Frequently Asked Questions

Most waterfront properties require minimum one-year leases due to their premium nature, though some may offer shorter terms (6 months) during low season at higher monthly rates.

This varies by property. About 60% of high-end waterfront rentals include basic utilities (water, garbage collection), while electricity and internet are typically tenant responsibilities. Always verify what's included before signing.

Most premium waterfront properties feature 24/7 guarded security, electric fences, CCTV systems and sometimes marine patrols for beachfront locations. Gated communities provide additional layers of security.

Many lakefront and coastal rentals include private docks or boat parking spaces. However, some estates may charge additional docking fees or restrict boat sizes - always confirm these details beforehand.

Some riverfront properties may experience accessibility changes during heavy rains. Reputable landlords will disclose any seasonal considerations. Lake levels can also fluctuate - ask about historical water patterns.
