Newsday's Real LI led me to this summer retreat in Shelter Island, New York. This home sits on 3.6 acres and has six bedrooms. It has a great room, dining room, two wood burning fireplaces, elevator, central air conditioning, and a two-car garage. The interior is in need of major brightening up and updating but the grounds are phenomenal. The property includes a freshwater pond, tennis court and a long dock into the sound. A variety of terraces offer views and much needed shade on a hot day. It is listed at $4.9 million.

Very few celebrities have only one home -- owning multiple residences in locations around the world is key to keeping any sense of normalcy and routine in their lives. But although first homes are usually in cities like New York and LA to be close to work, where do celebrities like George Clooney, Johnny Depp, and Oprah choose to buy vacation homes? Where do they go when it's entirely up to them and they want to relax?

Well for Clooney it's a waterfront villa in Lake Como, Italy, for Depp it's a 50 acre farmhouse in France, and Oprah prefers her ocean-front ranch in Santa Monica. Where would you live? Check out this list of celebrity summer homes and see who's taste is closest to your own.
