Steadier income, far less work, and no weekly turnover.
A well-run short-term rental can gross more in peak season, but it comes with cleaning crews, guest messages, licensing and empty winter months. A long-term tenant pays every month of the year.
We help owners make the switch: pricing for the year-round market, furnished or unfurnished, and a lease that works for a property you may want back one day. Many County owners live in Toronto or Ottawa, so we are the team on the ground.

Why long-term rentals work in Prince Edward County.
Wineries, restaurants and the hospital in Picton need staff who live in the County all year.
The County licenses short-term rentals, and some owners find a long-term lease simpler to run.
We lease both, including a furnished four-bedroom on Jane Street in Picton this year.
