Yes, occupancy limits apply to rental homes along 30A. These limits are typically based on local building and fire safety codes, the home's approved bedroom count, and, in some communities, additional HOA restrictions.
Occupancy limits help protect guest safety, preserve neighborhood standards, and ensure homes are used as intended.

If you are buying a property as a vacation rental, verifying the legal occupancy limit is an important part of your due diligence because it can directly impact rental income.
