Rihanna invested $415,000 in securing the rental of a Hamptons cottage spanning from mid-July to mid-August. Additionally, she placed a security deposit of $1 million for the arrangement.
Nestled on a two-acre expanse with a view overlooking the North Sea Harbor in Southampton, the residence features a heated pool, private beach, and an 85-foot dock. The primary floor encompasses an open living and dining area, complemented by an industrial-grade kitchen. Abundant natural light flows through the tall windows.
The abode boasts five bedrooms, each offering picturesque water views. With six and a half bathrooms, one even includes a chaise for post-bath relaxation. The covered porch provides an ideal setting for enjoying daytime cocktails and witnessing breathtaking sunsets.
Presently, the house is listed for sale at a price of $10,995,000, with Danielle Lise Desrochers of Douglas Elliman representing the property. Notably, in 2014, the residence played host to the filming of “Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons,” a spin-off reality show from “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” starring Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian.
Eckardt, in conversation with Business Insider, revealed that Rihanna’s desire for a summer escape complete with jet skis was a significant factor in her decision, as the cottage catered to this preference. Despite not being officially available for rent, Eckardt was able to negotiate an arrangement with the homeowners.
Eckardt conveyed to Business Insider that this year has been unprecedentedly intense in the Hamptons, particularly regarding rental demand. Wealthy urban residents seeking refuge from city life and aiming to self-isolate comfortably during the pаndemic have spurred this surge in demand.
