Does it make sense to rent West Palm Beach house with Airbnb?

[Alex Gera]

I own rental house in West Palm Beach are that was successfully rented last 4 years.

Now I am exploring short term rental opportunity through Airbnb and etc. Goal is to have  chance to stay sometimes there on Christmas or Thanksgivings myself. And also I read some horror stories about problems with eviction of not paying tenants. Would, anybody , please, share his or her experience with Airbnb or VRBO. Can I make some money? My previous rent was 1800$ a month, now it is 2000$. House has a pool and located just across the bridge from Singer Island, 1 mile from good free public beach. Does it make sense to go from 1 year rent to Airbnb kind of rent?

I stayed myself with Airbnb in Italy and California, but totally new as Airbnb host.

@Brian Garrett you'll have to call the city and speak to the code compliance department. Their websites are extremely outdated so most of them don't have the information online. Any city I am setting up a rental in I call in advance and inquire what is needed for short-term rental. I learned the hard way and got notices on my clients' doors and ended up in court quite a few times all over south florida.
