You will be required to have a permit to rent a seasonal vacation home. During the summer season, you can rent by the week or longer periods of time. While demand is very high and you’ll get top dollar from June through August, you might also consider renting in September and October (leaf peepers are a great target audience in these months) and some people want to enjoy the magic of a snowy Maine winter.
If you do plan to rent your house out, consider costs of cleaning, maintenance, furnishings, including linens, outfitting the kitchen. art/decor, firewood, if applicable and property management as well as advertising for the rental.
Consult local regulations concerning Air BNB or VRBO as some places do not allow them.
