Looking for ST advice on Galveston, Port Aransas and South Padre

[Louis Barkhuizen]

Hello there. 

I live in Austin and have been around traditional rental properties for a while. Now I am looking at venturing into Short Trem Rentals. I am looking at Port Aransas, Galveston or South Padres. 

Port Aransas looks like an up and coming destination with lots of new construction (and a lot of rebuilding after Hurricane Harvey). I am leaning towards Port A over Galveston or South Padre, but would appreciate any feedback input.

Thanks in advance

Christina is right. Overall our demographic in Galveston is families and couples traveling together. There were a few issues right after the lockdown lifted of parties but overall it is extremely rare! Overall it is really more dependant on the property that you have and how you manage it. I manage some great properties in Pirates Beach and never have an issue. At the same time, there is one house there that advertises they sleep 30! Guess which house has all the neighbors pissed.

I can't speak to the other markets but Galveston has been a fun market. If you have any questions about here, feel free to post them and I'd be happy to share what I know.
