Nestled on a private lot in Water Mill, this spacious three-bedroom is built for sleek group stays near town and the beach. The design is endearing in its simplicity, with a palette of blacks, whites, and greens (from the tall house plants in most corners). Sunlight pours in through the many windows, which frame tall trees and the long stretch of a pool. You can take a dip in the water post-beach, use the outdoor shower, cook seafood on the grill, watch the sun lower into the horizon from the roof deck, or cozy up around the indoor fireplace. Another plus? Past guests agree that this host constantly goes the extra mile with thoughtful, unexpected gestures that make this Airbnb one of the absolute best in the region—for instance, lending visitors extra beach gear for their outings, even on tight timelines.
Due to the town’s tucked-away location, staying in Water Mill often means minimizing time spent in traffic, which equals more time in the pool for you. It’s best to travel via car to this location so you can explore efficiently, but if you choose to take the Jitney, the bus does stop right in town, and from there, you’re only a 15-minute walk away from the property.
