Carey and Cannon rent summer cabin for $150,000

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are renting a palatial mansion for $150,000 a month for the summer.

The couple - who have 15-month old twins Moroccan and Monroe - have splashed out on the

pricey vacation home in The Hamptons in Long Island, New York, for the summer.

The 7,500 sq ft property has six bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms, a private cinema and

an extensive wine cellar.

The huge mansion, which is worth almost $15m, has its own creek and a huge swimming pool featuring floating cabanas. There are also staff quarters for their extensive entourage.

No doubt Mariah is looking forward to an extended vacation as the singer recently returned to

work, going back into the recording studio to lay down songs for the first time since the birth of

her twins in April 2011.

Nick previously revealed the couple's children was inspiring her songwriting.

He wrote on his official website earlier this year: "My beautiful wife is planning to make her

return to the music scene after taking time off to focus on the pregnancy and the birth of our

two wonderful babies, Moroccan and Monroe.

"She's rejuvenated and ready to start sharing some of the amazing new music she has been

making in the studio! Our new family has definitely given her a great new source of inspiration

and creativity.

"I'm so proud of her and can't wait for her to release more phenomenal music!"
