Hi, I'm Chris — founder of PlayaStays.
I've owned and operated rental property across multiple markets — long-term leases, short-term guests, hybrid use. I've run all three models personally and learned what actually protects an asset versus what just looks good on a contract. PlayaStays is built on the operating standards I'd want for my own property in Quintana Roo. If you own here, I'd like to talk.
