If you own a vacation rental on the New Jersey Shore — whether it's a beachfront condo in Wildwood, a bay house on Long Beach Island, or a bungalow in Brigantine — you already know how competitive the summer rental market is. The difference between a fully booked season and empty weeks often comes down to one thing: visibility.
ShoreSummerRentals.com has been connecting NJ Shore rental owners directly with renters since 2004. No commissions. No middleman. Just direct bookings. Platinum membership is our most powerful listing tier — built for owners who are serious about maximizing their rental income every season.
What you get with Platinum
Your listing appears above every Silver, Gold, and Diamond member — putting you in front of renters first, every time they search.
Your rental is featured on our homepage year-round, not just for 30 days like other tiers. Maximum exposure all season long.
We promote your rental directly to our engaged audience of active NJ Shore vacation renters across social media platforms.
Your listing gets featured in our email newsletter, sent to over 40,000 NJ Shore vacation renters actively looking to book.
Get listed on our high-traffic Last Minute, Full Summer, and other Specials pages — where motivated renters search for deals.
A professionally designed welcome guide template exclusive to Platinum members — helping you deliver a 5-star renter experience.
Show off every corner of your shore rental with up to 60 photos — more than any other membership tier.
Unlike VRBO and Airbnb, ShoreSummerRentals.com never takes a cut of your bookings. Every dollar goes directly to you.
Platinum members on ShoreSummerRentals.com consistently outperform other tiers because they show up first in search, stay visible on the homepage all year, and reach renters through multiple channels — search, social, and email — all in one membership. If you're comparing us to VRBO or Airbnb, consider this: with Platinum at $1,199 per year, you pay a flat fee and keep 100% of every booking. On VRBO or Airbnb, a single week's booking commission can cost you more than that.
Whether you're listing a shore house in Wildwood, a beach rental in Avalon, a bay house on LBI, or a condo in Sea Isle City — Platinum gives you the edge to fill your calendar faster and keep more of what you earn.
