A Faithful Friend is nearly a hundred years old, but in terms of its luxury and comfort, it might as well be brand new. Once you’ve had a flick through the photos, you won’t be surprised to find out that it’s been featured in many design magazines. The patio, pool, and garden alone are impressive enough, but there's also a climatised screened porch off the kitchen, and a private deck off the main bedroom. And once you go inside, the atmosphere is high end and elegant without feeling pompous or stuffy. If all of this weren’t enough, there’s a small dock on a creek leading to Mecox Bay, so you can kayak down to the beach.

Welcome Hamper

It may look Old World from the outside, but behind this home's traditional shingle exterior is a luxurious and playful home to call your own in The Hamptons. Packed with designer touches, we love the bright, double-height living space, with its character fireplace and huge windows. Parents can enjoy the privacy of the downstairs master suite, with the remaining three bedrooms upstairs. And perhaps while the little ones explore the play shed outside, you could pour a drink from the wet bar and grab a cosy spot on the patio. From here it's just a stroll into Bridgehampton Village when you're ready to explore – an area known for its great walks, cycle routes and water sports. Luckily, the host has provided a shed full of bikes, kayaks and outdoor gear (there's even an outdoor shower for afterwards). Cool off in the saltwater pool, then fire up the grill for a long, lazy meal on the patio or in the formal dining room – doors flung open to the pretty garden. It's just a five-minute drive to Water Mill, and a little further to Southampton and Sag Harbour.

You don't even need to step out of this home to take in the view of Sam’s Creek and Mecox Bay, with the sea stretching out in the distance. At this cottage by the water, built up on stilts, you’ll be able to watch it all from the comfort of home. But why would you when you can step out onto the deck, wander down to your private dock or walk to the beach in just minutes. Inside, the home has more than a touch of Bauhaus about it. Designed by the late Peter Blake, it's mainly monochrome interior contrasts against the greenery framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. It's a peaceful spot, with an open layout and an air of calm – especially in the bedrooms. Its raised position makes it a unique place to stay, and allows it to really make the most of its surroundings. Spend time lazing on hammocks under the cherry tree or take to the water on the home's canoe.

Set within an acre of lush green grounds, this seriously charming home is just a twenty-minute drive from the centre of Sag Harbour - undoubtedly one of New York State's best-kept secrets. This centuries-old seaside village may be known as one of the most family-friendly places in the Hamptons, but its strictly adults-only activities include a visit to the nearby Wölffer Estate vineyards to sample their famed rosé cider. If hitting the many vintage stores in Sag Harbour isn’t on the cards, head out to explore the bay on one of the paddleboards or kayaks provided, by virtue of your own exclusive boat dock. Should that sound a little too energetic, you can also just take a dip in your private pool or luxuriate in the jacuzzi. The home is fresh, cool and contemporary while staying welcoming with warm rattan, bohemian touches, colourful books and art, and a rustic beachy feel. An aperitif on the pretty terrace is a must on balmy nights, or spend an evening around the fire with a movie in the cosy living room.

Dating back to the eighteenth century, it’s safe to say that The Whaler’s Cottage is steeped in history. It has a wonderful garden with lots of room for relaxing, and the interiors are stunning. It’s easy to see that Tom and Max have an eye for design. Light-filled, minimalist, and incredibly elegant, it’s the kind of place you look forward to coming home after perusing Sag Harbor or walking by the beach. Speaking of sandy stretches, you’re close to the village centre, giving you easy access to several beaches, along with lots of wonderful restaurants, shops, and bars.

An idyllic escape for all the family, this waterfront home sits in the hamlet of North Sea, part of larger Southhampton, and within an easy drive of a wide selection of restaurants, boutique shops and beautiful beaches. Whether you're here for a weekend or a longer stay, you'll immediately feel relaxed in this quiet spot, surrounded by nature. There's a huge, private garden with direct access to the water and an illuminated dock, so lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Hire a boat, or borrow the home's kayaks and paddleboard to make the most of its unique location. Inside, it's a bright and beautiful space with a truly loved and lived-in feel. Made up of two units, with a staircase joining them together, you'll find two kitchens, two living rooms, and a total of four bedrooms – plus a playroom which can act as a nursery. We loved the upper level's stunning dining area – large enough for you all to eat together, opening out to a large deck and offering panoramic views of the water (it's also where you'll find the piano if you're musically inclined). In the evenings, barbecue outdoors before lighting the fire pit and watching the stars come out one by one.  

Kennedies

This Hamptons house sits on seven acres of lush greenery, with plenty of space for both kids and adults to enjoy. Old meets new inside, with patterned rugs, antique furniture and an imposing fireplace, along with a slick kitchen complete with coffee grinder and juicer. When the weather is right, stretch out on the sun loungers on the deck before you take a refreshing dip in the pool. No detail has been forgotten here – there's a little kitchen garden where you can pick fresh herbs for your culinary creations, and two bikes are provided for you to get around. A ten minute cycle or five minute drive will take you into Southampton, with its bustling restaurants and boutiques, or down to the sands at Cooper's Beach. Golfers will also be delighted to know that there are several courses within swinging distance. 

When In Bloom

Heated Pool

With a swimming pool outside and a huge playroom inside, there's no chance of boredom at this Hamptons retreat. Set in luscious forest near Bridgehampton and Sag Harbor, you're a short drive from shops, restaurants, and activities, while being secluded in your own peaceful bubble. A calming medley of greys, blues, and whites flows throughout the interior. Sliding doors in the living room lead to the outside, letting in plenty of light and a refreshing forest breeze. Choose from a variety of places to relax; around the swimming pool, by the barbecue area, or in the basement where a large space for indoor hockey matches, skateboarding or soccer is separated by glass.

Outdoor Kitchen

A haven of tranquillity, this serene home is perfect for recharging your batteries. Step inside and be soothed by the classic Hamptons style – think ample-sized living spaces designed for entertaining, calm colours inspired by the coast and oodles of windows flooding each room with natural light. It's the ideal family pad, especially with a lounge fit for kids (complete with a pool table) in the basement and a workout room (including a Peloton bike) that fitness buffs will appreciate. And there's no denying that there's plenty of space to spread out. Two main suites have parents and in-laws covered, the sunroom is an excellent spot to enjoy a cup of tea in the afternoons and the kitchen is a dream to cook in, with glossy tiles, high-end appliances and all the crockery you'll need.

Make your way outside and while away sunny days by the pool. Come evening, fire up the barbecue and tuck into an alfresco feast before gathering around the fire pit on the Adirondack chairs to watch the stars come out. The peaceful scenery is made even better by the excellent location. This home is tucked away on a tree-lined cul-de-sac that backs up to a nature preserve, with walking trails right on your doorstep. It's an easy seven-minute drive to the stores, restaurants and coffee shops in East Hampton, while Two Mile Hollow Beach and other stretches of sandy coastline are just eleven minutes away.

Sea Aster sits in an ideal spot for exploring beach and town life. Sag Harbor Main Street, with its restaurants, boutiques and artisan bakeries, is less than fifteen minutes’ walk away, and you can get to Haven’s Beach – a perfect spot to watch the sun set – in ten. The home has great dining and lounging areas, and the kitchen island makes the communal space even more open and social. With an ample sized garden, you get the calm and privacy that comes with the village farmhouse vibe while being at a handy distance from everything you’ll need.

Radiating coastal luxury, this towering home with its streamlined kitchen, natural lighting and picture-perfect minimalist rooms stands on an acre of land in the affluent Hamptons. Location-wise, you're surrounded by art museums and trendy mom-and-pop shops, with the historic Shinnecock Hills Golf Club under five minutes away by car and Meschutt Beach not much further.  Not only is it well positioned with good looks, but the sleek terrace is also where you'll find a swimming pool and seating area overlooking the treeline and garden below.

The Little Sparrow

Traditional on the outside, smart and modern inside, this home is a serene coastal haven. Every element here has been carefully considered to ensure you feel as welcome and relaxed as possible. The rooms are all soothingly decked out in white, with tasteful nods to its seaside location. But this is more than your average beach home. On the lower level you’ll find a cinema room – complete with mini fridge and popcorn machine, naturally – and there’s a Sonos sound system, a state-of-the-art fitness bike (if you really feel the need to train while you're away) and mini arcade machines in the games room. In it's a great spot, close to North Sea and the Tuckahoe Woods Preserve. A short drive or a bike ride will take you into Southampton village and its long stretch of sandy beaches.

Just steps away from a private community beach, Borne Back was designed by its architect owner to provide a comfortable contemporary home in a perfectly quiet spot in the Hamptons. On a full acre plot next to Gardiner's Bay, it's surrounded by tall trees. Inside, it's modern, bright and relaxing, with subtle nods to its coastal location. Cook in the state-of-the-art kitchen, barbecue outside on the terrace or screen a movie on the home cinema setup. There's ample outdoor seating and a delightful, heated private pool to enjoy, and in the evenings, you could always treat your loved ones to a performance on the home's drumkit. We love the huge, sociable sofa in the living room and the first-floor sun terrace in particular but nothing beats the location of this place. A matter of metres from the beach and surrounded by quiet streets perfect for walks and bike rides, it's also within easy reach of several shops and restaurants.

Borne Back

This Hamptons home does island life the modern way. In the mornings, hit up the local farmers’ markets and seafood shops. Then, in the evenings, cook your fresh fish in the state-of-the-art open kitchen. From the inter-connected Sonos surround sound system to the marble fireplace, vibrant art-works and comfortable furnishings – it's the fine details that set this home apart from the rest.

We love how close this home is to the beaches but when you’ve had enough of salty water, take a dip in your private heated pool. The beautifully landscaped patio garden surrounded by the local greenary offers a peaceful spot to enjoy some much-needed vitamin D. Come rain or shine, this spot presents a quiet sanctuary away from city life – and one that you can enjoy by spending quality time together as a group. 

When you are ready to venture out, spend your days cycling around the island. With scenic spots all around, Shelter Island invites you to switch off and reconnect with nature through time in a new environment. Ahh, we can smell the fresh air already. 


Ahoy There

A luxurious harbour-front villa overlooking the serene Noyack Bay, this home's stylish interior boasts elegance and sophistication. Huge, panoramic windows display the beautiful surroundings while flooding the space with light. An exquisite kitchen seamlessly blends the modern fixtures and fittings with a rustic style, pairing sleek marble-top counters with traditional brick and log walls. The large bedrooms have plush beds and window-walls, creating rejuvenating spaces, only furthered by the luxurious en-suite bathrooms featuring ocean-tiled walk-in showers. There is a serene, heated outdoor pool surrounded by lazing lounge areas, perfect for soaking up the summer’s sun. Located at the harbour's edge, the villa is moments away from delicious restaurants and quaint shops to explore. On more exciting days, you can take a short walk to the Northampton Colony Yacht Club for a day of sailing. 

Seascape

Safe

Look out for artists, poets and musicians in the area around this home – it’s located in Springs, arguably the coolest town in the Hamptons. In the past, it’s played host to visionaries like Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, Kurt Vonnegut, and John Steinbeck. Luckily, the home’s bright, colourful design lives up to its surroundings, with patterned throws and bedspreads, quirky artwork and unique furniture. From the moment you step foot inside, you'll feel right at home. There are 1.5 acres of land to explore out the back, with plenty of options for alfresco dining, whether you choose to relax with a barbecue under the wisteria or socialise on the patio. On hot summer days, go for a swim in the crystal clear pool, or lie back with a book on a sun lounger nearby. As if this wasn't enough, it’s also perfectly located for making the most of Springs, with the sea just a five-minute cycle away, and coastal walks and surf beaches within easy reach. On Saturdays, amble over to the Farmer’s Market to purchase fresh produce to whip up a feast. All in all, this is a delightful stay for young families or a group of old friends coming together. 

Sunflower Summer

Mere steps from the beach, this four-bedroom farmhouse sleeps ten and is ideal for a large family getaway. Rustic it may be, but the interiors don’t skimp on style – white walls and pops of colour lend it a modern Scandinavian vibe. An open-plan kitchen with a Carrara marble island and KitchenAid mixer make meal prep a cinch – get everyone together to bake a cake. A travel crib, highchair and changing pad are provided for the littlest family members. 

The Captain's House

At the bottom of the garden, you’ve got direct access to the serene waters of Noyack Bay, with kayaks, paddleboards and bicycles provided by your host. It’s a fifteen to twenty-minute walk (or five-minute cycle) to the restaurants and grocery store of Noyack, just along the coast from Sag Harbour. Your host is a designer, and it’s evident in the big, light-filled spaces inside, especially the gourmet kitchen which you might recognise from several cooking shows on the Food Network. Apart from the grand lounge, there are family hideaways tucked away and a big games room and cinema for time together. We love the surf shack in the garden – a lofty summer house with a wood-burner for chilly evenings.  

Where the Wind Blows

Underfloor Heating

If you’re looking for all the charm of a country cottage with the space and grandeur of a manor house, this is the spot for you. It’s a four-minute stroll to the vast stretch of sand at Long Beach and a six-minute drive sees you in the heart of the pretty village of Sag Harbor. Or, you could while away the days in the privacy of the leafy-green backyard. Out here, you’ve got a pristine swimming pool set in the wooden deck and a shower to wash sandy feet after a trip to the beach.

Inside, it’s a mix of crisp white walls and ink-black accents. Gabled, white-wash ceilings give that country cottage aesthetic and floor-to-ceiling windows fill the place with sunlight. Boho beanbag chairs and pot plants add a rustic touch to the living room and the sleek, modern kitchen is fit for gourmet meals. Underfloor heating in the plush bathrooms is another nice touch.

Workplace

If you need a base for a friendly get-together or a family reunion, then look no further than this abode in the heart of Westchester County. Thanks to the games room, gym and cinema room, there’s never a dull moment here – and that’s just what’s inside the home. Outside, guests have access to a private pool, basketball hoop, and terrace, ideal for drinks at sundown. In terms of location, you’re an hour’s drive from New York City. Should you need help with planning your itinerary, your host provides a handy digital guide. 

A Summer's Eve

Paid Parking On Premises

This calming home-from-home is close enough to nip into the city on the subway, yet sits in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood in Astoria, Queens. Surrounded by leafy green parks, independent coffee shops, and a host of world cuisine eateries, it's the perfect spot for those looking to see the sights of NYC with a comforting place to call home outside of the concrete jungle. Inside, from the moment you enter the home, there's a real sense of space, with an open concept floor plan and clever design. Natural light floods into the living room through the windows and neutral tones of grey, white and moody blue create a soothing space to relax in after a day wandering the city. The sleek white kitchen comes with an equally elegant dining room that's perfect for big American breakfasts while the dedicated work desk accommodates those in town on business. Whether you're strolling through the local green spots, living it up in the city, or in-and-out with work, this charming apartment is a rare pocket of calm withdrawn from the hustle and bustle.
