Short-term rentals (STRs), referred to locally as "hospedaje a corto plazo," are a legal business model in Guayanilla Municipality, Puerto Rico, regulated by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. The local government enforces specific regulations, including the need for property owners to register as innkeepers and obtain necessary permits. STRs in Guayanilla typically thrive in various property types, particularly in urban apartments and beach houses, appealing to both tourists and seasonal business travelers. The demand leans towards vacation rentals due to Guayanilla’s scenic location and cultural attractions, making it a vibrant destination primarily for tourism. However, compliance with existing regulations, including a 7% occupancy tax, is essential for operators. The Office of Management and Permits is the governmental authority overseeing these regulations.
