Although most weekly rentals can be rented 52 times a year there are exceptions. Some condos allow weekly rentals but only 3 times per year or 12 times per year or 36 times per year. Of the 72 condos listed for sale only 41 of these listings allow weekly rentals 52 times per year.

Depending on the condo’s location, upgrades, view and amenities one bedroom condos rent in season for $900 to $1,500 per week; two bedroom condos for $1,400 to $2,400 per week and three bedroom condos for $2,600 to $3,100 per week.

Off season rents are generally half of the in season rates. Condos that have been renovated and are closer to the beach with better onsite amenities enjoy better rental histories in the slower summer months.
