Much of the information on short term rentals which was posted in June 2009 has changed.
The short-term rental situation on residential Duck Key has improved to some degree, but three new listings with weekly availability have been added. Additionally one listing on Vista which we posted in the June 2009 is still advertised as avaiiable for short term stays on four sites. Another listing on Indies Drive since June has eliminated showing a weekly rate, but has added a nightly rate.
