LONG ISLAND, NY – As temperatures fall from summer highs and crowds begin to dwindle, Shelter Island is gearing up for a lovely September—what many consider the best time of year on this idyllic island. Those in the know will take in views and experiences in a way one is not privy to during the height of the summer: the now still water on Shelter Island becomes as clear as glass, and visitors savor the incredible food at the best restaurants sans the wait.
Broker Melina Wein, founder of M. Wein Realty, published The Shelter Island Comprehensive Guide which unveils a unique year-round community just a ten minute ferry ride beyond the world-famous Hamptons and the pastoral northern wine country, where many of the best attributes of both are enjoyed in abundance.

“I’m delighted that the guide has reached so many people so that they too can see what makes our life on this island so special,” Wein said. “The guide illustrates just how much there is to do on such a tiny island. Given the enthusiastic response to the Shelter Island Comprehensive Guide, we are thinking about publishing more copies.”
Some of the great local events coming up on the island as per The Shelter Island Comprehensive Guide:
- Alumni Recitals at the Clark Arts Center @ The Perlman Music Program (September 4-5)
- Second Sundays Summer Strings: Pascal Gemme & Yann Falquet of the famed Quebecois trio “Genticorum” @ Sylvester Manor Educational Farm (September 13)
- Family Fun: Hauling a Seine @ The Nature Conservancy/Mashomack Preserve (September 5)
September also brings about the best deals for house rentals on Shelter Island. Take for example this house, a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental on the Coecles Harbor waterfront that was renting between Memorial Day and Labor Day for $36,000 and can be enjoyed in September for $8,000. Rent this lovely 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom property with in-ground pool, which was renting for $70,000 and is now available for $15,000, or this picturesque 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom with wrap around porch right next to Wade’s Beach, which was renting for $35,000 between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and is available for $5,000 in September.
