Check the ferry operator's timetable and boarding instructions for your dates.source

Hamptons

Check the dated MTA timetable for your journey; the autumn 2026 timetable does not establish June 2027 departures.source

Nantucket

Three listings have captured June samples across hotel residences, cottages and a villa. Options and guest capacities differ; samples exclude or separately describe taxes and booking conditions.source

Hamptons

Four entire-villa captures cover the same seven nights, but are not like-for-like with Nantucket's accommodation options. Blue Lagoon's selected option allows 12 guests, not the narrative's 14. Brightwater's capture states its pool closed for the season on 29 September 2025 and is unavailable until further notice, so June 2027 pool use is unconfirmed. Review each listing's charges and conditions before booking.source

Nantucket

Two recorded Nantucket samples are non-refundable with payment before arrival. The third allows free cancellation before 18 June 2027, with payment due 16 June 2027.source

Hamptons

Saltwater Haven and Blue Lagoon show free cancellation before 20 April 2027, yet both captures also state: "Payment before arrival via bank transfer is required. The property will contact you after you book to provide instructions." Brightwater is free to cancel before 5 June 2027 with payment due 3 June 2027; The J is free before 18 June 2027 with payment due 16 June 2027.source
