Does anyone know of a good real estate agent (first hand observations only please) for long term rentals in Cozumel? I’m looking for something 1/2 bedrooms for about two months next winter, I’m on the island for the next 7 days so would like to get together with them to look at what’s available.

Thanks

I have used enjoycozumel.com in the past for a long term rental & was very pleased with my experience with them. Their web site has a good search function & they provided very good communication, etc.
 
Two months in the middle of high season is not "long term" rental.
 
What lion said. It is considered a monthly rental. Long term rental is 6 mo or 12 mo. You get a little discount vs weekly renting monthly.
 
Also be aware that most monthly rentals do not include electricity (read the print below the rental rates, a few include electric, most do not). Inquire before rental. Electric is very expensive if you run AC. A few places require you to pay pool maintenance and or gas, water....

Yes, electricity is VERY expensive.
You'd be amazed to learn how many Airbnb guests think that it's appropriate to run the a/c with doors and windows open, hoping to cool off the island.
So yes, electricity is almost always added.
 
It is a tiered rate. Locals that don't have AC, use propane for cooking and hot water (if they have), only use for lighting is very, very cheep. Gringo's who use AC pay DAC rate to subsidized the lower rate.

On DAC it is about $5.25 Peso per KW (Depends on month) plus monthly fee.

That's about $0.31per kWh, which is over twice what I pay but it is less than what it costs in Hawaii.


Tiered rates are common in the US as well; we have them here.
