What's the best rental site?

I have a friend I'm trying to entice to Lakeside. Trying to find the best website of rental houses so she can get a taste of what's available.

How long a visit? For short term rentals (under 3 months) most are at Airbnb or VRBO. The ones listed with realtors are often 6 months (seasonal).

And individual realtor sites.

i found one on chapala.com - and found some other popular websites were really unresponsive - still waiting for a response from a very popular website with a question about a house - from several months ago. Received another response 1 month after question.

Bare in mind that info on websites is frequently out of date - so best correspond directly with someone handling rentals

I also prefer agencies to individuals - unless you can get references for the landlord. Finally did ask for landlord references and got the best rental ever!!

If on Facebook there are several sites. One is Lake Chapala Rentals by Owners.

Overwhelming, time-tested favorite for long term rentals: Access Lake Chapala. All listings are current. Best experience ever.

Thanks everyone...just trying to tempt her....she was thinking Portugal....... When you like your "stuff" Portugal is a heckofa long way!!

Plus they still have winter in Portugal. We were in Malaga, Spain one November. Froze our butts off other than the times we were each parked in front of  our own heaters. That was before we discovered the joys of inland Mexico.

Good to know. I think all it will take is for her to take a "look see". I was hooked the first time we drove through the "purple tunnel" twenty years ago.
