You Can Now Stay in the Beach House From "The Undoing"
The finale of HBO's miniseries The Undoing, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, aired on November 29.
The addicting series is adapted from the book You Should Have Known by Jean Hanff Korelitz.
Now, the beach house featured in episode 2 of the show is available to rent on Airbnb.
Now that we finally know who killed Elena on HBO's The Undoing—the HBO miniseries starring Nicole Kidman (Grace Fraser) and Hugh Grant (Jonathan Fraser)—it's time to move on to the important stuff. You know, like the fact that one of the sets from the show is now an actual Airbnb. (It's listed on Vrbo, too.) And you can rent it yourself if you're up for a splurge.
Remember Grace's beach house that she escaped to in episode 2's "The Missing"? Well, under the name "Bohemian Old Life Saving Station with Beach & Pool", in real life you can book that very home for an average of $1,085 a night through the home rental service. Located in East Marlon, New York, the six bedroom, four bathroom home has space for up to 13 people, and was originally a coast life guard station in 1893. According to Dirt, the property was purchased for $2.58 million in 2007 by film and television writer Jesse Peretz and his wife, Sarah Sophie Flicker.
In the years since, the pair has renovated the home to include a spacious modern kitchen, steam shower in the master bath, and a 50-by-16-foot pool. The property also sits on three acres of land and has access to 300 feet of private beach. Another exciting detail? There's a bedroom in the tower of the home that you can access via a ladder from the third floor. But despite its luxury, the house it outfitted with vintage furniture throughout to stay true to the building's roots. This is something The Undoing director Susanne Bier kept in mind while filming, keeping some of the owner's original pieces for various shots.
“We wanted to maintain the sense that this house hadn’t been radically changed,” Bier told Architectural Digest. “It’s like when people have a holiday home. And part of the joy is visiting it and knowing that the cup you used to drink from is still there. She still has that childhood experience running on the beach. All those things are tied up in the atmosphere.”
And if you were a fan of Girls—HBO's hit comedy series starring Lena Dunham—you may have recognized the beach house from that show as well. It appeared in the season 3 episode "Beach House," fittingly directed by Peretz himself.
Now, who wants join in on booking this luxurious pad for a socially-distant vacation next summer? We don't think it comes with Nicole Kidman, but it might still be worth it.
