We try to keep a high level pulse on the entire market - a 360+ mile stretch of coastline in which total market activity can equal a single medium metropolitan market in other areas. 

While coastal markets like Santa Barbara and parts of Ventura can be challenging at first glance, there’s often better value once you look slightly inland or away from the immediate coastline.

Even Oregon is a better bang for the buck on the upper Coastline where you can buy a home on the cliff with a private beach for under $2M.

Basically any oceanfront property should be considered temporary IMO because coastlines are constantly shifting.

I'm looking in the Carolina's coastline.

Another had a wall mural of the PCB coastline and a few hotspots that everyone goes to. 

You asked about short-term rental property demand and mid-term rental property demand in other areas besides yours and thoughts on managing these properties.First off, short-term rentals are a great property class to own, especially if you "materially participate" with 500 ours in the management of your property for the IRS to consider it an active investment and able to write down your active or W-2 income with the expenses, bonus depreciation, and cost segregating the property for additional depreciation to reduce your income taxes.There is short-term rental demand in many communities in Michigan because we have so much coastline and natural beauty as well as university, business, and hospital stay demand.

But it looks like those trees only permit a partial view of the coastline. 

AirDNA will make no distinction in its comps for comparing your subject property on the ocean with another 4 BR home that is 3 streets in from the coastline. 

Between lovely countryside and stunning coastline, great food and super friendly people I love this place!
