Many owners who rent their property look to cover their carrying costs while enjoying 6-8 weeks in the high season. Rental income potential varies depending on several factors, including owner usage, the size and location of the property, the time of year, and if the home has Club Membership. However, properties at Royal Westmoreland generally command high rental rates due to their exclusive location, luxury amenities and fun, vibrant community.
