Back in 2012, before Lemonade made it clear life for Jay Z and Beyoncé wasn’t all sugary sweet, the couple dropped a cool $400,000 to rent the exquisite Sandcastle estate in Bridgehampton, New York. Not only did they spend the summer lounging by the heated swimming pool and playing tennis on the Olympic-sized court, the then new parents to Blue Ivy even filmed a music video amid the mansion’s splendor.
Today, you can do the same. For just $1 million a month — or $550,000 for two weeks — the mega mansion can be all yours in July. With 12 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a screening room, bowling alley, and over 26,000 square feet of living space, you can spend the season just like the power couple — sans the celeb status. Click ahead for pics that are sure to make even the most seasoned Hamptons residents question their interior design decisions.
The 12-bedroom manse rests on 11.5 acres of scenic Hamptons landscape and even holds its own recreation pavilion with a performance stage.
The two-story spread hosts several living rooms, a decked-out den — with a wet bar — a grand foyer, a walnut-clad library, and a formal dining room with its own fireplace.
The 2,800-square-foot master suite includes a sitting room, private bar, dressing room, and a massive en suite bathroom with marble floors and a free-standing soaking tub.
The state-of-the-art screening room boasts interactive reclining chairs and seating for up to 10 people.
The lavish lower level holds a kid-exclusive playroom, media room — with five plasma screen televisions, squash and racket ball court, and a two-lane bowling alley.

There’s even an indoor half pipe, rock climbing wall, dance club room — with disco lights and a full bar — as well as full-service spa with Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, and massage area.
Out back, a 60-foot heated pool features an underwater stereo system, while the spa, sunken tennis court, and two-bedroom guesthouse — plus an outdoor shower — offer endless entertaining possibilities.
