The Chequit

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff , Unique property."

Year round family home on Shelter Island with indoor heated pool and dock.

10/10 Excellent

"The outdoor area is a real plus, unfortunately we were there during a Noreaster so we didn't get to use it but had no flooding issues as it sits higher than some surrounding houses. The house is very well stocked and plenty of room for cars. The 5th bedroom is up a steep ladder but there was a daybed that we used in place of that 5th bedroom. Host was very accommodating to our requests."

Spacious 4-bedroom house in charming Shelter Island with AC

8/10 Good

"Great but would benefit from actual window treatment as there are none for privacy in bathroom and light in bedrooms. The lighting fixtures are also a bit scarce so at night it feels like being in a hospital with all the built-in ceiling lights… great place otherwise!"

"The staff were all great, the food from food truck was delicious, check in was quick!"

House on Chase Creek

Had everything you need. Easy communication with owner. Would rent it again and enjoy the offerings of the Island when better weather."
