Renting in Tequesta

Renters in Tequesta choose between the village and the island. On the mainland, houses in Tequesta Country Club, Jupiter in the Pines, Cypress Ridge and Ridgewood lease by the year or furnished for the winter, and condominiums and townhomes at Lighthouse Cove, Tequesta Trace, Reserve at Tequesta and Bella Villaggio offer a smaller home near the shops on U.S. 1. Across the Intracoastal, buildings on Beach Road such as Tequesta Towers, Island House, Seamist, La Mar and Ocean Villas lease mostly furnished for the season, with the ocean or the Intracoastal outside and, in some, a boat slip. Many owners offer a home either annually or for the season, so ask early.

Houses, Condos and Apartments

Rentals in Tequesta 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 Tequesta?

A Tequesta landlord first decides between an annual tenant and a winter one. Pool houses in the village and furnished condominiums on Beach Road command a winter rent from December to April, and several owners advertise the same home both ways and let the market choose. Condominium associations set the terms: the minimum lease, how many leases a year, the application and approval, and pets, and the buildings for residents 55 and over add an age rule. We check the rules first, price your home from live Tequesta rents and the leases that closed nearby, and screen every tenant before a showing.

Renting in Tequesta: What to Know Before You Apply

Where renters live

Renters in Tequesta pick between the village and Beach Road. In the village, houses in Jupiter in the Pines, Ridgewood, Cypress Ridge and Tequesta Country Club lease to families by the year or furnished for the winter, and condominiums and townhomes at Lighthouse Cove, Tequesta Trace, Tequesta Gardens and Reserve at Tequesta sit a walk or a short drive from the shops on Tequesta Drive and U.S. 1. On the island, buildings on Beach Road such as Tequesta Towers, Island House, Seamist and La Mar put the ocean or the Intracoastal outside the window. A few houses north of the county line in Martin County share the Tequesta address.

Annual or seasonal

Tequesta is a winter town for renters on Beach Road and a year round town in the village. Furnished condominiums on the island and pool houses in the village lease for the season, roughly December to April, and owners take bookings months ahead, often from the same families each year, so a winter tenant should start looking in late summer. Annual leases are the norm for village houses and townhomes, many offered unfurnished, and they turn over in late spring and summer when families move. Several owners advertise a home both ways, so ask for both prices before you choose in Tequesta.

What to have ready

A Tequesta rental application moves faster when the file is ready before the showing. Expect to provide photo identification, proof of income or assets, landlord references and consent to credit and background checks and, for a condominium, the association's own application and fee. Name everyone who will live in the home, any pet and any vehicle, because parking is assigned in many buildings, and say whether a boat is coming if the home has a dock. Owners of winter rentals often spend the summer up north, so a complete packet sent with the offer saves days on a Tequesta lease.

Association approval

Association approval is part of most condominium and townhome rentals in Tequesta. Each association runs its own application with its own fee, may interview the tenant, sets a minimum lease term and may limit how many times a year a unit is let, and the communities for residents 55 and over apply their age rule to tenants too. Approval can take from a few days to several weeks, longer in summer when boards are away, and the move in date follows it. Houses on open village streets usually need only the owner's approval, while those in gated communities over the county line go through the association as well.

Deposits and move-in costs

Move in costs on a Tequesta rental run above the first month's rent. An annual lease usually asks for first and last month and a security deposit, a furnished winter lease often asks for much of the season in advance with a deposit sized to the furnishings, and many listings show the total due at signing. Associations add an application fee and sometimes a move in fee or a deposit of their own. Florida law sets how a deposit must be held and returned, and the lease should say who pays the electricity, the water, the internet and the pool service in a Tequesta home.

Tequesta Rentals FAQ

How much is rent in Tequesta?
The median asking rent in Tequesta is $7,000 a month across 32 active rentals in BeachesMLS. Houses and townhomes ask a median $7,500 and condos and apartments $6,250. Leases signed in the last 90 days closed at a median $5,125 for houses and townhomes and $2,500 for condos and apartments. These figures update daily on this page.
Do I pay a fee to rent a home in Tequesta 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 Tequesta?
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 Tequesta?
Landlord approval usually takes one to three business days. If the home is in a condo or HOA community, which is common in Tequesta, 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 Tequesta?
Yes. The pet-friendly page lists every current Tequesta 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 Tequesta?
Yes. Furnished homes and condos in Tequesta 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.
