Top Shell Beach Hotel Reviews

Silver Sands Motel & Beach Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"The most relaxing weekend I've had in a long while. Will go again!"

Faraway Sag Harbor

8/10 Good

"Beautiful and charming hotel! Unfortunately the restaurant was only serving breakfast and not dinner, since we arrived off- season. However the restaurant was freezing due to the heating system not working so we had to go elsewhere in town for breakfast. Too bad because it was a lovely room with a harbor view. Our biggest disappointment by far was the coffee in the room and in the lobby. Nasty stuff! I have never tasted coffee this bad in any hotel (and we have been to many). First of all at this high- end price point per night, Faraway should be providing at least a Nespresso machine in each room for a decent morning cup of coffee instead of instant coffee packets which went out with Sanka like forty years ago. :( Then we thought that maybe the coffee urns on the bar in the common area would at least provide a half decent cup of coffee. Boy were we wrong! The fact that other filled cups of coffee which were left on the bar still full told us that other guests felt the same about the quality of coffee. Thank goodness for Goldbergs Bagel shop in town! Come on guys. If you want to be recognized as a high end getaway in an extremely wealthy part of Long Island, please find yourselves a better quality coffee source. Its not that hard these days. We speak for all true coffee lovers."

Zey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel had a good vibe and energy! Lots of artwork and was very charming. It has a bed and breakfast feel to it. The parking is behind the hotel and free and convenient. It’s right on Main Street and walking distance to all restaurants and bars. The staff especially James was warm and friendly and accommodating. We had a great time checking out all the cool lounge areas in the hotel. The room was clean and charming as well. Would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Greenport"

8/10 Good

"Suited our needs just fine. Was a little smaller than we needed, but had everything we needed to be comfortable. Host was quick to respond to our needs during our stay. Price was on point to other properties on shelter island. Location to south ferry a plus."

Sag Harbor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was beautiful. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The continental breakfast offered many choices, and they had coffee, tea and hot chocolate available 24 hours a day."

The Harbor Front Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the staff is always wonderful. Parking was a nightmare because of the festival which had nothing to do with the hotel. My only issue is the breakfast , I wish it had a little more so I don’t have to go down the street to get something to eat . Honestly it’s not even an issue we will continue to stay here because it is a very nice hotel"

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!!"

Seashell – Short Walk to Long Beach, Heated Pool & Best Sunsets in the Hamptons

8/10 Good

"Great pool and backyard set up for the family! Easy access to many parts of the Hamptons. The hosts were incredibly responsive and pleasant."
