Book your stay at the Boat House – outfitted by DWR.
Perched over Shelter Island’s Dering Harbor, the Boat House is an enchanting waterfront retreat – and the site of our new rental home in collaboration with Boutique. Originally built in the 1920s and carefully renovated nearly a century later, today the three-bedroom home captures the spirit of an idyllic summer Out East, furnished by DWR to reflect the cadence of coastal living. | | | |
Coastal connections | Originally part of Shelter Island’s working waterfront in the 1920s, the Boat House was rebuilt by homeowner Scott Murphy in 2015 to be exactly as it was.
New construction complements the home's original gabled form and intimate scale – while blurring the line between indoors and out. | | | | | |

| | Set sail No traffic lights. One gas station. One supermarket. Life on Shelter Island is made for taking it easy. Here, days unfold naturally – from waking with the sounds of the harbor and cycling to Crescent Beach to afternoon walks at Mashomack Preserve and sunset dinners under open skies. | | |
