The house was perfect for our weekend getaway! Love the house and space was perfect for us. The stocked coffee bar was a bonus. Loved getting up and having my coffee on the porch staring at the ocean and so convenient to be able to walk to town. We will definitely book again :)

Fantastic location, easy process

We had a great week in Montauk. You are not only right off the beach, but you end up having a large section of beach to yourself most days. The house is easy to access, has plenty of queen size beds and bathrooms, and the kitchen / cooking arrangement worked great for us. Highly recommended.

Wonderful stay in Montauk!

This property is perfect for a group/family trip to Montauk! It is spacious with a large kitchen, tons of outdoor space and most of the rooms have en suite bathrooms. Check-in was easy through a code system and just across the road is beautiful beach. The host was immediately responsive when we had issues accessing the wifi and made the stay seamless throughout!

Great location across the street from the ocean. People living behind the property were very helpful. Just a little disappointed that we didn't receive a supply of coffee for our stay. We have always been given coffee at every place we have rented.

We rented the house for a family reunion so our mom could have all 3 of her children & grandchildren around her. It was a perfect setup. We loved every minute at this house, in the porch and the elevated deck . We plan on returning next year.

Sunrise B&B was the best!!! Such an amazing place to gather for our daughter’s wedding weekend. The house was roomy, comfortable, and homey! And the incredible view!! The Atlantic Ocean right at your door! Many hours were spent on the great front porch watching whales, seals, and the waves!

We had a peaceful and serene winter vacation with glorious winter sunsets

What an awesome vacation!! Couldn’t have asked for better accommodations.! The house was perfectly located for a wonderful winter get away! The rooms were beautifully appointed, most with their own private sitting areas, fireplaces and updated bathrooms. The kitchen was spacious with granite counters and gas stove which was great for cooking a large post Christmas dinner for the whole family. The ocean can be seen from almost every room!! We had such a great time that no one wanted to leave! We can’t wait to come back again next year!!

Family Get Together Over 4th Of July

Quaint house with great location (and views) across the road from beautiful beach. Three of the five bedrooms are quite large with fireplaces and sitting areas. One is average sized and one is small. All of the bedrooms have their own 3/4 bath except the small bedroom off kitchen which has access to 3/4 bath near by. The kitchen is large and well equipped. House comes with beach chairs and umbrellas and bikes which we used a lot. Only issues with house are the bathroom door off kitchen is swollen and doesn’t close. Also, there is some noise from road in front of house but doesn’t offset the benefit of proximity to beach and wonderful view of ocean.

Fabulous Family Seaside Escape

We came to Montauk to get out of the city and spend time together as a family to just have fun. The house was Perfect!!! The view, the setting and the roominess of the house and seaside views made our stay everything we hoped it would be. There was plenty of private space for alone time too. The hosts were always available and even came by to check that all was good and offered some great tips on restaurants and things to do. And pointed out a dolphin!!!!! All the suggested restaurants were wonderful and we enjoyed all of them. The house provided more than enough space for us to have family meals and board game time. We also appreciated all the kitchen amenities. We will definitely be coming back!!!!! Thank You Stacey for making our stay such a memorable one.

Steps from the beach and more...

Ample room for everybody, exactly what you'd expect from a beach house in Montauk. A sense of history with the house and comfort-- nothing too precious and what we needed. Kitchen was big with great pots and skillets, view was great, beach chairs super comfy and the porch was the icing on the cake!

Wonderful space in a perfect location

My wife and I enjoyed the down time with walks on the beach with the beagles while my young-adult daughter and her boyfriend liked the walking distance to Montauk. We had a great half-day fishing trip too and the weather was spectacular! Can't give it six stars so settled for five. ;)
