Vacation rentals in the Rotunda west Florida

[Rich Dubois]

Hi there,  My wife and I are looking into the idea of a vacation rental on the gulf coast side of Florida. Typically the Rotunda west, manasota key area.  We stayed there last spring and loved it. This town is a dead restricted community with some nice single family homes, and what seems to be a good vacation rental market. Our price range would be around the 200k range.

I am interested to see if anyone knows the vacancy rate in the summer months. I have talked with a realtor and property manager of the place we rented last year to get some #'s but I need yearly rent #s And was hoping I could find someone already in the market to discuss pros and cons. 

if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. 

thanks
