Charming, Renovated Island Cottage - Shelter Island License #: 012-2017

This was a good entry to our first ever stay on Shelter Island.

The host Kirsten was so easy to communicate with and she made my first VRBO rental experience fantastic. I spent my summers on Shelter Island as a kid and staying at her cottage brought back some great childhood memories. Already planning a trip with my adult children for next summer.

It is a great central location on the island. Minutes from both ferries and the all-important IGA. Second time to stay at this property and we love it.

Loved the house. Thank you!

I enjoyed my 8 day stay.

From the moment we arrived we felt right at home. The central location allowed us to get around without a car. There are beaches, restaurants, and Farm stands, and Sylvester manor are all short bikes away. Kristen was a wonderful host, providing everything we needed for an extended working vacation. The WiFi accommodated three people online, the space layout provided both privacy and areas to relax together, and the outdoor shower was such a treat. All in all we loved our time at this home and are looking forward to returning.

The house is located just off of 114, the main road from north to south across the island and which takes you to the north and south ferries. It is also just a few minutes from the Mashomack Preserve, which is a great place for walking/hiking. We definitely would stay at this house again.

This past summer, we stayed on Shelter Island for a month and were incredibly excited for a return over a long weekend. Kirsten's cottage was just perfect. It was cute, comfortable, and well stocked for our family. With restaurants right nearby (we heartily recommend lobster takeout from Commander Cody's, less than a half mile away), and just about everything on the island a short drive away, we had everything we needed. We hope to return sometime soon.

Kirsten was very responsive and the place is really nice. I definitely recommend it!

Just spent a great week at Kirsten’s Cottage and it was the ideal base for a relaxing week on Shelter Island. The cottage was exactly as described. A beachy, cozy cottage - compact, but with plenty of space for four adults. The futon was comfortable, as were the two bedrooms. Each room is decorated with furniture that adds to the cottage’s welcoming atmosphere. The bonus beach towels, umbrella, and chairs were a thoughtful touch. And, a trip to the beach, ice cream shop, or local restaurant, was barely 5 minutes away. Check in and out was a breeze. Off street parking was convenient. We really enjoyed our time at the cottage!
