Short-term rentals mainly cater to vacationers.

The area attracts many vacationers during the summer months, and if you are able to get some winter renters from Oct - March its a win/win.

Hidden gem near a thriving destination will at least guarantee occupancy, but as the vacationers won't be so close to the action, it may not guarantee high rental incomes. 

I haven't seen much of a slowdown on Gulf Blvd this year.Cape Coral used to be awesome year around (we had several strs there) with Euro tourists in the summer and US vacationers in the winter and spring. 

Sounds like your target market (or guest avatar) is fisherman/outdoorsy vacationers.

No matter how well the home is designed and priced, vacationers will click away as soon as they feel like a host is inflating costs. 

Our daily pace report, which compares booked revenues to-date versus a year ago, shows the following:September +19.4%October +17.8%November +19.1%That doesn't mean this is where we end up for these months, just that more vacationers are planning ahead for stays, versus one year ago.  

Usually this occurs on weekends after six pm and the companies they partner with are all charging emergency fees. i have had emergency services come for a thermostat that the vacationer couldn't figure out how to use. $200 for an hvac guy to say "turn the dial like this". 

Where you would rent out the property say June-September to vacationers for the peak summer season.
