I liked the most:

This is actually a bungalow on the isann lodge resort. Beautifull resort with great reviews.
They rent out some of thier bungalows a long term basis. So living the whole year like on vacation. I like that.
Now I send them an email to get more info and deal with them directly. I will certainly stay there.

Only negative side: It is 6,7 km from the night market and the last 700 meters are small dirt roads without any light
On google earth I have look at the roads and they were wet, muddy and dirty. I don't know how this will be in the rainy season? Not a good idea taking this bungalow?

In the time I have been in Cambodia (jun 2016) the roads were dusty but not muddy. And after a shower it dried up quite fast.

What are your thoughts? Bad idea staying there a whole year?

I understand you are trying to be as prepared as possible but if I was you I would wait until I get here to arrange rent. Just book into a hotel for a week or two, figure out where you want to live and go from there. There will be plenty of places at that time of year and it is hard to choose a place to live when you are not in the country, cannot see the area, don't know how reliable the pictures are etc. Your girlfriend may also get a better price than you if there in person (avoiding the agents fees)

Dirt roads will be very muddy at certain times of the year. It does generally dry fast but the days it is raining non-stop and or the road is under shade of the tree it will not be drying very quickly.

General recommendation on accommodation in Cambodia is to get a short-term hotel room for when you arrive, and then go have a look at the real life situation. Things change fast, may not be what they seem online. Check it out IRL before you commit to anything.
I would also wait and see about your plans to move to SHV. Just read some of the Chinese/SHV threads. A heads up - it is becoming difficult to find places to rent.

Thx all,

It was my plan, first to rent for a month and than longer. But I want to prepare. It makes no sense after arrival running around like a chicken without a head as we say in Dutch/Flemish.

For who is interested, i found the resort of the other houses as well.

Nice as well, but not so coasy as Isaan, but only 2,3 km from the Night market so a very good option as well. These houses in resort are a very good option. Normally 70-80$ per night, now 450 for a month! It seems that more resort and hotel owners make good offers for longer stay. So what I will do: Send email/inquiries to a number of nice resorts and boutique hotels to make me an offer for a month stay? Let's see what that brings.

i 2nd or 3rd,......book a gh for ur first few nights, than go around and look. Just cause it looks good online does not tell u much about what it is really like, how far it is, what the neighborhood is like, ( worst for me is a chicken or pig farm next door) , water pressure, owners??
etc etc.
as far as snv, good friend has had to move 2 x in past 3 months cause of the Chinese...

^This.

Check the local situation by yourself before committing, even for a month. Google Earth uses pretty old pictures, and like someone said above things change quickly. Just check yourself in a nice guesthouse for a week and reserve a few days for house hunting. Will give you a much higher chance of finding a nice house. You might also ask your GF to do some homework prior to your arrival. Not sure if it's a good idea to help her close a deal though. Don't know how long and how well you know her.

Do you really want to stay somewhere for a whole year without a kitchen? Even if you eat out a lot, it's nice to be able to throw some eggs and bacon in a pan after a heavy night out or make a meal and stay in when you're sick no?

Aha ok, ignore my comment, when I opened the link of the place you were interested in I didn't see there was a kitchen anywhere.
