Send a gift to a vacation rental in The Hamptons
Hamptons rentals are quieter than the beach reads suggest. A renovated farmhouse on Sagaponack, a cottage in Springs, a private home near Georgica Pond — guests arrive after the LIE and want, more than anything, to land.
What fits, here
- Wild blueberry jam from a North Fork farm, on a Carissa’s loaf
- A Byredo Sundazed candle for the late-June evenings
- Aesop Resurrection hand cream by the kitchen sink
- A book by a Long Island writer — E. L. Doctorow, Plath, or someone newer
- A Byredo Tobacco Mandarin candle for the porch
An arrival scene
A Friday evening in June. A family arriving at a rented farmhouse for a long weekend.
- A small jar of blueberry jam, a butter dish, a half-loaf of bread on a board
- A short stack of cards from the gifter, sealed, with each child’s name on one
- A drawn map of the bay beach versus the ocean beach, with notes
- A bottle of cold white wine in the fridge, with a card
Bay first, ocean tomorrow. The bread is from Carissa’s. The wine is from the North Fork.
Walks
- Atlantic Avenue Beach at low tide — long, flat, almost always quieter than expected.
- Sagg Main and back, with a coffee at Provisions on the way through Sag Harbor.
- Mecox Bay at sunset, on the bay side — calmer than the ocean, the egrets stay late.
