You're really asking how to create a vacation rental that outperforms the competition. 

Being young, you may be able to find a nice area that will allow you to BRRR your way to a sizable portfolio as LTRs and create a ton of equity and long term wealth and then use that to do even more fun stuff in your second phase of investing.But in terms of returns, I still think STRs are the way to go - even in areas that are not big vacation spots.

Hey Guys,I’m looking at a vacation rental off of S Atlantic Ave on Dayton Beach. 

Got it.What we include in the process as well, is "how best to protect yourself from the "due on sale", what happens if the renter stops paying, what if the seller won't vacate, how to get a title report, why to not use a real estate agent, how does this affect my taxes, what makes for a good deal, what exit strategy to use, how do I hold title, what happens when the seller comes back later and demands to be taken off of the loan, how do I hold insurance, what happens when a roof or waterheater need to be repaired or replaced, and on and on.

Perhaps a stupid question but is there a way to like parlay this into a type of themed Short term rental or vacation rental type thing? 

There are lots of FB pages dedicated to vacation rentals for sale.
