My post is still factual.


Yes and no.

Now maybe some are getting word that the governor is about to change the policy in the coming weeks so they don't see a problem with going ahead and accepting a booking.


Anything after July 2nd should be fine because the restrictions are expected to be lifted then, per the owner of where we are renting.

Florida has triple the number of cases as LA. It’s fricking ridiculous. frick Florida and frick desantis



It’s per capita dude and we have like 5 times as many people.

Vacation rentals can not technically rent to someone from Louisiana, NY, CT, or NJ. No one worthwhile is going to take a reservation and risk their business, if you really want to get around it just give them a Texas or other state address. There’s no reporting of where the guests are from, most companies just keep a record of where the guests come from for contractual reasons and to track the data. The state is not asking for it.

All this bullshite about not allowing Lousiana residents is fake news.



It’s not fake news. It’s currently against the rules to rent to LA citizens. Most are just ignoring it

It doesnt really matter. Louisiana 600 people in the hospital with COVID. That's 600, not 6,000. Any state with restrictions over louisiana right now should be criticized.

It's their state and they make their own restrictions, but that doesn't mean it should go without ridicule.

We were in Orange Beach last week and the place was wide open and a blast! Send a message to Florida and go to Orange Beach or Gulf Shores. We may make this permanent as we loved OB, and forget Destin.

OB has its advantages (distance is a big one) but it's just not Destin imo.

We very much enjoyed our trip to OB over Memorial Day weekend.
I was planning to book a 7 night trip to Destin in July, but screw Florida.
At least for this summer. LOL

Does the mandate include hotels? Because hotels are definitely renting to La residents.


No. Hotels are not included in the executive order, but Sandestin has a company policy not to rent to LA residents (for now).

If you are looking at renting a condo, just inform the rental agency that the primary purpose of your trip is to look at condos for purchasing...then they will allow you to rent

That's not a bad idea


It's not my idea. It is what some of the rental agencies in NW FL are "suggesting" to their Louisiana renters to state when booking Condos
