Stars’ homes for rent
United Press International
PH ILADELPHIA — For peo
ple tired of cruise ships, pack
aged adventures or posh hotels,
the quest for the dream vacation
may be right at home — Eli
zabeth Taylor’s Mexican villa,
Christina Onassis’ home on Cor
fu, or perhaps Prince Charles’
bungalow in the Bahamas.
Vacationers looking for
something different can make
themselves at home in the vaca
tion retreats of celebrities from
Venice to Barbados — provided
they can pay the price.
Variety Leisure of Philadel
phia lists some 3,000 properties
— from cozy London flats to
Palm Beach mansions to ramb
ling castles in Spain — at daily
rates of $80 to $2,200 in season.
That not only unlocks the
door on vacation getaways own
ed by the likes of David Niven
and the family of the late Shah
of Iran, it often includes the ser
vices of a cook and maid, and
privileges at the local country
club, said Gil Brenner, a 51-
year-old Philadelphia real estate
agent who has been renting
vacation homes for nearly 20
years.
He launched into celebrity re
ntals about four years ago after a
chance meeting with Prince
Charles at the Palm Beach Polo
Club.
“He asked what I do for a liv
ing and I said I rent villas,” ex
plained Brenner. “He said I
should contact his aunt, Princess
Margaret, who had a place in the
Caribbean she wanted to rent.”
Brenner did just that and
reached an agreement to offer
the princess’s house for vacation
rentals.
Why would the sister of the
Queen of England want to rent
her house?
“They like to keep the staff
busy and they can’t be down
there all the time,” said Brenner,
a native of Lancaster, Pa., who
holds a master’s degree in busi
ness from Cornell University.
The price depends on the size
of the home, its amenities, such
as tennis courts and swimming
pool, the number of household
staff, and whether use of a car is
included, he said.
Brenner occasionally gets a
request he can’t fill, but his
properties in Europe, the
Mediterranean, Caribbean,
South Pacific, United States, and
Mexico offer enough variety to
suit just about anyone’s style.
