Summer Rental Guide 2005

In some resort towns, a couple hundred grand will get you a cozy vacation retreat--no mortgage necessary. In the notorious Hamptons, it buys July. That said, this four-bedroom estate, complete with gunite pool and coveted oceanfront access, is sure to impress status-obsessed guests. It is beautifully decorated and has farm views on two sides. Should you fall for the place, it's also on the market for just $14.5 million.
