“The 1708 House on Main St. in Southampton is more like a cross between a luxury getaway and a museum.”

NY Times
“Was it an uncanny instinct or fate that led them to their discovery of the rambling old house on main street?”

“The best restoration ever!” “1st Wedding Anniversary, we’ll be back next year.” “Our house in the Hamptons.” “We came as strangers and left as friends.”

Guest Book Comments
“1708 House, 126 Main St., Next to Saks. This is, without a question, the premier B+B in the Hamptons.”
The Hamptons Survival Guide
“Worth the wait is an understatement. Walking from room to charming room, the attention to detail is mind boggling. The floors gleam, the windows sparkle, the beds seem plumped to fairy tale proportions.”
Hamptons Magazine

Southampton


Southampton is close enough to the beach but just far enough to escape heavy summer tourist crowds. The historic coastal town of Southampton is home to vast stretches of farmland, fun beaches like Flying Point Beach, and a quaint downtown area equipped with a weekly farmers market and cute boutiques.

I personally liked to spend time at the Southampton estate-like public library to work remotely outside without much noise. The downtown shopping area receives far fewer tourists than nearby Amagansett and was another favorite place of mine to walk my pup.

The drive from Southampton to Montauk is approximately 1 hour, so keep this in mind when planning where to stay in Long Island. I recommend staying at a hotel with a swimming pool like The Bentley Hotel Southampton in the hot summer months.

Pros of Staying in Southampton:

  • Away from noisy tourist crowds
  • More affordable hotels
  • Plenty of spaces to work remotely

Cons of Staying in Southampton:

  • Far from some top Long Island surf beaches
  • Not as many tourist attractions are available
  • There can be New York City traffic
