3-star Victorian retreat with Long Island Sound views on Shelter Island
Rooms
The Chequit offers air-conditioned rooms with premium bedding and private bathrooms. The thematic decor draws inspiration from the glamorous 1940s, and family rooms include daybeds for children. Each room in this restored Victorian property overlooks the Long Island Sound.
Dining
The on-site restaurant, Red Maple, features a bar and seasonal food with an expanded terrace for open-air dining during summer months. The raw bar offers local oysters and clams, and guests receive a complimentary breakfast with fresh fruits, pastries, and homemade items. A cozy British-style pub atmosphere provides casual dining experiences.
Activities
A fleet of reconditioned vintage bikes is available for complimentary use, allowing guests to explore the island. The hotel is close to the North Ferry for easy access and offers a shared lounge and shops on the property. The sun terrace provides views of the sea.
Pet-Friendly
The Chequit has pet-friendly policies that allow guests to bring their pets. Free parking is available on site, and the hotel's location near pristine beaches makes walks easy. The property's garden and outdoor furniture accommodate pets and owners alike.
History & Location
The Chequit has a unique history as a former Methodist retreat with extensive renovations. The hotel sits in Shelter Island Heights, close to spacious beaches and picturesque coves. Its low-key atmosphere differs from neighboring holiday towns, offering a quieter base for island exploration.

History: Former Methodist retreat fully renovated
“My recent exploration revealed a genuinely charming Victorian inn, its recently redone rooms offering quiet comfort. The kitchen shows a real knack for Americana cuisine, with seafood and steak preparations consistently impressing. A helpful front desk presence further solidifies its appeal for a relaxing island stay.”
