Short Term Beach Rental In California

[Rafael Ro]

Hello all,

Would love to hear your thoughts on whether there is a beach town that allows short term rentals in California, and where the following plan may make sense. 

We're looking to buy a property (most likely a condo due to budget) and would like to AirBnb it for part of the year and use it for part of the year. Because of that, our budget a little more flexible -- it doesn't necessarily have to cash flow right out the door (which I know is almost completely unlikely in the current market for this type of area). 

I'm doing some research now to identify potential areas to keep an eye on and possibly connect with an investor-oriented local agent in each of the areas we're considering.  

Thank you all in advance for your input!
