re: Beach Rental Cost Surge For 2023

well I can tell you, the cost of a quick getaway to the beautiful white sand beaches of the coonass Riviera, has made me start exploring options in other areas. Places on the Atlantic coast I'd only heard of but never pursued- because of my fondness for the Panhandle- are on the radar.
They've effectively found the ceiling IMO. Good luck to them.

I have become weary of travelling, sleeping away from home, and spending ridiculous amounts of money to be in a crowded tourist area.
In my mid 50's now, and kids are grown and gone from home.
My vacations consist of hanging around the house puttering with projects, spending time with the wife, and maybe a day trip here and there.
I am quite content to stay out of that rat race.

That said, we went to Cape San Blas back in summer of 2009 and there were nice beachfront and across the road homes everywhere for sale in the 30A area in the 200-400k range after the crash in 2008. Those places would probably be north of $1M now.
Wish I would have leveraged myself into a couple of those and I could have retired a few years ago after selling them.
