Amagansett Dunes: Hot Tub, Private Beach

Get away from it all in the Amagansett Dunes—the best neighborhood in the Hamptons. Our beautiful house is just a two block walk to the ocean, where you'll have access to a stunning beach with private access. The house is surrounded by natural beauty with an airy and bright open-plan layout. We have a lovely cedar hot tub that feels like a retreat to Japan or Finland, plus a Tesla Charging Station. IMPORTANT: Town law prohibits renting to more than 4 unrelated adults. Read on for more details. The space This mid-century modern house was built by an artist and has a comfortably stylish look — just the right mix of beachy and chic. Tall windows overlook the surrounding pines and dunes landscape. There's central air conditioning, but you may prefer to leave the windows open to catch the beach breezes and fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. There's a big, furnished deck that is perfect for alfresco meals at the table, which can expand to seat up to 12. There is also a retractable awning that provides great shade over the table. Enjoy some time in our cedar hot tub, which fits 4 adults comfortably. Or just catch some rays on one of the lounge chairs. Down below, there is an outdoor shower and a shaded seating area. This is an upside-down house, with the living areas on the upper level, which gives the feeling of being in a very lovely treehouse. Inside, you will find an open plan living/dining area, decorated with crisp white slipcovered furniture. There's also a bright, open sitting room off the living area that is the perfect place to curl up with a good book or watch TV. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need for cooking and entertaining: plenty of dishes, glasses, pots/pans, bowls, serving trays, coffeemaker, blender, Cuisinart, mixer, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, and so on. The house is equipped with WiFi and a Sonos system, as well as TV/cable. We also have two beach bicycles for your use. THE VIBE This is the kind of laid-back beach house where you can leave your surfboard propped against the house, put your feet up on the coffee table, and host a great dinner party. It's perfect for families, beach lovers, and adventure buffs who can spend the day swimming, biking, kayaking, stand-up paddling, exploring, or just relaxing. Foodies will love the assortment of chef-quality grills (gas, wood-fired, wood pellet). You can make meals using produce from the local farmstands and shellfish caught that morning at low tide. The perfect end to a perfect day? A bonfire on the nearby ocean beach. LOCATION The closest beach is an 8-minute walk away (or just a couple minutes on a bike). It's accessed via a private deeded path for neighborhood residents, which means it's always uncrowded. Atlantic Beach and its well-known Snack Shack is about a 15-minute stroll along the beach. It's just a few minutes' drive or a 30-minute walk to the center of Amagansett and the train/jitney, so a car is nice to have but not necessary, as there are house bikes for your use. THE BEDROOMS There are four bedrooms. Two are upstairs; the other two are on the ground level, which is accessed by a spiral staircase. There are three baths (two up, one down), and an outdoor shower. All of the bedrooms have good closet space and are well-furnished (dressers, sidetables, reading lamps, etc). The two downstairs bedrooms open to a terrace with a table and chairs where you can sit and have a coffee under the canopy of trees. Bedroom descriptions are as follows: 1. The upstairs Master has its own en-suite bathroom. This room has a new Tempurpedic king-size bed. 2. The upstairs Twin room has two twin-size beds. The room is right next to the main bathroom. 3. The long room downstairs has ample space, with both a queen-size bed and a full-size bed. This room opens onto an antique brick patio. It is right next to the shared downstairs bathroom. 4. The other downstairs bedroom has a queen-size bed, as well as access to the patio. It is also next to the shared downstairs bathroom.
