There are very few places to stay at and near Crystal, and it's also close to the Sunrise visitor center.

Banning all visitors would be a tough sell.

So, if you own short-term rentals there, you own what visitors want.

It is a gateway to the Starved Rock area and gets lots of visitors from Chicago. 

Which is cutting down on those visitors wanting to leave Canada.

It makes sense that a place that largely caters to relatively local visitors would see a big increase during a pandemic that massively increased local travel (both in terms of demand for it from people wanting to get out, and from the options of where people can go when restricted to domestic car travel). 

Visitors, commonly either want to be in the mix of it all, or get away from it all. 

As the host of the Phoenix Open, the best attended golf tournament in the world, and home to Major League Spring Training, there are a lot of magnets that draw visitors.

That makes the name sound familiar to Florida visitors who fall in love with FL and want to invest here.  

We are happy to get repeat visitors, and treating them well, having a clean house, using some sizzle features, absolutely results in good reviews and repeat guests.
