We ARE your Neighbors!
Contrary to the literature that is floating around about the harm the STR's are having on the South Haven economy, the City's own study on the Economic Impacts of Short-Term Rentals on the City of South Haven found that:
"The operation of short-term rentals (STRs) creates between just under 400 and almost 525 year-round jobs and generates personal income of between $11.7 million and $14.9 million in the South Haven City area.1 This accounts for between 5% to 6% of employment in the area and between 3% and 4% of the personal income of residents."
Short-term Rentals not only contribute to the local economy - but they also make the dreams of the owners possible! All of Shores Vacation Rentals properties that we managed are owned by real people - and not some investment group looking to pad their portfolio with "easy" money.
All of our owners are looking forward to the day that they can live here full time and share their home with just their family. Until they can do that, renting out their property allows them to slowly integrate into our community and it helps them to be able to afford a part of the American Dream at the same time.
Limiting the number of rentals or putting a complete moratorium on them not only benefits just a few, but it impedes on the constitutional property rights of others and harms our local economy.
Instead of Fear Mongering - maybe those of us who do not know our neighbors, should reach out and meet them when they are in town. Til then, SVR will help introduce all of you to our Owners, like Marcy Tawney and her family.
