The best way to rent/sell your vacation home at Deep Creek Lake

If anyone reading this wants to offer up their rental house for a Deep Creek Lake reality show, I’ll be happy to pitch the idea. It’s really not a new concept, in terms of having ‘celebrity’ homes at Deep Creek Lake, but it sure is an interesting proposal to pick up vacation rentals or real estate sales. There are some current & past NFL players, NFL owners and a few other miscellaneous celebs that still own property here at the lake, so maybe their houses are available for the Deep Creek Lake reality show project…”Deep Creek Shore”, anyone??

(CNN) — Want to rent the “Jersey Shore” house in Seaside Heights, New Jersey? It’ll cost you.

What used to be just one of the many homes along Seaside Heights’ stretch of boardwalk is now a prime rental property that can cost as much as $4,000 a night, said the property’s broker, Mike Loundy of Seaside Realty.

On the low end, the property rents for $1,800 a night for a three-night minimum, but as availability decreases, the per-night cost will go in the opposite direction, although Loundy is quick to note that the owners are flexible with pricing.

Since production on the reality show wrapped, the house has been rented for a variety of uses, from a Sweet Sixteen bash — $4,400 total for the night, which included access to the whole house plus a DJ and catering — to a production set for a few television personalities who thought it would be fun to stay there with cameras of their own.

The house is open for anything that’s legal, and business, Loundy said, has been brisk, even for other houses.

“No one that I know of could see how popular the show [has become],” he said. “Our rentals in the area overall are up because they’re in proximity to that house. People are star-struck by the idea of staying here.”
