at these East End listings.
Whether it’s the Hamptons or the North Fork, the East End of Long Island is a New York State escape that’s as much a brand as it is a region. It’s where summer dreams become reality — where pristine beaches pair with vineyards, culture, and world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Whether you seek quiet luxury or the vibrant social scene, having a place to say is the only way to truly experience life “out east.” Here are some of our favorite East End rentals available for the upcoming summer season.
The House: Breathtaking ocean beaches await single-digit minutes away from this tucked-in-the-dunes four-bedroom gem. You’ll hear the Atlantic’s waves roar at this scenic enclave, be it from the primary suite’s balcony or the amenity-laden back deck. The latter makes deciding whether to beach or not quite tough, boasting a gunite pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, and a dining table under a retractable awning. Inside, a welcoming living room keeps cozy beside a gas fireplace and melds directly into a kitchen, ideal for prepping a summer feast. Enchanting downtown Amagansett is a mere shell’s throw away, too.
The Place: Amagansett’s rural roots can’t help but grow out, fostering a prevailing sense of calm and majesty that attracted Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller during their famed summer of ‘57 stay and continues to lure notable names. After all, who doesn’t like exploring tree-lined streets or luxuriating on the Atlantic’s white sand beachfront? Downtown buzzes with an eclectic mix of shops, cafés, and restaurants, not to mention Stephen Talkhouse — a Hamptons nightlife institution.

The House: If simply looking at photos of this Bridgehampton house on the internet can inspire such feelings of calm, imagine staying there. This property feels like a self-contained universe, and its dreams of ease hit you immediately with a traditional shingled facade and columned, covered front porch. Picture-perfect calm defines the backyard. It’s a glowingly verdant retreat day or night, whether you’re beneath the porch’s ivy-covered trellis or enveloped in the vine-surrounded al fresco dining room. Vintage vibes permeate the interior — including a stately staircase and dark hardwood floors — true to the home’s c.1929 origins.
The Place: Does anyplace on the East End wield the small-town hamlet, big-time personality dichotomy better than Bridgehampton? Timeless beauty and ostentatious happenings mingle in that specific way that makes the Hamptons “the Hamptons.” Pass the day relaxing on pristine sands and still have time to spend the night filling up on cuisine at an esteemed bistro or steakhouse.

The House: Imposingly modern and eminently inviting, this East Hampton five-bed is a host with the most. Towering windows bless all 5,300 square feet with generous natural light. The only thing flowing more freely is the main level floor plan, which seamlessly weaves from living to dining to kitchen and out sliding glass doors to a wood-paneled-ceiling-covered patio. A full outdoor kitchen sits under there, steps from poolside. Off-property, relish in private community access to the white sands along Three Mile Harbor. After a long day of summering, unwind in a primary bath boasting a soaking tub, separate oversized shower, and heated floors.
The Place: It’s always fun to explore downtown while vacationing out east, especially when that downtown is East Hampton Village. Everything is on the menu here, whether part of the world-class restaurant scene or not. Indulge in fantastic luxury and boutique shopping options, let the hours slip by at the beach, or even people-watch. Within minutes of this home’s front gate, you can experience what many consider peak Hamptons.

The House: Prefer your waterfronts unrelentingly calm? This East Marion charmer is your oasis. With Marion Lake in the backyard and Gardiners Bay right across a secluded street, reaping the benefits of each’s serene swells is a snap. There’s even a mooring for your boat available on the bay side. The home itself boasts four balconies — two attached to bedrooms — meaning you’ll never lose sight of those bluish bodies. Uncover plenty to love inside, where natural light pours in from multiple angles across hardwood floors, three gas fireplaces make proceedings extra cozy, and two bathtubs let you achieve further water-based tranquility.
The Place: Make sure you go slow when you’re in East Marion. After all, it’s a way of life. Lavender fields may draw plentiful eyes and Instagram views, but this shoreline-blessed hamlet embodies picturesque quietude. Residents are only in a rush when it’s time to get on the water — no matter if it’s the bay, the sound, the lake, or the pond. Along with Orient, East Marion makes the North Fork’s low-key final frontier high-key desirable.

The House: France’s countryside may be well over 3,000 miles away, but this pâmoison-worthy Montauk Tudor embodies its spirit. Bon vivants will fall for this pastoral beauty, done up in stucco and adorned with perennial gardens. Beamed ceilings provide unyielding charm, a feeling solidified by the striking stone fireplace and sun-dappled screened-in porch. Downstairs, sliding living and dining room doors open to stone patios and walkways — ever enhancing the prolific European aura. Upstairs, the primary suite sports a private balcony overlooking the grounds, including the swimming pool surrounded by a picket fence and blooming landscapes.
The Place: If this is “The End,” suddenly things don’t seem so bad. Montauk is undoubtedly far out but undeniably worth the trip. The village is synonymous with fishing, meaning vast opportunities to cast off aboard sailing charters and an inherent trust that any restaurant’s “catch of the day” is bound to be fresh. And when it comes to scenic appeal — ocean views, breathtaking sunsets, several state parks — Montauk simply can’t be beat.

The House: Hamptons styles come and go, but the shingle-style home endures. Look no further than this c.1900 Quogue estate, as appealing as ever. Timeless elements include its stone and hardwood flooring, window shutters, and exposed ceiling and wall beams — found in spaces like the primary bedroom, the kitchen, the study, and more. The exterior shines as if lifted from a high-gloss magazine’s pages, maintaining impeccably manicured grounds and a most inviting outdoor dining room covered by a lattice of vines. A sprawling poolside stone tile patio forms an ideal spot to laze the day away — in between dips, of course.
The Place: Quogue is quiet and esteemed. For all the natural beauty of the Hamptons with none of the bustle, this hamlet must be the place. Many call it “the un-Hamptons,” but Quogue is no less sought-after. With access to creeks, bays, and the ocean — plus the Quogue Wildlife Preserve — those with any sort of outdoor-centered mindset will find something to love.

The House: Character suffuses this postmodern-style home among its leafy environs. A double-height entry foyer immediately expands to a vast open layout, the living room’s wood-burning fireplace luring like a tractor beam. The dining area stars for more formal sit-down meals, while the ample kitchen has you covered for morning coffee and pastries at its center island. These interiors flow to a yard-and-pool-overlooking screened porch, beyond suitable for activities around the clock — morning reading, afternoon naps, midnight snacks, you name it! Two more covered porches are found at the front of the house and on its left-hand side.
The Place: This surrounding area is your haven away from home. You’re in Noyack and near the border with North Sea, two hamlets showcasing the Hamptons at its bayfront, bucolic best. Downtown Sag Harbor is also a short drive away, harboring a bustling seaside community with no equal — regardless if you’re popping in for waterside dinner reservations, a weekend farmer’s market, or a tour of the Whaling Museum.

The House: Classic only begins to describe this Southampton village charmer, sited amidst verdant gardens with a brick patio and a pool. Lovely moldings, whitewashed wood floors, and a brick fireplace are awash in an abundant warmth permeating the interior. The primary bedroom has a private sun deck, affording you two layers of getting away from it all. Best of all, Southampton’s celebrated white sand beaches, located across famed Gin Lane, are a short stroll out the front door.
The Place: Southampton, established in 1640, is the oldest English settlement in New York State. Historical significance abounds, as does unimpeachable style, as does culture in the form of art galleries. For(e) the golf fanatic, this home’s location is but a short drive, literally and figuratively, from numerous courses, including the storied links of Shinnecock Hills.
