We have a house in W Hyannisport, I was shocked to hear what some of our neighbors were charging to rent their places via VRBO or Air BnB. A lot of people have bought houses thinking they can easily Air BnB or similar, but as noted the market has shifted some. The Cape, like our area needs housing for the people that work there.
