Hi, So glad you had a good time! I am a bit confused about cats as there haven't been cats in the house in years. Family members do bring their dogs and I will make a point of noting that in the information about the house for future guests. Thank you for your input!

Beautiful Waterfront Property

The house is beautifully situated right on the water, steps from a private beach. The view of the bay is one of the best spots on Shelter Island. The house is well worn and the owners take immaculate care of maintaining an older home. We did have some allergies we believe came from the carpet while staying in the house and the owner quickly came to the rescue with air purifiers which did help. We have stayed in quite a few rental properties over the years and Karla and her husband were one one of the best we've ever rented from.

Thanks, Katie, for the kind words and feedback. It was a pleasure to host you and your family. Since your visit we have worked with the air conditioning installer to fine tune the system to handle the humidity that creeps into an ocean front property. We continue to have the carpets shampoo'ed on a regular basis to control allergens as we know that pollen is a persistent problem on our part of the island. Enjoy your fond memories of Shelter Island!
