Introduction

Short-term rentals (STRs), referred to locally as "alojamientos a corto plazo," are legal in Moca Municipality, Puerto Rico, but they operate under specific regulations set by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. STRs thrive particularly in rural settings, with types of properties like cabins and rustic homes proving popular among tourists seeking a local experience. Moca cultivates an environment that primarily caters to tourists, given its natural attractions and proximity to beaches. However, there is also a presence of business travelers. The local government mandates various requirements, including registration with the Municipality and obtaining a Use Permit from the Office of Management and Permits (OGPe), while adhering to the Puerto Rico Hostelry Regulation, which caps STR units at six per property.
