Splurge On Vacation Rental: Jay And Bey
Spending your August worrying about whether you’ll be able to pay your children’s tuition for the new school year? Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles have other concerns. They have splashed out $400,000 to rent a holiday home for the whole of August. The couple are to take their seven-month-old daughter Blue Ivy to the Hamptons – an exclusive group of villages in Long Island, New York – for the first time by letting the 11-acre property on Halsey Lane in Bridgehampton, known as the Sandcastle, which is currently on the market for $43.5 million. Jay and Beyonce will be able to relax in the property’s 60-foot heated pool, which comes complete with underwater stereo system, and if they are feeling sporty then the two-lane bowling alley, virtual golf facilities, skateboard half-pipe or tennis court might be useful.
The Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It) hitmaker can also take the opportunity to teach her daughter some of the tricks of the showbiz trade in the home’s “children’s performing areaâ€, and the property also features squash, racquetball and basketball courts with moving walls and a retractable hoop, according to the listing on Corcoran.com.
