Staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Rooms were spotless and comfortable. Location was great- close to coffee, dining and downtown, quiet and secluded beach. Will definitely revisit!

The White Sands was exactly what we need. The location was perfect, right next to Lunch and Clam Bar, and a short drive to both East and Montauk. The beach is also incredible. Perfectly tucked away, there beach was not crowded (even on 4th of July weekend) and just STEPS away from our room. The owner is a great guy and his hospitality was phenomenal. Definitely staying here again.

We fell in love with this hotel. We had an oceanfront suite and it was just incredible. The view of the Atlantic from the large deck above the dunes was stunning. There was so much room to spread out and relax under the retractable awning on the patio table and lounge chairs. The night sky was beautiful from the deck at night with the gentle ocean spray from the breeze. Our room was so comfy and clean. The kitchenette and bathrooms were so clean. I looked all around and didn't find any stray hairs, dust or anything else in the room corners, under the couch, in the closet or in the drawers. All of the kitchenware, plates, cups provided and the kitchen sink and fridge were super clean. We were pleased and surprised to find a separate 1/2 bath in addition to the full bath in our room. The king bed and its pillows were very soft. There were ACs in the living space and bedrooms as well as ceiling fans plus two sets sliding glass doors and windows everywhere. The front garden was beyond gorgeous with blooms everywhere up the stairs and along the winding stone paths. It was a dream and clearly a talented gardener's labor of love. The rear courtyard was really fun with charcoal grills, patio tables and lounge chairs. We used the grills several times and noticed some of the same other guests do the same. They were really clean. The sand in the courtyard was perfectly manicured every morning when we walked through to go down to the beach. Also equally as wonderful was the hospitality. Everyone we encountered who worked there was so welcoming and helpful. Check in and check out was a breeze. They were also so nice about giving recommendations to best see the Montauk July 4th fireworks. They were also really thoughtful and had parking spots marked with room numbers to make parking super simple. The beach itself beyond the dunes was wonderful. The hotel has beach chairs and umbrellas to loan the guest that we didn't realize and we brought and used our own. There are a few nearby access points that folks not staying at the hotel use. Even on the 4th of July the beach didn't feel crowded. It was truly a dream. We can't wait to return.

We had a GREAT time during our stay at this oceanfront hotel!!

Basic rooms. Ours had an air conditioner. Get and ocean facing room. That’s the reason to stay here. Beautiful grounds and patio with charcoal grills and tables. Amazing gardens to explore in front. Funky art installations too. This was a last minute booking while on the road to take a day trip to Montauk. Staff was super helpful and friendly. We only stayed the one night, but wished it could have been more! If you’re looking for simple, quiet and relaxing, close to Montauk, this is the place! We are adding it to our list of local “staycation” spots!

Sorry for the 3 star review, but the price/performance here sucks! I stayed over labor day weekend with my brother and his wife that was visiting from the left coast. I can’t recommend this one because they knowingly pray on the folks that can’t find rooms in larger, more traditional hotels. The high prices are to be expected anywhere in this town or area, but it’s still excessive. The drift wood hotel down the road was less expensive with larger, more modern rooms. BUT, if you’re looking to avoid the “busy” and you want somewhat of an escape, then this place might work. The hotel is clearly aimed at the NYC crowds. I think most end up here when there are no other options available. And that statement is NOT meant to be negative. It appears that it was also renovated within the last 10 years or so. It’s nice, but nothing special. The White Sands (nothing white about the sand there). It’s situated nearly level with the beach front which provides a great view of the ocean. It’s located in a small neighborhood of really cute homes that are priced like estates (lots of “for sale” signs). It’s surprisingly quiet on the weekends, which is a big plus. One thing that really bothered me about this place was the staff. They constantly asked if we were staying there just about every single time we traveled through the hotel’s beach entrance. Believe me, I know it seems petty, but it gets incredibly annoying when it’s 95 degrees out, the sun is blinding you and baking you to an extra crispy crust. After the 2nd or 3rd time, you want to shake them and say, “I don’t have time to respond to your stupid questions. I’m on the way to the beach. Please stop asking! I’m baking at 500 degrees and trying to make it to the ocean, so please leave me the fudge along!”.

For more than 30 years our family has experienced "elegant simplicity" at White Sands Resort. The accommodations and staff are excellent and friendly. It reminds you of a European Guesthouse by the Atlantic Ocean. White Sands is a great place to rest, relax, and get in touch with nature and the ocean. What more would you need? It is simply perfection.
