About this cottage rental

Perfect family and/or artist getaway. Indoor heated pool. Private ocean beach. Outdoor shower. Modern kitchen with dishwasher. Flat screen cable TV. Wi-fi. Built-in 1940. It is a two-bed, one-and-a-half bath, cottage, that sleeps eight with a pull-out sofa. Indoor heated pool with beautiful views from the large deck overlooking the ocean. Completely surrounded by hedges and separate from the rest of the complex, private. New kitchen and all new appliances put in this year.

PLACES TO EAT

Duryea's:
Food served mostly family style & ordered through a counter window (drinks ordered tableside)
Lobster cobb salad & market fish are menu highlights (they had a branzino last time I was there and it was TDF) No reservations - on weekends, get there around 5 and expect a wait for large parties unless you want to just do cold seafood inside at the bar (oysters, shrimp, etc.). Grab some rose and wait for your table on the dock. Weekday evenings and lunch are usually a bit slower but the place is generally always busy.

Scarpetta Beach:
Same as Scarpetta in NYC, traditional Italian food, inside Gurney's hotel.

Crows Nest:
Super chic restaurant at a boutique hotel, one of my favorite places. Mostly Mediterranean inspired, simple menu. No reservations - like Duryeas, on weekends, get there between 5-6 and expect a wait for large parties. They usually cut the waiting list off at a certain point (have waited upwards of 2 hours for dinner here before). Weekday evenings should be more low-key but the closer to the weekend you are the more likely there will be a long wait.
They have a cute bar down the hill in the bag with a small beach and cabanas set up. Go down and have a drink while you wait for your table and watch the sunset (spicy tequila or watermelon drinks are my favorites).

Surf Lodge:
The quintessential Montauk hotspot. Food is ok, this is more of a place to go to be part of the "scene."
On the weekends this turns into a full-on club - insanely difficult doorman, bottle service, outside DJ (until ~9), sweaty inside bar. Sometimes they have live music on Saturday / Sundays for sunset hours.

Montauket:
BEST SUNSET IN MONTAUK. Very casual spot with a divey inside bar and picnic tables outside.

Gosman's:
Casual seafood spot with a bar - a traditional Montauk staple (not sceney).
No reservations, so again, expect a wait unless you show up early or during the week.

Navy Beach:
Beach front, nautical vibe with lots of white and blue. Food is okay but it's another one of those places sceny NYC people tend to talk about.
I think they take reservations.

Showfish:
Seafood restaurant at the other Gurney's property on Star Island. The food is pretty good, traditional. Not really a scene.
I think they take reservations

Joni's:
Great little breakfast spot off the main town road.

Round Swamp Farm:
Montauk outpost of the East Hampton Farmstand (overpriced but love it)

Sel Rose:
Oysters and cocktails.

Harvest On Fort Pond:
Outdoor dining, amazing food.

The Dock:
Montauks best dive bar, super fun, almost tacky vibe, and great food.

Montauk Bake Shoppe:
For jelly croissants.

BEACHES & HIKES

Gurney's:
The best beach is the one by Gurneys. The beach is technically public, but they won't let you park on the Gurney's property unless you have a reservation and you won't be able to use their beach chairs. If you want to have a splurge day, rent a cabana or seating area for an afternoon. Sometimes they have a DJ playing on the weekends. Full-service world-class spa on the property.

Ditch Plains Beach:
Most popular beach for surfing and swimming. Scenic, sort of has a coastal California feel.

Kirk Park Beach:
Closest to town, family-oriented

Hither Hills:
Trails and campgrounds

Montauk Point / Camp Hero:
Scenic lighthouse at the end of the road / gift shop with some trails around. Be careful hiking there are tons of ticks.

SHOPS

Shops in town are mostly of the beachy variety (think Jersey shore hoodies and sweats kind of stuff). In the last ~5 years, they've opened a bunch more stores but mostly womenswear.

Whalebone / Adam Mar has some men's stuff I think and there is this new super hip store called wyld blue that is fun to browse.
Some places in town offer surf lessons or paddle board / kayak rentals (you might also be able to book a reservation through Gurney's)

Deep Hollow Ranch - horse back riding, etc. - never been here but just saw some brand do an influencer activation and it looked cute.

This adorable, cozy cottage was perfect for our family getaway to Montauk. We have tried various rentals and hotels each summer and Robert’s cottage was by far our favorite. It fit our family of 5 perfectly, with enough room that we didn’t feel on top of each other. The decor was light and airy and just what we were hoping to find. From the awesome location, just a walk to the ocean, to the indoor pool and back up to a comfortable stay, our entire family agree that we can’t wait to return! Communication was easy and Robert was the best host we have had. Thank you for a great stay! You made the end of our summer one we will always cherish.

Nice stay, but the owner was unaware of the pass needed to park and our car was almost towed. He is now aware to let his renters know. Sliding door lock is a bit hard to manage could use a refresh to make locking up and mostly unlocking easier. All is all close to the beach, nice view and clean.

Cottage was clean and comfortable for a small family. Loved access to beach, pool and an awesome food truck on the property.

We had a really nice time at the cottage. The only drawback was lack of functional wifi and cell service.

Overall the property served all of our needs; however, there are a couple points of improvement. We were not able to connect to the wi-fi in the cottage as it requested an email and password log in that we were not given, which made it very difficult for some of us who had to finish our work day remotely to do so. Also, there was a honeycomb in one of the bedrooms and there were no cleaning supplies available in the cottage so we had to purchase our own. The easy access to the beach and location offset these points and we enjoyed our stay.

I want to start by saying we loved our stay at this cottage. You can see the ocean from the porch and it is very close (though not walkable) to the stores and restaurants in Montauk. That said, there were a number of cosmetic issues — no trash liners, no trash bin in the one bathroom, and a lot of dead bugs all over the floors. We called he maintenance guy listed in the welcome email but he never came by to investigate. Also, no dust pan, which was weird. Finally, it is a small cottage. My sister and I stayed (in separate bedrooms) but if we had to use the pullout (as originally planned) it would have been too much. If you have six people (or plan on using the pullout) you might want to pick another place. Oh, and the coffeemaker uses cone filters. Didn't know that until we got there. Not a huge deal (obviously) but I just thought I would help out the next guests.

This is a very nice and cozy place outside of town. You do have the access to the resort amenities. The only issue we kind of had but wasn't the end of the word was the wireless connectivity. It would also cut in and out so it wasn't very reliable.

The cottage was a nice size very clean with new furniture and appliances. It was great having a private master half bath. There was a comfortable couch. Lots of towels and extra sheets. The owner was very responsive and sent a handyman over immediately to fix some shades that were broken Very nice size deck with a good size table and umbrella. The waterview was relaxing to look at although at a distance. The cottage was situated on the side of the hotel parking lot which detracted from the view and althoug there are hedges you would hear people, cars and trucks go by frequently. It was also a hike down and then up two hills to the beach. All in all I would recommend it for location access to the beach and I liked the cottage itself which was roomy and could accomodate a family or even a couple of guests. We had a very enjoyable week there.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Oceanfront Cottage from July 22-29, 2016. The interior of the cottage was recently renovated and has new appliances. The central air conditioning worked very well. The bathrooms were clean and functional. The outdoor shower helped to alleviate people getting in each other's way in the morning. The deck, though somewhat dated, provided a table, umbrella and ample seating along with a partial ocean view. The cottage very comfortably accommodates 4 people with room for 2 more on the pullout sofa bed. The cottage is on the grounds of the Wavecrest Resort so additional guests can stay at its many nearby units at a reasonable price. We were 8 People, 5 adults and 3 children, ages 4, 11 and 13, so 4 of us stayed at the cottage while the other 4 stayed at a room closer to the ocean. The cottage was cozy enough for all of us to be together throughout the day. We were able to utilize most of the resort amenities and services including the indoor pool, beach umbrellas, lounges and chairs. A food truck with a tasty, varied menu is conveniently located at the beach entrance. The only inconveniences, which really didn't mar the overall experience, were the frustrating lack of a reliable cell phone signal and the steepness of the hill. We have visited the Hamptons and Montauk for more than a decade. The towns each have their own abience, vibe and charm. The Oceanfront Cottage is located so that, within less than 20 minutes, you can access the particular ambience you seek; from the joyous hubbub of an authentic, working fishing dock to the sublime elegance of the world-renowned "Hamptons' scene". Our family is most appreciative of the care and responsiveness of the host and staff. We highly recommend the Oceanfront Cottage for a truly unique and memorable vacation.
