Top Shell Beach Hotel Reviews

Silver Sands Motel & Beach Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"Unique and beautiful property"

Year round family home on Shelter Island with indoor heated pool and dock.

10/10 Excellent

"The outdoor area is a real plus, unfortunately we were there during a Noreaster so we didn't get to use it but had no flooding issues as it sits higher than some surrounding houses. The house is very well stocked and plenty of room for cars. The 5th bedroom is up a steep ladder but there was a daybed that we used in place of that 5th bedroom. Host was very accommodating to our requests."

Spacious 4-bedroom house in charming Shelter Island with AC

8/10 Good

"Great but would benefit from actual window treatment as there are none for privacy in bathroom and light in bedrooms. The lighting fixtures are also a bit scarce so at night it feels like being in a hospital with all the built-in ceiling lights… great place otherwise!"

House on Chase Creek

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cute place to stay! Bill was super kind and helpful! I was only in for a quick night but I would definitely stay here again!!"

Waterfront House With Dock And Private Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful waterfront view and aShort walk to the beach- perfect Shelter Island getaway!"

Huge Island Getaway Pool Hot Tub Walk To Beach

8/10 Good

"Great island with plenty of good restaurants.The host was extremely friendly and had great and prompt communication.Lovely house based upon the photos. The house was beautiful at one time. It’s tired and in need of some TLC. There were physical signs of water damage that was patched and left as is. Sliding doors do not lock but are held closed with sticks of wood. The main master bath tub was not working and there is mold in shower. Washing machine leaks. The gas stove did not fully work properly. Half of the bbq burners did not work. On the good note there was plenty of room to roam inside and outside. Several dining areas in house. Great house to enjoy. The pool was also lovely and comfortable. All in all it’s a nice rental, but overpriced for its current condition… I do hope the house is repaired and updated as it can be a fun place to stay."

4-bedroom house on lake in delightful Shelter Island with WiFi, AC on 3.2 acres

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious 4 bedroom family and pet friendly home. Well stocked kitchen. Large outdoor space. Close to Wades Beach. We enjoyed our stay!"

Southold Waterfront with Boat Dock, Boat Ramp, Hot Tub & Beaches

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed for a week at this property three times. The house is wonderful — plenty of room for the seven members of our family. On the water location is great! We used the kayaks every day and brought inflatable floats for relaxing in the water. The property is very well maintained and the host responds quickly to any questions."
