Where and When to Rent

Southwest Florida is one of the most gorgeous and popular seasonal destinations for visitors. Every year the Naples/Bonita Springs areas welcomes tourists from all over the world looking to see the best beaches, best weather, and best accommodations. We also welcome back our annual visitors or “snow birds” that love the area and come down every season. All this demand creates a very active and competitive rental market which can fill up very quickly. BDR has access to a large variety of beachfront and area rental property; please contact our office 7 days a week for info & questions.

Below is the rental breakdown for Monthly & Weekly Rentals:

Season – January, February, March

Pre & Post Season Months – November, December, April, May

Off Season – June, July, August, September, October

In terms of cost the high season months are the most desirable, bringing the highest traffic to SWFL. These dates must be booked ahead of time to ensure availability. These months offer the best events, weather, and most active time in SWFL. The pre and post season months have great temperatures and still bring a lot of visitors to the area and more reasonable rental rates can be found for renters in these months. The summer months are extremely quiet in SWFL; locals and tourists alike look to beat the hot temperatures by spending their days at the beach and enjoying the quiet months leading up to season. Rentals are available in the summer months for as much as 50% discount. Many visitors take advantage of the laid back summer atmosphere of SWFL and these summer prices.
There are many different configurations for rent. Condos typically are no larger then three bedrooms. Villas and single family homes usually have up to six bedrooms. Give BDR a call and we will go over all available rental floor plans. If you provide all of your requirements in terms of budget, bedrooms, and amenities such as garage, pets, pool, and beach proximity we can give you a precise list of available property.
Annual Rentals are available throughout SWFL including the Barefoot Beach area. Interested tenants please call 239-947-6111 and we will provide a list of currently available gulf and bay front property.
The Naples/Bonita Springs area is your best bet for some relaxing fun, no matter when you come to visit. However, there can be restrictions depending on where you rent, so please click the “restrictions” button to learn more.

Restrictions

There are minimal restrictions with most every rental property, especially those located in HOA condominium communities. Here are some examples of restrictions all potential tenants should be aware of.

Smoking
Number of guests
Pet Size, if at all
RV vehicles

Please inform our agents of any relevant information to the above list when you inquire about rental property.

There are also day minimums depending on HOA and/or owner rules. Most gated and luxury communities limit the amount of times an owner may rent a property with stay minimums (usually 30 days.) Even if there are no restrictions owners themselves will usually rent only in months during season to maximize income because of the high demand. However, BDR can always locate daily and weekly accommodations for quick or extended stays.

Complete Lease Details

Lease contracts used by BDR are very clear in language and disclosure. We generally use two types one for monthly rentals and a separate annual lease contract. These leases provide renters with all of their rights and important dates. Some important info regarding a lease is as follows

10% tax = 6% sales tax & 4% bed tax
Tenants should be aware of all HOA rules beforehand to be in compliance (documents are made available)
Payment schedule can vary but is usually paid with half at signing of lease and the other half no later then 5 days before occupancy of property. *Annual leases follow monthly schedule.
Renter should expect to pay refundable security deposit, cleaning fee, and pet deposit (if applicable.)
Utilities are typically the responsibility of the landlord in shorter lease periods.
Other details of any rental will be thoroughly explained by your BDR rental agent.
