A Room at the Beach

I’ve been staying at A Room at the Beach since it opened and it’s been a joy watching it constantly improve in quality and elegance. Each room is stocked with the comfiest robes and softest slippers. Each room has its own back garden, intentionally planted to look natural while also providing privacy. And each room has seating in the front, where you can sit and enjoy the property’s majestic redwoods over a glass of rosé. There are coolers stocked with wine and other drinks for guests to take placed up and down the deck. In terms of design the bedrooms combine classic elements of Hamptons beach style with thoughtful and compelling contemporary artistry. The hotel owners know some of the artist with pieces on display personally and some of them are for sale. The items in each minibar, though, are complementary. By the pool there is an Airstream and a pergola where the hotel often hosts different aestheticians — massage therapists, chiropractors, facialists etc. There are also bikes available to borrow, which can be clutch during times of high traffic during summer weekends. If you want to leave the property on foot, downtown Bridgehampton is a short walk away, offering plenty of options for eating and drinking. This is a place for people who enjoy the Hamptons not just because it’s become a scene, but because it’s naturally beautiful. Over the years, A Room on the Beach has built on that, while constantly elevating its offerings and treating guests with kindness and conscientiousness. The Hamptons are lucky to have it, and you would be lucky to stay there.

A spontaneous, last-minute girls’ trip turned into something truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, I felt a sense of awe—and by the time we left, I felt completely restored. This stay gave me exactly what I didn’t even realize I needed. A room by the beach—there is only one word to describe it: magical. Every detail, from arrival to departure, was flawless. The complimentary rosé and thoughtful snacks set the tone immediately, the room was immaculate, and the atmosphere was pure serenity. What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional customer service. Every interaction was warm, attentive, and genuine—effortlessly anticipating our needs and making us feel genuinely welcomed. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking, and it’s impossible not to feel that this place is created with love and intention. You can sense the care, the curation, and the soul behind every detail—it’s what turns a beautiful hotel into an unforgettable experience. Cannot wait to return !

I’ve been traveling my entire adult life. From hostels to high rises and everything in between. My experience at ARATB was bar none the best hospitality I’ve ever received. They accommodated some last minute travel conflicts and helped me make it to my friend wedding in the nick of time! The rooms are perfectly decorated to feel unique and cozy but not overdone. The floor plan is extremely clever because they utilize a slat wall to separate the bathroom area from the room, with the tv mounted flush. This design eliminates wasted space and creates a circular flow to the room which made it feel much more spacious. The rules were lax, in that they let adults be adults as long as they act like adults. The staff was attentive and the amenities in my room were luxurious and some were even complimentary. It’s easy to get to the Main Street in town and central to all the best beaches. Great for instagram photos too! Definitely enjoy a stay here and you won’t be disappointed. Special thank you to Angela and Jose for making me feel so at home.

This place is an outright gouge. Also that review below is definitely fake. Overall, it has the level of comfort of an airplane bathroom. It's loud (the place is right on montauk highway) and the photos do not really give you an idea of how its laid out and how far the rooms are from the street. They have windows in the doors to the rooms which have outdoor lights pouring in which do not shut off at night. We even complained and they told us they could not shut them off or had any way to cover the windows. It was so far from being an acceptable level of darkness for a night sleep that it was offensive. There is, as others note, not even the scantest amount of space to put anything down from a toiletry bag to luggage. You can't hang a towel anywhere. Every square inch of space in this room is already taken up by something. For example, we had dresser so loaded with crap they are trying to sell you on trays - from art, to collegen supplements, to whatever other useless overpriced baubles they think you may buy- that you could not even use the furniture. They have an entire MENU of stuff they leave on this dresser with stuff they hope you buy. I paid for a hotel room not a checkout counter at a grocery store. This was ridiculous for $1,000 a night and I did not book a hotel room to try and be some captive audience. Never, ever again. PS - For those who do not look at the map, the beach is over an hour walk away. So this is no more a room at the beach than my place in manhattan is a house in the NJ suburbs.

Stella on the reservations team is an absolute gem and so helpful, kind, and warm to deal with. She is a wonderful reflection of the property and just want to shout her out. Thank you Stella for all of your help and support. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a charming luxury vacation.

I would give this hotel 1 million stars if I could. Me and my family just stayed here for 5 days and we had the most amazing time. Not only is the property absolutely stunning… the staff is so friendly+kind. They offer free coffee+L&W pastries in the morning. The location is fantastic. We would go to The Golden Pear for breakfast and Almond for dinner. My son had so much fun playing under the redwood trees. This is truly a hidden gem. Traveling with a dog and a toddler is sometimes difficult but we felt at home+comfortable every single day. I’m very grateful to have been able to experience this magical place. Thank you for a wonderful time! We can’t wait to visit again.

Room size is sorely deficient. No place to put toiletries except on chest of drawers. Lamps on night tables were unplugged when we arrived. We plugged in and did not work. Night stand had to be used for everything. Too cramped. Coffee made by proprietor sucked but Nespresso machine in room was adequate. Rear area garden was overgrown so we could not sit in hairs without a pruning sheers to cut branches. Really deceptive advertisement for space. Really small area. Bed was good. Location good but $800 for room a night was not right when place was so small. When I asked for larger room Room size is not mentioned in website. AC blows directly on person closest to unit over window. When I asked for extra towels I had to go to “staff person” who gave to me but next day they removed the extra towels And did not replace. Breakfast was some ok muffins etc. You can hear next door guest having sex. Overall poor value but maybe that is Hamptons overpriced typical ripoff! Other than light switches. It working properly (switched plugs not indicated and staff did not plug in lamps so who the hell would know which outlet to plug into. Need I say more. When our friends asked where we were staying we had a good laugh because they knew how small the place was with no room to sit, drink coffee or eat the ok but not great muffins they gave us for breakfast. Also getting anything you asked for too a good while so if you expect real service forgetaboutit!

This review is long overdue. I spent a few weeks at A Room At The Beach end of last summer 2021 for work and I must say I have nothing but good things when I speak on my experience. The staff was very helpful and sweet. Very accommodating. Rooms were clean and always set up nicely. Check in was easy and stress free. I’m definitely thinking of coming back this summer just to spend time in the area again!

My husband, fur babies, and I just spent a few days over July 4th at A Room at the Beach. It is a serene boutique hotel run by wonderful, kind, generous and friendly people. I submitted a review on another review site but am brand new to it and wanted to add a little bit more and share my thoughts also on Yelp. I believe there are only ten rooms and that is fine with me. While in my room I never heard a peep from the other rooms. That was very impressive! I don't remember the last time I stayed in a hotel where that was the case. I know I heard ambulances but I think that was when I was outside. It didn't bother me. We could hear some of the fireworks from the beach but they were not that loud and didn't last for long. Lucy and Charles have about as much control over that as they do the weather. I'm not one who likes to be outdoors too much but I think I could spend all day under the trees reading a book. It's calming. Even if I didn't have a book to read I would find it calming listening to one of the fountains and watching the robot lawnmower. I'm rarely at ease never mind relaxed and I feel safe saying I was here. Do NOT be like me and overpack! The rooms are not the size of $3,000/night multi-room suites in Vegas but Lucy and Charles have utilized the space (of room nine at least) in an amazing way. At no point did I ever feel claustrophobic and I have a bit of that. Bring a little clothes steamer and you won't have to worry about unpacking and packing. I ALWAYS bring Charmin with me because every single place I go has cheap toilet paper. No one needs to pack their own Charmin because they have Charmin and I won't be bringing my own next time. If you're thirsty there's complimentary water. If water is not your thing and you are over 21, there is complimentary rosé. Parking is free. I'm looking forward to going back again! If it was this beautiful in the summer I cannot even imagine what it's going to be like in the fall!

We REALLY want to like this place and support their business, but the top-level management is abysmal at communication and resolution...and we haven't even arrived! I have, in writing, an email stating a sizable refund due to us related to a change in the reservation. I have been waiting over two weeks for something I was told across two other dates, on two different occasions, would be resolved within 24 hours. I understand we all have been dealing with serious weather issues lately, and maybe that caused a delay, but it's not an excuse for obvious unprofessionalism and disregard from management or ownership. PRO-TIP...the gentlemen who spoke with me on the phone the other day, as one of their managers, told me "because of COVID," they no longer make rate adjustments for reschedules...it's a 1:1 night swap, regardless of a rate change. Hmmm. I'm not sure of the logic, given how wildly rates change in the Hamptons fluctuate BUT, it brings up a great opportunity. If this is their corporate policy, you should book during the off-season while this night-to-night swap is in effect and then reschedule for the summer. You will save thousands!

I cannot say enough great things about this hotel. It exceeded every expectation I had going into the weekend. The grounds had the most incredible decor, creating the best atmosphere for our group. The amenities were unique -- you don't find many lodging options providing bicycles or beach passes. The staff was the most hospitable & accommodating -- it's not everyday that ownership will give you a call just to get to know you. The location was optimal -- a stone's throwaway from village-center, a bike ride away from Ocean Road Beach, and a quick drive to either Sag Harbor, Wolffer Wine Stand, Pox Golf Course, etc. The cleanliness, the quality, the cuteness, the price, and everything else in between were all impeccable. ARATB was the picture-perfect venue to the be the backdrop for my engagement weekend. I cannot wait to be back and be reminded of my favorite memories and to create brand new ones.

This place is such a gem. My only compliant is I didn't stay long enough! Angela was amazing at check in and throughout the stay. We had the pool to ourselves and the grounds were beautiful. Each room has its own front porch area and we also had private backyard through our shower. Highly suggest staying here! Would make a gorgeous wedding venue as well.

After Covid forced me to change plans, RATB agreed to schedule me for this past Friday. I arrived exhausted & Hungry & Greeted by Zoe - only when I said my name she said sorry you don't have a reservation? I did, but Zoe/Olivia did not finish my reservation like they should have. Zoe asked via email & I answered yes Via the same email to the accommodation, only (new girl) Olivia messed up by answering me and never actually made/completed the reservation! So Zoe said let me see what we can fix...after trying an owner who never answered because he was in another country - they finally decided to give us a room - *I will NEVER again stay anywhere that you can't get someone to answer a phone - ever - just an answering machine no matter how many times I called! I should never have trusted them via emails - and never will again!!! SHOCKING! Zoe's response was people make mistakes...true...but this mistake - having 2 people take the day off from work and drive 65 miles only be told sorry - we are overbooked - because someone forgot to make the promised reservation? Olivia/zoe should know this - There is only one chance to make a first impression!! Should I feel greatful they gave me a room after such an upsetting situation.. (not the one promised), maybe OR maybe not! - the room Zoe gave me was dirty, stains everywhere, the room had a terrible smell - my opinion is that it must have been from the dog next door or someone using the bathroom In the next room, (paper thin walls). With no where else to go for the night, this is what we accepted. Bad smell - now I know why there was a diffuser in the room when we walked in. awkward layout - to get to the sink you have to keep bumping into the vanity & garbage can in front of it... Also, the room is not safe in my opinion - No double lock or safety chains on doors and as I opened the door to the shower - I noticed another door to the outside on the other side of the shower!!! ????? Also, for no reason at all - we had just checked into the room she finally gave us, (after Zoe & the other reservations person couldn't get the key to work)...we had finally settled down & were "busy" - for no reason at all a staff member knocked on our door!!??? Anyone could have walked in on us!!!??? After I pulled myself together to answer - they had already walked away!!??? Never again. This was a tough learning experience- don't trust emails, don't trust that the room will be clean and look like pictures online, don't be so sure that just because they brand the room stay as luxury - doesn't mean it will be...Horrible.

I couldn't ask for anything more Angela the manager is the friendliest person who helped us with everything I can't explain how accommodating she is in fact every hotel should have a manager half as good as she is , the grounds are beautiful and great for photos. Great place in bridge Hamptons and I will surely be recommending all my friends highly recommended

This is the Most beautiful Boutique Hotel! It's a great place to soak up the simplicity and sophistication of the easy going life style of the Hamptons! Planning a special event The backdrop of the grounds make any events seem like the cover of an amazing magazine! This hotel is your next place to stay!

Brand new, top to bottom. Place is like a dream. Close to beach, town, etc. you still feel like you are secluded. Gorgeous rooms and grounds.
