TL;DR
Look for 2-3 bedroom villas with A/C, hot water, kitchen and parking in Tangalle or Weligama/Mirissa/Ahangama; for high season (Dec-Jan) book well in advance since last-minute availability is limited.
For a three-month rental from October 1 in Ahangama, Kabalana, or Midigama, look for an entirely private villa with no other residents or guests on the property. Typical essentials include a living room, equipped kitchen, A/C, and washing machine; confirm the monthly rate in advance.
For a long-term two-bedroom villa in Talpe or Ahangama, an indicated target budget was about USD 150–200, with a September 5 move-in.
For a family villa in Weligama or nearby areas, seek at least three rooms, with a minimum of two bedrooms having A/C, double beds, and work desks. A spacious kitchen is a useful extra; ask for the exact location, price, and photos before booking.
For high season (Dec 20 - Jan 17), travelers look for a villa/apartment/guesthouse with 3 bedrooms, a kitchen and a swimming pool in the Weligama/Mirissa/Ahangama area — book these well ahead since it's peak season on the south coast.
A typical villa request in Tangalle: 2-3 rooms, A/C, hot water, clean bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, wifi, washing machine and parking; a BBQ grill is a nice bonus but not required.
A near-identical request was made just a day before check-in — needing a villa in Tangalle urgently with the same requirements (A/C, hot water, kitchen, wifi, parking), showing that even short-notice villa bookings in this area are possible if requirements stay flexible.
