However, in adding the bedrooms, no new sq.ft will be added.

For my short term rentals I am really going to focus on adding improvements that will increase my daily rate and guest experience.

That added a 12% expense bump- totally changed the vacancy dynamics.

So I'm strongly considering adding a handful of these to my buy & hold portfolio.I understand that there's no "risk-free" method to acquiring these properties subto, but have any of you had success over the long-term acquiring properties with VA loans attached?

If you added in the cash you should have to protect against contingencies, the actual return goes down (or the risk sykrockets, your choice)- If the $300K properties cashflow, definitely a better bet.
