The nuts and bolts
5 bedrooms
3.5 bathrooms
.87 acres
House proud
This listing includes two cottages rebuilt in 2019: one is bayfront and the other oceanfront, each with its own kitchen, living and sleeping quarters and dedicated outdoor space. Adjacent to preserved town-owned land, the property offers protected unobstructed bay-to-ocean views.
“It’s a very fun opportunity with the original quintessential beach cottages rebuilt from the ground up,” says Adam Hofer, the Douglas Elliman agent listing the property. “With the town owning the property to the east, it’s reserved and makes a nice, private setting right on a huge beach. I can’t think of anything else like this.”
What’s the plan?
The bay-facing, roadside one-story cottage — the larger of the two — offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an open-format for the living room and kitchen. The deck is positioned for viewing sunsets.
The ocean-facing one-bedroom cottage features a loft, two bathrooms on either side of the kitchen and a larger living room with custom bookshelves and sliders facing the ocean.
“We’re seeing growing demand for properties that function beyond a single residence that offer flexibility, privacy, and the ability to adapt to how people actually live and entertain today.” Hofer says.
What else?
Both cottages were renovated with custom built-in features that maximize the space.

One cool thing
“The property delivers both sunrise and sunset exposures — unobstructed ocean to bay views — something rarely found in a single offering,” Hofer notes.
Agent’s callout
“These cottages are really about the location and the private access to water,” Hofer says. “If you don’t want or need a large house, this is an attractive offering with a built-in guest house option.” He adds, “The pricing is almost the price of just the land value for just shy of an acre on the ocean, but at this price, you’re getting so much more with the buildings.”
Location, location, location
The cottages are less than half a mile from the Quogue Historic District and 2.4 miles from Westhampton Beach. Also nearby is the Quogue Wildlife Refuge, a 305-acre non-profit nature preserve that was founded in 1934 and offers free access year ‘round with seven miles of hiking trails and care for permanently injured wildlife, and a summer ecology camp program for youth. The Westhampton Dwarf Pine Plains Preserve is a rare ecosystem with a recently opened .6-mile hiking trail and opportunities to observe uncommon wildlife and bird species.
