Hamptons, New York (Sterling Boyd)
We had no idea how much we would love the Hamptons. We fell in love with the area, the beautiful beaches, the copious farmers markets hiding behind every bend and the cute towns full of shops and delicious places to eat.

to & from
We live in New York so for us, travel to the Hamptons includes renting a car and leaving as early as we can to catch the afternoon rays at the beach. Otherwise, fly into JFK, rent a car and head out from there. Expect around two hours depending on traffic and where you are heading.
Where to Stay
- I always think the best option in the Hamptons is to rent a home with a pool. You get your own space and can balance beach going with lounging by the pool. Try airbnb, VRBO or splurge on Kid & Coe.
- If you are going for a short stay and need a hotel, our favorite is Topping Rose House. It is perfectly located in Bridgehampton close to Sag Harbor and Southampton.
