One thing we decidedly don’t love about the Hamptons? The myriad hassles that surround getting a rental: You have to book way back in February and scour dozens of listings to find one that works for your time frame. Not to mention stocking the kitchen and figuring out what else you need at your temporary residence.
Fortunately, someone had the brilliant idea to streamline the process: StayMarquis wants to make your dream Hamptons experience a whole lot easier. The full-service vacation rental company, from co-founders Bryan Fedner and Alex Goldstein, not only provides Hamptons vacationers with five-star homes, it offers concierge services akin to those at a luxe hotel.
For starters, the properties are nice, with amenities ranging from basic (linens provided) to baller (private pool, tennis court). And once you book, you can take advantage of concierge services that include securing coveted dinner reservations at the Hamptons’ most-talked-about restaurants, arranging a local wine tasting or boat rental, or setting up a one-on-one fitness class by the pool. You can even arrange to have your grocery shopping taken care of, so you can arrive to a fully stocked fridge.
Plus, unlike a lot of lodging Out East, there are actually flexible options—and many are surprisingly affordable. Here, a few dreamy homes we have our eye on this summer.
