Temporary rentals

[BILL STARK]

What is average rental price for furnished apt/house for a one month stay in Quito or Cuenca?

[SUZAN HASKINS]

Bill, you can find temporary rentals at http://www.vrbo.com — and You’ll find properties both rentals and properties for sale at viviun.com or quito.en.craigslist.org. Some real estate agents will also have listings. Price will depend on location, size, amenities, etc.

Suzan, we are thinking of visiting Ecuador (with the intention of possible retirement relocation) and would like to find a beachfront condo for rent for 7-10 days so that we might experience first hand what the weather, culture, accomodations and day to day living challenges will be like. We think the North Coast area is where we would like to start. Any recommendations or suggestions to help us get started?

Richard, your only choices along the north coast (from my perspective and opinion only) would be Jama Campay, Coco Beach, the town of Canoa or the town of Bahia de Caraquez. In the itineraries in the Travel Section, you’ll find some contacts. And do check vrbo.com and viviun.com and http://quito.en.craigslist.org. You may just want to rent a house at Jama Campay for a couple of nights, then stay in Canoa and couple of nights and then Bahia. I’m sure Francisco at Jama Campay can help you — he might even have a chill weekend that would be a great introduction to this area. Email him (Francisco del Castillo) at franciscodelcastillo@constructoradelcastillo.com. Tell him you’re an IL reader — he’s a fantastic young man and very helpful. HIs family is behind Jama Campay but he gives a good overview of the entire area and is not a hard-sale guy.

http://www.airbnb.com is very good too, and has quite a few listings at least in Cuenca.
