How the rental year runs here
A Market With Its Own Calendar
Palm Beach County’s rental market runs on its own calendar. Most winter leases cover January through April, and many owners commit their homes for the season in late summer, so the earlier you start, the more you have to choose from.
Rents vary widely by town, by the water and by the season, from condos and golf-community homes to oceanfront houses on Palm Beach and Jupiter Island. The search below shows what is asking today; for the homes you like, I pull current leased comparables from the MLS.
I work with tenants looking for the right home and with owners leasing theirs, for a season or for the year.

Before you sign
How Seasonal Leases Work Here
Start early
The best furnished homes are often committed by early fall. An MLS alert for your dates and budget shows you new rentals the day they list.
Minimums and approvals
Many condominiums require a minimum term, limit leases per year, or ask tenants to apply to the association. I check the rules before you choose.
Money and paperwork
Seasonal leases often ask for much of the rent before arrival, plus a security deposit. I go through when rent is due, utilities and cleaning terms with you.
Clubs and pets
Club access for tenants depends on the club, and pet rules depend on the owner and the building. Both are confirmed in writing before you sign.
By the year
Annual Luxury Leases
Furnished and unfurnished homes leased by the year, whether you are relocating, building, or want time in an area before you buy.
West Palm Beach · Downtown
Luxury Condo Leases
High-rise residences in the newer waterfront towers and Intracoastal condos. Many people relocating for work lease downtown first, then buy once they know the area.
Jupiter · Palm Beach Gardens · Juno Beach
Waterfront Estate Leases
Deep-water homes with private docks, gated community homes and Intracoastal properties. A practical bridge while you relocate, build or sell another home.

Questions
Seasonal and Annual Rentals, Answered
How much do seasonal rentals cost in Palm Beach County?
It depends on the town, the size, the water and the months. The search above shows what is asking now, priced by the month. For the homes you like, I pull leased comparables from the MLS so you know what similar homes actually rented for. Most seasonal leases cover January through April, though some run October through May.
When should I start looking for a seasonal rental?
Early. Many owners commit their homes for the winter in August and September, so by November or December there is less to choose from. I set an MLS alert for your dates and budget so you see new rentals the day they list.
Is every rental in the search open for my dates?
Not always. A home can be committed for part of the season and still show as active, and some owners only lease for the full season. Send me your dates and I check each home with the listing agent before you plan around it.
What taxes apply to a seasonal rental?
Leases of six months or less are taxable in Florida: state sales tax plus Palm Beach County’s 6% tourist development tax, on the rent and on many fees. A lease longer than six months under a written agreement can be exempt. The lease should say who collects and remits it.
Can I rent a home in Palm Beach on Airbnb?
Not on the island itself. The Town of Palm Beach prohibits rentals shorter than 30 days. Many condominium and homeowner associations across the county set their own minimums, often 30 days, 90 days or a year, and some limit how many times a unit can be leased each year. I check the building’s rules before you fall for a home.
What is included in a furnished seasonal rental?
Usually furniture, linens and kitchenware. Many include pool and lawn care, pest control and Wi-Fi, and some include weekly housekeeping. Utilities are sometimes included in the rent and sometimes capped. I get all of it in the lease up front so there are no surprises.
I am relocating to Palm Beach County. Should I rent first?
Often, yes. The county covers more than 2,000 square miles, and Jupiter feels nothing like West Palm Beach, which feels nothing like the island of Palm Beach. A season or a year lets you learn the drive, try a few communities and buy with confidence. See Moving to South Florida for the rest of the move.
What about spring training rentals?
Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter hosts the Cardinals and the Marlins for spring training in February and March, and demand for furnished rentals nearby rises with it. If you own near the stadium or in Abacoa, that window is worth planning for.
