Commenting on the findings, a spokesperson from New Jersey Real Estate Network said:

“These findings highlight the limited presence of Airbnb vacation rentals in certain areas of New Jersey, particularly in regions less frequented by tourists. In these quieter areas, fewer homeowners are offering rental options, which means visitors have a more restricted selection of accommodations compared to the busy coastal regions.

“While this may reduce opportunities for homeowners to earn extra income, it also preserves the local character and offers tourists a chance to explore quieter, less visited destinations in the state.”
