“Vacation Rental” means any dwelling unit, or group of dwelling units in a condominium or cooperative, or any individually or collectively owned single-family or multi-family house or dwelling unit that is rented in whole or in part to guests more than three times in a calendar year for periods of less than 30 days or one calendar month, whichever is less, or which is advertised or held out to the public as a place regularly rented to guests, but that is not a timeshare project.
