Renting in Highland Beach

Highland Beach rents almost entirely by the condominium. Furnished units in the oceanfront buildings along South Ocean Boulevard, from the Ambassadors and Coronado to Trafalgar and Toscana, lease for the winter season to families from the Northeast, the Midwest and abroad, and the Intracoastal-side buildings at Boca Highland, Regency Highland Club and Seagate of Highland add marina and sunset views at a lower rent. Annual leases exist, mostly unfurnished units and the townhouses of Highland Beach, Bel Lido and Delray by the Sea, and a few houses on the Intracoastal lease furnished by the season. Every building approves its own tenants, so the application starts early.

Houses, Condos and Apartments

Rentals in Highland Beach range from studio apartments to furnished estate homes. The market table on this page splits the median rent between houses and townhomes on one side and condos and apartments on the other, because the two markets price very differently, and the pages below narrow the search by home type, monthly rent, furnishing, pets and lease length.

How Renting With BreakThru Works

Tell us your budget, move-in date and must-haves, and a licensed rental agent builds a shortlist, schedules tours and helps you apply with a complete file. In most South Florida rentals the landlord pays the agent commission, so our help costs a renter nothing.

Own a Home in Highland Beach?

A Highland Beach landlord is usually leasing a condominium, and the first decisions belong to the building: whether leasing is allowed in the first year of ownership, the minimum term, how many times a year a unit may be let, the application fee and how long the board takes to approve. Within those rules the choice is between a furnished seasonal lease at a winter rent and an annual tenant who keeps the unit occupied through the summer. We check the building's rules first, then price your unit from live Highland Beach rents and the leases that actually closed in the same building, and we screen every tenant before a showing.

Renting in Highland Beach: What to Know Before You Apply

Where renters live

Renters in Highland Beach live in the condominium buildings along South Ocean Boulevard, and the choice is which side of the road. On the ocean side, furnished units in the Ambassadors, Coronado, Trafalgar, the Highland Beach Club, 45 Ocean and Toscana open onto the beach and lease mostly for the winter. On the Intracoastal side, Boca Highland, Regency Highland Club, Seagate of Highland, Clarendon and Villa Costa offer sunset views, marina slips in some buildings and lower rents for the same space. A few townhouses at Delray by the Sea and Bel Lido and the occasional house on the waterway round it out, and the shops and restaurants are over the bridges in Boca Raton and Delray Beach.

Annual or seasonal

Highland Beach is a winter town for renters, but not only one. Furnished units in the oceanfront buildings lease for the season or by the month and are spoken for by late autumn, often by families who return each year, so a tenant planning a Highland Beach winter should be searching in early autumn. Annual leases exist in most buildings and in the townhouses, usually unfurnished, and they turn over in late spring when the season ends and owners decide what to do with an empty unit. Whichever you want, the building's minimum term and its limit on leases a year decide what an owner may offer, so ask about them before you fall for a view.

What to have ready

A Highland Beach rental application is reviewed twice, by the owner and by the building, so the file should be complete before the showing. Expect to supply photo identification, proof of income or assets, bank and landlord references, consent to credit and background checks and, for a furnished seasonal unit, the names of everyone who will stay and whether a pet or a boat comes too. Many owners spend the summer up north or abroad, and some boards meet only once a month, so a packet sent with the offer shortens the wait. Bring the vehicle details as well, because parking in a Highland Beach building is assigned.

Association approval

Nearly every rental in Highland Beach is a condominium, so association approval is the rule rather than the exception. Each building runs its own application with its own fee, interviews some tenants in person, sets a minimum lease term and often limits how many times a year a unit may be let; several bar leasing in an owner's first year, which rules some units out before you start. Approval can take two to four weeks, longer in summer when boards are away, and the move-in date follows it. The townhouses and the houses on Bel Lido have lighter rules, but the town itself bars very short stays everywhere in Highland Beach.

Deposits and move-in costs

Move-in costs on a Highland Beach rental run higher than the rent alone. An annual lease usually asks for first and last month and a security deposit, a furnished seasonal lease often asks for the whole season in advance plus a deposit sized to the furnishings, and the building adds its own application fee and sometimes a separate damage deposit, a move-in fee or an elevator reservation charge. Florida law sets how a deposit must be held and returned, and the lease should say who pays the electricity, the internet and the cable, which some Highland Beach associations include in the maintenance fee and others do not. Ask for the furnished inventory in writing.

Highland Beach Rentals FAQ

How much is rent in Highland Beach?
The median asking rent in Highland Beach is $7,500 a month across 47 active rentals in BeachesMLS. Houses and townhomes ask a median $9,000 and condos and apartments $7,350. Leases signed in the last 90 days closed at a median $7,900 for houses and townhomes and $5,200 for condos and apartments. These figures update daily on this page.
Do I pay a fee to rent a home in Highland Beach through BreakThru Realty?
In most South Florida rentals the landlord pays the agent commission, so working with a BreakThru rental agent costs a renter nothing. If a specific listing works differently, we tell you before you tour it.
What do I need to apply for a rental in Highland Beach?
Most landlords ask for a government-issued photo ID, recent pay stubs or an offer letter showing income of roughly three times the monthly rent, recent bank statements, a credit report and rental references. Having these ready before you tour lets you apply the same day.
How long does rental approval take in Highland Beach?
Landlord approval usually takes one to three business days. If the home is in a condo or HOA community, which is common in Highland Beach, the association runs its own application and approval, and that can take two to four weeks in many buildings. We start the association paperwork the moment you are accepted.
Can I rent a pet-friendly home in Highland Beach?
Yes. The pet-friendly page lists every current Highland Beach rental whose listing says pets are allowed. Most still set limits, such as breed or size restrictions, a maximum number of pets and a pet fee or deposit, and condo associations often add rules of their own, so we confirm the policy for your pet before you apply.
Are there seasonal rentals in Highland Beach?
Yes. Furnished homes and condos in Highland Beach are let by the month or the season, with the strongest demand from January through April. Seasonal rents run higher than annual leases and the best winter rentals book months ahead, so start early; the seasonal and furnished pages show what is available now.
