For owners renting long-term, and for owners who simply want their beachfront or jungle home cared for while they're away. Bill pay, maintenance, inspections, and tenants — handled by a local team.
Local Akumal team · Response within 24 hours.
Property management in Akumal at PlayaStays isn't about nightly bookings. It's for absentee owners — many of whom are abroad most of the year — who want their beachfront or jungle home properly looked after, plus owners running long-term residential leases in the Chemuyil-fringe and South Akumal pockets.
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 Akumal that means salt-air protection on Half Moon Bay, jungle-edge humidity in the inland pockets, and on-call vendors for sargassum, palapas, and pool equipment.
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 Akumal Bay and Half Moon Bay owners abroad most of the year.
02We screen tenants, draft the lease, collect rent, and run the residential side end to end. Long-term demand here is smaller than Playa or Tulum but real — Chemuyil-town-fringe and South Akumal place tenants to people working in the resort and dive industries.
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 in Akumal and 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.
We manage properties across Akumal Bay, Half Moon Bay, and the inland pockets. Pick your area for management tuned to its HOA rules, vendors, and access.

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.
