“Seaside hotel on Shelter Island with spectacular views. A tastefully renovated 1960s motel, the hotel, both intimate and lively, has a popular outdoor restaurant and bar. Each room has a private sundeck, hardwood floors and modern furnishings, and the hotel opens out onto a stunning private beach.”

Sunset Beach Hotel: Review

This boutique hotel in the Hamptons brings St Tropez to the shores of Shelter Island. Sunset Beach has a glamorous following of young movers and shakers - a Who's Who of the Hamptons on an otherwise quietly residential offshore retreat. The elite come to party in this tastefully transformed 1960s motel, where gleaming glass doors and whitewashed private sun decks lead straight down to the ocean.
