I figured short term vacation rentals are a different animal than long term residential rentals, but my bride and I have been toying with buying a condo somewhere between Ft. Myers/Sanibel and Sarasota FL. Anyone have experience with this sort of thing?
I have one friend who only rents to people she knows, another who rents her place through VRBO. Another rents through another service, but the thing that strikes me about him is that every time they use their own house in Destin, he spends every morning cleaning/fixing/painting, then hits the beach in the afternoon.
Part of me thinks it would just be simpler to spend the $1500-2000 a week to rent somebody's else's unit and be done with it.
