NEW RENTAL: MAGICAL SHELTER ISLAND RETREAT

Take the singular Shelter Island drive over Ram Island’s renowned causeways to this meticulously renovated and expanded 1933 charming, waterview home of stone and cedar on the most sought after Big Ram Island block. 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and large living spaces flow seamlessly with the outdoors, thanks to the expansive covered porches off the living room and large patio connecting the pool and hot tub with the kitchen and family room. Every detail was considered in the home in terms of beauty, function and experience. It’s owner, a veteran in the home decor industry, designed all fabrics and wallpapers and spec’ed every detail. The house sits on 1.4 acres of land, with a large lawn, wraparound porches to take in the views and space for everyone to enjoy, lounge, play or explore.

Bask in the sparkling sunshine on Coecles Harbor, take in the sunset from the two hanging porch-beds, or waterview-dine on the covered veranda. Swim in the heated pool, relax in the grotto-like hot tub or infrared sauna, or paddleboard, sail, fish or kayak just out your front door off the small beach that’s shared by the neighbors. Paddleboards stay parked here, and morning dips are mandatory in this idyllic spot. Off the beach, 37 Tuthill has a boat mooring, useable by renters. A short walk to the end of Tuthill Drive brings you to Reel Point, a sand peninsula lined with osprey nest platforms and blankets of seashells.

Coecles Harbor is a protected deep-water harbor that faces Mashomack Preserve, with over 2000 acres of interlacing tidal creeks, woodlands and freshwater marshes, easily accessible by paddleboard off our beach. The harbor is prized by sailors, swimmers and fishermen for its pristine, protected waters. The island enjoys a similar sense of peace and tranquility.

Perfect for everything from a relaxing couples getaway to a fun-filled family or friends gathering, this is fantastically special home designed for making cherished memories, in a magical corner of the world.
