An island market with its own ferry logistics, vendor network, and seasonal cadence. We manage Cozumel properties for owners renting long-term and for absentee owners who simply want their home cared for between visits.
Local Cozumel team · Response within 24 hours.
Property management in Cozumel at PlayaStays isn't about nightly bookings. It's for absentee owners — many US and Canadian — who want disciplined caretaking between visits, and for owners running long-term residential leases in the residential fracciones north of San Miguel.
Tenant screening, lease drafting, rent collection, and residential operations for owners renting on 6+ month terms — including hybrid portfolios where some units run long and some run short.
10% of monthly rent · plus Property Care
Away most of the year? We pay the bills, run regular maintenance checks, manage vendors, and send condition reports — so an empty property never becomes a quiet problem.
$125 / month Property CareRenting nightly instead? You probably want vacation rental management or Airbnb management — same local team, different playbook.
The $125/month Property Care base sits under both long-term management and caretaking. In Cozumel that means tight salt-air protocols on the hotelera coast, ferry-dependent vendor scheduling, and disciplined inspections through the hurricane corridor.
HOA dues, utilities, and recurring accounts paid on time so nothing lapses while you're away.
Scheduled upkeep tuned for salt air and humidity — AC servicing, filters, and small fixes before they compound.
Regular walk-throughs with photos, so you always know the real condition of your property.
Vetted local technicians scheduled, supervised, and documented — every decision logged.
Basic consumables kept stocked and AC filters replaced on cadence as part of the base fee.
Documented monthly summaries with photos and costs — radical transparency, by default.

01That's Property Care on its own — no rentals involved. We pay your bills, inspect on a set cadence, handle maintenance and vendors, and send you photo condition reports. Common for US and Canadian owners who fly down a few weeks a year.
02We screen tenants, draft the lease, collect rent, and run the residential side end to end. Long-term demand on Cozumel concentrates in the residential fracciones north of San Miguel — dive-industry staff, hotel workers, and remote workers who want island life year-round.
A simple onboarding — most owners are set up within two weeks.
We learn your goals — rent it, keep it cared for, or both.
An on-site walk-through and condition baseline with photos.
We set the maintenance cadence, or screen and place a long-term tenant.
Documented updates, bills handled, income or condition reported every month.
Property Care is the Promise in practice — the four operating standards behind every property we manage on Cozumel and across the Riviera Maya.
The day-to-day that keeps your asset functioning in a coastal climate — preventive maintenance, vetted vendors, and decisions documented with photos and cost.
Regular inspections and a preventive cadence built for salt, humidity, and storm season — catching small issues before they become expensive ones.
For owners renting long-term: screening, lease drafting, rent collection, and renewals — the people side, handled accountably.
Full Quintana Roo compliance plus transparent monthly reporting you can actually understand — never a property you’re guessing about.

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.
Whether you're renting it long-term or just want it cared for — free consultation, no commitment, response within 24 hours.
