As August approaches, it’s not too late to stock up on your favorite rose wine to sit by the pool, bring to the beach (where allowed!) or on a rocking-chair porch for the waning days of summer. Here are a few late-summer rentals beckoning for some August action.
Sweet and summery in Sag Harbor
A two-bedroom cottage charmer near Long Beach. Spacious deck for sundowners, sleeping porch for overflow guests. Outdoor shower. Inside, exposed ceiling beams, a fireplace and kitchen with counter and bench seating. About 3.5 miles to the center of Sag Harbor village.
Rates: $20,000 for the month of August; $10,000 for two weeks.
Chateau-style estate in East Hampton
Bring your friends and family to this six-bedroom, five+-bathroom state home on nearly three acres. The grounds include a heated pool, covered lounge area, dining patio and plenty of green space for lawn sports. Inside, cathedral ceilings, a fireplace and a classic sunroom are attractive and homey features. Generously sized chef’s kitchen offers plenty of space for entertaining, food prep and dining. Pet friendly.
Rates: $125,000 for August through Labor Day.
An East Hampton double-decker
When one deck isn’t enough, this rental offers two! The first is a wraparound offering expansive water views over Three Mile Harbor; the upper is all that and more, with views of Gardiner’s Bay, but offers a prime spot for star gazing. Ultra-chic mod interiors, large chef’s kitchen that can accommodate caterers (because you are having people over for a party on that deck, yes?). With five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, heated pool and a private beach, it would be a shame to keep it all to yourself.
Rates: $55,000 for August; $65,000 through Labor Day.
Classic cottage in Sag Harbor
There is nothing more quintessentially summer than a shingled cottage with a hammock. This two-bedroom, two-bath charmer in the Bay Point community offers a sense of an old-fashioned childhood summer—you can almost hear the screen door bang shut! Barbeque your chicken or dogs on the backyard patio, wash the sand off your feet with an outdoor shower and relax in this uber-comfy home or the pretty backyard ringed with flowering shrubs.
Rates: $30,000 for August; $35,000 through Labor Day.
Sleek and mid-century mod[ish] in Quogue
Set on just over half an acre, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom one-level home offers easy indoor/outdoor living with a California vibe. Eat-in kitchen and separate dining room, living room fireplace. There’s a heated pool and hot tub set in the pretty, wooded back yard, and outdoor entertaining area on the rear deck. Renters have access to some amenities in the community park
Rates: $15,000 for August
