Much cheaper to truck it, and less wear and tear than to run it on it's own bottom.

I manage a house that was on VRBO. A completely redone house on deepwater in pompano with 75' of seawall and a 70' dock. We were rated #1 vacation rental house in Pompano Beach on VRBO at the time. It was a house worth around $900k and it rented for $3500 a week. It was fully booked from Thanksgiving to mid march, with only about 4 days of vacancy during that entire period. We did about $100k in rentals a year. While the house didn't make much of a profit, the house paid for itself, me to maintain it, and the rental management company took 25% right off of the top and the owner kept his yacht there for free. Owner decided to take the house private a few years back.

Our goal is similar. How far was the home from the beach? Within walking distance? Does Pompano Beach have plenty of public parking unlike so many other beaches? We just don't know if a home needs to be truly exceptional (sounds like yours was) to achieve those numbers, or are those numbers reasonably attainable. People in the industry all want to make a sale. Thanks so much for that info.

Don't cheat yourself out of a great trip down the river if you decide to move your boat to Florida.
