Not All Short-Term Rental Owners are the Same

When voting on the STR proposal please know that all STR owners are not the same. Many of us purchased homes in the hopes of retiring to the Island. We engage local realtors to screen guests and local service providers to keep our homes in good shape. We do not rent for less than seven days. The current proposal is flawed in many ways. It is not a simple registration. It has requirements that will make it extremely difficult for less than 30-day rentals. There is a difference between weekend rentals and weekly rentals, between homes managed by professionals and those that are not. Please vote no on this current proposal and allow time for a proposal that works well for the Island and all of its residents. Let’s take the time to get this right. Please vote no now to allow time for a better proposal.
