3 Southampton Retreats with Bayfront Views and Modern Design

Along the water’s edge on Shinnecock Bay, this south-facing bayfront home is all about open horizons and “forever” views. Inside, a cathedral-ceiling living room centers daily life, with glass sliders framing the water beyond. The layout flows easily from an open kitchen to a formal dining area and a separate sitting room, while a dedicated office and laundry room add everyday practicality. Three bedrooms include a primary suite with its own slider to the waterside patio, plus two additional guest rooms. Outdoors, a large sunny waterfront patio sets the scene for lingering lunches, relaxed evenings, and easy entertaining. A private dock keeps boating close at hand, with swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, fishing from the bulkhead, and an outdoor shower for post-water rinses. Central air and a gas BBQ round out the setup for effortless days by the bay.
