Be prepared to be spoiled silly at this gorgeous bed-and-breakfast owned by Christopher Allen, who worked as a butler before opening this with his wife Kimberly. Rooms are decorated to represent the estates the owner worked in. Home-cooked hot breakfast includes a frittata with vegetables from the garden and Kim's delicious banana-stuffed French toast.
On two acres in the Shinnecock Hills, 5 miles west of downtown Southampton, this unassuming motel offers efficiencies with full kitchens, contemporary furniture, and free Wi-Fi; a deluxe room can accommodate families. It also features a pool, tennis courts, basketball hoop, and barbecue area.
Hospitality is the hallmark of this charming shingle-covered colonial inn, where every bedroom has antique cast-iron beds and country pine furniture. Each shabby-chic room also seems to be filled with yard upon yard of fabric: generous floral table covers and drapes, white duvets, and quilted spreads. From here it's a 15-minute walk to Southampton and a mile to a public beach.
With a shuttle to the beach, lots of on-site activities, and a quick walk to Southampton's shops and restaurants, this modern inn ticks a lot of boxes. Rooms have contemporary country furniture and fittings and the beds have down comforters and lots of pillows. Outside, Adirondack chairs are scattered throughout the expansive, formally landscaped grounds that include a patio courtyard, a large outdoor pool, and tennis courts. For a fee, seasonal residents and locals can get a membership to use the recreational faciltities here.
