Hi Raymond,

Are you looking for the north/central/south Pacific coast? Have you tried any FB pages?

Does anyone here have a rental in Costa Rica they went to share on this thread here in CR?

Hi Brian,

For info on brokers who manage luxury rentals you can get in touch with Pangea, the IL preferred real estate advertising partner, email: info@pangearesearchgroup.com.

You can also find a wide range of rentals in the different regions of Panama on sites like www.tripadvisor.com, www.vrbo.com, www.viviun.com, www.encuentra24.com, www.compreoalquile.com or www.airbnb.com (many of the better-priced listings will be in Spanish).

Many expats also list great options on expat Facebook pages.

If you find a long-term rental that you like, don’t be afraid to ask if the owner will rent to you for a shorter term, and vice-versa.

If you're planning on renting in a specific town for 1-2 months, I highly recommend booking something with great reviews for your first few days and then going to see places in person before committing to a month or more in one apartment or house.

Have a great stay.

Best,

IL Panama Editor Jess Ramesch

Thank you for your report. I'm still reading it, but wanted to let you know that I'm enjoying it. I visited Costa Rica (solo) in 2011, but didn't see much in my opinion. I plan to go back next April.

Hi Trisha, that is a great question. First i would say yu need to go there and see the possible apartments. Second, go to: www.immobiliare.it, or to www.gate-away.com, or to www.idealista.com. Switch to English and look in that area. Each platform will have a place for you to put in Rent or Buy and to use English. You will still need to go there as to rent you will need a Codice Fiscale unless you are doing a short stay rental. If you want something longer than three months you will need a visa. If I can help further, please email me at info@thelaughingretirement.com. Remember RE agents here don't represent you or the seller the represent themselves and thier agency. Let me know how you progress and I will giveyou what help I can. But again, I would say the best thing to do is to travel there and see for yourself. Chip Stites, IL Italy Correnspondent.
