Georgia's Major Vacation Rental Markets
Savannah: Georgia's premier urban vacation rental market. The city's walkable historic district, Forsyth Park, River Street, and exceptional restaurant and bar scene make it a high-demand destination year-round. Antebellum homes, carriage houses, and Victorian row houses command premium rates. Savannah's popularity as a wedding destination creates consistent group travel demand that fills properties on weekends throughout the year.

Blue Ridge: One of the most popular mountain weekend getaway destinations in the Southeast. Cabins with hot tubs, mountain views, and fireplaces are the dominant and highest-performing property type. Atlanta's proximity (roughly 90 minutes) ensures consistent year-round demand.

Tybee Island: Georgia's primary beach market — a 2.5-mile barrier island just east of Savannah. Strong regional demand from Georgia and South Carolina. Properties near North Beach and the pier generate the strongest occupancy.
Lake Lanier: The most popular lake destination in the Southeast, serving Atlanta's 6+ million metro residents. Lakefront properties with docks and water views perform extremely well on summer weekends.
Atlanta: An active urban STR market particularly in neighborhoods like Midtown, Inman Park, and Old Fourth Ward, driven by corporate travel, events, and tourism.
