How to Find a Rental in the Caribbean 

When choosing a place to rent in the Caribbean islands, you will want to note the details we feel are essential in your decision-making process. Here is where you can begin the process. 

Choose the Island for You 

You may find rentals on all of the Caribbean islands, but each one offers something different. Some are lively with music and the bar scene, while others offer rich history and elegance. Then some provide breathtaking waterfalls and caverns, and others that have an incredibly delicious food scene. Determining what cultural experiences you would like to immerse your family in is key. 

A few of the best islands for rentals are as follows: 

• Aruba has plenty of rentals, including high rises and villas. And the beaches are divine. 

• Anguilla is famous for its 33 white sand beaches, celebrity sightings, and incredible food. 
• Barbados has white and pink sand on one side and excellent surfing on the other. 
• Cancun, Riviera Maya is affordable and features the world's second-longest barrier reef and beautiful beaches.

• Puerto Rico has a fort and rich history to go along with its pristine beaches and family activities.
