There's two ways to get to Sunset Beach and one of them usually includes a lengthy wait along a rural road for the charming ferry that carries guests to Shelter Island. The other is a far-chicer way, namely StndAIR, and a zippy 45-minute seaplane flight from Manhattan's East River that's one of the most unique ways you'll ever arrive to the Hamptons. Upon landing on Peconic Bay, a quintessential beach compound on 20 rooms comes into sight along sandy Crescent Beach. A clientele of fashionable hipsters and Standard Hotel lovers ascertain a more charming weekend experience in the slightly removed location of Shelter Island that in recent years has grown to include a handful of new hotel and restaurant properties. The best, however, is still located within the hotel offering South of France styling and all-day brasserie menu with bar along a lively strip of stand privy to toned summertime bodies and occasional lunchtime celebrity sighting.
The Room
The property is comprised of a singular row of three-story guest pavilion with balconies colored with striped awnings and well-manicured grounds. Inside, guest rooms offer sedate and spare styling with slipcovered white chairs and sofas accented in the occasional pop of color on accent chairs and pillows. Luxury lovers will want to book a Deluxe King room or higher offering prime high-floor location as well as small terrace with sea view. All rooms feature linen duvets and down pillows as well as Kiehl’s bath products and gourmet mini-bars. Additional perks of the property include a dog-friendly hotel policy as well as complimentary bicycles available throughout a weekend stay.
