To begin, we had a wonderful time on Shelter Island, and Dering Harbor in particular. Born and raised on the west coast we had certain assumptions about Long Island beach life that were quickly troubled upon our arrrival at the Dering Harbor Inn. To call what is essentially a cooperative of individually owned condos an Inn is a bit misleading,... More

We did our research online and asked some friends who had been to the island before. This seemd like the best option since they also had 2-bedroom studioos available. We had studio nr 6, which is brand new. Nice modern look and feel, and very complete inventory everything you will need in the kitchen and more. Large fridge with icemaker,... More

Stayed for one night at the end of July. We were in a one bedroom water view. Room was outdated but clean. The view was amazing. Pool clean. Traveled the island and this seemed like the inn with the best view. It's a bit pricey. We also ate breakfast at the islander which was delicious. And dinner at the vine... More

The back porch is where the views are. The grounds are beautiful and well manicured and the pool is in an idealic setting. Would definetly stay here... More

We had never been to Shelter Island before and Sherry (from Dering Harbor Inn) said we would wind up wishing we could stay longer. Well, she was so very right... We arrived Thursday and stayed for 2 nights. The short ferry ride over was fun and then to enter our waterview room was magnificient. The bedroom was very large as... More

The Dering Harbor Inn was clean, beautifully appointed, and accessible to all that Shelter Island has to offer. We were in a second floor studio with a small kitchenette, which made mealtimes less expensive and more fun. The grounds were impeccably manicured, and the pool was beautiful and very well maintained. I highly recommend the Dering Harbor Inn!

The hotel is nothing extraordinary but the tranquility and peace you will find in this place it is just fantastic. The rooms are very well decorated and comfortable, you have a kitchen with all the accessories, a living room with a balcony and a fantastic view. The hotel rent bicycles for hours or the entire day and you can visit... More
