No, you would want a caretaker at least.
You can't shut a house up here. Air flow is needed to keep it from molding, and, yes, there is vandalism, big business here.
The more successful vaca rentals are going to be near the ocean, that is what the average visitor wants. The Punatic visitor who wants to move here doesn't insist on that, but the nightly rate will be much lower. Don't forget you will have to furnish the whole house to do a vaca rental, including kitchen.
Some people buy the existing contents of rentals that are shutting down for whatever reasons, or foreclosed rental units. New furniture and linens are not cheap here.
