I have checked out Enquentra24 and what other web sites I could find showing Nica rentals and found their listings limited and not always that cheap and are oft times outdated or temps. Especially anything near the beach. I know there are several realtors down there but is that the best way to find a house. In the US, I have sometimes found houses by just driving around. Is this a viable method down there? I plan on checking out some of these options on my exploratory trip this summer but will have limited time and funds to explore the country. I am flexible about location but am looking for mostly country and reasonable driving proximity to the ocean. Although I may or may not be able to afford a vehicle. I am not going to have as much moving $ as I thought I would. Cost of get some cash out on my retirement would be rediculously expensive with the govt. taking 20% of the top, if you can believe that!
