We could not have been happier. This is not a 'rental' home - it is clear that this is a real home with all of the comforts of one. Kate was an incredibly gracious host and always willing to help with any small thing that came up.The property is magnificent, and a great place to spend time with your family with plenty of space and sleeping options. The yards are also beautiful. The home is close to almost everything on Shelter Island.
My family (including my husband, my 2 kids, and myself), along with my mother, sister, and her 3 kids and husband chose this property for our summer vacation. The house and property were perfect for us! The accommodations were spacious and each family had its own space. Kate and her husband were on the property during our stay but super respectful of our space. Kate was always reachable through text and accommodating. If/when we saw her and/or her husband in person they were so approachable and nice to speak to. My husband and I have loved Shelter Island for years and we are so glad we got to spend such a wonderful time at Kate and Peter’s property. Oh! By the way, the pool was a huge win with the kids!!!!!!! We will all have wonderful memories from our stay.
This house is a true Gem! The pictures don't do it justice in terms of the spaciousness, quality of furniture and linens, and the incredible kitchen. Kate couldn't have been more helpful throughout our stay as well. If you want to relax in a perfect environment on Shelter, this is your spot. I didn't even mention the amazing dock that provided hours of fun and relaxation!
Such a lovely house and property! The house was lovely and open with lots of bedrooms and a big kitchen for family dinners and the pool was glorious. There was a big yard for my three year old son and a hammock for me to relax in after chasing him around all day. And the dock was magnificent for morning coffee, afternoon drinks and a launching pad for paddleboarding adventures.
This is An incredibly beautiful and well Maintained home and property. Endless amenities and we found ourselves wanting or looking for nothing. We appreciated indoor And outdoor living spaces and the lovely dock on the gorgeous bay. The Humphreys were so easy to work with and readily available if needed with answers to our questions. This has become our favorite spot of many on Shelter Island and we look forward to returning!
The property is great. Lots of space inside, great kitchen, nice outdoor deck for dining and the pool area is perfect.
Our family consisting of my wife and I , our three daughters and their husbands and two grandchildren greatly enjoyed our stay at Kate's beautiful home in Shelter Island. From the bikes to the pool to the private dock and fully equipped gourmet kitchen and gas grill we had all our needs met. I highly recommend a stay at Kate's .
We had a wonderful long weekend at this home! The house was clean, spacious, well-appointed, and comfortable. The pool is gorgeous and the home is on a quiet street just a few minutes walk away from the water. Our group of six adults and two children had plenty of space, and the fenced pool and backyard put us at ease with our young children around. The kitchen is huge and perfect for large groups. The owner is friendly and responsive. I would recommend this home without hesitation -- we home to visit again soon!
This location on Shelter Island is fabulous! My family of (6) adults and (3) children under the age of (5) years old had a great time. I’ve already referred this home to two sets of friends. Whether you live in the NYC area or not getting to Shelter Island is easy by plane or a lovely drive. Taking a quick (15) minute ferry ride by car gets you to a tranquil island that has everything you need. A small quaint town, biking, hiking, boating, swimming, kayaking and relaxing. This home's design and amenities never quit. If you are a chef/cook or hate cooking this home delivers. It is big enough for large family gatherings around a huge wood burning fireplace or outside around the pool. Eating inside or out is easy breezy. If it rains, no worries lots of inside activities i.e. reading, games, puzzles, baking or just watching TV or listening to music as there is a spot for everyone. Getting out to a beach or the quick ride on the ferry to the town of Greenport for shopping, meandering and yummy restaurants was a delight. A perfect home for a couple, girls weekend, bridle gathering, family vacation and much much more. Leave your worries at home and just book it!!! The owners deliver impeccable assistance, support and guidance to make your visit worth every penny!! We all loved every minute of our Mother's Day week away.
Kate was warm, friendly, and helpful, and even left a thoughtful welcome basket on the kitchen counter for us! Her home is beautiful and immaculate, and the lay out was perfect for our family. The kitchen is large and fully equipped, and open to the family room- a great gathering spot for us. Memorial day weekend weather was a bit chilly and rainy for swimming in the gorgeous pool, but we did relax around it, catching up, dozing and reading. I hope to be back next year! Joan Ankner
