Default Rent it out? am I nuts?

I have been crunching numbers on life in the villages. (never met a spreadsheet I didn't like)

I was wondering those of you who rent out your place in TV for several months a year, what do you do with your personal stuff. Do you put it in storage, lock it in one bedroom of a three bedroom and rent it out as a two. What works?

Can you count on renting it out every year for Jan, Feb, and March?

My husband hasn't in his heart of hearts given up on retiring Home to Hawaii. It is way too expensive and I also don’t like it there much, so really not an option. But I was thinking that if we rented out for Jan Feb March to snowbirds we could get enough to rent in Hawaii for those months, and avoid the crowded time as well. Hawaii costs nearly the same year around.

The numbers seem to work. But is this nuts?
