Seems to me if you're looking for income then a regular rental vs vacation rental would be better, but I don't know since I've not done either.

I guess the deal is with a regular rental, you probably get steadier money, but less of it. With a vacation rental, I assume you get more money per rent, but it's less steady, and possibly more trouble since they are so short term.

And as previously mentioned, anything on the coast is going to be a magnet for mother nature's wrath which sounds expensive.
