Eckardt told Business Insider that Rihanna wanted a summer house with jet skis and that this place had them was a big sell for her.
The house wasn't officially available to rent, so Eckardt worked out a deal with the owners, he said.
Eckardt told Business Insider that this has been the "craziest" year he's ever seen in Hamptons. Demand for rentals, in particular, has increased as wealthy urbanites look to escape big cities and self-isolate in comfort during the pandemic.
