We don't know about you, but we here at Oyster are ready for summer.

We've done all of the prepping -- we went to the gym once (hey, its more than we did in the winter!), got a couple of spray tans and, most importantly, we found our stowed bikinis, flip-flops and wide-brimmed hats.

And we're not the only ones who have come out of hibernation and are in back in business for a little fun in the sun: Some of our favorite U.S. hotels on the East Coast have re-opened their doors for the summer season. We've been longing for a stay at these quaint inns and hotels all winter long and now they're ready to welcome us (and you) back.

White Elephant Hotel Residences - Nantucket

SHARE THIS SLIDE 
The big, luxurious one- to three-bedroom units at White Elephant Residences (which reopened last month) are a good choice for families and groups. Unlike vacation home rentals, these units come with the perks of a hotel stay like daily housekeeping, a seasonal outdoor pool and a well-equipped fitness center. There's not much in terms of a communal feel, like you might find at an inn or smaller hotel, but that's part of the allure for some. Part of the larger White Elephant Village, the residences will, however, soon share the property with the White Elephant Inn that will open August 1, which should provide the more communal vibe some may seek.
