if, as you said, you are not looking to rent that much then by all means ask top dollar. just make sure you are advertising to the right crowd. i am def not your target customer. lol but there are a lot of people out there that would not even blink at spending 400/night for a nice 2 bed / 2 bath unit in that location.
I'm seeing $7184 USD for Jan 3-31st
not all rentals offer monthly rates. many do but many dont. so if a place is 2000/wk, some will offer a month for 4000 to 5000. but if they dont offer special rates for lenghtly stays, then it would be 2000/wk x 4. keep in mind also, that if you do find monthly rates from short term rentals, often times they will ask you to pay extras like utilities or maid service ect.
I decided to offer a monthly rate of $6000 as a direct deal with no fees or commissions. For January although I think I have a booking that leaves Jan 2 or something like that. If it’s for scuba divers I don’t mind coming down a bit in price because the right clientele means a lot to me and I could use a longer booking right now as these renos have cost me a fortune. The place is basically brand new and it has daily maid service so 6 grand I think is a super deal. I figured I’d probably get someone to take it Jan, feb March! I’m not giving up all 3 months because I'm from Canada and really need at least a month out of this cold now. Been dining the long winters my whole life and no more. It really is a great spot if you love scuba like I do. A little story. Last time we were down there there were baby Lemon sharks (I think they were lemons) hunting 2 metres off the shore and you could see their dorsal fins while having morning coffee. There were stingrays too that close to shore.
Originally I was just not going to rent at all. Then I changed my mind and decided I'll rent sometimes but hoping to get a good clientele. Really don't like idea of random people. People who have the money I don't think care that much about a few bucks more. I was thinking this scuba board might be a good place to find customers because I know scuba divers would get the most out of this rental.
Hi, I replied to this but it the wrong spot. I offered you $6000 as a special deal wit no fees or commissions.
You can tip the maids and they will do your laundry. We have a washer and dryer building on site.
hi sorry for late reply I did not have notifications set up properly. I am representing several of the apartments in akumal now and can work out a good price for a monthly rental for you if you want. Here are my properties. I am the president of the building now and my email is scuba@lolkanaab.com
