Sea Roost: a Fisherman’s Haven
Nestled in the serene Hither Hills of Montauk, Sea Roost the latest project from Matt Albiani and Ron Brand, the duo behind Montecito’s Mate Gallery. Known for their signature rustic New England maritime style and fisherman-inspired aesthetic, they’ve transformed this private two-cottage compound into a coastal escape where thoughtful design meets the effortless charm of a classic seaside home.
The space
Sea Roost blends the warmth of lived-in comfort with the authenticity of a fisherman’s retreat. Sunlight fills the airy interiors, highlighting carefully chosen furnishings, natural wood, and nautical touches that feel collected over time. Every corner reflects Ron and Matt’s eye for detail, creating a home that’s both timeless and welcoming.
The location
Just steps from Hither Hills Beach, the property sits on a half-acre of mature landscaping, offering privacy while keeping you connected to Montauk’s natural beauty. The constant rhythm of the Atlantic surf and the sweeping dunes make it a rare spot where time slows, and the coast’s quiet energy becomes part of every day.
Why Locèlle loves it
Sea Roost has been featured in Vogue Magazine (Apr ’21), Vineyard Vines Comes to Visit Sea Roost (Summer ’22), Country Living Magazine (May ’20 & Winter ’25), a Ralph Lauren Home Summer 2020 campaign, and by style storytellers like Habitually Chic and The Maryn, showcasing just how captivating this Montauk retreat truly is. Sea Roost is more than a getaway—it’s an experience steeped in coastal character. Ron Brand and Matt Albiani’s fisherman aesthetic, combined with their rustic maritime sensibility, creates a home where mornings start with salt air, evenings close with crashing waves, and each visit feels like a genuine escape into the rhythm of the Atlantic.

Staying in Montauk
Montauk has long favored a slower pace of living, reflected in its monthly rental requirement. Sea Roost follows this tradition, offering longer stays that allow guests to truly settle in, find a rhythm, and experience the East End as locals do—unrushed, seasonal, and deeply connected to place.
