Summer calls for coastal escapes, and the journey should be as luxurious as the destination. From exclusive Hamptons estates to charming Cape Cod cottages, our premium fleet transforms your beach house road trip into an unforgettable adventure.
The Hamptons Experience
Long Island's East End represents the pinnacle of American beach culture, where sophistication meets seaside relaxation. The Hamptons' pristine beaches, world-class dining, and cultural attractions attract discerning travelers from around the globe.
East Hampton Elegance
East Hampton and Southampton demand arrival in style. Our Tesla Model Y provides silent luxury perfect for the sophisticated Hamptons scene, with ample space for beach gear, golf clubs, and designer luggage. The panoramic glass roof offers stunning views of the coastal landscape as you drive along Montauk Highway, while the electric powertrain ensures you arrive refreshed and ready to enjoy your beach house retreat.
Main Street in East Hampton offers world-class shopping from Hermès to local boutiques, while nearby ocean beaches like Main Beach and Two Mile Hollow provide pristine settings for sunbathing and swimming. The Tesla's spacious cargo area easily accommodates beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and all the essentials for perfect beach days.
Montauk's Natural Beauty
At the eastern tip of Long Island, Montauk offers a more relaxed vibe than the Hamptons proper. Visit the iconic Montauk Point Lighthouse, surf at Ditch Plains Beach, or enjoy fresh seafood at Gosman's Dock. The drive along Montauk Highway showcases dramatic ocean views and rolling farmland, making the journey as memorable as the destination.
Hamptons Dining Scene
From casual clam shacks to Michelin-level establishments, the Hamptons offer exceptional dining. Reserve tables early at destinations like Nick & Toni's in East Hampton, or enjoy sunset cocktails at Duryea's Lobster Deck in Montauk. Our vehicles provide reliable transportation for wine-paired dinners without designated driver concerns when paired with our chauffeur service.
Cape Cod Classic Routes
Cape Cod's 400 miles of coastline offer endless beach house possibilities, from family-friendly Nauset Beach to exclusive Chatham estates. The Cape's distinctive character comes from its historic villages, each with unique charm and attractions.
Route 6A - The Old King's Highway
This scenic coastal route through the Cape's north side passes through seven historic villages, each offering distinct character and attractions. Our premium sedans provide comfortable transportation for antiquing in Sandwich (America's oldest town on Cape Cod), gallery browsing in Brewster, and upscale dining in Chatham.
Stop at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dennis, explore the historic Crosby Mansion in Brewster, or browse the Sandwich Glass Museum's remarkable collection. The Old King's Highway is a designated National Historic District, with countless colonial-era homes and churches lining the route.
Outer Cape Adventures
The Cape Cod National Seashore protects 40 miles of pristine beaches and coastal landscapes. Visit Coast Guard Beach in Eastham or Marconi Beach in Wellfleet for dramatic dune-backed beaches with excellent swimming and surfing. The bike trails throughout the National Seashore offer opportunities for active exploration between beach sessions.
Provincetown Adventure
The spirited tip of the Cape calls for our premium vehicles to navigate the narrow streets of this artistic seaside community. Provincetown's vibrant arts scene, exceptional restaurants, and beautiful beaches create an unforgettable destination. Walk Commercial Street for galleries, shops, and people-watching, then retreat to your beach house rental with our comfortable, air-conditioned transportation.
Don't miss a whale watching excursion from MacMillan Pier – Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary offshore offers some of the Atlantic's best humpback whale viewing. Book sunset harbor cruises or Provincetown's famous drag shows for evening entertainment.
Newport Mansion Tours
Rhode Island's opulent "cottages" offer fascinating glimpses into Gilded Age excess. These stunning estates deserve appropriate transportation befitting their grandeur.
The Breakers
Cornelius Vanderbilt's 70-room Italian Renaissance palazzo overlooks the Atlantic from the Cliff Walk. Our luxury sedan service ensures you arrive at this National Historic Landmark with the dignity the mansion demands. The Great Hall's 50-foot ceilings and the ornate Morning Room showcase the era's breathtaking craftsmanship.
Marble House and The Elms
Tour multiple mansions in a single day with our flexible vehicle services. Marble House's $11 million construction cost (in 1892 dollars) included 500,000 cubic feet of marble, while The Elms' preserved servants' quarters offer insight into estate operations. Valet service available for premium experiences at mansion special events.
Newport Beaches and Cliff Walk
Between mansion tours, enjoy Newport's beautiful beaches. Easton's Beach (First Beach) offers a classic beach pavilion and gentle waves, while Sachuest Beach (Second Beach) attracts surfers with consistent swells. The 3.5-mile Cliff Walk combines natural beauty with architectural marvels, offering free public access past mansion rear facades.
Jersey Shore Escapes
Cape May Victorian Charm
America's oldest seaside resort combines pristine beaches with the nation's largest collection of Victorian architecture. Our vehicles provide comfortable transportation from NYC to this National Historic Landmark city, where pastel-painted "gingerbread" houses line quiet streets just blocks from the beach.
Rent bikes to explore the flat, walkable town, visit the Cape May Lighthouse, or take sunset cruises to spot dolphins. The town's exceptional restaurant scene features fresh seafood and farm-to-table cuisine showcasing southern New Jersey's agricultural bounty.
Long Beach Island
LBI's 18-mile barrier island offers diverse beach communities from family-friendly Surf City to upscale Harvey Cedars. The island's relatively quiet beaches and excellent dining attract sophisticated travelers seeking alternatives to the Hamptons or Cape Cod. Our Tesla Model Y provides ample space for beach equipment, fishing gear, and provisions for extended stays.
Maine Coast Retreats
Kennebunkport Elegance
This picturesque coastal village combines rocky coastlines, sandy beaches, and exceptional dining. Walker's Point, summer home to the Bush family, anchors this exclusive community where lobster shacks coexist with fine dining establishments. Our premium vehicles handle the 90-minute drive from Boston comfortably, arriving at your beach house rental refreshed.
Ogunquit's Marginal Way
The paved 1.25-mile Marginal Way cliff path offers stunning ocean views connecting Ogunquit's downtown to Perkins Cove. This quintessential Maine village combines beautiful Ogunquit Beach (often rated America's best) with outstanding restaurants and art galleries. Summer theater at the historic Ogunquit Playhouse offers evening entertainment.
Planning Your Coastal Adventure
Best Times to Visit
Summer beach season runs Memorial Day through Labor Day, with July and August offering warmest ocean temperatures but largest crowds. June and September provide excellent weather with fewer visitors and lower accommodation rates. Book beach house rentals 6-12 months ahead for peak summer weeks, especially July 4th and August weekends.
Packing for Beach Houses
Most beach house rentals provide basics but verify what's included before packing. Bring beach towels, sunscreen, and outdoor games. Our vehicles' ample cargo space accommodates everything from inflatable kayaks to golf clubs, ensuring you arrive fully equipped for beach activities.
Coastal Driving Essentials
Vehicle Features for Beach Trips
Our vehicles come equipped with climate control perfect for coastal humidity, premium sound systems for your favorite road trip playlists, and GPS navigation with real-time traffic updates to avoid summer beach traffic. The Tesla's HEPA air filtration keeps the interior fresh despite salty ocean air, while all-wheel drive handles beach community's sandy roads with confidence.
EV Charging at the Beach
Electric vehicle infrastructure has expanded significantly in popular beach communities. Tesla Superchargers in Southampton, Chatham, and Newport ensure convenient charging, while many beach house rentals now offer Level 2 home charging for overnight guests. Plan charging stops during meal breaks or beach visits for seamless travel.
Where to Stay
Beach house rentals range from modest cottages to oceanfront estates. Consider location carefully – oceanfront properties command premium rates but offer unmatched convenience and views. Second and third-row houses provide better value while still offering short walks to the beach. Many properties now feature EV charging, home gyms, and outdoor entertainment areas perfect for extended family gatherings.
Summer coastal adventures represent the quintessential American vacation experience. Whether seeking Hamptons sophistication, Cape Cod tradition, or Maine's rugged beauty, arrive in comfort and style with our premium fleet. The journey becomes part of the adventure when traveling in vehicles as luxurious as your destination.
