If that’s the case , be prepared to NOT make friends within the neighborhood !!

I would suggest you also join the NextDoor forum and do some searches to see what the consensus is with that type of rental property !!
I had not determined the best renting approach yet for our situation, but it is good to know that weekly rentals have such a bad rap here. We have done weeklies back home for a several years already and have never had a bad experience that impacted our neighbors (if anything, something inside the house got damaged). We did a weekly rental for our stay this year and the place was immaculate in and out, I just presumed that most short term guests would be senior couples who respect our place like we respect others places (more or less). Is it really that bad or have a a couple of bad apples soured everyone to this way of thinking?
