There's nothing like summer in the Hamptons, which spans the South Fork of Long Island from Eastport to Montauk. The Hamptons is known for its incredible beaches along the Atlantic coast, glimmering sunsets, and sublime shops, restaurants, and farmers' markets. Though some parts seem to operate on “island time,” others are lively enough for night owls. Whether you're looking for a restorative getaway or days spent hopping from one beach club to the next, there is something for everyone. While we do have some favorite hotels in the area—like the chic Marram Montauk or relaxing Shou Sugi Ban House—sometimes you want more space to accommodate a large family, bachelor or bachelorette party, or a couples vacation. Booking a vacation rental can offer more privacy and independence than other accommodations and have competitive amenities. From state-of-the-art kitchens for large family dinners, pools to teach the kiddos to swim, or deep soaking tubs and saunas for a spa retreat—these 10 Airbnbs in the Hamptons will be everything you are looking for and more. Plus, plenty of them throw in a few bikes, some beach chairs, or a paddleboard for your use, too.

To note, these homes do book up fast—sometimes months before the summer season starts—so start looking as soon as possible. Here are 10 of the best Airbnbs in the Hamptons.

A quiet escape in Sag Harbor
Bed & bath: 2 bedroom, 2 baths
Top amenities: Close to Sag Harbor golf course, TV with streaming services, cleaning is available during your stay
If you and your party are looking for total seclusion, this rental sits on two acres (and is surrounded by 42 more acres) of preserved land. This gem is completely immersed in nature and has a long driveway that hides you from the nearest neighbor sighting. It's great for a romantic getaway or a solo trip where city dwellers can disconnect and (literally and figuratively) touch some grass. The two bedrooms overlook the heavily wooded forest, a king and queen-sized bed, and lightweight duvet quilting to get you through a restful night’s sleep.

A chic renovated row house in Sag Harbor
Bed & bath: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths
Top amenities: Toiletries, a bookshelf with a variety of reading material, board games
This fully renovated Captain row house has sat across from Otter Pond since the 1850s. Though it has undergone some changes, the host has kept the original bare bones of the house, but upgraded the amenities. Enjoy vibrant pops of color and natural lighting throughout the home. From the living room to the three bedrooms (a king, queen, and double), you’ll find chic decor that livens up every room. The Airbnb has children’s dinnerware, toys, and games making this a super family-friendly option during the summer.

A modern retreat in Southhampton
Bed & bath: 4 bedrooms, 4 baths
Top amenities: Sonos sound equipment, fireplace, beach essentials
This is an ideal rental for a few couples that are traveling together—everyone is able to be close in the shared spaces but the bedrooms (two kings and two queens) are set farther apart and offer more privacy. There is a certain coziness to the rental that can often only be seen in cabins. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a full view of the surrounding trees and let in an ever-abundant amount of natural light. Guests can soak up even more of the environment when they take a dip in the pool or enjoy a backyard barbecue. While we imagine you’ll want to do laps up and down the rectangular pool, the Airbnb is a short five-minute drive from bay beaches with pristine ocean views.

A six-bedroom home in East Hampton
Bed & bath: 6 bedrooms, 5 baths
Top amenities: Bikes, sauna, gym
Wedding season has started, but if you’re still trying to hammer out bachelor or bachelorette party details take a look at this rental. It has the amenities of a small-scale resort: a well-equipped gym with a Peloton bike, six bedrooms (three kings, two queens, and one single), a private pool with a covered seating area, and a sauna located in one of the two living rooms (yes, two living rooms). When you’re not lounging by the pool or arguing over the rules for Uno in one of the living rooms, you can find repose on the front porch swings and soak up the sun and quiet.

Stunning views on Shinnecock Hills
Bed & bath: 4 bedrooms, 3 baths
Top amenities: Double sink vanity, wet bar, sub-zero refrigerator
This rental has one of the best views in Hampton Hilltop, the upper balcony has lounge chairs so you can relax and take in the sunrises and sunsets over the span of Dune Road beaches. If the panoramic views strike a need for the beach, head down the path to the private one near the Airbnb. Lounging in the sun will work up anyone’s appetite—the kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances, gas stoves, heating lamps, a sub-zero refrigerator, and two dishwashers, exactly what we’d expect from a kitchen built by, and for, a master chef.

A beach barn in Water Mill
Bed & bath: 4 bedrooms, 2 baths
Top amenities: Barbecue grill, baby safety gates, beach access
This four-bedroom home has one of our favorite Airbnb pools, thanks to its size, the sun lounger-covered patio (which has replaced the deck, pictured), and huge grassy areas for post-pool games. Pet- and family-friendly, the beach barn features three living rooms for spreading out indoors, multiple workspaces for remote meetings, and a fully equipped kitchen for meals in. Plus, if you're looking to head off-property, the beach is just 10 minutes away and you're equidistant from both Southampton and Bridgehampton.

Modern three-bedroom home in Water Mill
Bed & bath: 3 bedroom, 3 baths
Top amenities: Patio, fully-equipped kitchen, private pool
And you thought only hotels had rooftop pools. This modern home within five minutes of Southampton has its own rooftop hideaway, complete with a petite heated pool and partially shaded lounging area. Inside, you'll find simply designed bedrooms (we call the one with the oversized birds of paradise plant), a cozy living and dining area, and a modern kitchen. But that's not all: Head out the backdoor for even more lounge chairs to bask in, a grill and outdoor dining area, and a pond to explore.

Three-bedroom farmhouse in East Hampton
Bed & bath: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths
Top amenities: Heated saltwater pool, pack n' play, beach chairs
At this farmhouse about 10 minutes from the beach, it's all about space. With three bedrooms (one of which has two queens for the kids), a light-filled kitchen, and spacious living and dining areas, there's room for the whole family—and that's only the inside. Outside, you'll find a large deck with its own living and dining area, a 40-foot-long pool with sun loungers, and an expanse of grassy backyard with a swing set. Let the host know if you're coming with kids, as they have a play kitchen, pack n' play, baby safety gates, and even a baby bath available upon request.

Waterfront home on Three Mile Harbor
Bed & bath: 3 bedrooms, 3 baths
Top amenities: Kayaking, charcoal grill, private deck
If you're looking for a rental that blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor living, this spot with direct access to Three Mile Harbor does exactly that. With floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors in the open living-kitchen area that lead out onto the patio (complete with a small pool) and bedrooms with views of the quiet bay outside, the home is the perfect place to get away, without being too far from the action. (Amagansett and East Hampton are within a 10-minute drive.) You'll have access to bikes during your stay, but may want to stop by nearby Paddle Divas or Khanh Sports to rent kayaks or stand-up paddleboards to explore the bay by water.
