Dating back to the eighteenth century, it’s safe to say that The Whaler’s Cottage is steeped in history. It has a wonderful garden with lots of room for relaxing, and the interiors are stunning. It’s easy to see that Tom and Max have an eye for design. Light-filled, minimalist, and incredibly elegant, it’s the kind of place you look forward to coming home after perusing Sag Harbor or walking by the beach. Speaking of sandy stretches, you’re close to the village centre, giving you easy access to several beaches, along with lots of wonderful restaurants, shops, and bars.

About Sag Harbor

Caught between Southampton and East Hampton, the small slice of Americana that is Sag Harbor strikes a more casual note than its ritzy neighbours. Melville’s Moby Dick makes a few references to this historical harbour, and its strong maritime roots and whaling past give this town its relaxed seaside feel. Today you’ll find sailboats and even yachts in the marina, but Sag Harbor’s streets still harken back to its 18th...
