How many short-term rentals are there in Melbourne Beach?

The short answer is, nobody knows for sure.

When a short-term rental (STR) is registered with the Town for the first time or is renewed annually thereafter, a vacation rental certificate is generated and tracked. A vacation rental certificate is valid for one year. If a vacation rental certificate is not renewed, its status transitions from Issued to Expired.
