Long-Term Rentals vs. Vacation Rentals in Aruba

Compare rental periods, costs, property rules, and the needs each rental type can meet.

Rental periods

Long-term rentals usually start at 6–12 months; vacation rentals are booked by the night or week, often with seasonal pricing.

Costs

Vacation rentals cost more per night but include utilities and cleaning. Long-term rentals are cheaper monthly but tenants typically pay utilities.

Which fits you

Relocating or working on the island? Go long-term. Exploring neighbourhoods before buying? A few weeks in a vacation rental can be ideal.
