Montauk Dunes Real Estate manages luxury homes, estates, and rental properties in Westhampton personally — local, licensed, and experienced on both sides of the Hamptons market. Our principal broker handles every client directly, with no teams and no handoffs.
Whether you own a luxury home, a private estate, a seasonal summer rental, or a year-round investment property in Westhampton, we provide the hands-on management your property deserves.
Everything we do in Westhampton lives under one of four practices. Start with the one that fits your property — each covers its full family of services.
Watch visits, inspections, storm preparation, winterization, and emergency response for homes that sit empty part of the year.
Home Watch & Property Care →White-glove estate coordination, luxury home standards, housekeeping, and concierge support for distinguished properties.
Estate & Luxury Management →Tenant placement, rent collection, rental maintenance, vacation rentals, and eviction coordination — seasonal and year-round.
Rental Property Management →Preventive repairs, landscaping, pools, and a vetted East End vendor network coordinated under one calendar.
Maintenance & Vendor Services →Looking for something specific? Owners most often ask about home watch, estate management, tenant placement, housekeeping, pool maintenance, and storm preparation — or get in touch and we'll point you to the right plan.
We also handle concierge services, luxury home management, landscaping, vendor management, maintenance coordination, property inspections, emergency property services, winterization, seasonal home maintenance, rent collection, rental property maintenance, vacation rental management, eviction coordination, and the second home management program.
Montauk Dunes Real Estate is led by Laura Cawley, a licensed New York State real estate broker who works both sides of the Westhampton 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 estate or rental, that accountability is the difference between a property that is watched and one that is merely listed on a schedule.
Rental permit (Southampton Town Code Chapter 270). Westhampton is an unincorporated hamlet in the Town of Southampton, which requires a valid rental permit before a home is rented or any rent is collected. Permits run for two years and must be renewed. Montauk Dunes coordinates Southampton rental permit compliance as part of rental and vacation-rental management.
Westhampton 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 hamlet is a different job. The homes in Remsenburg and Speonk sit on wooded, established lots inland, while Quiogue and Westhampton Dunes reach toward the water and the barrier beach. Managing across Westhampton and its neighboring hamlets means matching the plan to each property and its setting.
From the wooded inland lots to the bay and the barrier beach, we manage properties across Westhampton and its neighboring hamlets.
Property management in the historic, wooded Remsenburg hamlet.
Remsenburg Property Management →Property management on the Dune Road barrier beach.
Westhampton Dunes Property Management →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.

Yes. The Town of Southampton requires most rental properties to hold a valid rental permit under Town Code Chapter 270 before a home is advertised or leased, and the registration must be renewed every two years. We coordinate rental permit compliance as part of rental and vacation-rental management, so you don't have to navigate the town process alone.
Westhampton, Remsenburg, Speonk, Quiogue, Westhampton Dunes, and Eastport — from the historic village center to the oceanfront estate sections and quiet hamlets beyond.
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.
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.
