Perfect mini getaway

The cottage was absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. It was spotless, thoughtfully furnished, and stocked with everything we could possibly need. Each room felt cozy, and offered a view of the garden or lake from the windows. The location was perfect - just a short walk or bike ride to town, yet tucked away enough to enjoy peace and quiet. We were treated to stunning sunsets over the lake and a sky full of stars each night. Laura was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend it, and would love to stay again!

Perfect getaway

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!

Spring getaway

It was even better than described in the listing. The house was well equipped and very updated. We loved the fenced yard and all the outdoor amenities. We walked to the beach every morning and to restaurants and shopping several times a day. This property has the most amazing sunset view, which we enjoyed each evening. Highly recommend this one.

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!

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!

MTK PERFECTION!

My husband and sons (ages 14 & 9) just returned from an idylic long weekend at this stunning pond front cottage. From dealing with the owner, to the location, to the spectacular design, to cleanliness, this home is truly one of the best we have ever had the pleasure to stay in! I can not recommend this cottage enough! It is perfect for a couple's getaway, two couples heading out East or a family of four with older children (due to steep stairs leading directly to water). The spot is serene and perfect for decompressing from everyday life in 2021! You can do as much or as little as you like, the location is central to everything in MTK! Just pack your toothbrush and BOOK IT NOW!

Laura’s cottage was perfect. Beautifully designed, thoughtfully supplied, immaculate, perfect location a short walk to town and beaches, with a gorgeous grassy yard overlooking the lake. Waking up to the water view and watching the sun set over Fort Pond was just magical. Loved the outdoor shower, and so many other details. Fantastic rental.

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.

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.
