“Worst experience ever”

I booked Stearn point House back in March for my wedding guests. My wedding is in August. I visited the B&B back in April and met with the manager, she sounded nice. I only talked to the owner by phone, at first she sounded ok. I sent her the requested deposit in order to book the rooms etc. We then agree I will call her back at least a month before the wedding and gave her the breakdown of who stays in what rooms what nights. So I did and I couldn't believe my ears, she was the rudest person, she was completely lunatic and gave me this attitude out of nowhere. She then said she will send me back my deposit and I don't have the house anymore for my wedding guests????????!!!!!!!!!!
She is completely ruining my wedding plans, I now have to find other rooms 4 weeks before the wedding for my family whose coming from France. This is insane! And the worst part is that there is nothing I can do about it?! She is so old school that there are no written contract or email confirmation. Everything was by phone, she doesn't even have voicemail...
Please beware of this woman. She ll turn psycho on you out of nowhere and will mess up your plans.....

“Clean, charming, quaint, well-priced with great hosts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2008

I stayed their recently for a weekend visit to Shelter Island with a galpal. This was one of the few places on the island that happened to have last minute availability.

It was clean and charming. Maria, who runs the property together with David, is happy to share local knowledge. They have a nice porch which is great for breakfast or afternoon tea.

As a bonus, the room also had a cot.

I'd stay there again and have recommended the Inn to friends. While it's not luxurious, it is clean and very comfortable and is priced right. The location is fabulous: within a very short (5 minute) walk to Crescent Beach. Location, location!

“Stearns Point House”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2004

Stayed at Stearns Point House in Shelter Island this Summer. Clean and very basic, the managers Dave and Marie were great. Breakfast was ok, with fresh coffee, OJ, milk, muffins, bread, donuts, fruits. The building is an old farm of sorts, very basic with the land not that impressive, the grass field out front really in poor shape - don't know if it's the deers' fault. There is a cute porch where you can have your breakfast in the morning. No balconies. The King size room we had was good size, the king size bed was 2 small beds together. Clean bathroom. NO luxury here so overall we found the approx $180/night we paid to be excessive, but it may be OK for the location. It was NOT our first choice, but we booked last minute. Located very close to Crescent beach (5 minute walk) where a nice Freanch beach restaurant is located and a hotel. That is a plus.
