Sands Hotel Montauk

Enduring Hospitality has acquired Montauk’s Sands Motel from its long-time family owners. The 43-key hotel complex, listed for $28 million last summer, boasts over 250 feet of frontage on Montauk Highway and scenic views of the ocean and Fort Pond. The property, spanning four parcels mainly at 71 South Emerson Avenue, totals 19,000 square feet and offers one- and two-bedroom units, some with kitchenettes. Compass Commercial facilitated the sale, with plans to revamp the hotel focusing on health and wellness while preserving Montauk’s surf culture. Recent Montauk hotel deals include Blue Flag Partners’ purchase of Sunset Beach motel and KSL Capital Partners’ acquisition of Marram.
