Vacation rental brokers in SoCal?

Question

Looking for a broker or STR manager/owner who can help us find a 2 month place to stay this 2020 summer. Budget is $15k/mo. We have 3 kids and a well behaved lab mix that goes everywhere with us and runs/walks with us off leash (when allowed/legal). Walkable to restaurants or beach, bike-able and family friendly would be cool.

Are there any brokers out there that do this or STR owners/managers that have something?

Hey Paul,

@Paul Sandhu don’t think Kansas is in the cards  Do like to fish and have considered Montana, Idaho, Utah, but I think for the family we ultimately would like beach and California has a ton of it.

@John Underwood kinda pin pointed my problem. The internet has 1000s of ads. I have little to no familiarity in most of these areas for a couple months of living so looking for more or less a STR travel agent or broker.

@Kevin Boyd sending you a PM. Prefer walkable, bikeable to beach with a beach town area to boot.

@Michael Baum I've searched CHBO. I found a couple on there that may work and actually rented a place i owned on CHBO before as well. I'll probably keep looking there and AirBnB, and VRBO and local agencies.

Thanks so much BP community.

@Paul Lee I have some 3BR and 4BR places in Coffeyville Kansas that are STRs. They go for $600 and $800 a week.  There isn't much tourism here, but if you like to fish or hunt there are plenty of opportunities for that.

Why don't you just search yourself on Vrbo, Airbnb, FB marketplace, Craigslist or Google.

Shouldn't be to difficult to find yourself. You'll likely have more options this way.

Hey Paul,

I have 3 that would fit what you’re looking for. Each have lots of amenities like pools, play structures, fire pits, etc. is there a particular part of the county you are looking for?

15k a month? Sounds like it should be cake to find something. Did you just do some searching?

www.corporatehousingbyowner.co... might be a good place to start. There are some pretty great places on there for 1/3 your budget in San Diego.
