Duryea's Sunset Cottages
Ray-catching hideaways
Montauk of the town
Made-for-two Duryea’s Sunset Cottages entertain from dawn to dusk with contemporary residences that tout bay-facing terraces, hot tubs and watersports kit. At-home comfort is paired with hosted ease, here: soft drinks and market-sourced snacks line your bar and pantry, and breakfast is served daily chez vous. Cycle down to place-to-be Duryea’s Montauk, where your cottage-guest status means you’ll swan past the lobster-hungry queue. Days are spent on or by the water, and come evening you’ll drift off with a sea-breeze soundtrack and choice of mattress softness.

Our Favourite Rooms
The name is a bit of a giveaway, but each pad at Duryea’s Sunset Cottages is designed with golden hour in mind. You’ll find a private furnished terrace with a hot tub at each cottage, but Sunset has added sea-gazing potential from its rooftop terrace, where sundowners feel extra special — it can also double as a yoga deck or dinner-party space. Bluff and Dune are poised close to the water’s edge; Shore feels more secluded with its set-back, tree-framed setting. You’ll want for nothing in each contemporary-coastal lodge, where breakfast, non-alcoholic drinks, market-sourced snacks and sweet treats are magically laid out daily on your kitchenette’s island.
Spa
Your hosts know the best spots in town for a massage; they can also recommend therapists for in-cottage treatments and yoga classes.
Packing Tips
No need to pack any entertainment: living rooms come kitted out with board games, terraces supply water views and sea-ready kit, and you’ll find newspapers, books and other curated essentials at the market.
Also
Every cottage has its own path down to the water and the resort’s private shoreline is reached via some steps down from the bluff. This rocky stretch is your launchpad to cooling dips and core-defining paddleboarding.
Children
Each residence at Duryea's Sunset Cottages is designed for two adults, but a free rollaway bed for one child under-11 can be added on request.

Food & Drink
Top Table
It’s walk-ins only — though cottage guests always get skip-the-queue privileges — so you won’t be able to request a table in advance. That said, you’ll get water glimpses wherever you’re sitting, and the high-energy atmosphere radiates inside or out.
Dress Code
As you like in your cottage; that fresh-off-the-yacht look for the Lobster Deck, with some Cannes-inspired accessories (wide-brimmed hat, linen shirt, Breton stripes).
Hotel Restaurant
A five-minute stroll from your cottage takes you to Duryea’s Montauk, a one-stop shop with a restaurant, market and boutique. The Lobster Deck is a Mediterranean-nodding eatery, inspired by the South of France’s rolling-with-rosé afternoons and designed for lingering lunches. Arrive like a local by boat — docking is included with your dining — and gaze out to Fort Pond Bay as you tuck into oyster-crowned seafood platters, for-the-table grilled fish and the mammoth lobster Cobb salad — a zingy, tarragon-dressed favorite.
You’ll get an introduction to the Market at breakfast, which is served in your cottage and spotlights pastries, juices, egg dishes and bagels from Duryea’s own shop; you can wander down to see it for yourself and pick up frothy brews, beach-ready sandwiches and to-go salads. Like any good host, Duryea’s doesn’t want you going hungry, so your bar is stocked with non-alcoholic tipples, your pantry is like a mini market in itself, and afternoon bites and post-dinner desserts are left on your kitchenette’s counter each day.
Hotel Bar
Rosé seems to be the drink of choice at the Lobster Deck, but you’ll also find other vintages, and local lagers and ales on offer. Your bar is lined with non-alcoholic choices, but as your hosts don’t supply wine or anything stronger for apéritifs at home, they’re very happy for you to bring back bottles to fill up your dedicated drinks fridge.
Last Orders
Duryea’s serves an all-day menu from noon to 10pm (from 11am on weekends).
Room Service
If you can’t face the walk to Duryea’s Montauk, you can order dishes from the Market or Lobster Deck to your door during kitchen hours.
Planes
Long Island MacArthur Airport is just over two hours’ drive; New York City’s JFK and LaGuardia airports are closer to three hours away by road. Private flights or helicopter charters can touch down at Montauk Airport, a 15-minute drive from the cottages.
Trains
The Long Island Rail Road route from New York City calls at Montauk station; it’s a five-minute drive and the hotel offers free station transfers.
Automobiles
A coastal road trip is a romantic way to reach the hotel, plus each cottage comes with a free parking space right outside its front door. Wheels come in handy for touring your Montauk locale, but you can swap four for two with the cottage’s free-to-use electric bikes.
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
There’s very little reason to venture from Duryea’s Sunset Cottages: breakfast, afternoon snacks and post-dinner sweets appear on your kitchenette island each day to fuel you for paddleboarding and swimming off the private shoreline, coastal electric-bike rides and in-cottage alfresco yoga or massages (arranged on request). Even extroverts are enticed by the prospect of staying at home, thanks to immaculate interiors, bay-gazing terraces and a made-for-two hot tub. A five-minute stroll away, Duryea’s Lobster Deck, market and boutique supply treats in all forms; the rest of Montauk delights with surf-ready beaches, seafood restaurants and scenic lighthouses.
