Renting in South Florida moves fast — good homes lease in days, seasonal demand spikes every winter, and application requirements vary from landlord to landlord. Cabana West Real Estate, led by licensed broker Andy B. Cooper, matches tenants with the right homes and landlords with the right tenants — quickly and reliably.
For Tenants: Find a Home for Rent
We search the live Beaches MLS plus off-market landlord contacts to find annual and seasonal rentals in Wellington, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Royal Palm Beach, Lake Worth and beyond. We schedule showings, prepare a complete application package — screening report, proof of income, references — and negotiate the lease so you are protected before you sign.
- Move fast — a prepared application wins the home when several tenants apply at once.
- Know the real cost — we clarify deposits, fees, HOA approvals and utilities before you commit.
- Bilingual support — English y español, for local and international tenants.
For Landlords: Lease Your Property
An empty property costs you money every month. We market your rental on the MLS and beyond, screen applicants properly (credit, background, income and rental history), and prepare a Florida lease that protects your asset. From single condos to small portfolios — handled personally by a broker, not passed to an assistant.
Seasonal vs. Annual Leases in Palm Beach County
The winter equestrian and social season (roughly November through April) creates a strong seasonal-rental market in Wellington and Palm Beach. Seasonal leases command premium rates but need precise timing and furnishing; annual leases offer stability and simpler management. We help owners choose the strategy that earns more — and help tenants find the right fit for their stay.
Common Questions
What do I need to qualify for a rental in Florida?
Most landlords look for income around three times the monthly rent, a reasonable credit score, and clean rental history. Some communities also require an HOA application with its own fee and approval time — we flag that before you apply.
Does it cost tenants anything to use Cabana West?
In most Florida rentals the landlord or listing broker pays the tenant agent's compensation. We confirm compensation in writing for each property before you tour it.
