West Coast Florida vacation rentals taking a hit from COVID?

[Scott R.]

I'm seeing properties come on the MLS from Long Boat Key, Anna Maria Island, Venice Island, etc. Are investors ditching these properties due to low occupancy? I've run numbers on a few of them and annual renting is out of the question. They only work as vacation rentals. But if people aren't going on vacation, seems extremely risky to pick one up. I'd like to hear if anyone is in the trenches in these areas and what they're experiencing.
