In Short
The setting is Fort Pond, half a mile from the beach, and this surf-themed boutique hotel seems to embrace the Montauk vibe without sacrificing elegance. While the service is attentive, the atmosphere luxurious and the experience relaxing, the target might still be those for whom "summer" is a verb. Rooms feature clean bleached walls and artwork by local artists, plus amenities like iPod docks, wireless internet and private sundecks, all of which complement the hip but easygoing vibe throughout.
