For a laid-back yet elegant escape in the Hamptons, you can’t do much better than this chic pad. The house is bright and welcoming, so you’ll feel right at home whether you’re sprawled on the terrace or swimming laps in the heated pool. It's perfectly situated just a ten-minute drive from Sag Harbor Cove – in the evening you might want to hop on the bicycles provided so you can enjoy a cocktail or two with your meal. During the day, if you’re not lazing by the pool, you might stroll six minutes to Short Beach to splash in the surf. Everything you need for a great holiday is right at your fingertips here – you can even book a private chef to cook for you. Sip wine on the deck while you await your feast, then round things off with a spot of stargazing. The home is bright and beautiful, with double-height ceilings and huge windows that keep it light and airy. The flow of the living and dining space makes it perfect for groups, with enough space for everyone to mingle – but there are plenty of quiet corners too. It’s the kind of holiday home you plan to return to before you’ve even unpacked your bags.
