Question about short term rental on beach in New England

[Kyle L.]

My wife and I have been saving up for quite a while to buy an investment property and are looking at one in Hampton, NH for a short term rental. It is 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths with central air and a garage, but only 1050 above grade square feet. It is right across the street from the beach (you can walk to it in less than 30 seconds), so it is very close, but one building in front blocks most of the view of the beach. I saw an AirDNA report (see below) that said the property could bring in 44k in rent throughout the year and I am wondering if you think it is accurate. It says November is a popular month to rent, which I was surprised about. Attached is the picture. Do you think this report is accurate?

@Kyle L. I doubt that November is the high season unless there is some crazy festival that we aren't aware of. 1050 sq.ft. is a perfectly fine size for a vaca rental that is right on the beach like that. You shouldn't have any problem renting it out. I would suggest doing two calculations. Multiply the occupancy % by the rates for the summer months based on what you can find on airbnb and vrbo. Figure out the occupancy % for the winter months and do the same thing. You may even be able to find a long term tenant just for the winter months, October-May. This will give you a better idea of the rental income. Good luck!
