My husband and I are newly retired. We are interested in renting in Mexico for 3-4 months in the winter. We are open to trying different areas. Do we need a different real estate agent for each area? We would like within walking distance to the beach and a good gym. Just starting this search so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Check out airbnb and vrbo

Here's a couple of FB sites; Friends Riviera Nayarit, On the road in Mexico, Travel buddies on the road in Mexico,

We used vrbo. You can usually get a good rate for long term rentals.

Roughly what do you pay per month?

We had a large rental for 2 family’s right on the beach just outside of cancun. It had a gym right on property. We paid $4000 month.

Join two Facebook pages for Puerto Vallarta, one is called PV Snowbird rentals, and the other is Puerto Vallarta: Everything you want to know.( something like that)

Great information on those pages

Cabo is one of the safest places in Mexico. Have talked to people who have rented for $2000 a month on vrbo

We would highly recommend Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca. We have spent multiple years there on extended stays. Easy access on direct flights from Calgary to Huatulco. No large all-inclusive hotels, has a Chedraui grocery store, restaurants, great beaches. We walk everywhere and feel safe.

Oh, and there is a great small group gym right near where we stay. And a last minute cancellation in January for rental in the six-plex that we stay...

Do you have a link Neill?

Casa de los Angeles Boutique

She has it listed with booking, and either vrbo or airbnb, I can't remember which.

If you're comfortable in booking directly, we (as would our friends that have stayed there) would absolutely vouch that Claudia is a great host, and she will honour reservations made that way as well. PM me if you would like her contact.

Casa de los Angeles boutique - Apartments for Rent in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico

Update: Jan 10-20 available. One bedroom second floor with private balcony. $MXN12500 per week. (Around $840-850 CAD at current exchange)

Flamingos in Nuevo Vallarta is great. Gym on site and on the beach. VBRO has listings for them.

Check out Home and Away. Lots of success there

the bucerias area is popular

Great idea.

For sure check out the Lake Chapala area, 45 minutes from Guadalajara. Has one of the largest expat populations in the world, including thousands of Canadians and Americans. We lived there for a couple of years after we retired and the year round weather is almost perfect. Good luck!

We have some friends that have wintered in Tlaquepaque. A couple blocks to the zocalo for the market, entertainment & restaurants. It’s a great spot.
Also lots of expats in San Miguel

Thank you everyone!!!

My niece has a beautiful place in Rincon de Guayabitos . Let me know if you are interested

San Pancho. It is close to Sayulita. Fly into Puerto Vallarta.

You could live like royalty in Thailand for under 800 a month including food and entertainment...

where?

Feather from the hill of northern Thailand in chiang mai to the beaches of hua hin, Phuket, railay , jomtein...isan is cheap but no beach...the options are endless.

Ed Kalthoff, formerly from Calgary. He and his wife have lived in San Jose del Cabo for many years.
He would be a good one to question.
We rented a condo at El Zacate, beach front, pool, easy access to downtown, spot to park a car. I recommend. Lots to choose from

Mazatlan Vacation Rentals, Mazatlan Snowbird Rentals/HouseSitMexico if you’re interested in the area. Occasionally agents’ names pop up to contact.

Mazatlan is wonderful - a working city - but lots of tourist things to do as well. Great restaurants and very inexpensive. Enjoy.

My dad has a place for rent message me if you want more info

Kim Peto is the owner of Casa Kimberley in Rincon de Guayabitos and she may be able to help you for next year. We are going to be staying there for a month this winter (our first time there). She is on Facebook if you are interested

La Manzanilla.....google it...lots of little appartments in a small beach town with a gym. Beautiful and quiet.

Safest place is the Mayan Rivera, I fully recomend Merida, Yucatan. The city is inland but...is beautiful surrounded by Mayan ruins and cenotes, ocean is 30-45 min. From the city. Check trip advisor. Mazatlan/Cabos weather is cool at night and ocean water is not that warm (ocean and Winter weather better temperatures from Nayarit down south
), safety wise Mazatlan not that safe. Good luck in your search. Enjoy my country

Contact Debra Curry in Puerto Escondido

La Manzanilla is so beautiful and a gorgeous smaller town. Close enough to Barra de Navidad and Melaque for day trips/cruising the area though

Manzanillo is wonderful!

There's a page here on FB that you might be interested ... I think it's called international living

Barb Hughes good to know - thx

My Mom and Dad have owned a large two story condo in Manzanillo (just outside actually, in Santiago) for about 6 years now, they love it there! They feel very safe. There are many ex-pat friends they have made down there. They are actually down there right now
When we were there, we purchased short term gym memberships for my husband and my boys (hockey players) at Gold's Gym in Manzanillo, it was really nice with a pool as well. There are many wonderful restaurants to try out and places nearby to explore
Best of luck in finding your special place in Mexico!

Puerto escondido! Safe. Don’t need a car. Walk everywhere or taxi is a couple bucks. Great gym run by a young guy from San Diego plus excellent yoga and Pilates classes. He runs various classes out of the gym
Mike's Fitness. And it never rain. Like never. And direct flight from Calgary to Hualtulco then 1.5 hr bus ride from hualtulco. Contact me if you want more info. Main draw for us - less tourists more local culture. Like the Mayan 30 yrs ago. It’s quaint but still lots to do.

Presently sitting on the balcony of a lovely condo at Club la Costa in San Jose del Cabos, on a golf course, that we found on vrbo. We are here for 5 months and have found mostly Canadians in this gated community which is a 5 minute walk to a great gym and a 10 minute walk to the beach. We are able to walk for groceries and for a larger run take a taxi back for $7.00. Buses run for 25 pesos for a couple all around San Jose. For a little more you can catch a bus to Cabos san Lucas and enjoy touring around there. Wishing you all the best.

Thank you!

Thank you everyone for all your responses. We truly appreciate your help.
