White Fences Inn in Water Mill, New York has become the absolute place to stay when visiting New York. A LOT of people are swaying away from traditional hotels and opting for private residences and small inns. Who wouldn’t want a relaxing, cozy, and homey like feeling when visiting out of town? No hustle and bustle of the big city, at White Fences Inn it’s like you are coming home!

The Innkeepers, Eric and Liz Brodar are experienced and super friendly hosts who previously owned an award winning Inn in Kennebunks, Maine. Can we say more? This Inn is loaded with all the necessities you need – chic, high glam décor, modern amenities, and a pool for those that love lounging outside.

White Fences Inn is such a welcoming place to stay and it makes you want to stay, forever! Don’t think you will be bored during your visit; there is TONS to do nearby. Take a short drive to the beach, go boutique shopping, experience world class dining, and just about everything the Hamptons has to offer. Visit multiple museums, beautiful farms or even drive by the gorgeous mega mansions where stars like Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere vacation.

My favorite part about staying at White Fences Inn is the delicious 3 course served breakfast. Everyday there is something different served, from freshly baked croissants with homemade orange honey butter, to homemade scones, Nutella banana nut muffins, berry baked oatmeal, banana sundae, and more!

Architect Stephen Morgan designed this villa to feel like a retreat with a beautiful grand view of the ocean resting atop a cliff in Mexico’s Los Cabos. The home is wrapped in a sunny yellow exterior and surrounded by lush palm trees that fit in perfectly with the home’s style and ambience.

What I love most about this Mexican villa is that everything is designed and decorated to look completely natural and seamlessly fit in with Mexico’s natural surroundings. From the grand cantera stone pillars, fountains, Vusta Flooring, rustic and woven furniture, this villa is without a doubt a gem hidden in Mexico’s gorgeous wilderness.

Designer Marshall Watson made sure to make the home as authentic as possible, paying attention to the tiniest of details. In the bedroom he included an antique Spanish trunk, abaca rug, and throughout the rest of the home he used ipe wood furnishings all purchased and handcrafted in Mexico. The stone fountain is paved and encrusted with handmade cement tiles, all from Mexico. The cream tiled flooring was the perfect choice and beautifully reflects the sun’s glare and makes the home seem even more brighter and spacious. Take a look:
