I currently have a unit in Florida and am thinking abut buying a unit along the Alabama Gulf Coast. Other than spending a night in Gulf Shores about 25-30 years ago, I know nothing abut the area. I am interested in learning about the vacation rental environment in 2022 and YTD 2023, availability and reliability of cleaners, availability and reliability of handymen, and rental rates in general.
Any other insights as to what areas of the coast are good and what areas should be avoided would also be greatly appreciated. I would love to hear from both condo owners and stand alone hose owners to get their thoughts and opinions.
