Given that California beaches are a highly desirable place to visit, rental properties are in high demand. There are several factors you may want to determine before you speak with your agent. First, what is your budget? We work hard to only show you properties that meet your criteria and know that sticking to a budget is one of the most important factors. Second, what time of year would you like rent the property? Having a range of dates that you are flexible with may give you an advantage on getting an “in-demand” property. Third, what is your ideal location? Would you like to be walking distance to the beach? Or are you an avid cyclist and don’t mind being further from restaurants and stores? Lastly, you will want to consider your minimum size requirements. Although some families would be happy in a studio or one bedroom rental, it may not be suitable for those with young children.
