Those are clearly being developed as vacation rental units.

Just curious i been thinking about vacation rentals north of 98 and when we'll start seeing them become popular. I assume Bayfront or Bayou would be a good investment. Thoughts?

I think these are for parishioners of Saint Rita Catholic Church.

I think it's already happening. A buddy of mine lives off of Chat Holley near Hick's and his neighbor has a STR that stays well booked. Easy access to the bay, restaurants, and now there's a big parking lot on 83 so you drive there and take a shuttle to the beach or walk over to the shops across the way.

Wow! Just looked on Airbnb and saw lots of rentals north of 98.

Rentals north of 98 isn't new. There was one in the Daughette's back in 2007 that was marketed as being distant, but came with a State Park pass. Booked solid year round.

How many nights per year do you think a house like that could rent?

Depends on the owner, marketing and rates. Could potentially be year round.
