Top Shell Beach Hotel Reviews

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"

"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

"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!"
