From the total overhaul of Westhampton's divey Seabreeze Motel into the lush Three Ducks Hotel, to the reimagining of the run-down Sands Motel into the wellness-focused Offshore Montauk, these jitney-friendly escapes beckon you to book a room and perfect your 'dark bohemian' deportment just in time for Memorial Day. Floppy hats and flowy coverups required.

Though it technically opened late last summer, Seven Beach Lane debuts its first full season this June — and it was worth the wait. Set just a mile from Rogers Beach and the coastal-cool shops on Main Street, the restored 1885 Victorian houses 16 rooms and suites, a namesake restaurant that emphasizes locally sourced cocktails and cuisine (order the cavatelli with baby artichokes and chanterelles, but don't skimp on the housemade bread) and a full suite of fitness offerings, including a gym, an infrared sauna and a cold plunge. The vibe is decidedly glam, so don't be shy: Dust off those Cartier baubles and make your French bob BIG. You never know who that silver fox sipping a glass of Languedoc rosé at his poolside daybed might be. Rooms from $749; Seven Beach Lane
5 Offshore Montauk has a new wellness-focused, bare-bones aesthetic.

In what appears to be a trend, Montauk's old Sands Motel is shaking off its tired image in exchange for a wellness-focused, bare-bones aesthetic. Marley Dominguez, co-owner of upstart Enduring Hospitality, unveils his approach to laid-back luxury at the tip of Long Island this June, hoping to capture some of the boho-chic clientele who in recent years decamped to nearby Shou Sugi Ban House or Gurney's. He's giving them good reason to make haste to this 43-room escape, starting with a resort-like pool and extending to the red-light therapy in the mini-spa and breezy setting right on the Atlantic. Come on a Friday morning before the madding crowds and secure an outdoor space — a private terrace, a lush lounge area — all your own, quiet enough to read an actual book. Rooms from $700; Offshore Montauk
5 The Sagaponack is completely rebranded and redesigned.

The hotel formerly known as the Wainscott Inn is now The Sagaponack, completely rebranded and redesigned for its first full summer of operations. Among the upgrades that $4 million afforded the old bolt-hole: a full renovation of the 30 guest rooms and lobby, all outfitted in nautical-chic blues and whites; family- and pet-friendly premises, including organic treats from the Hamptons Barkery for Fido and baby gear and sitting services for Little Debbie; and resort-style amenities, like beach passes, e-bikes and a stocked pantry for grab-and-go (gratis!) snacks. Privacy-seekers can book one of nine bungalows and withdraw to their discreet personal retreat, emerging only for yoga and meditation classes held near the outdoor heated pool or a game of croquet on the expansive lawn. Rooms from $599; The Sagaponack

5 Three Ducks has new owners and a fresh outlook.
Three Ducks Westhampton
The sleepy suburban village has finally gotten the reboot it deserves, starting with the total overhaul of the downtrodden Seabreeze Motel. With new owners and a fresh outlook, the midcentury hostelry has emerged with wildflower meadows that double as gathering spots, outdoor seating areas for each of the 12 guest rooms and a stripped-down aesthetic that lets the natural beauty of the beach community sparkle. Though it shares a general manager with Bridgehampton's see-and-be-seen Topping Rose House, don't expect such flash here: Breakfast is served in the newly constructed barn and group activities are less Champagne toasts and more bird-watching and flower-arranging classes. Grab a bike and cruise to the dunes for sunset or take a seat by the communal firepit and make lifelong friends. Rooms from $795; Three Ducks

The largest marina in the Hamptons reopens for a full season this summer after a tip-to-toe multimillion-dollar renovation that touched everything from the Ocean Club Restaurant, helmed by Executive Chef Jarad McCarroll, to the 16 inviting grassy acres. This summer, when you're not vying for a slot at the padel courts or an invitation onto one of the superyachts strutting their stuff in the 232-slip marina, scurry from one of the 107 guest rooms to the Sisley Paris pop-up spa that takes over the Floating Water Cabana Spa. Along with the brand's cult-favorite facials, you can score your skin's summer essentials on-site — thus eschewing the 30-minute drive to the nearest Bluemercury in East Hampton. The other big news among erstwhile regulars is that Michael Kors has teamed up with the barefoot-chic retreat for a Jet Set Package that includes an off-menu chef's table dinner, a private sunset cruise aboard the hotel's boat, a massage and a signature weekend bag to secret those Aesop toiletries back home. Rooms from $799; Montauk Yacht Club

A fairy tale in Paris: French wild card Boisson stuns No. 6 Andreeva to reach French Open semis
Associated Press The run continues for the 361st-ranked Lois Boisson at Roland-Garros. After taking down third-seeded Jessica Pegula in the previous round, the French wild-card entry upset sixth-ranked Mirra Andreeva 7-6 (6), 6-3 Wednesday in front of a boisterous and largely partisan crowd to reach the semifinals of the French Open. A year ago, Boisson tore the ACL in her left knee just a week before her home Grand Slam tournament started, preventing her from accepting an invitation to play. On Thursday, she will have the chance to advance to the final. 'It's incredible, no matter what, given what happened last year and all the difficult moments I went through,' Boisson said during her post-match interview. The 22-year-old Boisson was largely unknown outside tennis circles before capturing the spotlight in Paris. She is playing in her first Grand Slam main draw and became the first woman to reach the semifinals at her debut major tournament since 1989, when Monica Seles and Jennifer Capriati both did it at the French Open. She is also the youngest French semifinalist at a Grand Slam event since Amelie Mauresmo at Wimbledon in 1999. The last Frenchwoman to win the title at Roland-Garros was Mary Pierce, 25 years ago. Under the closed roof of court Philippe-Chatrier, Andreeva repeatedly showed her frustration with the crowd, as excited fans chanted 'Loïs, Loïs' between points, waved Tricolor flags, shouted during play, and even applauded the Russian teenager's errors. The first set was marked by momentum swings and brilliant shot-making from both players. Boisson twice found herself down a break but fought back each time, using heavy spin and deep groundstrokes to trouble her Russian opponent. Andreeva grew visibly tense on key points, struggling to maintain her composure and wasting a chance to close out the set when up 5-3. Despite saving three set points and forcing a tiebreaker, she ultimately handed the set to Boisson with two consecutive backhand errors. Andreeva responded strongly at the start of the second set, racing to a 3-0 lead. But Boisson broke back with a thunderous backhand winner down the line, drawing a roar of approval from the lively crowd. Andreeva received a warning after netting a routine forehand volley and angrily hitting a ball into the stands. She then argued with the umpire over a call that gave Boisson three break points. Andreeva saved the first one with a forehand winner then double-faulted, and never recovered. 'The first set was super intense, and I was really struggling at the start of the second, but I managed to regroup and finish like that,' said Boisson, who will make a big jump in the rankings. Having reached a career high of No. 152 last year before her knee injury, Boisson will climb at least to No. 68 on Monday. And that could be even higher if she manages to pull off a third straight shocker against the No. 2-seeded Coco Gauff in the semifinals. An unseeded player has reached the French Open final twice in the last four years: eventual champion Barbora Krejcikova in 2021, and Karolina Muchova in 2023. ___ More AP tennis:

Coco Gauff outlasts fellow American Madison Keys in three sets to reach French Open semifinals
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Where did that come from? Advertisement 'Just a love to win, the will to win. It's not something that's taught or anything. It's just I have always had that in me, and not just in tennis but in everything. I'm a very competitive person,' she said. 'My philosophy is if I can just leave it all out there, then the loss will hurt a lot less than regrets of maybe not giving it your all.' Gauff needed to overcome 10 double-faults — three in the opening tiebreaker alone — and the first set she's dropped in the tournament, as well as deal with the big-hitting Keys, the No. 7 seed, who entered with an 11-match Grand Slam winning streak after her title at the Australian Open in January. Advertisement They combined for 101 unforced errors and just 40 winners across more than two hours under a closed roof at Court Philippe-Chatrier on a drizzly, chilly day. Nearly half of the games — 14 of 29 — featured breaks of serve. But from 4-all in the second set, Gauff held four times in a row while pulling away. She made two unforced errors in the last set, including just one double-fault. After falling behind, 4-1, at the start, and twice being a single point from trailing, 5-1, Gauff switched to a racket with a different tension in the strings to see if that would help. 'Maybe it did, and maybe it didn't. I'd like to think that it helped a little bit,' she said. 'Sometimes that stuff could just be mental. Maybe you're thinking, 'Oh, I changed my racket, I'm going to play better,' and you start doing it. I don't know.' She'll play Thursday for a berth in another major final, facing 361st-ranked French wild-card entry Loïs Boisson, who is on one of the most stunning runs in tennis history. Boisson beat No. 6 Mirra Andreeva, 7-6 (8-6), 6-3, in the quarterfinals to follow up her upset of No. 3 Jessica Pegula in the fourth round. Boisson, 22, is the first woman to reach the semifinals in her Grand Slam debut since 1989, when Monica Seles and Jennifer Capriati both did it at the French Open. A crowd that offered support to Gauff against Keys via shouts of 'Allez, Coco!' was raucous as can be behind Boisson, rattling the 18-year-old Andreeva. Advertisement The other women's semifinal is quite a matchup: three-time defending champion Iga Swiatek vs. No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka. They advanced with quarterfinal victories Tuesday. It was Swiatek who stopped Gauff at Roland-Garros in the semifinals last year and in the final three years ago. 'I have a lot more work left to do,' said Gauff, who raised her arms overhead then spread them wide apart after the last point against Keys, 'but I'm going to savor this one today.' Repeatedly, Gauff scrambled this way or that to get her racket on a shot from Keys and send it back, often leading to a miss. 'The court being a little bit slower, coupled with the fact that she covers the court so well, just put a little bit of pressure on me to go a little bit more for my shots and maybe press a little bit too much, too soon,' said Keys, who occasionally admonished herself with a slap on her right leg. 'There were a lot of points where I felt like, playing someone else. I would have won the point.'

Vanessa Hudgens's Former L.A. Home Just Hit the Market for $4.4 Million
Six years ago, Vanessa Hudgens sold a custom-built home in Los Angeles for nearly $3.2 million after just two months on the market, albeit for 20 percent less than her original $3.9 million asking price. Now the actress, singer, and entrepreneur's former pad in the San Fernando Valley community of Studio City has returned to the market, this time for a speck under $4.4 million. Michael J. Okun in the Sherman Oaks office of Sotheby's International Realty holds the listing. The High School Musical alum acquired the Mediterranean-inspired spread in 2008 shortly after it was built for $2.75 million when she was only 19 years old and lived there until 2019. Sited on a hillside parcel in the Wrightwood Estates neighborhood, the multi-level white stucco and terracotta-roof dwelling sits atop a street-level three-car garage and features five bedrooms and seven baths in roughly 5,300 square feet laced with Moorish and Moroccan touches.

An adjacent kitchen is outfitted with sage-hued cabinetry, granite countertops, high-end appliances, and a window-lined breakfast nook. Other main-level highlights include a fireside family room with built-in cabinetry and a tiered movie theater. The upper level holds a primary suite sporting a mosaic-tiled two-way fireplace, a private balcony, an office space, and an inviting bath equipped with a spa tub and steam shower. Outdoors, the resort-like grounds span over a third of an acre and host a freeform pool with a spillover spa and waterfall, plus a terrace that's ideal for alfresco entertaining with a barbecue station.
