READ THIS BEFORE GOING TO THE HAMPTONS THIS SUMMER
1. Book early, as in a few months! The best rentals go quickly and if you put it off you will only be left with expensive options. 🗓️ 2. Most rentals prefer longer stays. If you’re looking to stay for 1 week-1 month, you will probably have more options to choose from rather than just a weekend.
