Bottom Line

This elegant B&B in East Hampton is exactly what its name suggests: a house full of art. It was designed and decorated by the owners, Michael and Rosalind, who combine mutual talents in art and hospitality. There are only four rooms for rent, but there are all the amenities of a larger property, including endless communal spaces, an outdoor pool, and fitness center. Although big in scope, the Art House retains all of the personalized charm of staying with friends, making it a distinctive option in the Hamptons -- though it comes at a high price.

Oyster Hotel Review

East Hampton Art House Bed and Breakfast

Scene

This year-round villa is meant for seclusion and relaxation

The Art House is owned by two artists who live on the property. The home itself is kept both spotless and comfortable at the same time, and serves as a functional gallery of their art. The spaciousness of the property allows for relaxation in a number of ways -- a large outdoor lap pool, fragrant lavender garden, Jacuzzi with waterfall feature, tree-covered surroundings, and a beautiful peaceful beach nearby. Because the property only has two rooms, it often feels more like your own private Hamptons home than renting a room for a short getaway.
