FOR RENT Sign Drive around! NOT

Island Paul · 2004-06-27T19:52:38Z

It was suggested to me when I was first looking for a place here on St.Thomas, and is often repeated - just get in your car and drive around looking for the FOR RENT signs , especially for places on the North side. Well - we tried that on Saturday - 4 hours of up down around, this curve, that nook and cranny. And unless this is the wrong time of year for success in the matter of finding a place - it is definately NOT the way I would suggest it be accomplished. Great tour of places I've not seen - new photos for my website (to be added today) - but in all we found only about 4 signs. 2 for a 2 bedroom, 2 for a Studio (both signs were most likely for the same place) and 1 for a 3 bedroom. There has got to be a better way to find a selection of places to rent - and please don't suggest the Island Trader - there is still a missing secret that is not being told OR a very pressing (????) need for another way for folks to find a place here. I get the feeling that most home/property owners are NOT into a listing service type thing? Hmmmm, another island thing? Or a very real shortage of housing - even in low season?

You got to stop being picky. Teresa I know of your exceptions, but maybe you can grab one of them and then when the right one comes along move there, don't unpack! Most of those guys don't sign leases.
