During the dog days of summer, many New Yorkers retreat to The Hamptons to escape the sweltering streets of Manhattan.
The Hamptons are a group of gorgeous beach towns on the east end of Long Island. Billy Joel, Martha Stewart, Steven Spielberg and Howard Stern are just a few of the celebs that own mega-homes in the area. But, for us regular folk, participating in a summer share is the best way to get a taste of the good life.
From the high-end to the not quite as high-end, feast your eyes on just a few of the beautiful summer rental properties available on Zillow.
