Shelter Island Sanctuary
Shelter Island Retreat with Private Pool, Stunning Water Views & Resort-Style Outdoor Living
5BR/4.5BA: Private oasis w/ stunning water views, pool, outdoor kitchen, dining and sofas, and chic interiors
Tucked away in one of Shelter Island’s most coveted enclaves, this chic five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom retreat is a refined take on coastal luxury. Perfect for families or groups, this elevated waterfront home blends modern sophistication with laid-back island charm, offering the ultimate setting to unwind and reconnect.
The experience begins the moment you arrive—especially easy with ample parking and less than a five-minute taxi ride from the seaplane dock. Elevated above the treetops, the private resort-style backyard overlooks Shelter Island Sound and features a sparkling pool, expansive sundeck, plush lounge areas, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Enjoy morning coffee on the shaded deck, long lunches alfresco, or sunset cocktails with sweeping water views. A short, scenic walk takes you to the iconic Sunset Beach Club for beachfront dining and golden hour views.
Inside, the open-concept layout is designed for both entertaining and everyday ease. Vaulted ceilings and walls of glass flood the space with natural light and frame stunning water views. The modern kitchen is a chef’s dream, complete with premium appliances and a central island perfect for casual meals. A spacious dining area seats eight, and the living room—with double-height ceilings and a statement fireplace—invites conversation and relaxation.
Five well-appointed bedrooms offer private sanctuaries for every guest. The main-level guest room has two double beds, an ensuite bath, and a private balcony. The upstairs primary suite features a king bed, spa-like bathroom, and balcony with treetop views. Additional guest rooms include a queen with its own balcony, a king suite, and a twin room—both on the lower level with ensuite baths. A powder room, gym with strength-training equipment, dedicated work-from-home space, Sonos system, fast WiFi, smart TVs, washer/dryer, and central AC ensure every convenience is at your fingertips.
Despite its tucked-away feel, the home is just minutes from Shelter Island’s best beaches, cafés, art galleries, and restaurants. Explore scenic bike trails, nearby preserves, or paddle along the coast. From farmers’ markets to sunset seafood dinners, this is island living at its finest.
Whether you're planning a summer escape, friends’ getaway, or family vacation, this exceptional home delivers comfort, style, and the perfect Shelter Island experience.
