Get the Look: The Off-Season Beach Hotel

The holidays may be upon us, but give me a well-designed coastal hotel and I'll pick seaside stripes and salty dogs over tartan throws and hot cider any day of the week. If you haven't already fawned over our recent feature on American Beech—hands down the cutest hotel on Long Island's North Fork —now's the time to check it out (and book a room). The retreat's seafaring style is downright contagious, leaving us itching to hang white sailor's rope from the ceiling and throw ticking stripe pillows onto every piece of furniture. See how you can get the look yourself, and hold on to that endless summer mentality all winter long.
