About this property

Waterfront Retreat | Spa Pool, Sauna & Dock

Nestled along the tranquil shoreline of Menantic Creek, Menantic House is a thoughtfully renovated waterfront retreat that captures everything people love about Shelter Island—privacy, expansive water views, exceptional outdoor living, and effortless access to the water.



With 153 feet of private shoreline, a private dock, and generous indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, the home is designed for families and friends looking to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy island life at its own pace.



Launch the provided kayak or stand-up paddleboard directly from your private beach and dock, spend the afternoon exploring the creek, or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere. From slow mornings with coffee overlooking the water to evenings gathered outdoors, the waterfront is at the heart of the Menantic House experience.



Inside, bright open living spaces are filled with natural light and framed by beautiful water views. The renovated kitchen flows seamlessly into comfortable living and dining areas, creating an inviting space to gather after a day on the water. On cooler evenings, the stone fireplace provides a warm and welcoming place to unwind, while large windows keep the waterfront landscape front and center throughout the home.



Three thoughtfully appointed bedrooms each feature their own ensuite bathroom, offering comfort and privacy for couples, families, or friends traveling together. The spacious primary suite also includes a dedicated workspace, making longer stays and remote work both comfortable and convenient.



Outside, you'll discover the lifestyle that makes Menantic House so special. Spend the afternoon in the heated spa pool, then raise the temperature for a relaxing hot tub experience beneath the stars. Unwind in the cedar sauna after a day on the water, gather around the Solo Stove fire pit, enjoy long dinners under the open sky, or explore Shelter Island by bicycle. The fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space to play a game of cornhole, relax, and take in the peaceful waterfront setting.



Whether you spend your days exploring Shelter Island or never leave the property, Menantic House is designed for effortless waterfront living. Guests can enjoy the island's quiet beaches, scenic nature preserves, and locally loved restaurants, then venture just a short ferry ride to Long Island's celebrated North Fork wineries or the renowned ocean beaches, villages, and dining of the Hamptons. Shelter Island offers the rare opportunity to experience the very best of both destinations while returning each evening to the peace and privacy of your own waterfront retreat.



Whether you're planning a summer week on the water, a long weekend with friends, or a relaxing island escape, Menantic House offers an exceptional blend of comfort, privacy, and memorable waterfront experiences that will draw you back year after year.

Such an incredible stay—thank you! The home is gorgeous, the location is unbeatable, and we made great use of the kayaks and paddleboards. Finishing the days in the hot tub and sauna was the absolute best. We're already hoping we can come back. And big thanks to Meredith for being so responsive and helpful!

We rented this house for our end-of-summer family getaway, and it was a dream. Somehow the house was at once spacious yet cozy, with plenty of room for everyone to have space if they wanted to be alone and come together at other times. The home is beautifully furnished, yet approachable and comfortable. Reading on the sofa with a view of the creek was a picture of serenity! The weather unfortunately didn't give us as many days outdoors as we wanted, but we still enjoyed the dipping pool and sauna. Meredith, the property manager was very kind and accessible, though she made the stay so smooth that we never were in need. We would love to return the next chance we get.
