How do I find a place to live in Punta del Este?

"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Punta del Este is to search online for rental listings. There are many websites that offer listings for apartments, houses, and other types of accommodation in the area. Additionally, you can also search for local real estate agents who specialize in the area and can help you find the perfect place to live. Additionally, you can also ask friends and family who have visited or lived in Punta del Este for recommendations," said one person in Punta del Este.
"We searched Punta del Este from one side to the other. We decided that we wanted to live in Punta for 6 months a year or longer and that meant a house versus an apartment since many of the apartment buildings are unoccupied 8 months of the year. We also decided that we would build a house as opposed to finding one. We wanted bigger rooms, more bathrooms and fewer bedrooms than is conventional. The difference being that we were not looking to rent the house," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Punta del Este.
