RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES

VACATION RENTALS:
Only permitted in certain locations due to planning controls and community regulations designed to protect residential areas.

"SNOWBIRD" RENTALS:
Winter occupants from the northern US and Canada on a monthly basis primarily from January to April. Only 2 bedrooms are required in most cases.

INVESTMENT RENTALS:
Many residents rent their home because they move regularly for employment or family reasons. 12-month rentals are the norm for this type of purchase, so rather than having to find 26 2-week bookings per year, your rent is guaranteed from the moment the initial rental is made.

RANGE OF PROPERTIES

HOMES:
Detached homes from 3 to 5 beds, 2 or 3 baths with pool. Most of these homes can be found on gated communities, often with golf course and community clubhouse.

VILLAS:
Detached, semi-detached or townhouse homes usually with 2 beds, 2 baths plus den (available as 3 rd bed). Villa residencies normally include room for small pool but have access to communal pool. Maintenance is generally free.

APARTMENTS:
Usually 2 bed, 2 bath, either low or high rise buildings with communal pool. Maintenance is free. Apartments are preferable if requirement to be within walking distance of the beach.
