The Puerto Vallarta market
Puerto Vallarta's bay, old town and LGBTQ-friendly scene make it one of Mexico's Pacific coast's most popular short-term-rental markets, with strong expat and repeat demand. Hosts here pay OTA commissions on premium coastal stays. A direct-booking website helps Puerto Vallarta hosts capture repeat guests and keep more of every reservation.
Short-term-rental rules
Jalisco applies registration and tax rules for short-term rentals, enforced through state programs. Rules change, so always verify the current local requirements before listing.
