Farmhouse Nestled by Meadow, Pool, Near Beaches and Centrally Located!
Shelter Island is a unique place with incredible natural landscapes and gorgeous sunsets!
Once you get off the ferry, drive to the end of a private road to find your oasis on a full acre of land where you will relax and enjoy the sun drenched backyard and pool with friends and family. Our home is designed to encourage you to spend as much time outside and includes a screened in sun porch perfect for reading and entertaining during sunny or rainy summer days. We have an outdoor fire pit for cool summer evenings, patio area with outdoor seating and a solar powered heater for the gunite saline pool! Please note our pool is open between Memorial Day to Labor Day each season.
Inside our home, we offer 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 bedroom downstairs. All linens and towels are provided with the rental. The upstairs has a completely private master bedroom suite which is open, airy and features a king sized bed with spacious walk-in closet and large spa-like bathroom with a walk in shower. Or enjoy a soak in the claw foot tub and feel your troubles melt away. There is an outside deck off the master bedroom where you can enjoy coffee and watch the sunrise. Master bedroom includes a Smart TV with cable. The second bedroom upstairs also shares access to the master deck and includes a queen sized bed. The third bedroom offers two twin beds (perfect for kids or two adults) or the beds may be pushed together to create a larger bed for a couple. We can also provide a crib for this bedroom. There is one full bathroom with shower with tub for these two guest bedrooms. The downstairs bedroom has a queen sized bed and a full bathroom with shower and tub across the hallway. The bathroom is perfectly located by the backdoor and offers a quick place to change in and out of your bathing suit or take a quick shower before or after a swim! Our Smart TVs also access Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, HBO, etc.
We have a fully equipped kitchen to prepare all of the veggies and goodies picked up from the numerous farms and specialty stores Shelter Island and the North Fork offers. There is a gas BBQ grill for outdoor cooking. The living room has a comfy couch, gas fireplace, and Smart TV.
Additional amenities include, oversized garage with an extra refrigerator/freezer and direct access to the backyard, onsite washer and dryer, multiple charging stations for all your devices, puzzles and lots of books for summer reading! We have a covered front porch with a swing, backyard hammock, plenty of beach towels, beach chairs and other equipment to help you enjoy any one of the beautiful beaches Shelter Island offers.
Our home is centrally located and short walking distance to Commander Cody's (great BBQ, seafood and fried chicken!), playground, and Town Center. It's a short drive to Mashomack Preserve where you can enjoy miles and miles of hiking along the coast or do some bird watching. It is a short drive to several restaurants and shops on the Island.
It is easy enough to park at the North Ferry and walk on as a passenger to explore Greenport, NY (great food and shopping). Take your car off-island for some wine tasting at vineyards along the North Fork. A short drive from Greenport takes you to Orient Point and the cross sound ferry to New London, Connecticut. Or drive to the South Ferry from Shelter Island and travel to Sag Harbor, visit the Hamptons or go to "the end" of LI and check out Montauk. Lots of fishing and water sports in the area. From Montauk you can catch a ferry to Block Island. Shelter Island also offers summer camps for children. Other things to do include music at the famous Itzhak Perlman Music Center, or Jazz at Ram's Head Inn or checking out events at Sylvestor Manor.
During peak summer months (July and August) our preferred minimum stay is 14 days. Please note that we require a security deposit at time of booking and will issue a separate rental agreement for use of our property. Please be aware there is a local tax imposed by Suffolk County (as of 2023) on short term rentals. Happy to answer questions anytime!

We had a perfect stay at the Sunshine House. The home and property were clean, organized, and very comfortable, and the owners couldn’t have been more accommodating. I highly recommend this property!

Can't thank you enough for taking such great care of our home during your month long stay. I hope your family enjoyed the charm of Shelter Island and fondly remember the summer they spent on the Island! Have a great rest of the summer!
What a gracious, welcoming home and host! We thoroughly enjoyed such a serene Shelter Island setting with everything we needed to guarantee our privacy, comfort and relaxation. Thank you Aparna for sharing your peaceful property and pool with us!

Thank you! Glad you were able to enjoy the beauty and magic of Shelter Island. We hope you return back soon!
The house was immaculate, spacious, and on beautiful grounds. Unlike some other rentals we’ve been too, even the grill and sheets were high quality and spotless. We had an excellent stay and hope to stay there again.
Our stay was wonderful from start to finish. Communication was clear and helpful from the hosts. If anything the photos didn’t do the property justice. It was a beautifully appointed home on a lovely piece of property. We look forward to coming again!
Wonderfully appointed house will rolling hills and exceptional pool
Beautifully appointed farm house perched at the center of Shelter Island. Centrally located to all the amazing beach experiences Shelter Island has to offer. Bicycle riding was exceptional with tremendous views of the Peconic water ways and the pool was a wonderful place to relax and get away. We totally fell in love with the house.
3 generations of our family had a fantastic week on Aparna's rental. The house was immaculately clean (and I am picky!) and very well appointed (we cooked nearly 3 meals a way and the kitchen had everything we needed). The property was spacious, with plenty of space for the kids to run around, fly kites, play soccer, and even make smores in the fire pit. And it goes without saying the pool was delightful. Aparna was very responsive when we had questions. A perfect end to summer!

We are so happy that your family had a great time and that our house met all expectations! We hope you all come back next year!
I really cannot say enough good things about this home or the owners Aparna and Kevin. The property is gorgeous and so well tended with beautiful flowers and landscaping. The pool is a nice size and heated so it is comfortable even when beach weather is not optimal. The house is great -- they have well stocked the kitchen and each bed is comfortable and everything is in good, clean condition. They also provide everything needed for the beach trips -- chairs, umbrellas, bikes, even a beach cart. Aparna and Kevin were wonderful to communicate with and very organized in sharing information about the island and the house. Plus they were available during the stay when needed. I cannot wait for our next stay!

We are looking forward to seeing you next year! Appreciate the kind words, and it's so lovely that you are making memories for your family on Shelter Island!
We rented this home for my daughters wedding weekend on Shelter Island. The home was a perfect fit for my immediate family. The home was in mint condition & had all the amenities as advertised. The day after the wedding we spent the entire afternoon in the backyard relaxing in lounge chairs & the spacious pool. The backyard is beautifully landscaped & has plenty space to stretch out.
The hosts Kevin & Arparna are very responsive to any questions you may have.
We are talking about returning to Shelter Island & this property in the future.
Great communication with the property owner, responded promptly to any question I had. House was clean and tidy upon arrival. Having the bedroom downstairs was great for my parents. The set up as a whole was nice, it felt like you had privacy and werent on top of eachother. We stayed for a wedding and having a whole house made it much more comfortable. They have plenty of things to keep you busy(games, bikes etc..) and they fire pit was perfect on a fall night. We had brought our own firewood too but didnt need a ton. Would definetly recommend for a family with kids. Master suite was even bigger than the pictures made it seem. Property owner left us alone too - I had a previous experience where the owner was on the premise and made me a little uncomfortable. I would definetly recommend this location and would rent again.

So glad you were all comfortable and enjoyed your stay! We would welcome you back any time!
We were on Shelter Island for our son’s wedding weekend and we’re completely satisfied by the beauty of the home and the hospitality of our hosts! Couldn’t imagine a more enjoyable festive vacation!
This is a gorgeous extremely well-appointed home that comfortably accommodated 2 families of four. The hosts were gracious and communicative and I would definitely rent from them again.
I couldn’t say enough good things. We spent Thanksgiving with family at Aparna’s home. To begin, the communication was impeccable; check-in and checkout information, areas of interest in the general vicinity, available appliances etc. The bottle of wine as a welcome gift was an awesome addition.
We will certainly be back to Shelter Island. I would highly recommend having Aparna as your host.
Not enough words to describe our stay and this lovely home! All the amenities you can possibly need and want. We had a family wedding on the island and it was wonderful spending family time in this beautiful home. Charming, homey, cozy and warm. The pictures don't do it justice. Highly recommended! Kevin & Aparna are wonderful hosts. Thank you!
We had a wonderful time staying here! The property itself is beautiful, was super clean, and had everything that we needed for our stay. Kevin and Aparna were very easy to contact and provided me with additional information about the area that proved extremely valuable. We can't say enough about our long weekend in Shelter Island and can't wait to return!
I was looking for a special location to celebrate one daughter's college graduation and another's 25th birthday and I am so happy I discovered Shelter Island and "Sunshine House." We all fell in love with the island, and the lovely home. We enjoyed chocolate croissants every morning from the Marie Eiffel bakery, having the graduation dinner at the delicious Vine Street Cafe and a birthday dinner-seafood-extravaganza with abundant food supplies from the Shelter Island Seafood Market. Sunshine House was the perfect location, Aparna a gracious hostess, and we can't wait to take the 2 ferries and come back!
