Types of Rentals
Beachfront Condos
Best for value and easy upkeep
The most common rental on the island — individually owned units inside condo buildings, often with shared pools and beach access. Sizes range from studios to multi-bedroom units, and rates vary widely depending on the building and floor.
Browse on VRBO →Private Villas
Best for groups wanting privacy
Standalone homes, usually on the north or south end of the island, with private pools and more outdoor space than a condo. A good fit for multi-family trips or anyone who wants their own beachfront rather than a shared building.
Browse on VRBO →In-Town Apartments
Best for budget and walkability
Simple studios and apartments in San Pedro town, a step up from a guesthouse without the price of a beachfront unit. Everything — restaurants, tours, the water taxi — is within walking distance.
Browse on VRBO →Secret Beach Rentals
Best for west-facing sunsets
A smaller, newer supply of condos and houses on the island's west side near Secret Beach. Fewer walkable amenities than San Pedro town, but the calm, current-free water and sunset views are the draw.

Tips for Booking
Book dry-season dates (December–April) several weeks ahead, especially around holidays — the best-located units go first.
Confirm whether a golf cart rental is included or arranged separately. Anything outside San Pedro town needs one.
Ask about backup power. Brief outages happen on the island, and not every building has a generator for common areas or AC.
Check whether pool and beach access are shared with the whole building or private to your unit — listing photos don't always make this clear.
Booking wet-season dates (June–November)? Look for flexible cancellation policies given the storm risk.
For north-island rentals reached only by boat, confirm the transfer arrangement and luggage limits before you book.
