This inn is perfectly located just above beautiful Dering Harbor. From our porch you could watch the sailboats or gaze at the North Fork in the near distance. We were in one of the inn's waterfront suites, which are all in single-story buildings and which all have unobstructed harbor views. Our suite was roomy and comfortable, a great place to... More

We stayed in studio #15 and had a water view from our porch. The unit was clean,well equipped and air conditioned.

It is very peaceful there. We enjoyed sitting... More

We enjoyed hiking and biking on the island and then watching the sun set while sitting on Adirondack chairs overlooking the sailboat-studded bay. The spacious... More

For these prices you would expect luxury. Instead you get a run down cabin and staff with an attitude. Not sure why anyone would stay here more than twice. Avoid it. More

The Dering Harbor Inn on Shelter Island is a wonderful place to spend a few days or weeks in the summer. Part of what makes this place so special is Shelter Island, and I will talk about that a bit later. The Dering Harbor Inn is located 1-2 miles from the ferry landing to/from Greenport, and about a 10 minute... More
