Zoned residential and not able to be rented out on a nightly or short term basis for stays under 1 month.

Quarter Share Ownership

Each owner purchases 25% ownership in the property, all names go on title and user stays are divided up equally.  

Note: Whistler is very special in the way that property is regulated and zoned.  Stratifying, leasehold, land with rental restrictions, rental caps, land covenants and phasing are some examples.  This is one of the main reasons why you should utilize the services of a realtor that specializes in the Whistler area to guide you through your Whistler real estate purchase.
