Hello! I'm looking to get into the str market in florida but I was curious to know if it is harder to find bookings for beach towns on the mainland vs the key beaches. For example if you were to buy a str in Sarasota would it suffer from not being in Siesta Key since that is where the direct access to the ocean is? I grew up in New Jersey and most of the time here when families rent a beach house they look to rent on the beach with access to the ocean, not in the town connected to the bay (ex. Seaside vs toms river) ....hope this question wasnt to confusing haha. Thanks!

Hey Everyone, 

I'm looking to purchase my first Airbnb/str in the next six months, one thing I'm really curious about is how you analyze if a market if good for Airbnb/str or not. What are some things you look for in a market as well as some red flags? Thanks!
