Will be there mid-June before the ocean is warm enough to swim in. Would love a nice pool to hang by and preferably a hot-tub/jacuzzi as well (not necessarliy in the room). Any recs?

The Wainscott location has a great central pool area and is convenient to both East Hampton and South.

Sorry - I guess ocean temps are all what you're used to. I grew up on Long Island and we swam in the ocean routinely as soon as the beaches opened on Memorial day. However, it's not like the hot water you get in FL - I can't swim there in the summer - I feel like a lobster being boiled.

To me - the benefit of the ocean is how cool and refreshing it is (making a day at the beach bearable). For hot water - well - that's for makng tea.

Thanks for the Enclave Inn tip, I'll look into it.

As far as ocean swimming, I must admit being a cold water wimp as I'm used to Southern California temps as a kid vacationing there and then going to Hawaii and Caribbean as an adult.

Any other recs for the hamptons/montauk?

They have a number of locations and several options from studio to villa. Several also have tennis.

lisettemac,
Have you stayed at any of these Dune Resorts properties? The Sea Crest in Amagansett looks nice. Would love to hear your opinion if you're familiar with some of them. Thanks so much!
