The Punta Cana market
Punta Cana's beachfront resorts, villa communities and all-inclusive-adjacent stays make it the Dominican Republic's busiest short-term-rental destination. Hosts here pay OTA commissions on a steady flow of holiday bookings. A direct-booking website helps Punta Cana hosts capture repeat guests and keep more of every stay.
Short-term-rental rules
The Dominican Republic requires short-term-rental hosts to register with tourism authorities and meet tax obligations. Registration is required, so always verify the current local requirements.
