A Waterfront Summer in Westhampton

There's something about Westhampton that hits different. It's quieter than Southampton, more grounded than East Hampton, but still close enough to everything that makes a Hamptons summer feel complete. The village is walkable, the beaches are minutes away, and the rhythm here feels a little slower—in the best way.

This summer, I have a waterfront condo available at Westhampton Landings that captures exactly what I love about this part of the East End. It's not about square footage or marble countertops (though it's beautiful inside). It's about waking up to sunrise over the Moneybogue Canal, having your kayak ready at the dock, and knowing the village is 900 feet from your door.

A Year Worth Celebrating

Last week, we found out we'd been recognized at Douglas Elliman's annual Ellies awards, and honestly, we're still processing it.

#1 in Rental GCI. #2 in Rental Transactions. Top 5 in Transactions overall. Top 10 in GCI. Top 15 in Volume. Diamond status, which puts us in the top 6% company-wide.

These aren't just numbers on a plaque (though the plaque is nice). They represent 125+ transactions in 2025. Families who found their place here. Renters who spent their first summer in the Hamptons. Buyers who took the leap from visiting to belonging.

Your Shelter Island Summer: A Local Guide to Staying, Eating, and Exploring

Shelter Island is quietly becoming one of my favorite summer escapes—and I'm watching it happen in real time.

What makes it different from the rest of the Hamptons? The pace. The moment you step off the ferry, everything slows down. There's no scene to keep up with, no reservations you had to book three months out, no pressure to be anywhere but exactly where you are. It's boat life at its finest—mornings on the water, afternoons that stretch, evenings that settle in easy.

And yet, you're not isolated. A quick ferry ride puts you in the North Fork for vineyard days or Sag Harbor for marina life and more dining options. Shelter Island gives you range without the noise. It's an idyllic summer spot that still feels unspoiled.

If you've been thinking about a Shelter Island summer, here's your blueprint.

Watching 149 Accabonac Road Take Shape

There are properties you list, and then there are properties you fall in love with.

149 Accabonac Road is the latter.

We sold this 1930s cottage to its current owners, and over the past months, we've had the privilege of watching them transform it into something truly special. Not a teardown-and-rebuild. Not a gut job that erases everything that made it charming in the first place. A restoration—thoughtful, intentional, and deeply respectful of what this home has always been.
