About this house rental
You are offered a beautiful spacious, two-story, four-bedroom “upside-down” house in Montauk’s most desirable neighborhood, Hither Hills.
The sunny, modern house has partial ocean views, a large backyard, and two wrap-around decks — upstairs and downstairs.
Upside-down houses have the bedrooms on the ground floor and the living area on the second floor, thus offering spectacular views from the living room, kitchen and dining areas – with sunrise greeting you in the morning and sunsets in the evening, including a partial ocean view all times of the day.
Hither Hills is a quiet, rustic, family neighborhood with winding hilly roads and it is the only neighborhood in Montauk with deeded beach rights. That means the beach is never packed, like the town beaches can be.
The house is less than a 5-minute walk to the quiet secluded beach, miles from the public beaches and commercialism of town. It is so close to the beach that it is quicker to walk than to drive. The drive into the town itself takes only 5 minutes.
The upstairs living area – fully paneled in aromatic pinewood – is a 900 square-foot open space with Andersen windows and sliding doors on three sides – east, west and south –offering lots of sun and briny ocean breezes.
A brand-new kitchen renovation was installed upstairs in 2022 and two sparkling new bathrooms modernized the house downstairs in 2020.
Downstairs has four bedrooms:
- a huge master bedroom with a queen mattress and private bathroom
- a guest bedroom with queen bed
- two smaller bedrooms equipped with two twin beds each.
The house sleeps eight.
Sheets, linens, towels and beach towels are all included.
Beach chairs and umbrellas are also provided for your use, as well as a little wagon to wheel the gear to the beach.
Wrap-around decks both upstairs AND downstairs provide hundreds of square feet of leisure space. Lounge chairs are there for relaxing or sunbathing.
Enjoy grilling on the Weber gas grill. An outdoor teakwood dining-set seats eight comfortably.
A café table and chairs are provided in the front upper porch for you to have a snack or enjoy your favorite beverage.
Modern appliances include a Bosch dishwasher, a GE refrigerator, a GE electric range and a large Samsung TV .
A Samsung split air-conditioner in the upstairs living area offers quiet operation and cool temperatures when the non-stop ocean breezes prove insufficient during the heat of the day. In the winter, it also can be used to heat the house.
Downstairs is cooled/heated with central air-conditioning.
There is also a washer/dryer unit, high-speed wi-fi, and cable TV.
An outdoor shower lets you to wash off the sand after a day at the private deeded beach, which is a mere 1000-feet walk down a pretty winding road.
The beach is never crowded and you can play, surf, swim, fish, and cook your meal over an open fire – far removed from the madding crowds of town. Beach chairs and umbrellas provided.
There is a 600 square-foot lawn in the back. The front and sides of the house are landscaped with flowers and shrubs. A driveway provides ample parking for four vehicles.
The neighborhood is quiet and family friendly. You will love the sound of the lapping ocean waves lulling you to sleep at night.
Guests love this house and come back repeatedly. However, non-declaration of extra guests will result in termination of booking.

We had a wonderful time at this house and the host was very quick and responsive when we had questions. Great location, quiet neighborhood, and the house is fully equipped, especially with beach-related gear! Can’t recommend this place enough and thank you to Sean for hosting us!

We’ve been coming to Montauk to fish together for the last 34 years and have camped as well as rented homes for our stay. This property offered all the space, deck, and proximity to the beach that we wanted. The kitchen and den area are spacious and comfortable. The four bedrooms were comfortable and the washer and drier were very convenient. We would gladly return to this house next year.

My family and I had an amazing experience at this rental. Everything was exactly how it was described and the walk to the beach was even closer then we would have thought. The property is great and the owner and his staff are thorough and on call for any needs. I would 100% recommend this rental as we will definitely be staying here again!

House was just as we expected. Checkin was a breeze and communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Ocean views from the dining table were a bonus. The kids loved our stay and John was accommodating to our family pet. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. We will definitely be looking to stay again here in the future. My kids can’t wait to go back. Thank you for a the great memories

The house was just perfect. It was close enough to town to get there easily but far enough away to have quiet and greenery. It was a 10 minute stroll to the beach. Sitting on the wooden deck, we listened to the sounds of the Atlantic Ocean while enjoying the gentle breeze. The pictures of the house were very accurate. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed: towels, soap, shampoo, kitchen utensils and even a coffee machine and a teapot. The owner was prompt in answering questions and suggesting restaurants. He gave great directions and information about the house and was very easy to work with. All in all, it was a delightful vacation!

Best month ever!
Sean’s house was incredible for our group and the perfect location in montauk. We stayed for the month and the house is exactly as described and pictured. The kitchen is newly renovated and well equipped to cook, grill, etc. The floor plan is great for a group with a huge deck for bbq nights and kt enjoyed the ocean view. Sean was very responsive as well as his handyman who was able to fix anything on short notice or take the trash. Could not say better things about our stay, we will definitely be back! Best month ever!

Great location and space, property could use an upgrade
First and foremost, for a pet friendly property in Montauk you won't find a better space or price. Having my pup along for the ride this year was fantastic and easy access to the beach with him made the trip! The space in general is beautiful with wrap around decks, a private yard, and the upside down floor plan is great for guest entertaining and privacy. My main caution is that the home could use a lot of tending to. While the two main bathrooms were recently redone, the rest of the house left some to be desired. Our reservation was in September, so clearly summer came and went and the house took a beating. The kitchen was super outdated with crooked cabinets on the wall, a missing drawer, and the island wasn't secure to the base of cabinets. Nearly none of the outlets in the home were tight enough to support the weight of a phone charger and only 2 light switches in the bottom floor were connected to lights. While big, the kitchen lacked some basic needs like oven mits and more than the 6 forks. Overall the property seemed dusted but definitely not deep cleaned. We found swept debris in almost every corner and general build up of dust throughout the home - on windows, fans, baseboards, etc. One of the chairs in the living room (which is white) was filthy and stained and seemed like it should go in the trash or at least have a cover on it. The landscaping was too overgrown to access the outdoor shower and the trash cans from the driveway. On our last day, landscapers came and it was a shame to see a completely different access point now available. One bedroom had a leak over the sliding door which caused the floors to get soaked during the rain. This occurred as soon as we arrived, it took 3 days to get a reply from the host, only to find out it had been like that previously and to get it fixed would require us to endure construction while we were on vacation (we opted not). Lastly, the walk to the beach entrance could be about 5 minutes, but it requires steps down to the beach which may be a problem for younger, older and/or less abled guests. The walk to the beach is all downhill from the house, which means the walk home is up stairs and uphill, so I'd say it's more like a 10 minute stroll for a healthy person. All in all, I'd recommend, but definitely will manage expectations around needed updates and cleanliness next time.

Great house in Montauk!
Simple but lovely house in Montauk! The upside down format and deck are amazing - as were the newly updated bathrooms.
Sean responded promptly to any concerns and the location cannot be beat! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back!

Fabulous Weekend Stay
The property was the perfect size for 7 people to enjoy comfortably, with more than enough bed space and bathrooms. The walk to the beach is no more than 5 minutes, and the limited ocean view form the upper deck of the house a wonderful surprise that made for a tranquil stay. I am very satisfied with the location and amenities of the home for its affordable price, and would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Montauk home close to ocean beach
My wife, two adult daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our week here. The home has a spacious open-plan upper level with a well-appointed kitchen and modern appliances and a large central island with stool seating; a comfortable seating area around a large cocktail table and a large flat-screen TV; and a dining area that would seat six people comfortably. There is also a half-bath on this level.
There are four bedrooms and 2 recently renovated baths on the lower level with space to sleep eight comfortably. Decking wraps around three sides of the house, with a gas grill, deck chairs and two seating areas upstairs and access to the lower covered deck from 3 of the 4 bedrooms.
The location is perfect for exploring Eastern Long Island. It's a short walk to the ocean beach, a short drive to Montauk's town center, and close to a number of state parks with beaches and trails for hiking (be aware that tiny deer ticks are prevalent in some of these areas). Driving a little further will take you to the Main Street areas of nearby towns of The Hamptons, with their shopping and dining areas. We also went across Shelter Island via 2 ferries to visit the North Fork and Greenport for a day.
All in all, this is a great place to enjoy a beach vacation. It is also pet-friendly. The owner, Sean, was readily available by phone and text during our stay. Highly recommended!

Jewel in Montauk
Stayed Thanksgiving week thru the new year, and had an amazing and memorable holiday season!!
Kitchen is set up perfectly to cook for an army and serve them as well.
The decks provided spectacular views of sunrises and sunsets.
Will definitely try and stay here again, the owner was accommodating, excellent communicator and allowed us privacy - will do business again any day!
Thanks again for the memories, see ya soon!

Great location - That's about it
While this was the best priced house for the size in the area it was clear why. We understood it was going to be more of a beach cottage than anything fancy but we expected it to at least be clean. We had to clean countertops and wash the sheets upon our arrival. Floors and bathrooms were not clean either. Cleanliness is something that is easily managed. Maybe a new cleaning service is needed? The house isn't very well maintained either (rotted wood) but at least keeping it clean should easy. All that said, it is a great location so if you are looking for something cheap with multiple bedrooms go for it - just be aware it isn't clean.

Great Home!
We loved our stay at this home. The place was very well kept, clean and affordable (which is rare for MTK). The owner was so friendly, easy to communicate with & extremely accommodating! We had the fire place going the whole time - which was just lovely and we absolutely loved the wrap around deck with partial ocean views. The house is set in a beautiful neighborhood which gives you the "upstate vibe" and it was within walking distance to the ocean/beach - what else could you really ask for!?

The house is dirty and tired. It appears very little has been done to maintain the property; the kitchen cabinets are pulling away from the wall. Our first trip to IGA in Montauk was to buy ant traps and a broom. The pictures of the rooms in the house are close to accurate, but it’s worth wondering why there aren’t any photos of the bathrooms. They are outdated and have mold and mildew on the walls and in the showers. The cleaning service must spend most of their time on laundry and not enough cleaning the house between tenants.The listing suggests the house has air conditioning; it does, only on the main level, not where the bedrooms are located.

Great location, nice living space
This house accommodated our family and guests comfortably and was a short walk to a gorgeous, quiet beach. Plenty of parking. Very nice, quiet, tree-filled neighborhood. The house had all we needed in terms of kitchen equipment, bedding, towels etc, plus a great deck and gas grill with a big outdoor dining table. Outdoor shower was handy for rinsing off after the beach. A nice stock of inflatable beds came in handy the night we had a lot of guests. It was ready on time and easy to settle in to.
