What you need to know if you’re planning to stay for a month or more.
Puerto Vallarta isn’t just a vacation hotspot—it’s also a thriving hub for digital nomads, remote workers, snowbirds, and retirees. Whether you’re planning a winter escape, a work-from-Mexico experiment, or even considering a relocation, long-term rentals are a flexible and affordable way to experience life in PV like a local.
But navigating long-term stays in a tourist-driven market can be tricky. Here’s what you need to know before booking your extended rental in Puerto Vallarta.
1. Understand What “Long-Term” Means in PV
In Puerto Vallarta, “long-term rental” usually refers to stays of one month or more. The pricing structure is different from nightly vacation rentals, and you can often secure a significant discount for monthly bookings—especially during low season (May through October).
PVRPV offers a curated selection of long-term-friendly properties with all the amenities you need for extended comfort.
2. Choose the Right Neighborhood for Your Lifestyle
For long stays, location is everything. Some of the most popular areas for long-term renters include:
- Zona Romántica: Walkable, lively, and full of cafés, gyms, and grocery options.
Versalles: Affordable, local, and growing fast as a digital nomad favorite.
5 de Diciembre: Great ocean views, local flavor, and easy access to Centro. - Marina Vallarta: Quiet, modern, and close to the airport.
Each area has pros and cons—talk to a local agent at PVRPV for tailored advice based on your daily needs.
3. Ask the Right Questions Before You Book
Not all properties are set up for long stays. Be sure to ask:
- Is Wi-Fi speed suitable for remote work or streaming?
- Are utilities (electricity, gas, water, internet) included in the rate?
- What’s the furniture and kitchen setup like for daily living?
- Is there laundry access in-unit or in the building?
- What are the guest policies and HOA rules for visitors?
At PVRPV, we make these details clear so you can move in worry-free.
4. Know When and How to Book
Puerto Vallarta’s high season runs from November through April, so long-term rentals in those months are in high demand. Booking at least 1 year to 18 months in advance is ideal.
If you’re flexible, consider arriving during the shoulder season (May or October) when prices drop and availability is higher. PVRPV offers transparent pricing, online booking, and bilingual support for long-term stays.
5. Enjoy the Perks of Long-Term Living in PV
With a long-term rental, you can settle into a rhythm, discover your favorite taco stand, explore less touristy beaches, and truly live like a local. Many renters end up staying longer—or coming back year after year.
Plus, PVRPV’s property management team ensures that your rental is always clean, functional, and ready for extended comfort.
