Our goals is to share what we do best by bringing our experts forward to help with professional copywriting, stunning photography, accounting/tax advice, sales and marketing expertise, streamlined reservation mangement, exceptional guest service, and more.
We package all of this into our commission-based fee structure and don't set any restrictions on your own use of the property.

Each owner participating in the hospitality business in Mexico is required to charge sales tax on rentals and is subject to income tax in Mexico. This can feel like a complicated bridge to cross, especially for foreign owners, which is why we have developed a partership with a leading Accounting Firm in Mexico to help guide our Owner Partners through the process.
My Huatulco Vacation handles all sales tax processing on individual bookings and remits these taxes for owners operating under individual tax structures. Alternatively, our team has developed a fluid reporting process for owners operating under a corporate tax structure so your accounting team can easily track and manage bookings and payments for your business.
Our accounting partners are able to work with you to determine the tax structure that most appropriately suits your property goals. Whether operating under a Foreign Tax ID, Mexican ISR or as a Corporation, our accounting team will help you stay current with tax requirements while effectively managing your income goals.
Making sure you're where guests are looking is a top priority for us!
Our exclusive platform (ExploreHuatulco) is the most powerful tool we can offer our owners! With over 200,000 visitors per year to our website, we offer our Owner Partners the ability to showcase their properties in a very unique way. Offering a highly curated portfolio, exceptional experiences, and key industry partnerships, the My Huatulco Vacation brand has become synonymous with Short-Term/Vacation Rentals on the Oaxacan Coast. Each of our Owner Partners benefits from exclusive property advertising on our website, getting exposed to an otherwise unavailable market. This offers a huge advantage in capturing property reservations and nurturing repeat guests as 60% of our reservations take place directly through our platform.
In addition to our platform, we develop and manage listings for you on all major OTA platforms including Airbnb, HomeAway, VRBO, Booking.com, Expedia, Marriott Homes and Villas, Hotels.com, and more.
Your property will also be included in our ongoing marketing campaigns, social media efforts, email marketing and more.

Rental projection income
Working with our Owner Partners to set annual income targets is a key part of our success and ongoing owner retention.
We understand that a critical aspect of purchasing an investment property and/or second home is creating a financial plan that is reliable and works to serve the needs of you and your property. After almost 15 years in the Huatulco vacation rental business, we have a very clear understanding of what condos and villas earn based on the location, number of bedrooms, amenities and special attributes.
To create a reliable forecast, we leverage our internal data sets combined with market trends provided by Transparent Intelligence, inc. By cross-referencing MHV and market occupancy rates with recommended rental pricing structures, we can generate income expectations that will help guide you in your purchasing and/or rental management decisions.
Our financial forecasts are not only reliable but are something we strive to exceed and improve upon each year. Our revenue management team works closely with owners and reservationists to ensure you stay on track with where you need to be.
We encourage you to reach out to us so we can outline your earning potential!
