I'm not so sure the Developer would have written the restrictions/covenants any differently, had he anticipated the short term rental market ... as evidenced by the fact, they haven't changed the restrictions in the newer areas.
I would be 100% behind banning short term rentals. A monthly rental is reasonable. A weekend rental is not.

The short term rental people are a completely different demographic than those that just want to spend a month or two in TV and see what it's all about or come back for a second or third time.
