Good morning! So after 10 years and a couple of quick visits, we may FINALLY be making the move to STX for a 5 month period,which I am counting as an extended real PMV and not just a fun-time vacation as I MAY have obtained a 5 month contract to work on the westend of the island. Here's the rub. After the job offer is submitted the clock starts ticking and I have 30 days to start my new job. That means that I have to secure furnished housing that will accomadate myself, my hubby and 2 small weiner dogs, that will be close to my place of employment, sooner rather than later. In addition, I do not want to ship my van right now, as I'm trying to expidite this move on a budget but will need a vehicle as soon as we arrive. I have been a member of this board for many years now and hope someone here has any leads or suggestions as I feverosly work to get everything in place. Thanks so much!
Theresa

and yes, I have checked craigslist (frequently) and have emailed a couple of posters, but I don't feel comfortable sending money to secure an apartment to a random craigslist poster without verification (scams abound) and island time response has resulted in no responses.

My sister and I are renting a very nice house in strawberry hill. There is an extra bedroom and a bonus room. Pet friendly. You could land here until you find permanent housing. Let me know if you are interested. We are mud-island.

Hi Theresa, I don't recall getting an inquiry from you, but if I did, and did not respond, I apologize. I'm usually pretty good about that, even if I don't have anything. Quite often inquiries go to junk mail. I check mine daily, but perhaps some people don't.:)

I DID get an inquiry from someone with two dashounds, but it was a different name....and I answered it...

Anyway....I have openings, if you are still thinking of moving down. Please PM me with arrival and what size apartment you would need. I'll get back to you quickly.

Thanks,
