Managed Personally by
Laura Cawley

Montauk Dunes Real Estate is led by Laura Cawley, a licensed New York State real estate broker who works both sides of the Westhampton Beach market — listing and managing. Every client is handled by the principal broker directly. There are no account teams, no handoffs, and no call center between you and the person responsible for your property.

That means the person who inspects your home, negotiates your lease, and answers your call after a storm is the same licensed broker who quoted the work. For an Westhampton Beach estate or rental, that accountability is the difference between a property that is watched and one that is merely listed on a schedule.

  • Certified Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE)
  • Principal-broker service on every account — no handoffs
  • Direct experience on both the sales and management sides of the Hamptons market
  • Local vendor network across the East End
  • Town of Village of Westhampton Beach rental registration compliance handled in-house

What Westhampton Beach Owners Need to Know

Rental registration (Village of Westhampton Beach). Westhampton Beach is an incorporated village within the Village of Westhampton Beach, and the Village runs its own rental registry — rental homes must be registered before they are rented. Getting registration right matters, and Montauk Dunes confirms the current requirement for your address and handles the filing as part of rental management.

Westhampton Beach runs on a summer calendar. Peak demand and premium rents concentrate between Memorial Day and Labor Day, while much of the housing stock empties out from fall through spring — the window when unwatched homes are most exposed to freeze damage, nor'easters, and slow leaks. Off-season home watch, winterization, and storm preparation exist for exactly that window.

Every block is a different job. An oceanfront home on Dune Road or at Rogers Beach has different exposure than a village home near Main Street, a bayfront property at Oneck, or an inland house at Seafield or Aspatuck. Managing across the barrier beach and the village means matching the plan to each property's exposure, not applying one template.

Westhampton Beach Property Management FAQ

What does property management cost in Westhampton Beach?

Full-service rental management typically runs 8%–12% of collected rent per month. Tenant placement is usually priced separately — around one month's rent for annual leases, or a percentage of the gross lease for seasonal summer rentals. Home watch and estate care for non-tenanted properties are usually billed as a flat monthly retainer based on property size and visit frequency. See the full cost guide for details.

What does a property manager actually handle in Westhampton Beach?

Rental pricing analysis and MLS marketing, tenant screening and lease preparation, monthly rent collection and accounting, maintenance coordination with local East End contractors, seasonal preparation and closedown, rental registration compliance, and eviction coordination when needed. See the full list above under "What We Handle in Westhampton Beach."

Do I need a rental registration number to rent my home in Westhampton Beach?

Yes. The Village of Westhampton Beach requires most rental properties to hold a registration under the Village of Westhampton Beach rental registry before a home is advertised or leased, and the registration must be renewed as the Village requires. We coordinate rental registration compliance as part of rental and vacation-rental management, so you don't have to navigate the town process alone.

Which Westhampton Beach neighborhoods do you serve?

the Village center, Dune Road, Rogers Beach, Oneck, Seafield, and Aspatuck — from the historic village center to the oceanfront estate sections and quiet hamlets beyond.

Do you manage both rental properties and non-rental estates?

Yes. Rental property management covers tenant placement, rent collection, and maintenance for tenanted homes. Estate and luxury home management, plus home watch, covers second homes and estates that sit vacant part of the year.

Do you manage Westhampton Beach properties year-round or only in season?

Both. We manage seasonal summer rentals, year-round investment properties, and second homes that sit empty off-season — including fall winterization, off-season home watch, and storm preparation for nor'easters and hurricanes.

How is Montauk Dunes different from a larger management company?

Every client is handled directly by the principal broker — no teams, no handoffs, no call center. You're speaking with the person actually managing your property.
