Water Mill rental courts tennis fans with pool, beach access

At 1629 Deerfield Rd in Water Mill, a short-term 2026 rental was pitched straight at tennis players who want to stay on court without building their summer around club schedules. The 5-bedroom, 6.5-bath, 5,200-square-foot house was listed at $75,000 short-term and framed as a US Open rental with tennis and pool at the center of the appeal.

The setup is practical for a family or a small group of players: a heated pool, a private tennis court, a gym, a finished basement, a garage and water views, all on a home that also includes a first-floor primary, central air and a furnished interior. The property sits on 4 acres in one listing and is built for the kind of stay where guests want to play, swim and recover without leaving the grounds. Zillow shows the home was built in 2000 and last sold on October 13, 2022.

That matters in the Hamptons, where court time gets tight fast once the summer season settles in. A Hamptons tennis guide says the playing season runs from late June through August and that the best programs book out quickly. Long Island Tennis Magazine calls tennis perhaps the most popular outdoor activity in the Hamptons, with players arriving from across Long Island and New York City every summer. SPORTIME’s Amagansett/JMTA Hamptons club, which says it is the largest outdoor tennis facility in the Hamptons, covers 25 acres and serves 500 to 1,000 players and campers a day in summer. Against that backdrop, a private court is less about prestige than about avoiding the scramble.

The Water Mill location adds to the case for players who do not want a car-heavy routine. The listing says it is centrally located and close to Water Mill, Bridgehampton, the train and the Jitney, with North Sea Beach, Foster Memorial Town Beach and W. Scott Cameron Beach all within the Hamptons summer orbit. For guests trying to split days between hitting, beach time and quick trips into town, that geography makes the rental more useful than a trophy house.

The same address has also been marketed through other channels. HamptonsRealEstate.com described 1629 Deerfield Road as a “Us Open Rental: Highest Point In Hamptons, Tennis And Pool” at $75,000 short term, while Homefinder.com showed it as an active rental at $225,000 a month. Another Hamptons listing described a Water Mill estate at the same address with a heated gunite pool, tennis court, multi-sport court, gym and spa on 13 secluded acres. Out East published its page for the property on April 28, 2026, and labeled it a tennis-and-pool focused US Open rental, which tells you exactly who this house is built to serve: players who want a locked-in court, a pool and the beach without the club-membership grind.
