Market Overview
Indialantic is a small beachfront town of 3,117 residents on a barrier island in Brevard County, between the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic. Short-term rental performance here is reported at the Space Coast level, so every performance figure below describes the Space Coast STR market in Brevard County, which includes Indialantic, rather than the town alone. The most recent data month is September 2026. In that month the Space Coast STR market averaged an ADR of $183 and occupancy of 50.5%, with average monthly revenue of $2,638 per listing. Compared with September 2025, occupancy rose 9.8%, ADR rose 5.1%, and revenue rose 10.8%. Revenue by property type was $2,830 for houses, $2,757 for entire places and $2,498 for apartments. The seasonal sum of monthly revenue comes to $38,841 per year. Visitors come for the Atlantic beaches and boardwalk, surfing and surf fishing, sea turtle nesting season, and kayaking on the lagoon. Indialantic is a quiet residential base near Cocoa Beach, Kennedy Space Center and Brevard Zoo, and about 25% of residents are 65 or older. No town specific annual visitor count is published; tourism is tracked at the Brevard County level. Bedroom, channel and listing type counts are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Indialantic, so this profile omits them. Investors should note that town rules limit rentals to the tourist district east of State Road A1A, so the specific parcel matters as much as the market averages. The 2026 year to date figures (nine months) show occupancy of 65.0%, ADR of $226 and monthly revenue of $4,032, well above the single month of September because September is the seasonal low.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Indialantic permits short-term rentals, but with a geographic limit that most Florida towns cannot impose. Because the town had a rental ordinance in place before June 1, 2011, it is grandfathered under Florida’s state preemption law. Vacation rentals are allowed only in the tourist district on the east (ocean) side of State Road A1A. Rentals are prohibited in residential areas west of A1A, and violations face fines of up to $250 per day. The town code defines a vacation rental as a dwelling rented for tenancies of less than 90 days. A permit is required: a Brevard County Business Tax Receipt plus a Florida DBPR vacation rental license, with town zoning compliance. The Business Tax Receipt costs about $37 and renews annually. Hosts must collect and remit the 5% Brevard County Tourist Development Tax, plus 6% Florida state sales tax, on stays of six months or less. No owner occupancy requirement, primary residence requirement or annual night cap applies. Enforcement severity is rated moderate, and enforcement is complaint driven. The town manager has said most flagged operators come into compliance after notice. No major 2024 to 2026 regulatory changes specific to Indialantic were identified. The key due diligence item for any buyer is confirming that the parcel sits in the permitted tourist district east of A1A.
Market Comparison
The Space Coast STR market ran at 50.5% occupancy and a $183 ADR in September 2026. That is partly a seasonal effect, because September is the weakest month of the year here at 49.5% occupancy in the seasonal profile. Other months tell a different story: March (81.2%), February (80.5%), July (71.6%) and June (70.8%) all run far above September, and the 2026 year to date ADR of $226 and occupancy of 65.0% sit well above the September figures. Average monthly revenue of $3,237 across the seasonal year gives a more complete picture than any single month. Year over year, September occupancy rose 9.8% and ADR rose 5.1%, so the market is gaining ground. Top operator data is tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Indialantic, so this profile omits it. The main way Indialantic differs from the region is regulatory: only parcels east of A1A can operate legally, which limits supply.
