Wonderful Getaway

The host Kelly was incredibly kind and had a wonderful place for us to stay. She offered insight into things to do in the area and was open for giving recommendations or ideas for things to do. The stay was fantastic and I will definitely be looking to stay here again if I return to Montauk!

Always a pleasure staying at Duffy's on Lake Montauk

Second time staying at this lovely property and as always had a great stay. Beautiful property on the lake with everything you need to make the stay perfect (I especially liked the cookies). Had the pleasure of meeting Rick one of the owners of the property and he couldn't have been nicer. We will be back next year.

Montauk Get Away

Everything about this VRBO was perfect for us. The minute we walked in we were impressed. It was very clean and well stocked. It was a perfect location to go to restaurants and the beach. We unfortunately had some rain while there but the porch with the umbrella let us sit outside to relax and read.

Great Stay in Montauk

After being underwhelmed by some previous highly-rated VRBO stays, I am happy to report this one completely lives up to its description and reviews. Wonderful accommodation and location - I can't think of anything I would change. Kelly is a great communicator and a pleasure to deal with.

Montauk trip

Outstanding!! I am not one for reviews, however I would be remiss if I did not review our experiences. Kelly was super responsive, accommodating and understanding of our situation. If I could give her 10 stars I would. The property was as advertised, very clean and comfortable. I would definitely look to stay here again.

Paradise!

Old West Lake exceeded our expectations! The unit itself was the most well-appointed VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. The hosts thought of everything you may need or want while staying in your home away from home! From the available beach chairs, kayaks, grill with picnic area and fire pit (complete with fire wood and starters!) over looking Lake Montauk, this place is a little slice of heaven. The unit itself was clean and had many perks as well. We will definitely be back!

Montauk Memorial Day Weekend

Our trip couldn’t have gone any better, thanks to Kelly and the room. Kelly was timely and helpful in every question we had and made our trip seamless. The rooms were well kept, had many amenities, and were evidently taken care of, but our favorite part was the outdoor seating area which overlooks Lake Montauk and provides gorgeous sunsets. Kelly went above and beyond with recommendations of activities and restaurants in town and a little welcome gift. The only drawbacks were the lack of privacy come nighttime (the blinds didn’t conceal the room at night if lights were on inside) and the kayaks were outdated… however, we had an amazing trip thanks to Duffy’s on Lake Montauk.

Chicken soup for the soul!

Staying at Kelly’s lakefront property in Montauk was truly a healing experience. From the moment we arrived, the serene surroundings washed away the stress of daily life. The house was spotless and beautifully maintained, with every amenity thoughtfully provided. Whether sipping coffee on the deck in the mornings or winding down with a book as the sun set, the peace and tranquility here are unparalleled. Kelly thought of everything to make our stay so much more enjoyable and special, that we didn’t even need anything. Despite feeling like a secluded retreat, the property is just a short drive from town, making it easy to explore Montauk's charming shops and restaurants. This place isn't just a rental—it's a restorative escape that nurtures the soul. We left feeling rejuvenated and can't wait to return.
