Mecox Bay Hotels

"We had an absolutely exceptional stay at Head of the Pond in Water Mill, and I cannot say enough about the experience, particularly the care and attention brought by Monika, the owner. We stayed in the two-bedroom cottage by the pond, and from the moment we arrived, it was clear this property is operated at a level far beyond a typical bed and breakfast. The cottage was in pristine condition—immaculately clean, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully appointed with all the amenities you would expect from a fine hotel. Every detail felt intentional. What truly set this stay apart was the fully stocked kitchen, complete with an abundant supply of quality food and drinks. It’s a level of generosity and hospitality you rarely encounter. These are the kinds of touches that guests remember and that bring them back. Monika clearly runs this property with pride and integrity. Unlike many businesses that begin with high standards but gradually cut corners, she has remained committed to doing things the right way. It shows in every aspect of the experience—from the condition of the accommodations to the overall atmosphere of care and comfort. A special note for those considering when to visit: winter in the Hamptons is a hidden gem. While it may be chilly, the beauty and tranquility of the area remain, and you have the added benefit of enjoying a luxurious stay."

"Overall it was a great stay! Best part of the cottage was the bathroom with its deep big tub and walk in shower. But the room itself lacked visual appeal & some conveniences usually associated with booking a cottage which is more private and removed from the house. Could use more and better art in the room. I would also trade all the storage space for a mini fridge, tea kettle or coffee maker. Also the only full-size mirror is hidden far back in the bathroom which isn’t terrible but very inconvenient to check the outfit before heading out the door. It’s little odd things that just made it not feel like a luxury stay. And no one mentioned to us beforehand that the sauna, gym, pool area (even though in off season) was under renovation and not available to use. The restaurant was amazing though, room service was wonderful. And staff were adorable. But I don’t know if we would book again tbh. "

"We are from out of town and had a wedding to attend in Bridgehampton. We decided to rent this cute home because of it's location (which was excellent) and we liked the fact that each of the three bedrooms had it's own bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are quite large and comfortable. The third bedroom is considerably smaller but had a queen bed and still fit our needs.A short 8 minute walk puts you right into the town of Southhampton with great shopping and restaurants. Both days we walked to the beach to get exercise. It's a little over 1.5 miles each way. Our host, Pam was very accommodating and responsive. We loved how there were many thoughtful details throughout the house to make her guests feel comfortable. She had a stocked coffee bar area, extra toiletries, hair dryers, multiple irons, equipment for games and activities etc. I would definitely recommend staying here."
