Me and my husband have been quite the lurkers on this site since it's inception. I do regret us not signing up earlier and posting comments to the board.
I sure hope you all will welcome me, my husband and two boys with open arms. Normally my husband handles all this internet forum stuff but he's been working soooo many hours lately and asked me to step up to the PP plate.
We are coming down and staying for the entire month of June of this year. We are not looking to do the Sandy Beach condominium experience as it's too expensive and over-rated. We are however looking for a place to rent for the month of June. Our needs are basic, an apartment/house with two beds, TV, satellite, A/C, shower, full kitchen and secure parking. Also will need internet access. Simple I know, but we don't screw around when it comes to having fun with the family. We are even open to renting a LARGE travel trailer if needed.
I know June is a bit of a ways out, but should you have, or think you will have a place for us, please let me know.
Take care all!!
And in hindsight, thank you all for very imformative posts, we have learned a lot.
Hi Rebecca
Welcome to you and family. We stay in Plya De Oro and go down a couple of times a month in space 230. we generaly go down on Friday and stay until Mon or Tues. When you get down drop by and have a beer or two. Lots to do down there.

Hi, I just wanted to say welcome also. Lots of rentals available and prices are much lower than they have been in quite awhile. Let me know if I can help with anything.
Hi, Rebecca, If you don't mind being a 15 minute walk to the beach, I have friends with a nice condo in the Mirador. They won't be here in June, I don't know if they're interested in renting or not. Only thing missing from your list is TV and satellite. They say a book or a game are lovely substitutes!

Mr. Spinner, don't think for a second we will not be be visiting you when down, granted we found a place.
Thank you Seadweller for the post and welcome. I did visit the link you provided but I have to be honest, there was no pricing structure. Don't get me wrong, we are not looking to necessarily do it on the ultra cheap, but I do have to know what to expect. Rebecca

Thank you Jim for the welcome. You mentioned about possibly being of help, would appreciate anything you could recommend.

We wouldn't mind a 15 minute walk, that would be site seeing for us. Could you tell me more about your friends condo in Mirador, granted they would be interested. Pm if needed. Rebecca
I just contacted them and will let you know the outcome. It's a nice place, three bedrooms two baths. If they're interested I'll contact you privately and get you talking directly to them.
Thank you all for the warm welcome. We still are looking for a place and not wanting to spend $100 plus per night. Again, we could be very happy in a fifth wheel or something. I'm not trying to lower the standards here but we would like to have money left over for cerveza and tacos..lol
Thanks again for welcoming us, without too many cheap shots.
Hi- My friends said they don't really want to rent. However, they know of another place: Casa de Escuela on Mirador beach for $600 a week. (maybe you could negotiate lower for a month). They say:
The place is owned by a couple from Vancouver, but as far as we can tell, it's managed by a guy named Steve Utter - Beach Dream LLC - 480 636 0675 - or - 1 866 798 2120. It has a tiny living room/dining room with a fireplace, a compact kitchen, plenty of closet space and master bedroom with a king-size bed and second bedroom with a bunk bed. There's another bedroom off the courtyard with a queen size bed and 3 piece bath. The garage is handy 'cause you can secure your vehicle. There's a TV - not sure about satellite.:-)
I'll keep my ears open, see if there's any place else for a better price!
