Pacifico Rental Management
Pacifico Property Management
If you opt in to our PRMA you are required to use our Property Management for a fee of $150 per month. This ensures all maintenance and upkeep is held to Pacifico standards and allows peace of mind for the homeowner and a seamless experience for the renters should anything arise during their stay that needs immediate attention.
If you decide not to rent your suite, you may still use our Property Management for a fee of $150 per month
No. The rental program is voluntary and independent of the sales program. If you choose to rent your home, you may elect to enter into the Pacifico Rental Management Agreement. The optional rental program is designed to ensure that all rental guests receive the same superior quality of accommodation and access to services and amenities that they would expect to receive as homeowners of Pacifico.
The term is 1 year and will be renewed annually unless the homeowner decides not to rent their suite. Pacifico Rental Management requires 6 months notice when opting in or out of the program.
Your future buyer will have the option to either assume the PRMA or opt-out. If the buyer elects to opts out, however, they must honor all reservations in place at such time.
The PRM is entitled to accept reservations for any rental period within twelve (12) months of the reservation date, subject to prior reservations made by the homeowner.
For reservations made more than one (1) year in advance, homeowners have unlimited usage and pay only housekeeping charges. 4 months prior to each 12 months rental term the PRMA will ask you to provide your personal use time that year. The remaining time will be marketed to generate rental income.
Yes. As long as your residence is available, you can use it and pay only housekeeping charges.
Rentals can be either short or long term. Should the Homeowner only want to be in one or the other they will require to provide wri en notice 6 months prior to each 12 month renewal. All long term rentals will be 1 year contracts. Short term rentals will be a max of 30 days (monthly rate) and less then 30 days will be a nightly rate.
You may request daily housekeeping service and other services during your stay, subject to payment of the PRM prevailing rates for those services. The only housekeeping service you are required to receive and pay for is the departure date.
Home owners will receive 80% of the gross rental rate.
The Residences will be advertised for rent by the PRM as part of the NauUmi inventory, providing proprietary access to Pacifico’s global distribution network. The PRM has the right to list on other marketing sites as well to ensure as much rental exposure as possible. All associated marketing costs will be absorbed by the rental program fee (20% of Gross Rental Income).
The PRM will set the daily room rates based on rates charged at comparable properties in the market, size of residence, length of stay, seasonality, and forecasted available inventory. The PRM reserves the right to set and change rates at any time. Future rental performance will depend on many factors, including but not limited to the occupancy and average rate of other similar status residences.
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide projections of occupancy rates or rental rates due to Costa Rican Securities laws.
No. Rental revenues from your residence are not pooled with rental revenues from other residences. Each residence will have separate income and expense statements and each owner’s rental income will be directly tied to the number of days their residence is rented.
How will the PRM ensure that reservations are allocated fairly amongst all of the residence owners in the program?
Residences will be segmented according to floor plan, creating discrete room-type rotation groups. Reservations within each room-type rotation group will be assigned using a sequential rotation system. The only exception to the sequential rotation rule is when guests request a specific residence. In such cases, reservations would be assigned to the requested residence (if available), and that residence would revert to the bo om of the rotation. The allocation of rental opportunities will naturally be a ected by the timing and frequency of homeowner use. Accordingly, it is likely that some residences will be rented more frequently than others and will achieve different rental revenue and homeowner distributions.
No. Of the current 300 existing condominiums none of these suites have ocean views or are part of the PRMA. The new Na Umi condominiums are the first to o er ocean views, modern luxury interiors and will dramatically change how Pacifico markets the Master Planned Community, allowing it to reach exciting new markets.
