Renting

Renting at Whitney Beach

Whitney Beach is a residential community rather than a resort. There is no rental office here. However, individuals outside the community may rent units from Whitney owners for between 1-6 months. Owners who rent their units handle their own marketing and renting transactions.

While they are here, we welcome renters anywhere on our property, at our facilities and at our social events. We also ask that they keep in mind that they are vacationing where people live and be respectful of our residents and our property.

Rental Rules

Leases are for a minimum period of one month or thirty consecutive days. No Unit may be rented more than 6 times in a calendar year, with the commencement date of the lease determining the year in which the lease is made. No subleasing or assignment of lease rights by the renter is permitted.

The Rental Application is available on the Management Company website at amiwra.com.

A Longboat Key Residential Registry Ordinance became effective October 1, 2023. A short-term rental registry has been established for all rentals of less than 6 months. A copy of this certificate must accompany the Rental Application. There is a fee for the initial certificate and a renewal fee yearly.
