How popular is a Florida vacation? According to VISIT FLORIDA, the state’s outstanding destination marketing organization, the simple answer is: more popular than ever! In fact, 2024 marks another record-setting year with more than 140 million visitors — or almost 3 million guests putting heads in beds each week.
While the majority of those beds are enjoyed in resorts and hotels, a study just released by Hospitable confirms that Florida’s vacation rental properties remain in very high demand — with more than 325,000 bookings in 2024, driven by a 30% increase at AirBNB alone.
If you’ve been considering a vacation rental acquisition in Southwest Florida like many, 2025 certainly looks like the time to buy — the earlier, the better. Combine a robust real estate inventory with a strong and healthy revenue stream, and you too can seize this very opportune moment and be sitting pretty (on the beach? at your pool?) come spring!
