Brad Pitt and Angelino Jolie have rented out Rew Rew, a beach shack at the water's edge in Mgarr ix-Xini for the summer, paying the owners thousands to shut up shop, according to the Daily Mail.

Brangelina wanted unfettered access to the beach while they film By The Sea.

The newspaper quoted owner Sandra Vella saying that although the money they were given would not cover what they would have made had they remained open, they were at least getting some form of compensation.

Filming at Mgarr ix-Xini is expected to start at the end of August and end in mid-October.
