The Hamptons have long been known as a go-to weekend escape and summer vacation spot of New York City’s (and the world’s) finest travelers. So it's no surprise that you'll find the priciest Airbnb in the country here. This is according to a new report by currency exchange platform S Money, which searched Airbnb for the most expensive listings in the U.S. and manually checked the top results.
The property in question is in the hamlet of Water Mill, which is famous for its arts scene and as the site of the first water mill in New York. It's also one of the most expensive ZIP codes in the U.S., according to CNBC.

Guests can also soak up vitamin D by the pool, practice their backhand on the private tennis court, or relax with a glass of Champagne in the hot tub, which sits in front of the pool house.
There's also an alfresco dining area outfitted with a gas barbecue. And if you want to take a dip in the ocean, the closest beach is Flying Point Beach — only a four-minute drive from the house.
