The Villager is aptly named as it is a stone's throw from East Hampton village. I loved that I could walk to the Village restaurants, shops and theaters even when I was feeling lazy. I even biked to the beach! The home is located on a little cul-de-sac with almost no traffic, and it is very private because of the beautiful hedges and landscaping.
The house itself is stunning. It is tastefully decorated in a luxurious fashion. All the linens and bedspreads are white and crisp. The kitchen has granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, and the washer/dryer is available without having to leave the main floor. There is a bedroom, bathroom and den downstairs which provides a nice place to stash the kids, There is a bedroom and adjoining bath on the main floor which was convenient for my elderly relatives who preferred to avoid stairs. And there are three bedrooms and two baths upstairs. The bathrooms are very clean and attractive with stylish tiles and glass-enclosed showers. I also particularly appreciated the wood floors--no carpeting in this sophisticated house. Also, the living and dining rooms both open through sliding glass doors onto the beautiful backyard.
I loved sitting in the sun in the backyard having my coffee in the morning or a cocktail in the evening. It was totally private, and the landscaping was gorgeous. The pool had blue stone surrounding it, and the outdoor furniture was iron with intricate details--like I was in my own English garden! I can't say enough about the cohesion and attention to detail in this house.
Also, I must mention the terrific service I received from booking to checking in to recommendations on where to go in East Hampton. All around, I had an amazing experience at the Villager and look forward to returning again.
