Market Overview

This profile covers Daytona Beach, Florida, using performance data for the Volusia and Flagler County area STR market. That series is shared with other nearby cities, so every performance figure below describes the region rather than Daytona Beach alone. The regulatory section, by contrast, applies to Daytona Beach specifically. In September 2026 the Volusia and Flagler County area STR market posted an average daily rate of $199, occupancy of 39.6%, and average monthly revenue of $2,318 per listing. Against September 2025, occupancy is up 7.5%, ADR is up 4.8%, and revenue is up 6.7%. September is the slowest month for occupancy in the seasonal pattern, so these readings sit below the annual picture. Year to date through September 2026, the region averages 56.4% occupancy, a $236 ADR, and $3,667 in monthly revenue, compared with $3,319 in monthly revenue for full-year 2025. By property type, entire places average $2,358 per month, houses $2,627, and apartments $2,162. Entire-home ADR is $203. Listing-type, bedroom, and channel counts are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Daytona Beach, so this profile omits them. Demand in the city is driven by events and the beach. The profile data puts annual visitors at about 8,000,000 against a resident population of 86,015. The Daytona 500 in February, Bike Week in March, the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in August, and Biketoberfest in October anchor the calendar, alongside Daytona International Speedway and the Atlantic beach and boardwalk. Investors should treat the zoning rules described below as the first screen, since most residential addresses cannot legally host stays under 30 days.

Short-Term Rental Regulations

Short-term rentals of under 30 days are prohibited in all residential zoning districts in Daytona Beach under a Volusia County ordinance in effect since 2004, which classifies them as hotel or motel use. A court upheld the rule in December 2022, and in June 2024 Governor DeSantis vetoed SB 280, which would have blocked local governments from maintaining such prohibitions. STRs are permitted only in 4 designated tourist zoning districts and 13 redevelopment area zones, mainly beachfront corridors, downtown, Midtown, and major commercial thoroughfares where hotels already operate. Enforcement is rated moderate, and fines up to $15,000 per violation have been reported for residential violations. A permit is required and the annual cost is listed at $450. The required items are a City Business Tax Receipt, a City Occupational License, a Florida DBPR Vacation Rental License, and a Volusia County Tourist Development Tax account registration. All renew annually. The combined occupancy tax is 12.5%. There is no owner-occupancy requirement, no primary-residence requirement, and no cap on nights per year. In 2024 the City Commission also replaced its Residential License Program, which now requires owners of residential rental property with fewer than 5 units to register annually. Verify the current rules with the city and county before buying, since these details may change.

Market Comparison

September is the seasonal low in the Volusia and Flagler County area STR market, with occupancy of 39.6% and a $199 ADR in September 2026, so a fairer read uses the full year. Averaging the twelve monthly occupancy readings gives about 56.5%, with March at 72.4% and July at 67.9% well above that average. ADR is strongest in June ($227), July ($225), and March ($221). The region also shows positive momentum, with occupancy up 7.5%, ADR up 4.8%, and revenue up 6.7% year over year. Year to date in 2026 the ADR is $236. Top operators and listing counts are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Daytona Beach, so this profile omits them. The market’s strength is a high-volume, event-driven calendar. Its limit is a legal footprint restricted to tourist zones in Daytona Beach.
