This is where your customer based business plan identifies the customer base, and the drivers.

What's the biggest draw to FL? Orlando and the entertainment parks. If you are looking for a cheap version of rentals for school vacation and still get to Orlando for a day or two and have access to pools, etc. . is TV competitive? a viable alternative with lower affordable accomodations to renting hotels in Orlando?

of the rentals we have, there are two major categories:
1) retired couples looking for their retirement house, or waiting on building completion
2) younger generation visiting grandparents with children. . .

The third category, we haven't had any, are school vacation types, wanna get away by SWA to FL . .

Friend of ours had one of these in NH, and threatened to call their higher education institution about their college visa for all the damage done if they didn't pay. .
