About this property
Hither Hills Beach Retreat; Walk to Ocean Beach & Town; Pool; Jacuzzi; Kid Ready
RR #21-1041 / LIFE SAVING AED "DEFIBRILLATOR" ON PROPERTY
OUR PROPERTY IS IN PRIME HITHER HILLS WITH PRIVATE OCEAN BEACH ENTRANCES FOR WALKING AND PARKING. YOU CAN WALK TO MONTAUK'S BEST BEACH AND TO TOWNSEND, PLUS GURNEY'S, FROM OUR PROPERTY OR LOUNGE IN THE SALT POOL. BEACH PASS INCLUDED.
OUR LARGE PRIVATE OUTDOOR JACUZZI IS OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND; POOL OPEN MAY thru OCTOBER
Highlighting our property -- aside from the quick walk to the ocean beach or town -- is a large, salt-water swimming pool that you can heat if desired, a six person outdoor spa/jacuzzi, and a custom-built, climate controlled, pool house (with sleeper couch for lounging if you need it). All shrouded in glorious privacy. The 20'x40' pool has two shallow ends for enhanced lounging and is a 'sport' design, perfect for volleyball and other pool games.
We are also close to the famous Gurney's Resort, which is walkable in 25 minutes, or just 4 minutes by car. Or take one of our many bikes...
HITHER HILLS properties, like this one, come with restricted access to our own beautiful beach below the bluffs along Old Montauk Highway. You get a parking pass for your car to use at the small parking lots at the beach and a key that opens the barrier chain. ONLY HITHER HILLS residents or renters, NOT other homes in Montauk, have this access. Hence the premium prices...and experience!
With that....Our renovated home has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 2 great outdoor showers! The private, climate controlled poolhouse has a sleeper couch for lazy poolside lounging when you need it. Ours is a true beach house, not just a house at the beach...and Hither Hills needs no further explanation for those that know and love Montauk; private beach rights on the most beautiful and least crowded sand in the Hamptons.
Our home is carefully renovated and furnished throughout with classic white everywhere, replete with beachy antiques and curios we've collected over the years, plus a vast collection of books, many related to the ocean, fishing, and nature. Our home also has two entirely separate living rooms with large flat screens, upstairs and down, so cooking shows on one, sports on the other during rainy days. The half acre property is shrouded in trees on all sides yet has a cozy lawn and a very large and private heated pool, jacuzzi/spa, and air conditioned pool house. A truly luxurious property.
The 4 bedrooms have two queens, one full bunk set, and one twin bunk set, and are nicely spaced across the home's two floors, giving true privacy when you need it. The climate controlled pool house has a pullout sofa for lounging during lazy afternoons in private seclusion.
The home has 6 separate zones (incl all bedrooms) for AC/Heat so you'll never suffer during those hot (or cold) days. The pool house also has it's own separate AC and heat.
The large deck is sun drenched all day and leads to a glorious, large and private outdoor shower. The deck's large round table seats 8-10 comfortably for fresh striper from the grill.
Additional amenities include 2 pull-out sleeper couches for guests (one is in the pool house), second refrigerator/freezer for extra storage, a storage shed with 5 bikes you can use on the many trails around Montauk, plus cable tv, internet, and a wireless networked printer.
Our custom, air conditioned, pool house has its own large screen TV (total of 4 on the property), vanity sink, sleeper couch, and plenty of seating so you can cool off during those relaxing days in the pool. The adjacent covered gazebo and large in-ground Jacuzzi can present tough decisions!
And as our home is in the eastern part of Hither Hills, you can walk to the Surfside Inn (not to be confused with Surf Lodge) for dinner or just drinks...since you won't need to drive home!
Also, we have a child safe home...our 2nd floor deck has locking gates at both stairways and our interior stairway has a permanent locking gate as well.
The walk to the beautiful ocean beach is about 7 minutes and you have a choice of two entrances. Or drive in 1 minute with the provided parking pass.
Our kitchen has state-of-the-art appliances, including an induction cooktop for you foodies. New washer/dryer as well. Bedrooms have plenty of hanging and storage space plus additional closets throughout the house.
We take safety seriously so you will find several fire extinguishers and smoke detectors throughout, just in case. Automatic outdoor motion sensor lights provide convenience and safety at night...and tip you off when the deer wander through the yard! We also have an AED (aka Defibrillator) in the home...again, just in case.
IMPORTANT: We take pride in the condition and care of our home. While normal wear and tear is expected and anticipated, excessive wear caused by carelessness, overcrowding, or indifference will be noticed and documented on references you will receive from us. Strictly NO SMOKING ON PROPERTY and NO LOUD NOISE OUTSIDE AFTER 9PM in order to maintain the tranquility of our neighborhood.
Note: If you have events planned (birthdays, anniversaries, bachelor & bachelorette parties, etc.) you must make this known during your initial inquiry. We may or may not agree to accept your booking based on event details, on a case-by-case basis.
Weekly professional cleaning required. Utilities are included in the rental price. Propane for heating the pool is discretionary so usage charges incurred will be withheld from security. Pets may be allowed with additional security on case-by-case basis. Please inquire.
Thank you for viewing our property and happy vacationing!

This is a very special house located in the beautiful Hither Hills. Our family of 5 (college age and young adult) plus a couple friends enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere this house provided. The pool and outdoor areas (porches, hot tub, out door dining) are very spacious and provide for multiple areas for activity. The 2 separate living rooms allowed my 24 yr old to work remote while the rest of us continued on with our day. There is a rustic lived in quality that you find at any well loved beach house. Carter, the owner was very responsive and accommodating during our entire stay. We would absolutely stay here again
Stayed here with a small group over labor day weekend. Communication prior to the stay was great. Check-in day of / walk-through was easy to schedule. The home itself was comfortable. Such a lovely and peaceful location. The pool is amazing! We really enjoyed our stay.
Thanks Carter! We had a wonderful family vacation and felt at home the minute we walked in the door. The pool and yard are as beautiful as the photos and the kids were prunes by the end of our stay. Oh, and the beach is also stunning. Cheers!
Nothing negative to say. The owner came to greet us on our arrival, and showed us around the property. The house and grounds are family friendly with safety features for toddlers. Plenty of room for a large group. Parking for one car at the beach, and a short walk if all cannot fit in the car. The two outdoor showers are great when returning from the beach.
Everything about our stay was 5 star. The host and his wife greeted us, made us immediately comfortable, and were available when we had questions. The house was clean, well kept, and had all the amenities one needs to be comfortable, and the pool, jacuzzi and grounds were spectacular. Proximity to the beach and Montauk town were great, and we lacked for nothing. We definitely plan a return trip! Martha and Peter
I came here with 10 other girlfriends to celebrate my bachelorette and truly enjoyed my time. Carter is an amazing host and was helpful with anything we needed. Additionally, the house is in a quiet enough neighborhood that it's relaxing but close enough to town center and the beach if you want to go out. Montauk has a special place in my heart and I'm so glad I got to rent this house and share this place with my friends. I highly recommend booking this house.
House layout was awesome for our two families and dog. Beachy, relaxed, tons of places for everyone to hang out together and on their own. Carter was so friendly and responsive. Can’t beat having a private beach so close to town. Would return!!!
We unfortunately had bad weather during our stay but we were cozy in this home which is spacious and conveniently located. For those with kids, there are safety gates and toys available. There’s a lot of outdoor seating and in the summer we look forward to returning to take advantage of the pool. Carter is very responsive - a terrific host!
We had an incredible long weekend stay in November. The house is extremely comfortable for 2 families. There are two living rooms (one on each floor) to hang out in as well as a cozy pool house space. The 10 person dining room table made our meals together relaxing and enjoyable. Kitchen is fully stocked with enough cups, plates, pots and pans to cook for a big family. The property is spacious, beautiful and completely fenced in. The beach is within walking distance from the house and we enjoyed our strolls there every day. We really enjoyed our time at this Montauk escape and will definitely come back in the future.
My husband and I have loved Montauk for years but had never shared it with our grown kids. This house was the perfect place to introduce the family to Montauk. Great location to be near all the area has to offer yet you are tucked away with privacy when you want it.
The pool is definitely a highlight. We had some not so great weather for beach days so being able to enjoy the pool was perfect. Also my granddaughter loved it. House is great for being together but has enough little spaces to have time to yourself.
My husband used the bikes every morning- my son worked in the pool house- plenty of seating to eat lunch or lounge on the deck.
We enjoyed our week at this Montauk Oasis.
Brought family, including 3 grandchildren, from Oregon to visit “the end.” My wife grew up on LI and we lived there when our daughter was a grade schooler.
The pool was wonderful in a very private and secluded garden. We used it every day and used the grill often.
House itself was old Montauk beach house, a little quirky but that was part of the charm in a great and quiet neighborhood.
An extensive collection of books on varied subjects, many with a nautical theme, would take a lifetime to read.
The property is perfect for a family vacation such as ours.
My family and 2 dogs stayed here for our beach vacation. I need to preface this review with this. 1) we had a pretty rainy week and the second is that Carter and his wife are lovely and responsive to any concern I brought to their attention.
The home is as described though not as big as it looks. The main floor is a nice open space.This is where the 8 of us spent a lot of our time. There is space to eat and sit so that was good- the downstairs sitting area didn’t get used by us for just hanging out. it simply feels kind of basmenty. No real natural light- not bad per say- it just didn’t provide a 2nd living space for us as I thought it would. The two bedrooms on the bottom floor were damp most of the time. Sheets and clothes all got that damp camping feel overnight. The twin bunk room is very small so good for kids but not fabulous for a couple of adults.
The house is nice and comfortable but don’t bring a lot of extra stuff- there is very little space for your own belongings. The decorating style is such that all spaces are covered with something. So many books which I loved looking at but ended up moving off shelves simply so I could put my clothes somewhere. The house almost has a feel that the owners use the home a lot. There are many locked owners closets and cubby’s throughout the h
Our week could not have been better, we loved this house and Montauk! It was such a relaxing week! The house had everything to make the stay with our 16 month old grandson so easy! Our older kids loved the pool and hot tub and easy walk to town each morning for coffee! Carter was an excellent host, very responsive and so nice! Absolutely Wonderful!!!!!!!
Home suited us perfectly for a 10-day vacation with family and friends. The back yard is absolutely fantastic and was perfect for summer grill-outs and pool days. The neighborhood is very quiet and location was spot-on just a 5 minute walk to the beach. Can’t say enough good things about Carter’s home - even better than the pictures!!
Beautiful house, great for group visit for Montauk. Pool and hot tub were great, living rooms are great for your family or group, and excellent location central or 5 minutes to just about everything. Good to know that checkin process is more involved than described on listing; allow 25 minutes for an orientation by the owner either in person or over the phone. Checkout instructions were more involved than anticipated, whereas we expected standard tasks to be included in the cleaning fee. Overall, really enjoyed our stay.
