Nearby Tybee Island is a popular STVR destination but they currently have a STVR moratorium. 

The proximity to popular destinations can make the units desirable for furnished mid-term rentals, which can yield higher rental rates.

@Nick RutkowskiLike Tom Cruise said, I strenuously object.

Entire industries like airlines, tourism, conventions, entertainment venues, gambling, theme parks, cruise ships, movie theaters and more will take months or years to recover.

You can still enjoy about nine hours of sunshine each day, making it a pleasant winter destination compared to many other cities.

I could file for a dba name like "DJE Investments", or similar.Just an example...David J Dachtera"Success is not a destination.

I agree.The great tourist destinations stand out without having to dig too deep.Where have you gone on vacation?

Changes - shift from major destination getaways to vacationing within 100 miles.

Smaller cabins 1 bedroom style do well in that it's typically last minute bookings by couples so things can stay consistently busy, conversely the big ones 5 bed plus with movie theaters, pools... tend to book further out as the cabin itself is the destination for families and large gatherings.
