Summer long-term rentals in Tampa?

[coinkc]

My daughter has been offered a really great internship in Tampa this summer. However, we live in the midwest and housing is not offered through the program. Any suggestions or ideas as to where to look for a summer only rental? It is a paid internship but she would like to actually be able to save some money and not spend everything she makes on rent.

This is all new to us so any advice is appreciated!

Typically with internships, they have recommendations of housing, whether it's renting a room with a current employee, setting interns up with roommates, etc. Have her talk to the company. I'm sure they'll have advice.

My parents are "snow birding" to Tampa for the first time next winter, so I've been helping them hunt for furnished monthly rentals. We've had success using VRBO. Many of the properties have monthly rates and are managed by property management companies. You can filter your search by location, price, etc. There were several furnished condos in the Brandon area that looked clean, safe, and nicely appointed so they are going with one of those. Good luck!

Is there a university nearby? She could probably find a summer sublet near there. Check their off campus housing website and they may have a link to rentals. Although it may be a little early.
