Water Mill buyers say no one told them “trashy” Bravo show would film next door
The buyers of luxurious homes in a gated Water Mill community claim no one told them that Bravo would be filming its raucous reality show “Beach House” next door. In the show, cameras follow young New Yorkers as they spend their summer partying in a Hamptons home together. “Not one of the buyers was advised before closing that their multimillion-dollar retreat is next door to where a trashy reality TV show is being filmed,” one unnamed resident told the New York Post. “Apparently, [one family] watched the show and are now worried that their 3-year-old grandchild will be watching people having sex in the woods.” The show’s been booted from various Hamptons businesses and denied filming permits in East Hampton.

Five parcels of land, 12 duplexes and 25 homes are expected to be auctioned off by the General Services Administration in early summer.
