Most of the furnished rentals are for shorter stays. It may be hard to find one still available that is unrented for a full year.

Depending on size and amenities, most rentals are for $3 to $4k in winter months and down to 1 to 1.5k for summer months. I think you may have a hard time finding one for $1k per month.

A year is a long time to rent. I would suggest you wait until after the high winter season and look for a 3 to 6 month rental. Many should be available in the off season. You might want to try several shorter stays in different parts of TV to experience the variety available.

You can probably find your dream home in a much shorter time frame than one year. We rented for a month and bought after 4 days.

Good luck!
