Hanging baskets of flowers and picnic tables on the deck invite you to relax and enjoy the charm of this in-town two-story inn with sea views, a half block from the ocean. Staff is welcoming and helpful. Some rooms have whirlpool baths and more than one bathroom, and all are well maintained and clean.
A landmark Tudor-style building in a quiet spot outside of town offers a peaceful retreat with a hip, lounge vibe. It's bungalow-like rooms are small but well-appointed with a beachy feel, and there are also cabana suites. Bamboo walkways lead to a large, heated pool surrounded by oversized sunbeds, and when a DJ is not spinning tunes poolside, there's always chill reggae or loungy music setting the tone. Grab a drink or a bite to eat at the poolside lounge or on-site restaurant. Their summer concert series attracts big names like Maxi Priest.
This is one of the few places you can go in Montauk if you are looking for a quiet, grown-up vacation where you can relax in true serenity. Small and romantic, this country home by the sea has an old-fashioned porch with rockers overlooking the ocean. Tables are garnished with wildflowers, and there's an outdoor hot tub. The common living-dining area has a fireplace. Rooms have hardwood floors and are done in soft vintage-floral prints. A path directly across the road traverses the shoreline and leads you on a short, leisurely walk into the village. Go off-season for an ultimate retreat.
