Why Glynn Gardens

Everything a Shelter Island Summer Requires

Glynn Gardens sits in Shelter Island Heights — the island's historic summer community — on a lushly wooded lot with the privacy and scale that make a long summer stay actually work.

🏊

Heated Pool

Private heated outdoor pool on the main deck. Operational from late May through September.

🏖️

Community Beach Access

Included with the rental. Access Shelter Island's pristine coastline for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding on Peconic Bay.

🏠

Cathedral Ceilings & Skylights

2,620 sq ft of living space with soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and natural light throughout.

🔥

Stone Fireplace

Wood-burning stone fireplace in the main living room — essential for cool June evenings and early September nights.

🐾

Dogs Welcome

Large private grounds and deck, dog-friendly community beaches nearby, and direct access to Mashomack Preserve trails.

❄️

New HVAC & Systems (2026)

Fully updated HVAC and water heater installed 2026. Comfortable in any summer conditions.

🛁

Renovated Primary Bath

Fully renovated primary bathroom with Carrara marble finishes. Three full baths across the property.

🌿

Private Wooded Grounds

Lush, mature landscaping provides natural shade and privacy — rare for a property this close to the beach community.

Shelter Island: Everything Within Reach

Shelter Island has no traffic lights, no chain stores, and one-third of its land permanently protected as Mashomack Preserve. Everything you need for a summer — beaches, restaurants, hiking, wine country day trips — is either on the island or a short ferry ride away.

Why Shelter Island

The Smarter Alternative to the Hamptons

Shelter Island sits between the North and South Forks of Long Island — accessible only by ferry, which is precisely what keeps it the way it is. No Route 27 traffic. No strip malls. No Starbucks. The ferry crossing takes eight minutes and functions as a filter: only people who actually want to be here make the crossing. The result is a summer community that is quieter, more local, and more genuinely focused on the place itself than anything the Hamptons can currently offer.

Comparable luxury rentals in East Hampton command $200,000 or more per season. Glynn Gardens offers a four-bedroom, pool, beach-access property at a fraction of that — with the kind of privacy and natural character that overbuilt Hamptons corridors have largely lost. Read the full comparison →
