a superb job renovating and decorating this country home. The owner was always available; pre-check in, at check in, during visit, and after stay. We were impressed with all the supplies available. The house was clean and it was a delight to have a heated pool with complete privacy.

A beautiful home located centrally in Shelter Island. Pool deck area is wonderful. House has modern and tasteful esthetic.

To begin with Steve was a very available owner by phone and very responsive. He and his wife made this rental about outdoor living. Beautiful pool area, patio, direct gas BBQ. Sliding doors from all bedroom areas, ample bathrooms. House was presented clean, indoor and outdoor pool area SONOS System was great. Minor negatives were trash had to be brought to Refuge center up the block, the local IGA was expensive ( we brought as much provisions as possible for our stay), beach passes at town hall needed and were $25/ day or 125 for 10 days. Restaurants were fine but expensive and a must need reservation is required. Pleasant island people, quiet. $15 plus $1/person ferry to either Greenport or Shelter Island very efficient. Problem with washer was inconvenient but Steve tried his best for service to the extent that he arranged for a laundry service to pick up and deliver our load of towels. Be warned any service from off the island is difficult to arrange in a timely manner. These were observations from our stay and by no means a negative write up after all we rented with a relaxing island vibe in mind. All in all a relaxing experience.

Steve was an amazing host. The communication before, during, and after our stay was above and beyond. There was not a moment where we felt lost or not able to get a hold of Steve. The property itself was amazing! My family and I had such a relaxing and enjoyable time using the pool and spending time in the backyard. The rooms and house itself are newly designed and in perfect condition. Every amenity you need was at your disposal. From kitchenware, to pool towels, to a fully stocked spice cabinet. We will 100% come back to this property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 42 N. Menantic. Being our first time on Shelter Island Steve was very helpful in recommending all the stores, restaurants and activities the island has to offer. The house is pristine, the heated pool is delightful and surrounded by a luscious manicured green lawn. We slept well and enjoyed the opportunity to cook in the spacious, well equipped, kitchen. Steve alerted us to when the pool man and landscapers would come by, and also recommended a housekeeper who we hired for the middle of our stay. We recommend the house and look forward to our return. Thank you Steve!

The house was wonderful and we really enjoyed staying in and exploring the island!!

We really enjoyed our stay and every step of the process was smooth. Shout-out to our host for a seamless and relaxing experience!

From booking to check in and all the way through our stay it was a real pleasure staying at Steve’s Shelter Island place. Steve was very attentive and helpful. The house is a real gem, clean, modern and easy to enjoy ... an oasis for relaxing for the whole family. We enjoyed the pool as much as the short rides to Shelter Island beaches and everything the island has to offer. This is a place to come back to! Definitely recommend.

Our group of 5 friends had a fabulous time at Steve's house. It was super clean and had all of the items we needed. The kitchen was great and came with lots of supplies. The beautiful deck, heated pool and and grill were a major plus. Steve was very helpful leading up to the trip and always quickly answered our questions about the house and things to do in the area. That was incredibly helpful in planning. I can’t recommend highly enough and hope I get to go back when it’s warm to take advantage of the beautiful pool!

We spent an amazing week in August at this great rental. Communication with the owner was thorough and prompt both prior to visiting and during our stay. He is incredibly kind and works hard to ensure you have a great stay. The house itself was perfect for our family of four and small dog. The pool and deck area is primarily what we will be back for hopefully soon, as it was a mini oasis for our family. The pool has an electronic cover, which put us at ease with little kids. The heater and salt water features had us never leaving the pool area all day. When we did venture out, the beach was a mile away as were any stores and restaurants. We did grill a ton too, so the feature of it being connected to the house gas line was so helpful. The indoor and outdoor Sonos speakers were an awesome feature too. The location and house is incredible and it was just what we needed to safely get away from our daily grind. We will hopefully be back again soon and highly recommend this rental!
