Palm Beach summer rentals: they’re affordable (by Hamptons standards)

From the South Florida Web site: If spending $100,000 to vacation in the Hamptons this summer is a bit much, perhaps would-be renters should look to the host of off-season mansions for rent in Palm Beach. While summertime temperatures can get a bit high, the prices for extravagant estates get much lower. For the price of a three-bedroom in Sagaponack, one can find a seven- or eight-bedroom, ornate home on billionaire’s row. And for $20,000 a month, renters can vacation at the Casa Bendita, a Georgian-influenced, Bermuda-style home with 16-foot ceilings and 7,000 square feet. Or why not spend a little more on an eight-bedroom, nine-bathroom, 8,660-square-foot mansion at 80 Middle Road, for just $30,000 a month? [more]
