Managing a vacation rental is a complicated job but we promise we'll make it feel easy! We remove the stress of promoting your property online, managing calendars on multiple booking sites, fielding late-night guest calls and handling on-site guest concerns.
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.
Established in Huatulco in 2008, we are experts in our field that understand all required details to support your success as an owner. Our impecable guest reviews and repeat guest rate work to support the longterm financial interests for your property.
The first step is to connect with us to determine whether your property is a good fit for our program and to review property management options and requirements. If you decide to join our program, you will be required to sign our listing agreement. We will also require tax identification details to get you set up in our system (we can provide you with assistance on selecting the structure that works best for your property and income targets). We will need to do a site visit at your property to prepare it for your professional photography shoot. We always endeavor to get your listing up as soon as possible!
Once your listing is live, MHV takes care of all the details required to help you acheive financial success:
- We manage your listings on all major OTA platforms including Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Expedia, Etc.
- Coordinate and finalize professional photography, virtual property tour and property decription copywriting
- Ongoing management of your rate structure to support maximized annual incomes
- 7-Day/Week Local Guest Support
We operate under internationally recognized standards and are APAR Board Members (Mexico's Vacation & Short Term Rental Association) and longstanding members of VRMA (Vacation Rental Management Association).
We charge a straightforward 20% commission on all rental contracts. This fee provides access to our exclusive platform and offers access to the Marriott Homes & Villas program. We include all transactional, tax processing, and wiring fees. This also includes all commission-based fees for OTA platform listings. We include liability insurance for all properties listed on our platform.

We always describe our service as everything required to bring your rental guests to your property and to support them througout their stay. The complimentary piece to this is Property Management, which handles all your maintenance requirements. We can connect you with our exclusive property management partner, Palm Properties, to help get you a customized quote that fit your requirements.

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.
In short, YES!
We do not have any minimum availability requirements nor do we place any blackout dates on Owner Partner stays.
Once in our program, you will get access to our Owner Portal where you can manage your dates of stay in real time. You will have 24/7 access to book, hold and/or cancel any personal reservation dates through this system.
While our brand does not include property management services, we maintain an exclusive partnership with Palm Properties Mexico who we believe are the best in the business!
Offering customizable property management packages designed to suit the unique needs of your property, Palm Properties can help you curate a service arrangement that offers exactly what you need. From bill payments to staffing, maintenance to pool care, housekeeping to garden care, Palm Properties has developed partnerships with some of Huatulco's most respected service providers. Their in-house team ensures your investment is safe and well cared for, both for you and your rental guests.

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!
