 Negril is a favorite destination in Jamaica for free-spirited tourists who like to mingle with locals and enjoy authentic reggae music. Negril is one of the biggest tourist areas and is  ground zero for live music concerts and beach-side partying. Visitors to Negril with its 7-mile-long stretch of white sand beach have many activities to  choose from, including water sports and world-class shopping and dining,  as well as shaking it all night long to the infectious Caribbean musical grooves. Negril is the most laid-back place on earth.

Negril is one of three tourist towns in Jamaica. The other tourist towns are Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. Negril attracts alot of tourist that want to venture and explore the local area unlike the other tourist towns. 

 Negril is basically divided into two sections, the deeply rooted  bohemian west end and the newer and more hotel centric east end. The west end is home to boutique hotels, locally owned guesthouses and apartments and  traditional Jamaican restaurants. The condo is in the heart of the section that west end meets east end. The east end is little more than a line of mega resorts along the white sand beach that continues along  the road heading to Montego Bay. The village center of Negril lies between them, which is still small and has a spattering of tourist shops  and beach-side restaurants 

 Lying on the beach carefree and unhurried is still the official past-time of Negril. There is a host of water sports like jet skiing and parasailing. The coral reefs just offshore have long been popular with snorkelers, and scuba divers who frequently rent boats to the crystal clear waters that surround nearby  Booby Cay. Negril is also one of Jamaica's biggest live music  destinations and, besides the live reggae found almost every night in  the town and beach, Negril hosts several festivals throughout the year.

 It is important to note for investors, that they may see one or two similar vacation rental priced in similar range that may seemingly have all the amenties desired e.g location on the beach and a beautiful complex, however the short fall of many of these units is their location. If visitors are not staying in a hotel, they want to stay at a short term rental that is close to all the attractions. That is the reason why these condos in Negril are a better buy comparatively to apartment and condos in other towns. These condo give greater ROI comparatively.

The owners of the condo stated "When we were looking to buy a condo, we actually saw a number of condos and apartments in Ocho Rios and Montego Bay, but those towns cater to tourist who like to be locked up in all inclusive hotels, so when we checked online and looked at the rentals and their reviews in these other towns, tourist often complained about the rentals being far from everything. When we looked at Negril, we saw a cozy town bubbling with tourist walking around  and experiencing Negril. It is actually possible to have  a  95% to 100% booking rate at our Condo in Negril, the condos have repeat clients with some desiring to stay one to four months. There is indeed a high demand in the Negril area. There is also the chance that you will visit and not want to go home, Negril has a vibrant ex-pat community. It is my belief that Negril is the best town for short term rental and that our unique condo on a mall with its modern interior and rustic exterior will continue to be top choice for the european outdoor tourists. Another benefit is that there is a good referral system with repeat clients, there is no worry about shortage of bookings, as other owners are very willing when their place is booked to refer repeat clients to you if your condo is available" 

Exchange Rate of $1 US to $141 used where conversion is necessary. Please note that below is an estimate  in USD provided by condo owner in the complex. The costings are subject to usage rates e.g for water and electricity. As with all Airbnbs, proper management and customer service is the key to success. The cost per night is using an extremly conservative figure.

 Monthly Revenue Projections

Expenses - $458

HOA Monthly Fee - $106 usd

Housekeeping fee - $200 usd

Water fee - $15

Electricity fee -100 usd (can be lower or higher based on appliances)

Cleaning Supplies and toiletries - $22

Misc Repair Average Cost - $15

Income

Rental for Month with Daily Fee @ $50 daily with a 90% occupancy level -1350 ($50 per day is a low season rate, which is to give a worst case scenario, rates can go as high as $80 or above during peak season)

Low level revenue projection- Income (1350) minus Expense (458) = 892

Revenue = $892 per month

Using $50 per night in the estimated projections above is an extremly conservative figure as Negril hosts alot of festivals and concerts, along with these periods and peak seasons, rates for the studio can go above $120 per night. 

The value of the investment is not only the income but the resale value. Please note that the value of the condo is expected to appreciate significantly based on the market and few sellers.

Reviews from Airbnb for Condos located in the Complex

" My stay here was fantastic. Couldn't ask for a better host.  Mellody was very responsive and quickly answered all my questions. As  for my stay, not once did I feel unsafe. Melody introduced me to her  driver Kevin who was so gracious. He transported us from the airport and  gave us tours around the city. We were close to all amenities as well  the beach... I would definitely return the next time I'm in Jamaica" September 2020

 "Loved the location of this listing and the apartment style. It had  everything inside for comfort and I enjoyed being there. I definitely  recommend you stay here" August 2020

This villa is fully equipped with all  your cooking needs, very good WiFi/ cable, AC work perfectly the  community is just what I needed the real Jamaican feeling where I get to  mix with locals and tourists I enjoy staying at sunshine village  complex everything is at my feet. Groceries/Booz from the Hi-Lo  downstairs, restaurant and more on the same building.

Thank you as well for organizing our drive from the airport" May 2020 

" We were three friends traveling together to  Negril for a few days before heading to a retreat at Half Moon Beach.   We wanted an authentic taste of Negril and Shana's place was perfect!   From the reviews, we got exactly what we expected, except the place was  even sweeter and cleaner.   We walked to the Corner Bar for a very  authentic and delicious Jamaican dinner.  We bought some groceries and  made our own breakfast of coffee and fresh papaya.  7-mile beach was  just a short walk away from the condo.   Shana immediately responded to  any questions we had.  With the locked gate to the complex, the place  felt very secure.  I'd highly recommend Shanakay's place to other  travelers to Negril looking for a convenient and affordable place to  stay" March 2020 

 "A wonderfull Apartment, with all you need. You got everything, like Atm/ Supermarket/ 7 mile Beach, around to Go! Do it! " March 2020

 "Shanakay’s loft was lovely! I received  great  hospitality and a well decorated and organized place. It’s in the  perfect spot for everything I needed. Not to mention it being a short  distance from the town and some more amazing attractions in Negril.  Would definitely stay again in the future!"  May 2019

Airbnb Investors who purchase properies outside of their homeland often wonder about the ease at which they will be able to manage an Airbnb Investment from overseas. Here is a liitle of what the owner has to say about managing an Airbnb on the complex in Negril.

" Everyone can determine how best to manage their condo whilst living overseas. The good thing about Negril is that it has a vibrant ex-pat community and owners of vacation rentals who live all around the world. Here is what has worked for us. Yes you can let it be managed locally but its quite easy to manage from overseas. The owner can manage from overseas by being the host on Airbnb. The need to find a cleaner who they can communicate with regarding the condo is necessary. The good thing about the complex, is that it has a number of cleaners already working on the property who are willing to clean additional units. Additionally, we have had an excellent relationship with strata management, the strata office is located on the property and is open from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The strata has a Manager who reports to a Strata Committee which consist of owners of vacational rentals and owners of the commercial units"
