Lots of for rent signs at nice looking places around town. I think alot of owners want to hold them for busy season though so you cant lock in a decent longer term rate everywhere. That was the case at a couple places the real estate agent I used was looking at for me. They wanted double rent for December and January. Same thing on the websites, rent might be listed at $1200 now but it fluctuates some based on the season. Thought I was gonna get a really sick place until I found that out. Still was able to find a very good place though, just had to go down the list a little bit.

JB, would you PM me the info for the realtor you used? And maybe PM me the complex you're in (if it's a condo) if you like the place you're at.

Im moving to playa del carmen in january with 3-4 other people. We're looking to rent a nice house/condo for 6 months.

I was wondering if it was better to just book a couple of nights at a motel the first few nights and then just start looking for houses there? Seems to me like you can get a much better deal than through websites, because most websites are pretty expensive for what you get.

If anyone could share some info, I would highly appreciate that.

I would STRONGLY recommend not booking a place until you get down here. You want to get a feel for the place and decide what part of town you want to live in, if it's worth the extra dough to be on the beach, if you want to be close to the bars or not, etc. So yeah, just grab a hotel for a few nights while you check some places out.

re: community

It is pretty big, I think maybe 15 total people? not all of them are 2+2 or post a lot I guess?

I have a 2+2 roommate, theguru

I'm back in States now for a wedding, I still miss USA. please make this game legal. (hopefully doesn't come off as knock on Playa)

JB,
If you haven't gotten Party by 10/18, I can hook it up

Recommendation for a place to stay for a few nights while I search for a medium length lease?

Anybody happen to know of or can check for vacancies in their building for a week or so starting on the 5th of Nov?

Cheap places....broke as **** at the moment.

Ponder · 10-17-2011, 06:39 PM

just bought my ticket for next week for a scouting trip. If anyone has any recommendations in so far as realtors or areas to look at for long term housing would be grateful.

noseeds99 · 10-17-2011, 10:38 PM

I stayed at Hotel Coco Rio while I was searching. It was fine. $50/night but may be more now with busier travel season.

As far as where to live, just have whatever rental agent you use show you many different options. Like bumpking said earlier, it just depends on if you value living on beach, living near nightlife etc

bumpking · 10-18-2011, 08:20 PM

I'd still like to try and get most of us that are down here together just so we can meet up and hopefully get a community started.

I'm wide open this week and weekend. Maybe Friday night for beers since there's not much grinding going on and the town will be a bit busier? Plus, all this rain is supposed to end tomorrow I think!

WorldWideBet · 10-18-2011, 10:05 PM

Why is there not much grinding going on? Or are you specifically referring to no tournament series right now?

Oh, I just meant that Friday nights are a crappy time to grind. I would normally say let's meet on Sunday to watch some NFL, but that's prime grind time.

Makes much more sense
