Default lots of choices

couldn't tell from your post if you're an owner looking to rent, or a renter looking for websites to choose from. Many of us who have rented our units do it independently on websites like thevillages4rent.com, vacationrentals.com, ****.com and a few others. Most of us have caretakers/cleaning services who meet the tenants with keys and are there for any problems that might come up (e.g., a/c goes out, can't figure out how to operate something, etc.). More lucrative I think that using a management company, but also more work.

I have heard good things on here about J.D. Management Co. if you're an owner who doesn't want to deal with all the inquiries, and any other issues that come up. I think some of the outside real estate agencies also have rental management divisions, such as ReMax and Realty Executives. They also of course have listings to choose from if you're renting.
