PROPERTY MANAGEMENT · TULUM · RIVIERA MAYA
Your Place. Our Care.
We take care of your property like it's our own (because honestly, we kind of love it too). Local hearts, professional hands, and the kind of transparency that lets you sleep easy at night.
Been Let Down Before? We Get It.
If your property manager stopped answering calls, if your cleaning crew "forgot" to show up, or if those monthly reports feel more like mystery novels than financial statements... yeah, we've heard these stories. A lot. Too many, actually.
Here's the thing: you deserve better. Not "corporate better" with empty promises, but real, human, reliable better. The kind where someone picks up when you call. Where things actually get done. Where you can breathe easy knowing your investment is in good hands.
What a seamless transition looks like:
- No gap in bookings — we coordinate the handoff so your calendar stays full
- Your listings, optimized — professional photography, dynamic pricing, compelling copy
- Full transparency from day one — see exactly where every peso goes
- Regulatory compliance handled — RETUR-Q registration, tax filings, permits
- Bilingual guest communication — English and Spanish, 24/7
Honestly? We're Just Tired of Hearing Horror Stories
Every property owner we meet has a story. The manager who ghosted them. The "repairs" that never happened. The mystery fees that magically appeared. We started Ola Habitat because someone had to. Your property is a big deal — it's your investment, your dream, maybe even your future retirement. It deserves someone who treats it that way.
We Actually Live Here
Minerva isn't managing your property from a call center three time zones away. She lives in Tulum. She knows which electrician shows up on time, which cleaning crew does corners properly, and which taco spot your guests absolutely need to try. That kind of knowledge? You can't Google it.
We'll Tell You Everything (Promise)
You'll get monthly reports that actually make sense — no financial jargon, no "administrative fees" that mysteriously appear. Every peso accounted for. Every expense explained. Boring? Maybe. But also: refreshingly honest. You'll always know exactly what's happening with your property.
The Good Kind of Tech
You know how some companies hide behind "proprietary systems" and clunky portals? Not us. We use CoHost Pro — the same professional tools big property managers use, but with actual humans running them. Smart pricing that adjusts automatically. Real-time booking updates. And dashboards you can actually understand (imagine that!).
Full-Service Property Management
From listing creation to guest checkout, from dynamic pricing to tax compliance — we manage every detail so you don't have to.
Listing Optimization & Professional Photography
Your property's first impression determines everything. We create compelling listings with professional photography, strategic copy, and optimized titles that convert browsers into bookers.
Dynamic Pricing & Revenue Management
Tulum has over 8,000 active vacation rentals. In a market this competitive, pricing is the difference between a booked calendar and an empty one.
Our revenue management approach combines enterprise-grade dynamic pricing technology with local market intelligence that algorithms alone can't provide. We monitor real-time demand signals — competitor availability, flight search volume, local events, seasonal patterns, and weather forecasts — to adjust your nightly rate multiple times per day.
But pricing is only part of the equation. We optimize your entire revenue picture: minimum stay requirements that balance occupancy with turnover costs, seasonal rate strategies that capture peak pricing without leaving gaps in shoulder season, and platform-specific pricing across Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com to maximize visibility where demand is strongest.
You approve the strategy. We execute daily.
Guest Communication & Concierge
Bilingual (English and Spanish) guest support from inquiry through checkout. Fast response times. Local restaurant recommendations. The kind of hospitality that earns five-star reviews.
Cleaning & Maintenance Coordination
Vetted local cleaning crews held to hotel-grade standards. Routine property inspections. Preventive maintenance to catch issues before they become expensive problems.
Financial Reporting & Transparency
Monthly reports showing every booking, every expense, every peso. No hidden management fees. No surprise charges. Access your property's performance data anytime.
Regulatory Compliance & Tax Support
RETUR-Q registration. Municipal permits. VAT and income tax obligations. We navigate Mexican regulations so foreign owners don't have to become experts.

Everything You Need to Know
How is Ola Habitat different from other property managers in the area?
Three things set us apart. First, local presence — Minerva lives and works in the Riviera Maya, and our team is on the ground handling everything in person, not from a remote office. Second, technology — we use enterprise-grade property management software, dynamic pricing, and channel management tools that most local operators can't match. Third, transparency — you'll see exactly where every peso goes in detailed monthly reports with no hidden fees.
What happens to my existing bookings if I switch to Ola Habitat?
We coordinate a seamless transition. Existing bookings are honored and managed. We work with your current platform listings to ensure zero gaps in your calendar. Most transitions are complete within 2 weeks with no loss of bookings or revenue.
How do you handle pricing?
We use dynamic pricing technology that adjusts nightly rates based on real-time market data — local demand, competitor pricing, seasonal patterns, and event calendars. This means higher rates during peak periods and competitive rates during slower months to maintain occupancy. You approve the pricing strategy; we optimize daily execution.
What are your management fees?
We believe in transparent, competitive pricing. Our management fee is a percentage of gross rental revenue — no hidden charges, no surprise fees. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your property type and location. We'll show you exactly what you can expect to earn after all costs.
Can you manage my property if I live outside Mexico?
Absolutely — most of our owners live abroad. That's exactly why we exist. We handle everything on the ground: guest management, cleaning, maintenance, vendor relationships, regulatory compliance, and tax obligations. You receive detailed monthly reports and can reach us anytime via WhatsApp, email, or phone.
What about Mexican tax obligations?
Short-term rentals in Mexico are subject to VAT (16%), income tax, and a state lodging tax (5-6% in Quintana Roo). We help ensure your property is registered correctly and that tax filings are handled properly. We also assist with RETUR-Q registration, which is now mandatory in Quintana Roo.
How do you handle pricing in Tulum's competitive market?
Tulum has thousands of active vacation rentals, so pricing strategy matters more here than in most markets. We use professional dynamic pricing technology combined with local market intelligence to optimize your nightly rate in real time. We monitor competitor availability, demand patterns, local events, and seasonal trends — then adjust your rates multiple times daily. We also optimize minimum stay requirements, channel-specific pricing, and seasonal strategy to maximize your net annual revenue, not just your nightly rate.
What kind of occupancy and revenue can I expect in Tulum?
We believe in honest expectations. Tulum's overall average occupancy is between 30-50% depending on the season and data source. However, the gap between professionally managed properties and self-managed ones is significant — well-optimized properties with strong listings, competitive pricing, and excellent guest reviews consistently outperform the market average. During your free property assessment, we'll show you specific data for your neighborhood and property type so you can set realistic expectations based on real market conditions, not promises.
Let's Talk About Your Place
No sales pitch, we promise. Just a friendly conversation about your property, what you're hoping for, and whether we're a good fit. (And if we're not? We'll tell you that too.)
