Vacation Rental Good Investment?

[Christian Fowler]

My family vacations in Ocean Isle every year (renting) and are looking at purchasing a home as a vacation rental. Our main goal would be to rent out the home so it pays for itself, and we would have a place to go more than just once a year. Does anyone have any experience in this area or surrounding beaches? If you rent a house out in this area during season, will there be positive cash flow after paying all expenses, including management?
