Feeling the vacation bug? As February wraps up, Leap Day and all, lots of Jersey residents are in need of decompressing. What about a stay-cation in a swanky spot, right here in New Jersey?

A scan of Airbnb shows some amazing houses that'll cost you dearly to rent for a night. There's still listings trying to cash in on Superbowl 48 (um, that ship has sailed!) and the Pope's summertime visit. So, let's leave those out and focus on real estate that's pricey year-round. I rounded up seven of the most expensive.
