I, for one, would be bull***t if I owned a lakefront home next to a rental.
To look at it from a different perspective: What if the owner occupied home next door to you was purchased by someone you couldn't get along with. Their family disturbed you and they had large groups of noisy visitors every weekend. All you could do was grin and put up with it. No matter how many times you tried to reason with the neighbor it never got better. You would be stuck long term and your only option would be to sell your house and move.

At least with weekly rentals if there is a problem family they are gone in a week. A bad neighbor lasts forever!

Just a different perspective.
