After having read some of the reviews posted here by guests of The Mainstay, a delightful Bed and Breakfast in the heart of Southampton, I'd like to begin by making two points: First - A Bed and Breakfast is not for everyone. It has been stated in some of the reviews, that staying at Mainstay is like being someone's houseguest.... More

The Mainstay is so charming and I highly recommend this bed and breakfast. It is located just minutes from the beach and town. The room I stayed in was gorgeous and I felt so comfortable and cozy. Great hospitality and delightful breakfast. Very clean and well kept with beautiful garden. No complaints!! I look forward to returning! More

I can't believe what the previous reviewer wrote about this wonderfully charming establishment. We just came from spending a long weekend at the Mainstay and couldn't have asked for a better experience!. The inn was charming. Elizabeth the inn keeper was gracious and most accommodating. We had a marvelous stay and will definitely return with friends and family!! More

We rented we thought a two bedroom suite for $650.00 a night Instead we were in a hot attic with a air conditioner from 1960. The hallways were 105 degrees. The innkeeper was MIA and lost in space. The room was dirty and old so was the inn. It should of been demolished 50 years ago. It was a fire... More

We are very sorry this woman was so unhappy. On rare occasions its true that some guests should only stay at a Four Seasons Hotel. This guest disturbed any and everyone around her and used two bathrooms of which did not belong to the room. We helped these people with beach chairs and umbrellas when they arrived 4 hours early...

your experience staying here will be a 100% authentic southampton stay, the best of all it has to offer. Elizabeth Main does everything right. Casual luxuries abound. To spend an afternoon lounging by the beautiful pool and checking out the lush gardens is a little piece of heaven. The house it self is amazing, every detail done beautifully in classis... More

Nice owner clean, comfortable place light in bathroom not working but that is fine but hard to put on makeup. Quality of breakfast is simple. The price is too expensive for the quality here. More

I was somewhat skeptical based on some of the mixed reviews but was very pleased with The Mainstay. The location is ideal - just approx 1-2 miles from downtown Southampton and the same distance to the beach. The bed was super comfortable and our bathroom had a clawfoot tub that was adorable. The pool and backyard are beautiful - and... More

Located in walking distance to Southampton (nearest Hampton to New York City) and its pristine ocean beaches, but central for short trips to anywhere on the East End or North Fork. Or one can explore this large beautifully landscaped property and lounge at the large pool. The healthy breakfast waffles are a "must", made by the owner Elizabeth who runs... More
