Kimberley is known for its 160+ km of trails, stunning natural surroundings, friendly community, and a range of lodging choices. When exploring rental options Kimberley offers, it’s important to consider the type of accommodation that best fits your needs. Here are some common rental types you will find:


  • Condos: Ideal for singles, couples, or small families looking for convenience and amenities. Multiple condos work great for larger groups.

  • Single-family Homes: Perfect for those who want more space, privacy, and resort-base lodging.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Rental


Before signing a lease, it’s essential to evaluate several factors to ensure your rental meets your lifestyle and budget. Here are some practical tips:


  1. Location

    Resort-base and the alpine village area provide access to shopping, the ski hill and

    the trail network and work wonderfully for your holiday. Platzl area hotels (The Larix) is great for being close to the Platzl action.


  2. Budget

    Determine your maximum rent and include utilities, parking fees, and other costs. Kimberley offers rentals across a range of price points, so setting a clear budget helps narrow your search.


  3. Short Term Rental Agreement

    Understand the pet policies, cancellation policies and any restrictions. Some rentals may even offer month-to-month options.


  4. Amenities and Features

    Consider what’s important to you: in-unit laundry, parking, outdoor space, or access to community facilities like gyms or pools (Trickle Creek Lodge).


By carefully weighing these factors, you can avoid surprises and find a short term rental that feels like home.


How to Search for Rentals Kimberley BC


Finding the right rental requires a strategic approach. Here are some effective ways to search for rentals in Kimberley:


  • Online Listings

Websites and platforms dedicated to local rentals provide detailed listings with photos, prices, and contact information. Be sure to check regularly as new properties become available.


  • Local Property Management Companies

These companies often have exclusive listings and can help match you with properties that fit your criteria. We recommend Alpine Lodging and Simply Kimberley as two trusted local property management companies specialized in short term rentals.


  • Word of Mouth

Networking with past visitors and locals on the chairlift, can uncover hidden gems.


For a reliable source of rental listings, consider visiting Airbnb or VRBO to explore current availability. However, reminder to ALWAYS search for your property manager business name to SAVE. Most managers mark-up Airbnb or VRBO rates by 10-15% to compensate for the commission the platforms take.
