In additon to the other suggestions, if you opt to handle the renting et al. yourself, put a "For Rent" sign in one of your streetside windows with your phone number(s). The wife and I are down here in TV now, trolling various neighborhoods to find a short term rental in December by looking simply for the For Rent signs. Numerous ones in some neighborhoods, not so many in others. Have talked to a number of property owners, some of who relate that their For Rent sign is the ONLY advertising they've ever done. Seems as though once you start getting some renters, a lot of them keep coming back if the place is nice, the rate is good, and they're treated well by the owners. Just my humble opinion......
