I agree with Jim, above. In places like Coronado, where there are typially plenty of options, I will sometimes book myself into an Airbnb for a few days and then go to see longer-term options in person, tapping the expat facebook groups for recommendations as Jim mentions above.

Loads more great informaion fond in the Escape to Portugal guidebook.

THANKS for the info. ~ Pamela

One thing to add to the previous answer that my wife and I discovered the hard way when we first moved to Ecuador. Plumbed gas lines deliver at a higher pressure in Ecuador than in the US, so if you have a gas appliance made in the US make sure a qualified tech installs it and adds an adaptor to correct the pressure. We allowed one of the guardians in our building to do the installation, and we melted some polyester clothing in the first load!

susan's ideas for what to do with your home if you move pt to to Europe are great answers and I thought I would add one other thing. Don't get rid of your home in the US. Banks, Investment companys and brokerage houses all require a US physical address to continue allowing you to use thier services, so hang on to the property!
