Welcome to Owls Nest

Your Beachfront Escape Awaits

Your Beachfront Escape

your own private beach

Beachfront Exclusivity

Your private beach overlooks the tranquil beauty of West Harbor,

perfect for families, intimate weddings or executive retreats.

Crave adventure?

Dive into the day. Swim, kayak, sail, or forage for fresh oysters and clams in your personal beach front playground.

Prefer Stillness?

From the balconies above your private beach,

let the day unfold slowly with sunrise yoga or a warm cup of coffee, wrapped in a blanket, as the light and boats emerge.

Linger longer with a book or a puzzle - all with the water below.

Chasing the sunset?

Gather, unwind and savor every moment.

From sunset cocktails to moonlit fires, end your day with a fresh lobster under the stars,  s'mores, by the flames, and quiet conversation that lingers long into the night.

Designed to
Inspire Connection

Created by Aspen-based designer

Zoe Calahan and her mother, Lauren Calahan, Owls Nest was envisioned with one guiding principle: attention to detail that inspires connection. 

 

Whether it’s a multigenerational family vacation, a long-overdue gathering of friends, or a milestone celebration, Owls Nest offers the perfect setting for meaningful gatherings.
 

For teams and retreats looking for more than a board room, Owls Nest offers dynamic spaces that spark creativity, unlock potential and strengthen professional bonds. 

Designed with four cozy indoor / outdoor fireplaces, five dining areas, and three peaceful balconies overlooking the harbor, this home encourages open conversation, collaboration and connection  - all with panoramic water views and total privacy. 

Ideal for Every Occasion

For Families & Friends

Reconnect with loved ones

 

Designed for both comfort and connection,

Owls Nest blends texture and mediums to create warm, intriguing, inviting spaces.

From expansive common areas to serene private retreats, our goal was to ensure each guest would find their "happy place" and create unforgettable memories together. 

For Teams and Retreats

Renew, Reimagine, Rebuild your legacy

 

Originally built in the 1860's and thoughtfully reconstructed on Fishers Island, the barn-turned-retreat embodies the same values it now inspires — vision, intentional design, and legacy-building in a new setting. 

With expansive gathering spaces, private breakout areas, and uninterrupted water views, Owls Nest creates the conditions for  strategic vision, high-impact collaboration, and decisive action.

Guest Reviews

We had an amazing stay at this house on Fishers Island! It was perfect for families — spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The kitchen was stocked with high-quality, new appliances and cookware, which made cooking easy and enjoyable. The shower was one of the best I’ve ever used — a small detail that made a big difference after long days at the beach.

But the best part by far was the view. The house sits right on the ocean, and every morning we woke up to the most stunning sunrise and the sound of the waves. It truly felt like our own private coastal retreat. We can’t wait to come back

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at this stunning new home on Fishers Island, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the thoughtful design, impeccable cleanliness, and serene atmosphere. The house is beautifully appointed with modern finishes, cozy furnishings, and large windows that flood the space with natural light.
The kitchen is a dream—fully equipped and perfect for cooking up fresh seafood or enjoying a quiet breakfast with views of the water. Each bedroom feels like a private retreat, with plush bedding and peaceful surroundings that made for restful nights. The outdoor space is equally impressive, with a spacious deck ideal for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or stargazing under the clear island sky.
Location-wise, it’s unbeatable. Just a short walk or bike ride to the beach, local shops, and scenic trails. Whether you're looking to unwind or explore, this home is the perfect base for your Fishers Island adventure.
We can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a luxurious yet laid-back island escape!

Just got back from a stay at this awesome new vacation home on Fisher’s Island, and wow—it was everything we hoped for. Super close to the beach (like, you can walk there in flip-flops), and the house itself is gorgeous.The place is fresh, modern, and super cozy. You can tell it’s brand new—everything feels clean and thoughtfully put together.The kitchen’s great if you feel like cooking, but honestly, we spent most of our time on the deck soaking up the sun and sipping drinks.Bedrooms are comfy, showers are amazing (especially the outdoor one!), and the vibe is just super chill.It’s quiet, peaceful, and feels like your own little slice of paradise.If you’re looking to unwind, catch some beach time, and stay somewhere that feels a little fancy without being over the top—this is it. Already dreaming about going back
