We are blessed to have the chance to visit every summer!

I have just purchased a property at the Jersey Shore that will be used exclusively for short-term rentals through the summer season. 

Here’s what I do with my rentals:I either have tenants split the utility bills or include a clause in the lease that states if the gas or water bill exceeds a specific amount ($X), the tenant will be responsible for the overage, provided there are no leaks or other infrastructure issues contributing to the high usage.To determine this $X amount:Water: I take the highest water bill I’ve had over the past year (excluding periods where leaks occurred) and add about $15 to account for small fluctuations or potential increases.Gas: For gas, I calculate the median bill during the winter (when usage is highest) and the median bill in the summer (when usage is typically lowest).

Watch how you spend. you'll treat holiday season after October and your summer activity post April very differently.

Or should I hang on to that and hope the busy summer months pick up?

We had a couple of bigger ones that we wrapped up over the summer and they sat for awhile. 

Example mentioned already of shifting the leases to term out in the summer.

I expect a change in the White House and a better economy by summer 2025.

Let tenants know you'll keep it between a certain range of X - X in the summer or winter months.
