Strong Florida Short-Term Rental markets?

[Maan Najjar]

Hello All,

I live in Orlando and I'm wondering if there are STR markets in Florida with strong rental income. Orlando/Kissimmee market looks very competitive so I'm trying to avoid it.

I've read in Evolve article that Destin rentals shows very strong rental income. A 2-bedroom Destin property grosses $43510 whereas Smoky Mountain grosses $34622 in average. Would appreciate other investors can share their experience in Destin (or other Florida markets)

Best,

Maan
