In response to growing concerns over the potential for crime associated with short-term rentals, Vero Beach code-enforcement officers are now more aggressively enforcing the City’s revised code, which prohibits so-called “vacation rentals,” or rentals of homes in residential areas for less than one month.
Not waiting for complaints for residents, code-enforcement officers are reading online website advertising short-term vacation rentals in residential areas. The stepped up enforcement is, in part, a response to a recent crime spree in the central beach area. Earlier this month, at least half a dozen residents came before the City Council urging the City to more strictly enforce the ban on short-term rentals.
Also under public pressure to address the problem, the Indian River County Commission, which two years ago dropped its ban on short-term rentals, is considering tighter parking restrictions as a way of discouraging short-term rentals.

If you check the biggest rental web site ( VRBO.com ) you will see 405 places available for rent. Now some have a 30 day minimum but well over 100 of these do not, ranging from 1-7 night minimums. ( http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/usa/florida/central-east/vero-beach )
An other site is AirBNB.com has become big also, and also allows for people to rent out just rooms shows about 59 places allowing short term rentals.
It’s not rocket science if they wanted to crack down on the people who are ignoring the bylaw.
Hope they really do!
