    Safest way to rent condo directly from owner

    I am with Seaside. What I do is I charge all the fees and the regular rate but give one night free. That makes my 1 bedroom at Bella be competitive. Plus they pay Seaside and if there is a problem there is someone there to take care of it. Las Palomas would not let me do that but I am not...

    Anyone building anything new?

    Many years ago when all of us were buying condo down there and things started to go south, I went to a couple of meetings in PHX and Penasco. Some buyers had retained attorneys to see if they could recover anything. I could not believe how many condo some people had purchased. There are...

    Anyone building anything new?

    Is this true? Last time we were down, we heard that even if there is the money to finish a unfinished project or house, that it can't be completed. Because it has been exposed to the elements too long, it would have to be torn down and started all over. We have a house at the Villages that...

    La Bella Vita getting a new name and a new "Inn"

    I looked at their website. They seem to be selling units. Didn't they have a place in San Carlos? With so many unfinished place in Penasco, I would be fearful of buying anything that wasn't in a finished resort. Look at Diamond Village. We knew someone from Las Palomas that bought there. I...

    Dog care

    Any condo owners here?

    I have owned rental in Penasco since Spa. I never rented under the table. Sure I had things broken or turn up missing but each of my property manager handled it just fine. I did have 2 units at LP but I think they were a problem because it was such a large complex. I still have friends...

    Any condo owners here?

    I have owned 4 units down there. Sonoran was easy. LP hard and Bella easy. If you aren't going to use it a lot, just rent. There is a lot of paper work and other things. I like having my own stuff and be able to take my dog. But Jack and I are getting older and the up keep is too much...

    Pet groomer recommendations

    I like Dr Chuy Chuy and so does the dog. He monitors Dave's Chlorestrol. He also cleaned his teeth. The clue was Dave was not afraid to go there again.

    Shrimp Buying

    We need to go down after the first of year and pick up our resident cards. I will go to LEYS. My family loves the shrimp we buy at Sea or whatever it called. The flounder is wonderful. Last time we spent almost $300 but it is sooo much better than what I get locally,

    Shrimp Buying

    I always buy my flounder and shrimp at Pacifico and I used to buy tilapia at Walmart. The last 2 time Walmart didn't have any. Is there a season for it? I can't buy it here because it is all farm raised in Indochina and they won't eat it.

    IRS Seizing Passports soon

    I do not know if it was management. Too many people had access to those units. I was told it was employees that had keys and knew the schedule. But everyone denied it so I got out. Of all the different places I have had, I have never seen those problems at any other developments. Just...

    Animal Certificates of Health at Border

    I carry all my dog's papers every time and no one has every asked for them, even when we were stopped at immigration for a 1/2 hr. But I am not going to forget them. It is too far back to Green Valley.
