I'm looking for some input from vacation rental owners in the Pinetop-Lakeside or Show Low area. We area looking to purchase a second home (single family home, 3-4 BR, 2500+sf) in that area and will be renting it out as a vacation rental most of the year. I have searched high & low but can't seem to find any info anywhere from vacation rental owners on what the average vacancy rates are for vacation rentals there. I'm not hoping to make an income off the property, but covering expenses would be nice. I have all my numbers in place for expenses, rental rates, etc, but am hoping to get some feedback on vacancy rates so I can do some more accurate number crunching.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.

Oh, and I do have one property in mind that I really like and it's in the Pinetop Lakes Country Club right on the golf course. If that helps any.

We use VRBO, and prices are right there, or call the property owner. FYI, and what it is worth, we also always get a lower price than advertised....

Do you mean you use VRBO to find a place to stay, or you use it as an owner? I know the prices are listed right there but that's not what I'm looking for. When I say "vacancy rate" I am looking for information on what percentage of the year you are able to rent the home out as an owner. Some high demand areas see 70-80% occupancy throughout the year (20-30% vacancy), where as other highly seasonal areas will see only 30-40% occupancy (60-70% vacancy).
