What actually performs here, from our portfolio data
1–3 bedrooms outperformOur 1–3BR homes earn 32–36% more per available night than market — $35–90 more every booked night. Smaller homes book more often and carry lower operating loads.
Beach proximity is the biggest leverOceanfront homes typically earn ~20%+ more than walkable comps in our portfolio, and homes under a quarter mile from the sand carry a mid-single-digit premium. Past the one-mile line, revenue steps down.
Amenities that actually payPools, hot tubs, and pet-friendly policies each add modest single-digit uplifts — pet-friendly widens the booking pool most cheaply. Stack them and the effect compounds.
Location rules are non-negotiableJacksonville Beach allows STRs with a city certificate. Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach effectively do not. Verify before you offer — the 2026 rules guide →
The Underwriting

- Cash flow after mortgage at your down payment and rate, plus annual debt service
- Cap rate and cash-on-cash return including closing costs and realistic furnishing/setup budgets
- Tax picture — straight-line depreciation estimates and where cost segregation can accelerate them (bring the numbers to your CPA)
- The honest expense model — management, cleaning, maintenance, utilities, and the launch costs everyone forgets
