Destin FL vacation rental

[Jon Hilfiger]

We are close to buying a 4 bed 3 bath single family home in Destin FL. It’s in a great neighborhood with a pool 20 yards away and the beach is a 50 yard walk. Anyone have any recommendations on buying and renting out? House is pricey but neighborhood values are high and Destin is a top vacation spot. Should we use a mgt co? (we will be 8 hours away) should we just find a on call handyman? Thanks for any input.
