How many days can I expect a beach condo to stay rented?

I am trying to calculate potential returns on a short term investment property, specifically a Pensacola Beach rental. I’ve nailed down rates per season but I’m not sure how to figure occupancy.

For those of you that own a STR in a beach town, how many days per year do you have renters? If you really know your numbers, how many days for each season.

Why don't you try looking at similar properties in that location on Vrbo and Airbnb and see how full their calendars are and what rates they are charging. You could drop this into Excel and easily get some averages from a few properties.
