About this property
Family and dog friendly, work from home Montauk retreat. 1 min to Ditch Plains.
This is a great house for families and work-from-home summer camp for all. Kid friendly and dog friendly (hypoallergenic only please).
On the main floor there is an open living room with vaulted ceiling and skylights, a dining area and kitchen, a sun room used as a private yoga studio/art room/office/music room, and there is one bedroom with a full bathroom.
Upstairs is a spacious master bedroom with two home office spaces on opposite ends of the room, a third bedroom and skylight bathroom.
The finished, walk-in basement has a den area with sofa and TV, a bathroom and laundry room.
The sun porch is equipped with an electric keyboard, yoga mats and blocks, elastic resistance bands, arts and crafts supplies, and a table top with two chairs.
This home is equipped with 6 separate desks and work areas to accommodate work-from-home and the ability to separate while doing so. 2 desks with monitors are found in the master bedroom along with a multi-function WiFi printer. One desk with a monitor is found in the second upstairs bedroom. There is a vintage secretary desk in the living room and a table top with a monitor in the multi-use sun room. There is a make-shift desk installed in part of the guest bedroom closet space.
Outside there is an outdoor shower, vegetable garden, two modest decks and a giant patio w/fire pit. Outdoor tables are sun-protected by big umbrellas. The front deck has a Weber Genesis 3-burner grill, a round teak dining table and a small herb garden. The patio has padded reclining chairs, a 12-seat picnic table and a 7-foot long fire pit.
The house is stocked with beach chairs/towels, a large beach umbrella, kids sand toys and various lawn toys, bats, balls, kids fishing poles and boogie boards as well as a beach cart to haul more than you can carry to the beach. We also offer two stand up paddle boards and a kayak for your use along with 4 life preservers.
The back yard has a fenced dog run and activity space. It is accessible by gates at either end and from the back door of the house to make letting the dog out/in super easy.
1 min drive to Ditch Plain Beach. 2 blk walk to Montauk Downs State Park. 3 miles to Montauk Point Lighthouse and Camp Hero State Park. 1 mile to town center.
Placing all of the above on large, private and open surrounding grounds, makes this the perfect summer getaway.

About the host
Hosted by Jim Schoenburg
Originally from California, now residing in Brooklyn when not in Montauk (which is every chance we get).
25 years ago I discovered Montauk through a friend and fellow Angelino. For me, it's the closest approximation of the west coast that one can find in the north east, and I knew right away that I needed to be there.

Why they chose this property
Our family has enjoyed time together and with friends in this vacation home for a decade. We came upon it after spending the previous decade renting summer homes and keeping an eye out for properties that both captured our imagination and we could afford.
Just after the birth of our first daughter, we decided to buy a home in Montauk. After having a deal fall through on one house, we just happened to see this one. It was a bit odd: a log cabin in Montauk. But it had potential and great grounds, and it's located so conveniently near everything. So with quite a bit of work over time, we fixed it up. We put in new windows, lights, siding, carpets, and skylights. We finished the basement, renovated decks and built a giant patio with a giant fire pit and giant picnic table with a giant umbrella.

What makes this property unique
Now the house has a rather warm, unique blend of rustic log cabin furnished in a slightly mid-century modern fashion. It's set back from the street and surrounded by native vegetation for solid privacy. Skylights and windows let in the light and greenery. Kids have plenty of room to roam and run outside. The main deck and patio combine for a large entertaining space and the fire pit can accommodate at least 5 or 6 marshmallow-roasting s'more makers at a time.
It's super close to the beach, most reliable surf, and the state park for golf, tennis and swimming. It's just the right convenient distance from town and the marina.
We find it to be a very tranquil, comfortable place to live and relax. Deer wander by at twilight. Robins and Cardinals share the grounds with rabbits and an occasional Osprey. We're happy to share it with visiting families and vacationers eager to experience Montauk fully.
