Short-term rentals (STRs), referred to locally as "alquileres a corto plazo," are legal in Culebra Municipality, Puerto Rico, with increasing calls for regulation due to their impact on housing availability and affordability within local communities. The market includes a diverse range of properties, particularly thriving in natural settings with beachfront access and rural cabins, catering primarily to tourists attracted to Culebra's scenic beauty, though there is some appeal for business travelers as well. The influx of STRs, fueled by hurricanes and the pandemic, has significantly increased the rental stock—over 25,000 statewide as of 2023—leading to concerns about gentrification and housing displacement. The Puerto Rico Tourism Company oversees the regulatory framework governing these rentals, urging owners to register and adhere to local business regulations.
