We stayed at Paul's place for 9 days with my husband, 6-year old son and my in-laws and had a wonderful time. I would absolutely recommend this home and Shelter Island. The house and property exceeded our expectations from the listing and pictures. The pool was gorgeous - lots of direct sun, surrounded by tall trees, great deck with loungers and a table with an umbrella and some floats and noodles and such. We were basically in the pool most of the day every day. The backyard also features a hammock and a swingset, which was a really nice surprise for my son. The house itself is really beautifully decorated but not at all fussy. It felt very comfortable and truly like a home away from home with everything we needed. The master bedroom and kids rooms were great. The additional room is small with a full-size bed, not a queen. There were two TVs (not in the bedrooms) one internet-enabled with all the streaming services, which was great. And Shelter Island is so beautiful. You're a short drive from water in just about any direction so it's very pretty to drive around the island. We'd recommend Isola, Stars Cafe, Ram's Head Inn, The Islander, and Salt for food (we did take out the whole time). Sunset beach and Wade's beach were both lovely - Sunset beach is a great place to bring an evening meal and, you guessed it, watch the sunset. Also, Paul was a great host. He talked me through some details about the house over the phone before we arrived and was very accessible via text for quick questions we had. He was also flexible on our check in and check out times, which we really appreciated. We would love to come back again. Would definitely recommend!
