Enjoy the kid-friendly heatable pool with retractable safety cover, the adult-friendly hot tub, and bucolic privacy in our lush setting in famous Hither Hills, just a few minutes’ walk to the best ocean beach on Long Island. The 14 sleeper, 5 bed, 4 full bath upside down is a classic beach house that includes a cozy attached cottage -- a rare survivor of 1950s Montauk -- that has been dramatically transformed into a spectacular getaway complete with everything you need for a beachside vacation. The coveted Hither Hills beach pass and chain key are included with your rental.

To start, the new deck dramatically overlooks the backyard pool, lawn, and elegant lounge area, all of which is fully fenced and expansive, perfect for kids (or pets) to romp. Two of the property’s five bedrooms open directly onto the poolside patio, which also contains the 6-person hot tub, so you can wake up each morning to effortless quick dips before hitting the beach or town.

The large living/dining area supports seating for 12 comfortably in couches and/or soft armchairs and ottomans, so you’ll never resort to the awkward standing or makeshift seating that is all too common in vacation homes. The inside dining table seats 8-10 for family dinners, but you also have two large teak dining tables outside to choose from, 1 on the 2nd story deck just off the main living area and the other at the poolside lounge with the giant firepit, both seating up to 10.

The large pool has a retractable safety cover and is shallow on both sides and deeper in the middle, with stadium steps on both ends, which is great for young kids who can’t venture into deeper water. And yes, an outdoor shower is available, or make that three. Two locking and fully private showers (one by the pool and one outside the cottage), the other “alfresco” for quick rinses and washdowns after the beach or hot tub. Notably, the property is on town water (not a well), so the pressure is wonderful!

The kitchen has all new appliances, including a convection/induction stove and cooktop, coffeemaker, large microwave, etc. and is directly adjacent to the main living room for easy interaction. The four full baths have three tub/shower combinations and even the auxiliary kitchen “powder room” has a convenient shower.

The living room has a very large Roku TV should you need a break from paradise to catch a family movie or sporting event. Two of the five bedrooms also have Roku TVs. Many games and an impressive children’s library will take the edge off any rainy days. The furniture and ambience is all Montauk, both beachy and eclectic, with more than a few historical finds in the mix.

Safety is important to us, so you will find multiple fire extinguishers and smoke detectors throughout the property, which is non-smoking. The pool has an electric retractable pool cover for safety, but watching your kids closely is always best! The back yard is completely fenced with child locks on all gates.
