Bring your boat and pack your paddle board because this condo on the banks of Shinnecock Bay comes with a private dock and communal boat slip. Here, days on the water are a given – spend your time bobbing in a canoe, kayaking along the coast or, if you prefer more action-packed adventures, try jet skiing in the sea. When you're not sailing the waves, while away laid-back afternoons in the shared heated pool or bask in the bayfront setting on the patio, a glass of wine from a nearby vineyard in hand. Inside, this chic and cosy home is the perfect retreat from the sun. Decked out in shades of cream and white with lots of coastal influence, it oozes iconic Hamptons style. Rustle up a seafood dish in the compact but well-stocked kitchen, gather on the plump sofa for a post-dinner flick, then snuggle up in the comfortable bedrooms for a good night's sleep – we know the kids will love climbing into those bunks. Elsewhere, you'll have wide, sandy shores within easy reach – Cooper's Beach is about ten minutes by car. Also a short drive away is the historic village of Southampton, home to some fantastic restaurants, local art galleries and fashionable boutiques.
