Why Stay in Southampton/Near Shinnecock Hills

Get Ready for the Excitement of the U.S. Open Championship

Your Guide to the U.S. Open: A Memorable Experience Awaits

• Proximity – Staying in Southampton or directly around Shinnecock Hills means you’re minutes away from the tournament venue, reducing travel time, traffic stress, and maximizing your time enjoying the event and region.
• Luxury + leisure – The Hamptons region offers upscale homes, beachfront or near-beach settings, excellent dining, charming village shops, and the laid-back yet refined ambiance that makes a stay feel special.
• Vacation rental market advantage – With the U.S. Open drawing large crowds, the rental market in the area will be very busy. Staying right in Southampton gives you a strategic home-base.

Tips for Booking & Planning for the U.S. Open Stay

• Book early – The homes above are likely to fill for the U.S. Open period. Reach out now and mention June 2026.
• Clarify dates & durations – Events like the U.S. Open often require a minimum stay and may have premium pricing for the tournament window.
• Transportation & parking – Staying in Southampton means less driving; ask us about parking, shuttle options, and best arrival/departure times.
• Ask about amenities – Especially for event week: pool heating, outdoor spaces, comfort features (AC, Wi-Fi), and how accessible the property is for event logistics. Some homes (like the lake-front one) may offer quieter stays, great for decompressing after event days; others (pool/hot tub/beach) bring full luxury for the stay.
• Consider your schedule – You’ll attend the tournament, but you’ll also want some downtime: beaches, local restaurants, village walks. Choose a property that lets you pivot between event and leisure.
• Budget for premium – Expect elevated rates for the U.S. Open period + possible extra fees (pool heating, hot tub, cleaning).
• Confirm proximity/travel to venue – Even staying in Southampton, check how long it will take to get to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on event days (traffic will be heavier).
• Reserve your home first, then tickets: Secure your vacation rental so you have the stay sorted, then lock in tournament tickets.

Attending the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills is more than just about golf — it’s an experience. By securing one of these Southampton-area homes via Luxury Beach Getaway, you’ll position yourself for both front-row tournament access and a top-tier Hamptons experience.

You’ll want these all to yourself

The North Fork is a place of pause. While the Hamptons hum with energy, the North Fork whispers—drawing in those who seek privacy, unspoiled views and a quieter kind of beauty. At Luxury Beach Getaway, we guide our guests toward experiences that feel personal. These lesser-known beaches offer room to breathe, uninterrupted moments and a sense of discovery that can’t be found in a crowd.

1. Bailie Beach Park, Mattituck

Set high above the Sound, this bluff-top beach is often overlooked. The shore stretches wide with driftwood and dunes. On most days, you’ll have it nearly to yourself.

2. Truman’s Beach, East Marion

A small, pebbled beach just off Route 25. It’s easy to miss, which is exactly why you’ll love it. The water is clear, the views are wide and the pace is wonderfully slow.

3. Nassau Point Beach, Cutchogue

Located at the tip of Nassau Point, this quiet bay beach is known for calm water and soft sand. It’s ideal for an early swim or a late-afternoon nap in the shade.

4. Klipp Park (Gull Pond Beach), Greenport

With gentle waves and a grassy approach, this tucked-away beach offers a relaxed atmosphere perfect for families or solo sunseekers. Bring a book, leave the schedule.

5. Kenney’s Beach, Southold

Just off a winding road near the heart of town, Kenney’s Beach is an easygoing place to swim, walk or simply sit and listen. There’s something comforting about its simplicity.

6. Goldsmith’s Inlet, Peconic

A rare find. The inlet connects to a broad stretch of Sound-side beach. Here, shallow currents meet quiet coves. It’s a lovely spot for nature walks or barefoot exploration.

7. Orient Beach State Park (the unmarked cove)

Venture beyond the designated beach and walk along the shoreline trail. Around a bend, you’ll find a hidden crescent of sand bordered by trees and still water. Few ever go that far.

8. Town Beach, Southold

A locals’ favorite. The long stretch of shoreline is ideal for morning strolls or an evening glass of wine. It’s low-key, unfussy and often blissfully empty.

9. Cedar Beach, Southold

Waves roll in gently over polished pebbles. There are tidal pools at low tide and some of the best sunset views in the region. Bring a blanket and stay through dusk.

10. Norman E. Klipp Marine Park, Greenport

Don’t let the name fool you. Beyond the marina, there’s a peaceful beach with soft sand and a view of Shelter Island. It’s a quiet place to unwind just a short drive from town.

Let the Beach Come to You

Many of these beaches are steps from our Luxury Beach Getaway vacation rentals. Others are a scenic drive through quiet roads and vineyard-lined hills. We’ll help you find the right one for the kind of day you have in mind. Need a beach setup or local picnic delivery? Just ask.

Here are three great examples:

Respite Ranch

This newly renovated ranch-style home features a large 9ft deep saltwater pool, hot tub, covered patio with gas grill. Tucked along the North Fork and located on a serene cul de sac, you’re a short drive away from Breakwater Beach. 

Peconic Sound Beach Home

Lavender Fields Retreat

Situated in East Marion, this home backs up to the lavender farm, Lavender by the Bay, and is a short walk to the Association beach.

Discover the North Fork’s Effortless Charm

GQ highlights why the North Fork is a must-visit destination, from its thriving wine scene to its laid-back coastal vibes.

“The Hamptons in the summer is like Midtown Manhattan on New Year’s Eve…But there’s another kind of summer weekend out there, and it’s not that far off. Actually, exactly as far as the Hamptons: just two-and-a-half hours’ drive from Manhattan, Long Island’s less-travelled North Fork (the Hamptons makes up the South Fork) has become the cooler peninsula. 

At various times dubbed the Hamptons’ “country cousin” and the “Brooklyn of Long Island,” it’s known by the easy-going locals as NoFo. Chill holidaymakers are drawn to the former farmland’s waterfront wineries, tucked-away beaches, boutiquey design stores and roadside farm stands. Even with a slew of upscale new openings, the North Fork has managed to maintain a vibe that’s unapologetically relaxed…”
