long-term lets near St. George’s University and Grand Anse give steadier income with less work; vacation rentals earn more per night in villas with a view but carry seasonality and management cost. Many owners do both — students or professionals in term time, guests at Christmas and in Sailing Week.
Long-term: the SGU calendar
Units in True Blue, Lance aux Epines, Grand Anse and Frequente let by the semester or academic year. Demand is predictable (August and January intakes), tenants are reliable, and furnished one- and two-bedrooms are the sweet spot. Vacancy is low; rents are modest but consistent and mostly in US dollars.
Vacation: villas with a view
Three- and four-bedroom villas with pools on the south coast and around Grand Anse do best. High season runs December to April with a bump for Sailing Week (late January) and Spicemas (August). Expect to pay a manager or agency a share of income, keep the pool and garden immaculate, and accept quiet months.
