A perfect day in Montauk at the Panoramic View Resort.
Located at “The End” (or if you are a local “The Beginning”) of Long Island is a hamlet located within the city of East Hampton called Montauk. This little piece of land hosts six state parks, the fourth oldest lighthouse in the United States, countless restaurants, and less than 4,000 residents. It is known for its beautiful beaches, great fishing, and of course with that comes amazing seafood.
Located on 10 breathtaking acres of ocean front property, Panoramic View seriously blew me away from the moment I arrived at 272 Old Montauk Highway. As I entered the driveway and drove down to the parking area, I was welcomed with a spectacular view of the Atlantic. I knew right at that moment that this place was something special.
The front window of the Sandpiper beach cottage really made for a great view.
Checking in at the front office was a piece of cake. The staff at Panoramic View made it clear that if I needed anything they were just a quick phone call away. Okay so I got the keys to the beachfront cottage…time to check in! I was given the “Sandpiper” cottage, which was located right off the beach. How cool is that!

Front porch...perfect spot to crack open a beer and enjoy the view.
Private backyard area to enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner outdoors.
The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage offered great features like my very own private patio and a nice size front porch. The living room looked out onto the beach via a huge window that indeed gave me a panoramic view. The living room also had a table for meals, a chilly A/C unit in the wall (individually controlled heat is available during the colder months), a comfy couch, and an equally soft chair. The television was equipped with cable and I even had my very own fireplace. As much as I was tempted to light up a burning fire in my beach cottage, I decided to just leave it alone…especially since it was 85 degrees outside.
The fully equipped kitchen had lots of items that came in handy (i.e. wine opener).
The kitchen was cozy and gave off that beachfront cottage vibe. It was equipped with dishes, cups, a toaster, microwave, wine opener, can opener, silverware, ice trays, and many other necessities that came in handy during my stay. After browsing the kitchen, it was time to check out the rest of this place. So I walked up a few steps to see that this little cottage had much more to offer.

I found two huge bedrooms that each had an enormous king size bed in them. Both rooms were also equipped with cable television, plenty of lights, and air conditioner units. The two bathrooms were stocked with shampoo, conditioner, soaps, and a few days worth of quality towels and hand/face rags. In the hallway closet was an iron and ironing board, a swiffer floor cleaner (in case you have any accidents), and a flashlight (which comes in handy since it is so dark by the beach at night).

Entrance to Gosman's Dock (great seafood restaurant, home made ice cream store, and other shops)
What made Panoramic View also pretty special was the location of the resort. Although it is nestled away on a private beach off of Old Montauk Highway, I was able to hop in my car and be in the busy downtown area within five minutes. I also hit up popular locales in Montauk, like the famous lighthouse and Gosman’s Dock, within a ten minute by car. If you are without an automobile, do not fret, just simply hop on an LIRR train to Montauk and then grab a taxi at the station.
Morning in Montauk. What a great way to start my day!
So what are you waiting for? Check out Panoramic View for more information on rates, availability, and any other general questions. But I must warn you, once you book a stay here it will be very difficult to part with this amazing resort. Enjoy the view!
