Since the day I put this out for rent, I have Had only 2 0ne month guests. Most are planning to move here and came to look at options, to drive around, perhaps purchase , and the longest one was waiting for a house to be built. Some extended their stay -- into the shoulder and Summer-season, which is the delightful Gulf Beach time of year .
Summers? not only is the temperature of the water a dream, but the accommodation rates change DOWN with the seasons, with the lowest rates being June to September .
