How do you go about finding a suitable vacation rental property? Look for a local property management company that manages a variety of types of accommodation. The housing inventory in Whistler is extremely varied, from youth hostels at the bottom end to $10m homes that rent for up to $10,000 per night. Try going outside the Christmas and New Year peak, as this is when pricing is highest and queues are longest. If you choose January or April you can get a very pleasant 2-bed condo for less than $300 per night which would cost you $6-700 in the peak season. A 5-bedroom ski-in, ski-out home which might be $2000 per night in the peak can be picked up for less than $1000 in the off-peak months. Other times to avoid are the UK school half-term week and President's Week in the US; these two are usually the middle 2 weeks of February.
