About this property

Perfection! Waterfront Home with Private Beach on Lake Montauk

This classic Montauk A-frame that sits just steps away from its own private beach on Lake Montauk will make a memorable family vacation. Build a huge fire in the outdoor wood-fired grill or on your beach and spend days lounging without crowds in lovely Lake Montauk. Or just watch the water from our 1,000 sq ft deck. Make fabulous feasts in the kitchen outfitted with a viking stove and Le Creuset cookware. Order oysters from our oyster farm partner (you can see the Montauk Pearl Oyster Farm in the water right out the window). It's classic Montauk living at it's best. We have a double lounger on the beach with chairs and umbrellas. Drink coffee in the morning in absolute privacy on your beach staring at the sun coming up, make bonfires at night watching the the quiet, huge lake at sunset. We have two SUP's, a floating dock in the water and 3 kayaks for afternoons spent exploring. Take the kayaks across the lake to Gosmans or one of the waterfront restaurants. Or take our beach bikes to the beautiful Gin Beach right down the road.

The house is Montauk simplicity at its best with four bedrooms, a bright open kitchen and living room all facing the water. We modernized the house with a new kitchen, bathrooms and a wraparound, large outdoor deck. Our hand-built outdoor firewood grill sits next to our outdoor dining table on the lawn (seats 12) and is perfect for huge lobster dinners ordered from our lobsterman friend, Andy, fresh off the boat.

At sunset, you'll feel like you are floating on the water that surrounds the bright, open living area. At night, sit by the large stone fireplace or out on the deck. Or have a bonfire on the beach fire pit!
The main bedroom has a queen bed, private bath and entrance from the deck with ample closet space. The two back bedrooms each with queen beds have beautiful light and a chic, simple decor. The children's bedroom has a bunkbed.

Spend days reading on the secluded beach or take a nap in one of our many hammocks. Or just enjoy the sounds of lapping waves from the chaises on the deck which always catches a westerly breeze coming off the lake--no bugs! Washer and dryer, outdoor shower and plenty of outdoor areas to play, eat or nap.

It's perfect for families--you'll have plenty to do with a large lawn for croquet or badminton. Take the paddle boards and kayaks across the lake for lunch at Gosman's or explore the sea life along the shore. The beach's shallow water is great for children. For dinner just walk down the beach at sunset to Rick's Crabby Cowboy or the Inlet. Charter a boat at the marina down the beach and catch Striped Bass which you can eat all week long. Gin Beach, Montauk's prettiest beach is just down the road and Ditch Plains, the best surfing beach is just 2.5 miles away. Build a fire in the beach fire pit and cook hotdogs and s'mores as the sun goes down. Go to sleep with the sound of the water lapping at the shore. It's really dream-like.

Amazing spot!

We stayed here for our wedding weekend and it was the perfect spot to have some peace and quiet with my husband before the crazy of the wedding day. Day of, it was the perfect spot to get ready (great natural light!) and take beautiful pictures (the lake is just our back!). Every family member who stopped by complemented how great the space was (everyone said ‘great find!’ and we were completely happy with it. It was also just a short drive away from our favorite restaurant, inlet seafood. Would absolutely stay again!!

Terrible

I booked a seven night stay starting May 23rd and had invited friends to join me. I knew I was in trouble the day before I left when I asked the owner how I would arrange to get into the house. She informed me that the house is unlocked because tenants keep losing the key. I explained that I would not stay in a house I could not lock so a key was arranged for. The kitchen, which was supposed to be well equipped, had pans with flaking Teflon coating and/or were filthy. There was insufficient lighting to comfortably read at night. Two of the bedrooms had single light bulbs. The designer furniture was no longer there. The kitchen and outdoor table were broken. There is a single small television in one of the bedrooms that had no place for people to sit other than the bed. The outdoor shower has no curtain or other means of providing any privacy --it is just a shower spigot.. There were "matching" chairs in the living room and one of the bedrooms that had coils falling down from the chair and looked like they had been picked up off a sidewalk. They did not look clean enough to sit on. I notified my friends not come and left the following morning. It was a terrible experience. I had stayed at several other homes booked through vrbo and always gave fabulous reviews. This was a terrible experience that I would not recommend to anyone.

The Perfect Getaway

We were 2 moms needing to "run away "from home and the city for a few days. So we made a spontaneous and quick escape with took our "pups." We couldn't have picked a more perfection location to just relax - sip morning coffee on the deck, lounge, nap or walk our dogs on the private beach, and cook simple meals in the well equipped kitchen or on the grill. The house has a very traditional “beach house” feel with a beautiful view of the lake. It was was just delightful … inside and out. Oh … the fireplace … we had a roaring fire every night which made everything perfect! We would unquestionably recommend this home to families, friends, and couples who would like a relaxing home away from home by the water. The sun was out every day, and though the temperature was very cool since it was the off season, we can only imagine how much fun it is in the summertime. Thank you, Brandon and family, for sharing your lovely home. (PS And thanks for your quick responses.)

Absolutely Incredible

This home is beautiful and opens up to some spectacular views of Montauk lake. It was a perfect family vacation and while we had planned to explore Montauk, we found it hard to leave the house at it has a beautiful little beach, cute back yard and perfect living room and kitchen for being together. Again, the views are incredible. We are already planning our next trip back!

Gracious owner - beautiful views

Some hiccups when we first arrived but Brandon took care of them right away. Beautiful location, comfortable beds and a fireplace stocked with wood were enjoyed by all as were the fresh oysters provided courtesy of the owner. A relaxing place to ring in the New Year and again, Brandon was extremely accommodating - allowing a late check out and waiving the pet fee.

About the host

Hosted by brandon holley

Host profile image
We are a family of three. Mom is a long-time fashion editor and Dad is a full-time musician. We have a six-year-old son. We live in Brooklyn and Montauk.

Why they chose this property

We've been spending summers in Montauk for 17 years when we found this magical place and decided we had to have it. The house, situated steps from the water, is filled with light and sparkling reflections of water on the walls. Sunsets are amazing. The constant gentle breeze means no mosquitoes. You'll feel like you are floating on the water here.

What makes this property unique

Windows give you fantastic water views everywhere you look. Private Beach allows you ultimate seclusion. You enter down a long driveway and into an open cleared yard with the water right there. Your family will be quite content to spend day after day here, with fishing, swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding and hammocks in the shade. At night you fall asleep to the waves lapping the beach.
