kunash Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 i have looked on various expat sites for hua hin and google, to search for houses to rent, but have at most seen about 6 to rent. i am currently in surin, and there is practically no house rental market here. nothing nice at all to rent. is there a good rental market for houses in hua hin? and if so does anyone know a good website for house rental ( not appt, townhouse, condo etc )? please 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barker Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 We have a couple of houses in Hua Hin and find www.2nd-home.com to be as reliable as any in town, contact Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhfarang Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 There are lots of houses for rent in Hua Hin and as the above poster said 2nd-home realty is one of the most trustworthy ones in town to work with. A lot of rental owners just put out a sign and you have to drive around to find the house and deal you like. We did this a couple of Sunday's ago as we may be moving soon and found a suitable house in about two hours but they were not advertised on the web, just had a sign out front.

justwilliam Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 When my wife and I were looking for a house to rent in Hua Hin, we initially tried the web, and then the agents. In our experience, without exception, the places advertised on the web were very over-priced, at least 2 times the going rate. The places we were shown by agents were not very different, maybe 50-100% over-priced. In the end we did what everyone recommends, and drove up and down the streets looking for "house to rent" signs. In this way we found a very nice house, 3 beds, 4 bath, quiet, clean neighborhood, 3 minutes walk from the beach, for Baht 12,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blyish Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 You might be able to find something through agents if you go in with a specific number in mind. Tell them you need something under 15,000 (for example) and give them a list of things the house must have (washing machine, full furniture, easy walk to markets, etc.). Don't budge. You'd be surprised at the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
