TL;DR
In Nha Trang and Cam Ranh, travelers can avoid tourist markups by renting directly from owners through personal contacts or local “cho thue” rental listings. One reported owner had multiple villas in Cam Ranh plus apartments in Nha Trang.

The most recent tip was to skip standard tourist rentals, which often come with a markup. A cheaper option is to look for local “cho thue” signs with a phone number, which usually means direct rental from the owner.

A verified option mentioned was renting villas directly from an owner in Cam Ranh instead of going through an agent. The villas were described as very good, and the recommendation came from people who had actually lived there.

Another practical lead for Nha Trang was an owner with several properties: 4 villas in Cam Ranh and 4 apartments in Nha Trang. That is useful if you are deciding between a beach-area villa in Cam Ranh and a city apartment in Nha Trang.
