Quiet residential area, so small families and couples will find it desirable. Large back yard where there is a charcoal grill and outdoor seating. 2 week minimum rentals, or as noted early in season. There is no A/C but many fans to keep the area cool on hot days.

There is a laundry room which has a full size washer and dryer. Please keep up with the towels and sheets. I supply them, including beach towels, but guests are responsible for making sure everything is clean (washed and dried) prior to departing.

Attention all fisherman! Sorry but there is no scaling or cleaning of fish inside the home. All of the prep work must be done outside on your own cutting board. This is to protect all guests from dealing with sticky fish scales on the counters and kitchen areas.

Perfect beach cottage at Ditch Plains!

From start to finish, our stay here was perfect! Ginger is an amazing host: timely and thoughtful communication from the moment I inquired about her property through check-out. She was so accommodating: letting us park at the house early on our arrival day and her check-out day policy makes for a stress-free departure. The house is SO adorable, charmingly decorated and so well equipped: you seriously want for nothing. Beach chairs, a beach cart, towels, bedding, paper supplies, stocked kitchen. The list goes on and on. It made our stay so comfortable and we truly felt like it was our home away from home. The backyard is huge and private: we brought our solo stove fire pit and enjoyed many evenings watching the moon rise and counting satellites. The lack of light pollution makes for wonderful star gazing. We had many meals outside on the picnic table in the sunshine! We kept our bikes and surfboards in the backyard for convenience too. The cottage is in the perfect location: a 1 minute bike ride to Ditch Plains beach (to the surfers middle parking lot, the first lot is even closer!) made it so easy to check the surf and then ride our boards down to paddle out. The outside rinsing station was great for rinsing wetsuits and feet and the clothesline was perfect for hanging up our wet gear in the sun to dry. We rode our bikes over to the Shadmoor trails (a very short bike ride away) and you can also access that trail from the first Ditch Plains parking lot which is a 2 minute walk from the house! We rode our bikes all over, really: it was an easy ride over to sunset beach on my beach cruiser. The ride out to the lighthouse was challenging but worth it. We took beach walks along the hoodoo cliffs almost every day. The sunset from there is gorgeous! We saw SO MANY whales and seals from the beach and the bluffs (and the lineup)! On cooler evenings we hunkered down in the living room on the comfy sectional couch. And I set up my travel office in the dining room while my husband used the nook in-between bedrooms. Phone reception is strangely wanting in Montauk, but the house Wifi was great! We had absolutely everything we needed in the kitchen to make wonderful meals at home, when we had had our fill of local lobster and wanted to stay in. We were SO sad to leave and can't wait to come back! Thank you for everything Ginger! Till next time!

Great Stay in Ditch Plains!

Ginger’s place is cozy and a very short walk from the beach. She’s a superb host (who seems to truly have thought of everything), and my wife and I had a wonderful time staying!

Everything you need and more

This was our second time staying at this house. It is the perfect little beach house. The location could not be better and the house is bigger than it looks in the pictures, not to mention the huge backyard. The host Ginger is awesome and super responsive. We’ll be back!

Ideal location

The home was even better than I expected. It is a fun, quirky beach house with lots of charm and character. It was fully stocked with everything we could ever need for great times at the beach. Ginger was communicative and there for us when we needed her, but otherwise let us enjoy our time freely. We can't wait to rent again.

About the host

Hosted by GINGER

I have been spending summers in this home since 1962 when my parents purchased it as their summer get away. It offered great fishing for them, and a better beach/sunbathing experience for me! I no longer can spend my summers there due to work requirements, so have turned to renting it starting in September 2018.

Why they chose this property

This “home” holds special memories for me and my children. I hope you and your family will also create some memories year after year.

What makes this property unique

My home is located in the popular Ditch Plains Beach section of Montauk. Park your car in the driveway, and the beach is approx. 500 feet away. There is a beach wagon to cart all your belongings to this beautiful area, that offers the protection of East Hampton Township lifeguards on duty.
