A Lovely Home

A lovely, meticulously maintained home in a picturesque setting overlooking Fort Pond. Laura made sure we had everything we needed for our quick getaway and even provided a wonderful packet of information for us including her favorite beaches, restaurants, eateries and local shopping boutiques. We watched beautiful sunsets during dinner at the house and shooting stars over the pond late at night. We will be thrilled to rent this gem again.

Impeccable - the perfect beach escape!!

Cottage in Montauk was an absolute dream. Blown away by the beauty and charm of this magical property. Highlights were the gorgeous, sprawling outdoor space with lovely landscaping and privacy, sunset views over the pond with direct water access and stylish decor. Extremely comfortable beds and relaxing atmosphere. Location of cottage was perfect - short walk to town and beaches. Owner was very professional with easy check in / check out - extremely helpful with insider recommendations on the area. A perfect beach oasis and can’t wait to return again soon!

Outdoor shower perfection!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Laura's house in Montauk. The property was everything we hoped for and more. The stunning water view was a highlight of our mornings and evenings, providing a serene backdrop that made our stay truly memorable. The outdoor space was generous and beautifully maintained, perfect for relaxing or playing games. I especially loved the amazing outdoor shower! Laura's hospitality was top-notch. She was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Her attention to detail and warm welcome made us feel right at home. We can't recommend this place enough. Five stars all around!

We had an amazing stay at Laura’s cottage. She has clearly put a lot of detail into the interior and exterior - making it a perfect getaway for my husband and I and our dog. It’s walkable to a lot of popular Montauk spots and the beach. The views are beautiful especially at sunset. We hope to go back one day!

Pristine and perfect

This property is absolutely stunning, spotless, and well-stocked, inside and out. It’s hard to want to leave the beautifully furnished house, but the outdoor shower is a dream, and the plantings, landscaping, and numerous outdoor seating areas add so much to the stay. We had an amazing time, and look forward to scheduling another stay. I haven’t even mentioned proximity because the property is so nice, but you practically can’t be any closer to the adorable town center.

Relaxing Anniversary Get Away

Laura is an excellent host. She provides a beautiful cottage in pristine condition on peaceful Fort Pond! Our dog enjoyed her swimming and we enjoyed stunning sunsets in the evenings and relaxing with a good book or a quiet kayak around the pond. We would gladly visit again. We enjoyed the gas fireplace on the cool evenings too! Don’t hesitate to book!

Ideal Montauk Get Away

Such a beautiful property with views over the lake. Perfectly furnished, light filled and a concise well outfitted kitchen. So clean with wonderfully comfortable beds and linens. We cooked a dinner at home and the kitchen was so well equipped and easy to cook in. A fire in the fire place made for a perfect evening at home. Really can’t get any better than this place. We will be back!

Perfection

A much needed break from the city on this idyllic property with spectacular sunsets. The cottage is far enough away to feel private and secluded but walking distance to the town—we arrived by Jitney. It’s well equipped with high end appliances and tableware. The owner has thought of everything down to the bathrobes in each room. We will be back!

For those who love the tranquility and beauty of Montauk, this beautifully decorated and landscaped cottage, is nestled among a naturally wooded landscape, overlooking a large peaceful lake with breathtaking sunsets!

About the host

Hosted by Laura

Host profile image
I am and Interior Decorator and live in Montauk. I love creating environments for people to enjoy. I am also an avid photographer, swimmer, and enjoy paddle boarding. I collect vintage furniture and objects.

Why they chose this property

This property has lots of privacy as there are no homes on either side. There is a two-acre preserve on the north side. The 5-star reviews state it all.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is within walking distance of downtown, the Hampton Jitney, and the LIRR. The best beaches are a short walk/bike ride or a short drive, including the famous Ditch plains surfing beach, which is just 1 mile away. Everyone who walks into this cottage falls in love with it. It's exceptional.
