Cozy Beach - Direct Waterfront!
This house is a gem! I came to stay a week in off season with my dog, Rollo. The location is breathtaking, right on the Long Island Sound. We had a great time exploring the beach, looking for all the biodiversity in the birds and sea creatures, watching the boats, and this place is relatively close to an airport so watching the planes land and take off was awsome as well. We came for privacy, and I expected the beach to be a little more private than it was due to my dog's reactivity. But the neighbors did not seem to have issues with us, and once you are close to the water, especially in low tide, the beach is pretty open for all the locals. Walking around, the locals all waved and said hello. Not too many restaurants close by, but the Lobster Shack down the road had good food! Would stay again! The deck alone was worth it!

The Landing
The Landing was perfect for our weekend getaway. We stayed during the quiet season and felt like we were the only ones around. The house is designed to maximize the view of the water from where ever you are. Our weather was rainy and cold but we stayed cozy and warm by the fire. Being able to bring our older dog was a plus. With clear instructions and everything we needed in the house, we did not have to reach out to John much, but when we did, he was prompt and helpful. We would definitely rent again!

Twin Pond Ocean View 2 Bedroom #4
We come to Montauk often & loved this spot. Walkable & convenient to town plus a beach pass. The accommodation had plenty of space for a family with convenient parking. Highly recommend!

Pet-Friendly Private Beach Oceanfront Cottage A/C
Highly recommend! Beautiful space with an incredible location right on the water! Stunning sunsets and views! So quiet and peaceful. Appreciated the very clear directions from Elizabeth in terms of the house and local area! Can’t wait to return!

Cozy Home, Dog and Family Friendly - book today!
We loved Leslie's place and would book here again in a heartbeat - especially in beach season (we were there mid-April). We opted for Leslie's because of its great location over a much larger home with more amenities in the same price range - we were not disappointed! We have two teenage boys and we felt comfortable letting them explore the neighborhood on their own while we squeezed in a few hours of work. Walk or bike to beach, park, basketball courts, restaurants/bars, laundry and more. Encountered many friendly neighbors on our walks. Average 15 min drive to explore lots in West Haven/New Haven. The deck is almost as large as the house with a grill and great furniture. The fully fenced yard was perfect for our dog - even she felt right at home immediately! The inside is nicely decorated and very comfortable. I loved having my coffee/beer/ cocktail on the deck in view of Long Island Sound with my dog sunning herself by my feet! I highly recommend for couples or families of all ages!

Beach Haven - waterfront, near Yale, sunsets
It is a charming place back into the water. Love listening to the sound of the ocean and watching the sunset and the noght light on the other side of the water.

Perfect Waterfront Getaway with Semi-Private Beach
Loved it all. Will definitely stay again! One of the best hosts I've had on this site.

The Sea Breeze Ocean Beach House: 6 Queen
This Airbnb was spectacular just as advertised! Nice quick walk to the beach and beautiful scenery all around. Definitely recommend booking Airbnb with Charlotte because you’ll get the fantastic experiences.
Beachfront home rentals with a pool

Second Floor Corner Unit Overlooking the Ocean
A brief stay but a great stay. It was offseason but we got lucky with sunny October weather. The stay was less than a 5 minute drive from the main village with tons of shops, cafes, etc.. the room itself had a beautiful ocean view and was very clean and comfy. Nice shower, comfy beds, plenty of linens and towels provided. Parking included. Overall a very nice stay.

Fresh&Crisp 1BR w/Loft, Corner Unit + Amazing View
Great stay!! Beautiful ocean view and the complex itself is recently renovated, much more modern and luxe than expected!

Gorgeous home with saltwater pool. Steps to beach!
We had a fabulous stay at Spencer and Maddie's! Their house is lovely and perfect for a cozy family getaway. We especially loved the kitchen - stocked with all the necessary appliances, the fireplace and a welcoming family room. The house is tucked away in a quiet area, steps away from the beach and a short drive / jogging distance away from Greenport and its lovely cafes, nearby wineries and the beauty of North Fork. We appreciate how friendly, welcoming and responsive Spencer and Maddie were and look forward to coming back!

Spacious 4 bedroom, oasis with ocean views galore
The absolute best Air B & B we ever stayed at. Allana was a pleasure to work with. The home was spacious, and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, and more. Fireplace, pool, enclosed porch, sun room with coffee bar, sitting room, sunken living room, dining room with tons of chairs, kitchen bar with stools, dining room bar with stools, mud room with extra refrigerator and freezer, storage space galore, closets stocked with games, linen closets with anything you might need, big bedrooms, master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, balconies to soak in the sun, crib, high chair… too much more to even list. Our family had a fabulous time; the energy in the house is so welcoming! The soft blues are soothing, and quaint beach theme accents throughout the home lend to the relaxed vibe. The rooms flow perfectly, and provided ample space for different family members to have their own area to unwind in. Steps from beach & playground, the neighborhood is perfect for a stroll.

Seaside Summer Escape –2BR Waterfront Condo w/Pool
My stay at Julie’s was wonderful, I was always able to message and get a quick response she was very accommodating. The view was beautiful and felt comfy like home. I will definitely be returning in the summer once it’s warmer !

Beachside Waterview 2Br Condo w/ Pool in Greenport
The place was perfect nice and clean what I like the best is the it was close to the beach to go for a walk.

Oceanfront Corner Studio Bungalow on the beach
My stay here was a perfect respite away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Tucked away in the dunes, very short walk to access the beach, quick ride into downtown Montauk, and private. Very beautiful place and I will definitely be back. Thank you again!

Waterfront Historic Wickford Village Home!
We stayed for only 1 night. The description and reviews are accurate. The house was exactly what we needed. The location is great with an easy walk into town. Our son caught 3 fish off the dock. We loved our quick stay and would absolutely stay again.
Private beachfront home rentals

Beachfront Cottage Serene Private Beach, Kayaks
We loved it. Redefines “fully stocked” - David’s place had everything we could ask for. The water at high tide was magical. Kayaking, fishing and we found over 100 (literally) hermit crabs.

A Beach House Gem
We continue to visit Rose’s house for our yearly weekend girls getaway. It’s the perfect cozy beautiful place to catch up with friends and relax. Rose is an amazing host!

Newly Built Beach House Getaway
The location was amazing and the house was beautiful. One of the nicest air BnB I’ve stayed in!

Waterfront Home with Private Beach
Brandon's place was dreamy for our two families with young kiddos -- cozy and quiet winter beach vibes, very atmospheric and peaceful and relaxing. We built a fire in the fireplace, watched movies, enjoyed the sunrise and sunset, and walked along the rocky shore. Would recommend, even in the dead of winter.

Oceanside home steps to private beach!
We had a wonderful time! The cottage is well located; we were able to drive back & forth to New London, Mystic, & several other towns. We did so many things on this trip: saw a movie, saw a play, went to Ocean Beach twice, Mystic Seaport, & the Yale Peabody museum. My only complaint is that we should have stayed "home" more & enjoyed our own beach more often! We took walks every day and watched for the tide to reveal the sand bar & walked out there whenever we could, which was so cool! The sound of the water changed when the sandbar was revealed. We found lots of cool shells. We really appreciated the chairs & umbrella in the well stocked shed. We did a little grocery shopping and made egg sandwiches so we only ate out once a day which saved money. I ate my sandwiches outside day & night, something I never do at home. The house was completely stocked with everything needed plus some! The only negative was not enough curtains which made it too bright to sleep & not enough privacy.

The Eagle- Private Beach
We had such a great time at this beach house! The place was super clean, and everything was easy to find. The directions were clear, and the host was awesome—gave us great ideas for things to do in the area. We had a blast and would definitely stay here again!

Oceanfront Sleeps 12~ Linens inc 3 Bedrooms~2 Bath
This was the best Airbnb experience we’ve had! I came here with kids, and they had a great time. Laura is the best host I’ve ever dealt with! She went above and beyond for us. If I come back to the area, I’m staying here!

Direct Waterfront with Private Beach - Entire Home
I was in town for a family event and wanted something other than a hotel room. The home was cozy and inviting, instructions were clear and precise. Being late October the weather was unbelievable warm. We (me and 2 sisters) were able to enjoy the wonderful deck and beautiful scenery. It was peaceful and quiet with an amazing views. Thank you Larry and Denise for sharing your beautiful home.
