Top Five Homes for Rent on Shelter Island this Summer

By David Rattiner
3 minute 05/22/2013 Share

Shelter Island provides a unique rental opportunity away from the glitz and glam of the Hamptons. It’s far more easy going and always a lot of fun. This week, our Top Five showcases the best properties for summer rental on Shelter Island.

Bumblebee Manor, MD-LD, $275,000

Unlike any property on the East End, the panoramic water views are outstanding. There is an infinity pool on the waterside flanked by a recreation pavilion and the original home is beautifully appointed. Unquestionably one of the finest properties in the region, this luxurious waterfront estate is nothing short of majestic. Exquisitely positioned directly on the water, this extraordinary residential compound is sited on 3.25 acres comprising lush gardens, rolling lawns, over 300 feet of private beach frontage, as well as a deep water dock that can accommodate a large yacht, helicopter and seaplane.
