Wake up to the Atlantic on the horizon at 21 Tara Dr, a 5-bedroom, 4-bath Montauk retreat tucked along a quiet, tree-lined lane south of the highway, right by Gurney's Montauk Resort and Gigi's. A bluestone walkway winds through blooming hydrangeas to dark double doors beneath a leaded-glass transom, and cedar-shingle siding, crisp white trim, and a whale weathervane set the classic Montauk tone from the first glance. Out back, a private bluestone terrace surrounds a heated gunite pool with an inset spa, framed by mature hedges, ornamental grasses, and lush gardens, with lounge chairs, a shaded daybed, and a gas fire pit seating area for long evenings under the stars. Above it all, a spacious deck with ocean views stretches across the upper level, made for breakfast, dinner, and watching the Atlantic shimmer past the treetops. Inside, soaring windows and multiple sets of French doors flood the great room with light, with a marble-surround fireplace on a white shiplap wall, a large sectional, a dining table for eight, and extra seating at the kitchen bar. A walk-in pantry, a second fridge, and washer/dryer units keep a full house stocked and comfortable all week. The primary suite is a true retreat, with a luxe private bath featuring a soaking tub and two access points outdoors, one on the ocean side and one overlooking the front of the property. Four additional bedrooms are calm and coastal, with crown molding, ceiling fans, and recessed lighting, and the baths are finished in marble with a stylish powder room for guests. Peaceful, private, and close to the beaches, restaurants, and energy that make Montauk what it is, this is the perfect summer rental. Ocean views, a heated pool, and a south-of-the-highway location: Montauk summer, done right. Inquire today, because prime summer dates go fast.
