Hi All
Thanks so much to everyone who helped me out in finding a place. I'm all set and will be arriving on Nov 24. Hopefully I'll be able to hook up with some of you for a drink or coffee or something. Of course, that's after a nice long siesta once I get settled in. I'm exhausted trying to get ready for the move. Who knew all the things that come up when moving out of the country.
For those looking for a place here is info on places I was interested that I believe are still available. I got a great offer from someone for a nice place in Placencia; I liked all of these just happened to work out for this place.
Moderator - I'm not posting ads simply referring people to places I had looked at in hopes it might help them which I believe is the idea of the Forum here. Thanks in advance for leaving the info online so others may benefit.
Corozal Town

1 bedroom and/or Studio - both are very nice. Decorated and furnished well. He is willing to negotiate the rate on either for stays of a month or more. The link below is his listing for his stand alone Cabana. He also has another place on the property. A really nice fellow and very helpful in answering questions and such.
https://www.flipkey.com/corozal-town-ca … 6/?m=24873 - Disregard the nightly rates. Scroll down to just below the Calendar section and click Show Rate Details and you'll see the weekly and monthly rates, which drop quite a bit. These are starting #s and he's willing to negotiate for longer stays. Also, scroll to his picture and below that click Show More to see his other places. Disregard what the calendar says. Seems people don't update their calendars a lot on FlipKey.com

NEW 1 Bedroom downstairs right on the water. This was available as of yesterday. 500 sq ft right next to the Almond Tree Resort. The live above 6 months of the year. The rest of the time they leave it vacant. Really well built place made to stand up (and stay dry) during the heavy rains and/or hurricanes. I had long emails and also spoke to them at length on the phone. They weren't sure if the place would be available until Nov 4th and I didn't want to wait that long to get a place. Super nice and very, very helpful. They are not listed anyplace. they replied directly to a post I had put up. You can see there place at . While they only want long term rentals ($500 + partial utilities - they will explain). Since it's not listed you need to contact them directly and they will send pictures. They arrived in Belize last week and I have their local phone number to call if you need it.

They have an incredible 2 bedroom that I was going to rent but, it wasn't available early enough. The do have it opening up in March, I believe. He's an expat from US and had a lot of great info to help with my move. I'd definitely get hold of him and try for this place though it's $725 a month.
Placencia

http://www.oneworldplacencia.com/ - She had a place available that looked pretty nice and she is a real super lady who went out of her way to give me special rates I could afford even though she only had the one opening. I didn't see her email in time so took the other place. She's an expat from Germany and known throughout the community.
I think that's all I have right now and I hope this helps someone find a place. I'm happy to send you telephone numbers, email addresses and such if you want it. You MUST have Private Messaging ENABLED in your Preferences for me to do so.
See you all in 2 weeks! Assuming I ever get all the things on my To Do list done in time to get on the plane!
Cheers!
