Famine,
I can understand not wanting loads of renters trashing your place (agree that more affluent renters are less likely). But your vac home is really just a cash-flow liability right now until you sell it at which point it will be an asset. Prop taxes ,insurance, basic elec and water... picks at you especially if you are cash strapped.
I don't know where your home is, but why not rent it for part or all of the peak vacation season whenever that may be? A great website is
. Lots of people who would rather rent homes than hotels use it. That would at least pay for your overhead at low risk and hassle since the rentals are shorter term.
