We select the best places to stay in Montauk, from holiday rentals to a contemporary beach hotel. Make yourself at home at these beach retreatsLovingly known as ‘The End’ for being located at the furthest tip of Long Island, New York, the once rustic seaside hamlet of Montauk has today become famed for its surfer-friendly beaches as well as its millionaire residents.
Regardless, Montauk has still successfully retained a lot of its local charm and flavour, making it a popular retreat for city folk looking to take in the salty sea air. From exploring neighbourhood restaurants serving fresh seafood hauled in from fishing boats stationed at docks nearby, to pitching up at Ditch Plains Beach, the beloved surf mecca with cliffside views and some of the best waves in the region, a visit to Montauk can be rather idyllic, to say the least.
One of the biggest challenges of visiting Montauk, aside from the traffic, is simply finding a place to stay. Rentals in the summer months are hot commodities, and it can be hard to weed out the true gems that are available. Here’s a quick cheat sheet taking you straight to our top picks in the area.Photography: Courtesy Brittany Ambridge/OTTO, styling by Nina Freudenberger
The perfectly formed A-frame home of fashion designer Maria McManus and restaurateur Mark Gibson is a dream in every sense of the word. A five-minute walk from Ditch Plains, the sustainably designed house makes the most of the natural climate by eschewing air conditioning. Laid out with the bedrooms on the lower level, and its living room, kitchen and dining areas upstairs, the house is designed to be opened up so that the ocean breeze can cool it down naturally.
There is no shortage of thoughtful elements that pay homage to beach life here; be it the upstairs deck/terrace nestled amongst the trees, perfect for enjoying meals, an outdoor shower with just the right water pressure, or the assortment of bikes and body boards to enjoy a perfect day at the beach. Comfortable, yet elevated, this home is an ideal landing pad for visiting Montauk at any time of the year.
