Why Rent in The Shores
The Shores is a non-gated condominium community in central Wellington built by multiple builders from 1982 to 2004, located off Big Blue Trace near South Shore Boulevard. The community includes more than 250 condos across two distinct building styles — four-story mid-rise elevator buildings constructed in the early 1980s and two-story townhome-style buildings with one-car garages added in later phases. Floor plans range from approximately 1,000 to 1,768 air-conditioned square feet with 2 to 3 bedrooms and 2 to 2.5 bathrooms. Many units enjoy lake or canal views from screened patios or balconies, and select ground-floor units have canal access that connects directly to Lake Wellington. A community pool, tennis courts, and a central Wellington location near equestrian venues, parks, schools, shopping, and dining round out what makes The Shores one of the more versatile condo rental options in the area.
- Non-gated community with a mix of four-story elevator buildings and two-story garage-style condos

What to Know Before Renting in The Shores
Lease Terms
The Shores allows a minimum lease of 30 days. A unit may only be rented once per 12-month period. This makes The Shores one of the few Wellington condo communities where short-term and seasonal rentals are permitted, which is a notable draw for equestrian season renters and others who need flexibility. If you need to rent more than once per year, reach out and I can help you identify other Wellington communities where that may be an option.
Equestrian Season Rentals
Wellington is home to the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF), one of the largest and longest-running horse shows in the world, which runs from January through April each year. The Shores is a popular and affordable option for equestrians and horse show attendees who want a low-maintenance condo with lake or canal views just minutes from the polo grounds and equestrian venues via South Shore Boulevard and Big Blue Trace.
Because short-term rentals are permitted with a 30-day minimum, The Shores sees strong seasonal demand. Inventory moves fast and many tenants begin their search 3 to 6 months in advance. Reach out early and I will add you to alerts so you are notified the moment something hits the market.
Association Approval Process
Because The Shores is an association-governed community, tenants go through an approval process before move-in. This typically includes a rental application and background check, with an approval period that generally runs about 2 to 4 weeks. There is an application fee per applicant — confirm the current amount with the association or through me when you are ready to move forward. Plan your move-in date accordingly and factor this window into your timeline.
Pets
The Shores allows 1 pet. Individual landlords may have additional restrictions on top of association rules. If you have a pet, share the breed and weight in the questionnaire below and I will focus your search on units where your pet will be approved.
