Modelled estimate (Ashota model v1). Annual revenue = modelled ADR × 365 × modelled occupancy, starting from market archetype benchmarks and adjusted for local demand drivers. No licensed short-term rental performance data is behind these figures yet, so treat them as a starting assumption to test against your own property, not an observed market result.

What owners run into here

Longboat Key is a gulf beach market, so demand is concentrated in Feb–Mar–Apr. Pricing, minimum stays and staffing all have to flex around that. We have not yet written up first-hand owner notes for this market.

County and jurisdiction notes
