THE VIBE:

Shabby chic bungalows with a private beach.
LOCATION:

75 miles from NYC in West Hampton, NY.
ROOMS:

Bungalows range from one to two bedrooms, max 6 guests.
AMENITIES:

Outdoor showers. Bikes & stand-up paddle boards for guest use. Private beach. Several rooms overlook Moriches Bay.

This magical retreat (rentable via StayMarquis) is one of the Hamptons’ last affordable getaways, where eight adorable bungalows sit facing Moriches Bay, steps away from a private beach.

Each bungalow is connected through a series of boardwalks heading to the water, perfect for sunset watching and easy mornings on the hotel’s complimentary stand-up paddleboards. Spend afternoons at the strip of private beach accessible to guests just across the street; then head back late for an outdoor shower followed by dinner over the grill or in the bungalow kitchenettes.

Beach & Bay Bungalows is part of Stay Marquis, a boutique rental company specializing in beautiful, thoughtfully designed spaces. Offerings range from the cute & intimate @beachandbaybungalows in West Hampton to beach mansions in Montauk… to mountain houses in the Berkshires and Hudson Valley.

While you’re in town, take the hotel bikes for a spin to John Scott’s Surf Shack, or down to Cupsoque Beach for sunset stroll. (There’s a great walk just past the trailer/camping area.) Stock up on groceries before you arrive (including staples like olive oil, S&P) — it feels almost unfair to have leave the beach vibes and run to town after checking in.

Last thing of note: the Bungalows are open through October 31, potentially longer depending on weather (hellooo, off-season!)
