Experience the Hamptons in all of its heyday glory with a stay at Blissful Thinking. The former homestead and summer camp embodies one of the last wild spaces in the Hamptons, nestled right by the water's edge and facing Gardiner's Island. Guests will have access to canoes, kayaks, sailboats and a chance to enjoy excellent fishing. The home includes a converted, eighteenth-century barn, as well as a nineteenth-century ice house that has been transformed into a cute guest bungalow, to welcome up to ten guests into its cosy spaces. And if you're a chef, or at least fancy yourself one, then you will most definitely delight in the vegetable garden and wonderful country kitchen for meals the entire family will enjoy.

Combining carefree living with a thriving arts scene and understated elegance, Amagansett is about the slow pace of beach life – picnics on the sand, lazy lunches in town and roaring bonfires on Indian Wells Beach.
