What's the best way to find a rental? I plan on moving back in about 4 months and I'm looking for something long term. I lived in Quepos before, and was renting through a longterm airbnb rental but that was years ago. Now the prices are through the roof. Some asking $1200 a month on airbnb and it's crazy. I'm looking for more of less the same amenities you have here. You've got a good place for the location and price!

Hi, It kinda depends on location. I was looking into Manuel area a couple years ago, prices were insane every avenue I looked. Hear that it's overrun these days and lost it charm. FB Marketplace is really good these days. 4 months and you will be landing at the beginning of high season...higher prices and less inventory. Air BnB works better during the off season to turn a short term into long. Market saturation with those types of rentals here now, so easier to find. Everybody and their brother has a cabina or 2 for rentals now. Hit a local FB group and just watch there too. I stay away from the big ones with too much activity. Hit me up if you have anymore questions...I usually stay around $800 a month regardless of where I live. Happy Travels 😊

👋 Hi nice house but who is Shadow??

[@LiveSlowDieWhenever]

My black dog I got in Chachagua....the crazy one 😉

$800 a month?!?! That's a $3-350 rental maximum and even then you are getting the gringo price .

[@LiveSlowDieWhenever]

Not here....throw in the add ons...we'll worth it. $350 gets you a tiny place in a loud barrio around here. Plus the peace of mind having a solid landlord down here is priceless as you well know. I don't have to hear any yappy Chihuahuas or roosters at 330 AM. 350 yards from the beach and less than a kilometer to 2 big grocery stores. Couldn't ask for much more...

$500 a month gets you a clean 2br Tico house with Tico furniture. $700 plus utilities for more elbow room. I'm 6'1 and cook all the time...really need my space.
