Situated on five acres of forested land at the end of a long driveway, East Hampton’s Woodland Hideaway serves up a truly secluded stay that’s perfectly suited to nature lovers and beach bums alike. (There are multiple nature preserves nearby and beautiful beaches are just a ten minute drive away.) The cabin-style home has a rustic feel with nearly as much wood inside as the sprawling lot upon which it sits, and the small community of Springs to which it belongs is comprised mostly of fisherman and artists—a refreshing change of pace from the glamorous jetsetters who typically flock to the Hamptons over the summer.  Bottom line: If you’re looking for a super cozy and well-appointed place to stay that’s private and unpretentious, this is the rental for you.

The interior features a breezy open floor plan and tons of natural light to compliment the modern minimalist design aesthetic, and the spacious, private backyard is equipped with a BBQ, fire pit and plenty of outdoor furniture. The real draw, however, is that this home has easy access to a private beach that is, by all accounts, exceptionally beautiful and a perfect spot to watch every breathtaking sunset.

Just book a stay at this palatial estate and you’ll get a taste of what it’s like to live in the lap of Hamptons luxury.  This massive 5,000 square foot home is just minutes away from the beach and sits in the midst of what is best described as a private park—featuring a full acre of neatly groomed hedges, beautiful gardens and grassy lawns, plus a heated pool and an oversized pavilion with TVs and a grill station. In fact, you might be inclined to think that simply camping on the lot would be fancy enough, but we’d be remiss not to mention the Versailles-like luxury of the designer interior, which boasts five spacious bedrooms, multiple large bathrooms with gleaming marble from floor to ceiling, a newly renovated chef’s kitchen and a full gym. Suffice it to stay, the hardest thing about crashing at this pad is having to leave.

17. Stunning Farmhouse in Riverhead, NY

If you’re looking for a secluded countryside retreat that still provides easy access to all that North Fork has to offer (i.e., beaches, vineyards, farms and more), then this rental is an excellent choice.

18. Immaculate Architect’s House in Hampton Bays, NY

  • Sleeps: 8
  • Rate: from $650 per night
  • Why We Recommend It: architectural design, close proximity to town and beaches, spacious interior, garden views

Oh, and did we mention that with four impeccably decorated bedrooms and three and a half sparkling clean bathrooms, there’s enough space to accommodate a small crowd? Just be sure to hit up one of the many ocean and bay beaches nearby and stroll the Hamptons Bay village once you’re done drinking in the comfort and style of this Insta-worthy property.  

19. Stunning Hamptons Waterfront Escape in Hampton Bays, NY

  • Sleeps: 8
  • Rate: from $1,350 per night
  • Why We Love It: bay views, harbor views, waterfront location

This gem in Hamptons Bay consists of two side-by-side residences (one main house and one pool house) making it an ideal vacation rental for larger groups who want a little more privacy. The rear deck serves up stunning views of the bay and harbor, and glowing reviews suggest that the interior of the home is cozy, comfortable and well-appointed.
