Late to the Party? Hamptons Summer Rentals Are Still Available!

There’s still time to summer in the Hamptons if you’ve got a few thou to spend on an August–Labor Day rental—and we’re talking a few thou. A 9,500-square-foot home on the ocean in Sagaponack, available for $625,000 through Kevin J. McCarthy of Saunders, has seven bedrooms, a living room walled with French doors that overlook 150 feet of beachfront, and a pool. No ocean view necessary? Shave off a few hundred grand, and you’re in target range of a 7,500-square-foot shingled traditional in the estate section of Southampton, which comes with seven bedrooms, eight and a half baths, an outdoor dining pavilion, and a pool house, all for a mere $200,000. It’s listed with Ann-Marie Horan of Halstead Property. Five figures more your style? Consider a two-story, renovated rustic-chic barn in Wainscott, available for $75,000 through Main Street Properties. The living room, dining area, and kitchen have wood-beamed ceilings, and there’s a small pool in the back.
