My son has been offered a co-op with Southern Company in Eatonton, GA. They are providing a "duplicate" housing allowance since he's already got housing in Athens.
Does anyone here have any monthly rentals available in the Eatonton, Sparta, Monticello area?
His housing allowance is $1,000/mo and with so many lake properties (Lake Oconee / Sinclair) $1,000 a month doesn't seem to go very far. Or there are just so many vacation rentals in the market, it's hard to sift them out and see if there is anything different available.

Hi Chris,
I searched for properties near Eatonton that are available Nov 1st for less than $1200 on furnishedfinder.com and found 3 SE of Eatonton and 1 NE that meet that criteria.
I chose $1200 because FF shares some of their data publicly at furnishedfinder.com/stats. One of the bits of info they share is percentages of listings at various price points, and "below $1200" is one of those break points. That makes me think that landlords see that and are influenced to raise rents to that number. I certainly could be wrong about that :). With that said, 3 of the 4 listing's are for $1200 a month.
It's definitely the off season for Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair, so reaching out to these listings through FF and seeing if they can match your son's budget is worth a try.
I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thank you. I will 100% reach out to FF and reach out directly to some of those listings / owners and see if we can work something out.
