Palm Beach is known for its vibrant winter social season, filled with events, entertaining, and high profile gatherings. As temperatures rise, many principals relocate to cooler, more private destinations.
This transition requires careful planning and execution. Homes must be prepared, staff must be coordinated, and every detail must be handled with precision. Whether families relocate their trusted staff or hire new seasonal teams, the expectation remains the same. Service must be seamless.
For UHNW families, consistency across all residences is essential. The standards they expect in Palm Beach must be replicated in every location.
The Hamptons remains one of the most sought after destinations for UHNW families during the summer months. Areas such as Southampton, East Hampton, and Bridgehampton are known for their expansive estates, social events, and frequent entertaining.
Households in the Hamptons operate at a fast pace. Weekends are filled with guests, events, and gatherings, which creates a high demand for experienced staff.
Common roles include:
Private chefs for entertaining and events
Housekeepers and laundresses
Butlers and service staff
Nannies and rotational childcare teams
Estate managers and house managers
Because of the competitive nature of the Hamptons market, families must secure their staff well in advance to access the most qualified candidates.
For families seeking a more understated and private environment, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard offer timeless New England charm combined with luxury living.
These destinations are ideal for extended family stays and multi generational gatherings. Unlike the Hamptons, the focus here is often on privacy, tradition, and continuity.
Staffing needs typically include:
Estate managers or house managers
Domestic couples who can manage multiple responsibilities
Private chefs for in home dining
Experienced nannies
Housekeepers for long term seasonal stays
Families often prefer returning staff who understand their homes and routines. However, when new hires are needed, it is important to work with an agency that understands the expectations of UHNW households.
Cape Cod and Cape May offer a more relaxed yet still sophisticated summer lifestyle. These locations attract families who value comfort, tradition, and extended stays with family and guests.
Homes in these areas often require:
Live in housekeepers
Companion style nannies
Private chefs for seasonal living
Property caretakers
While the pace may be slower, the expectation for professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail remains high.
Newport is known for its historic estates, oceanfront properties, and strong yachting culture. Many UHNW families maintain summer residences here that require experienced staff familiar with large scale properties.
Common roles in Newport include:
Estate managers for large estates
Formal butlers and service staff
Housekeepers experienced with historic homes
Coordination between household staff and yacht crew
These homes often require a higher level of formal service and attention to detail, especially during events and entertaining.
For families looking to escape the Florida heat, Colorado offers a completely different summer experience. Aspen, Vail, and Telluride are among the most popular destinations for UHNW families seeking cooler temperatures and outdoor living.
Mountain estates present unique staffing challenges and require professionals who are adaptable and experienced.
Typical roles include:
House managers for large or remote properties
Private chefs focused on wellness and seasonal menus
Nannies comfortable with active outdoor lifestyles
Maintenance and property staff
Unlike coastal destinations, many of these homes operate year round, making it essential to find staff who can provide long term consistency.
Hiring domestic staff for a summer residence is very different from hiring for a primary home. Each location has its own pace, expectations, and logistical challenges.
Families must consider:
Availability of qualified candidates during peak season
Housing and relocation for staff
Maintaining consistency across multiple homes
Matching staff personalities with household dynamics
Working with a professional agency ensures that every detail is handled with care and precision.
