Market Overview
This profile covers Flagler Beach, Florida, using September 2026 data. Performance figures describe the Volusia and Flagler County STR market, a shared Central Florida region that includes Flagler Beach, Palm Coast, Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, DeLand, New Smyrna Beach, and Deltona. These towns report the same underlying metric series, so every performance number below reflects the region rather than Flagler Beach alone. Flagler Beach itself has 5,568 residents and sits between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach. In September 2026 the Volusia and Flagler County STR market averaged an ADR of $199, occupancy of 39.6%, and monthly revenue of $2,318 per listing. Entire-home listings averaged $203 per night. Year over year, occupancy rose 7.5%, ADR rose 4.8%, and revenue rose 6.7%, so September is seasonally weak but stronger than a year ago. September is the occupancy low point of the year, with a long-run September average of 41.6%. Across full years, average occupancy peaked at 63.8% in 2021 and was 54.3% in 2025, while ADR climbed from $154 in 2017 to $221 in 2025. Through the first nine months of 2026, occupancy averages 56.4%, ADR averages $236, and monthly revenue averages $3,667, ahead of the 2025 full-year ADR of $221 and monthly revenue of $3,319. Seasonal revenue summed across twelve months comes to $35,094 per listing a year. For demand context, Flagler County drew 948,800 visitors in fiscal 2024, a county-wide figure because no city-specific count is published. Bedroom, booking channel, and listing-type counts are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Flagler Beach, so this profile omits them. Buyers should also note that Flagler Beach regulates new residential rentals tightly, which is covered in the regulatory section.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Flagler Beach is one of the more tightly regulated STR markets in Florida, and enforcement is rated strict. The city passed a local short-term rental ordinance in 2008 and kept it when Florida pre-empted local STR regulation in 2011, so it retains stronger local control than most Florida cities. Short-term rentals are permitted, but a permit is required: a City Resort Dwelling or Resort Condominium Rental Permit, plus a Flagler County Short-Term Vacation Rental certificate and a Florida DBPR lodging license. The city permit costs about $60 and renews annually. Rentals are largely confined to tourist and commercial zoning districts, such as Tourist Commercial and General Commercial. In residential zones, rentals are generally limited to properties registered before the 2008 ordinance, roughly 190 registered rentals citywide, and new residential rentals face significant limits. Owners must keep a responsible local contact available 24 hours a day, and fire and life-safety standards apply. Owner-occupancy and primary-residence requirements do not apply. Operators must collect and remit a 5% Flagler County tourist development tax directly, because Airbnb and VRBO do not remit it automatically, plus Florida’s 6.5% transient sales tax, about 11.5% combined. No major local rule change has been confirmed in the last 24 months, though neighboring Palm Coast moved in 2024 toward drafting its own vacation-rental ordinance. Verify current fees and permit availability with Flagler Beach Planning and Zoning before buying.
Market Comparison
The Volusia and Flagler County STR market looked seasonally soft in September 2026, with 39.6% occupancy and a $199 ADR. September is a seasonal low, though. On a year-to-date basis, 2026 occupancy is 56.4% and ADR is $236, compared with 54.3% occupancy and a $221 ADR for full-year 2025. Premium tiers price well above the all-listings average: professionally managed listings at $243 and luxury listings at $335 both exceed the $199 all-listings ADR. Market-wide, revenue is growing, with the 6.7% year-over-year revenue gain supported by gains in both occupancy and ADR. Top operator names and rankings are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Flagler Beach, so this profile omits them. The main difference from many larger resort markets is Flagler Beach’s restrictive rental rules, which limit new supply in residential areas.
