We visited this hotel in July 2020, so just as phase 3 reopening started during the COVID 19 pandemic. We stayed during the week so the rates were slightly lower than during the weekend but it ended up being over $900 for two nights in a room with 2 queen beds. We thought this was expensive given that the amenities of the hotel were almost inexistant due to COVID-19 safety measures. Pros and cons below. Pros - Shelter Island is beautiful and it is a very relaxing getaway from the city. The hotel is right by the beach (7 minutes walk), it has a pretty yard and a cute pool. The hotel is in a typical house for the area and it is very pretty from the outside. The room was clean and the front desk people were kind. Cons - The hotel restaurant is closed (it is not even open for outdoor dining) so this means that no meals are available at the hotel. The welcome email advertised that the bar would be open from afternoon to evening but that was completely unclear to us (ie, the bar seemed closed). The hotel shut down its bike rental service and there is no taxi on the island at this time so unless you come with a car, movement is very limited. The hotel offers a complimentary « grab and go » breakfast which consists of a box of mini pastries that are not that great and coffee in paper cups. Finally, the hotel room was clean but not up to date - paint was chipped on certain walls, the refrigerator made noise, the shower curtain hangers were falling off and a smoke detector was missing on the ceiling. Conclusion - We understand there is a pandemic and were expecting fewer amenities but we were expecting great service to make up for it and a spotless room, especially given the price tag of $400+/night. From our perspective, breakfast should be properly served outdoors and a bartender should be available to show that the bar is open. Ideally, the bike rental should also be made available. All in all, so glad we got away from the city in such a restful place but the hotel needs to do a bit more to justify the high price. …

A place where you can really get away from it all. Small inn on a gorgeous little island. Close to the beach and lots of restaurants to choose from in the area. The rooms are quaint and comfortable. Bathrooms nice and spacious and the pool area is a great gathering place. Fresh pastries and coffee in the morning and will go back again soon! Thanks

We had relaxing and enjoyable time. We stayed the first night of re-opening. I arrived a tad early and the cleaning people were cleaning the room I could see they were wearing masks additionally they did not rush out due to my early arrival I very much appreciated the measures they made to provide a clean sanitary room. And the hotel staff kindly enforced guests to were masks inside public spaces. I very much appreciate the measures taken to make me feel safe. The room was comfortable and we loved the pool! It was perfect relaxing shelter island experience!

As we re-entered life with lightened COVID19 restrictions, my girlfriends and I were in dire need of a change of scenery. So we made a last minute reservation with our 8 and 16 year old daughters to visit the Shelter Island House. What a Special Place!! Still very much in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, we were a bit nervous at first but once we arrived, we quickly got over it. It was SO clean and tranquil. The staff was extremely welcoming and generous from arrival to departure. They could not do enough, from giving us extra fresh towels by the pool before we even knew we needed them to complimentary beverages. They also had this fabulous food truck with the most amazing The grounds are stunning and the pool was delightful. After enjoying their lovely breakfast spread, we would walk to the beach everyday. If we were not lounging by their beautiful pool or playing at their petanque courts, we took a quick ride to both Greenport and Sag Harbor. We absolutely love it here and can not wait to go back again this summer!!…
