Will The Hamptons be cancelled this year? Well, things will look awfully different, that's for sure...
Two weeks after Sunset Beach revealed they would not be opening this summer out of caution, The Hedges Inn in East Hampton has announced they're making their entire property available to rent from June 1st to Labor Day. For a whole summer's stay at the 2-acre setup, the bill will come to $1 million, or should it be rented by month, $350,000.
The inn does have 13 bedrooms (and comes complete with a stocked bar), so it could have a successful second life as a most perfect Wall Street bro share house. For those uninterested in roughing it, for an extra $100,000, they'll even throw in a chef and housekeeping staff to look after you.
With the hospitality industry anxious and unsure as to how to operate in a safe fashion, this buyout rental structure is sure to become a trend. Just last week, Shou Sugi Ban House, a year-old spa in Water Mill, shared that they too will be putting their entire 13-room property up for rent. $1.25 million for the entire summer, or $410,000 per month.
In Montauk, The Crow's Nest is turning to offering extended stays, with a two-week minimum for their cottages and a one-week minimum for their regular rooms.
With such high price points, and such unique setups (13 rooms is like, a lot of rooms), it's easy to wonder who the hell would actually go for this? But if there's anything you should know about The Hamptons, it's that no matter how expensive and particular a proposition may be, there is always someone willing to throw down their credit card.
