Casual elegance, by far the best Hamptons rental
Review Submitted: July 15, 2009

When we visit a town as unique as East Hampton, we want to stay in a place that is equally unique. Tom and Judith’s East Hampton “Cottage” is such a place and surpasses every other house we have ever rented. From the time you enter the long winding drive, and approach the beautiful English cottage gardens, you’ll immediately feel the warmth, grace, and charm of the East Hampton lifestyle in a way that no luxury hotel could ever do. Having six-year old triplets is a daunting task and taking them to upscale hotels and fine restaurants is not something that is practical or affordable; nor is it interesting to them, which is our primary concern. So, for the past few years, we’ve chosen to rent a house, where the children could do all of the things they are used to doing…a “home away!” My wife and I met and fell in love in East Hampton and this truly unique “slice of heaven” holds fond memories for us both. So it is only fitting that we introduce our children to this “paradise.” While we have been disappointed with previous rentals that are less than clean with cheap furnishings, Tom and Judith’s house is truly a home and what you see online…well, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. A beautifully flowing interior with generously proportioned bedrooms, all appointed in a casually elegant style. A beautiful country kitchen and a pantry stocked with all of the things you would need (mixing bowls, plastic wrap…nothing has been overlooked). From the handcream at the kitchen sink; shampoo, conditioner and soap in every bath; ample linens and great mattresses, you will immediately sense that these are kind people that truly care about their guests and treat them as “family.” I had the pleasure of meeting with Tom (Judith was away during our stay), who cared about our comfort and is just a great guy! This is not a typical “rental” property – it is clearly a cherished home. We felt privileged to visit and are grateful to the owners for their gracious hospitality, genuine concern and kindness.
