TL;DR
Best to search apartments on myhome.ge, ss.ge or dedicated Facebook/Telegram groups; summer (July-August) rents run 2-3x higher than winter due to peak tourist season.
For apartment listings, use Georgian aggregator sites myhome.ge and ss.ge, plus dedicated Batumi rental Facebook groups where owners post directly.
For a short family trip (1-2 weeks), Booking or Airbnb is simpler — plenty of seaside apartments, though pricier than renting directly from a landlord.
Average 1-bedroom apartment rent in summer (peak season, June-August) runs about $400-600/month, dropping to $200-300 in winter.
In winter, negotiate directly with owners — it's low season, so a 20-30% discount is realistic for longer-term rentals.
For a family with a one-year-old, the Boulevard area or Old Town (Old Batumi) is recommended — close to the sea, promenade and cafes, and calmer than the busy center.
September in Batumi is still warm (around 77-82°F / 25-28°C) with warm sea water for swimming — a good month to travel with a small child, avoiding summer heat and crowds.
