The Chequit: A Victorian coastal retreat with 1940s glamour on Shelter Island
Accommodations & Ambiance
Lovingly renovated Victorian architecture greets guests at The Chequit, with views over Long Island Sound. Each air-conditioned room includes premium bedding and a private bathroom with complimentary toiletries. Family rooms are available with a daybed for children, and the thematic decor evokes the glamour of the 1940s throughout the property.
Dining & Local Flavors
The on-site restaurant, Red Maple, serves seasonal food with a bar for casual drinks. A complimentary breakfast is offered each morning, featuring fresh fruits, pastries, and homemade items. Guests can also visit the raw bar for local oysters and clams, or enjoy open-air dining on the expanded terrace during summer.
Amenities & Activities
A fleet of reconditioned vintage bicycles is available for complimentary use, allowing guests to explore the island at their own pace. The property includes a sun terrace and outdoor furniture for relaxation, as well as a shared lounge. Free WiFi and free on-site parking are provided, and the hotel accommodates pets upon request.
Location & Access
Situated near the North Ferry on Shelter Island, the hotel offers easy access to nearby attractions. Montauk is 34 km away, while East Hampton is 20 km from the property. The Chequit is close to spacious beaches, picturesque coves for family outings, and locations known for spectacular sunsets.
Activities & Local Scene
The hotel provides a quieter atmosphere compared to neighboring holiday towns, making it a distinct base for relaxation. Guests can attend local events or explore the natural beauty of the area. The Red Maple bar and restaurant also host DJ nights on Tuesdays, adding a low-key evening option for those who choose to stay in.
“Dining here is a genuine highlight, particularly for the fresh seafood, enjoyed best from a balcony overlooking the harbor. The recent renovations have modernized the rooms, and the staff consistently strikes a balance between attentiveness and genuine warmth, with particular commendation for Chris at the front desk. It stands as a rather remarkable and reliable choice for a getaway on the island.”
