This beautifully restored, waterfront Victorian cottage with gingerbread trim sleeps 8 and is ideally situated in Shelter Island Heights. A 5-minute walk to the North Ferry, private beach club, tennis courts, restaurants, and shops, the cottage is perfect for families with children or for an extended family gathering. The formal dining room and spacious kitchen provide a comfortable space for preparing and enjoying meals together. The whitewashed ceilings and large windows allow for plenty of natural light and fresh ocean air. We love the arched architectural accents and the bedroom with its vaulted ceiling. After a day strolling through the picturesque town, kids can retreat to the fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play. Dine as a family on the front porch and watch the boats on Dering Harbor slowly drift past. On colder nights, cuddle up with the kiddos and a good book by the fire.

Shelter Island, North Fork

A magical place for a family vacation

A weekender getaway from New York City with acres of sandy beaches, quiet roads and ice cream parlors, Shelter Island is a magical place for a family vacation. Outdoor adventures abound, whether that’s hiking through nature preserves, kayaking in the bay or cycling to the beach to collect shells and play in the calm waves. Getting here is part of the fun - kids love the ferry ride.

I can't believe I forgot to write a review for this house, which was so lovely, even in the off-season! The yard is wonderful for kids and the location was perfect.
