11. What potential rental income can I expect?

We conservatively anticipate One Bequia Villas will rent on average for US $300-$500 per bedroom per night during the low and high seasons. This average can be much higher during the high season. According to government statistics, hotels and guesthouses achieve at least 40% occupancy in St. Vincent And The Grenadines. These figures are estimated rental revenues based on 40% occupancy after subtracting maintenance fees, cleaning fees, booking commission fees as well as management fees. These fees amount to roughly 50% of the total gross revenue. A portion of these fees are reinvested into the community to maintain and expand infrastructure, amenities, utilities, security etc.

 

 These figures are estimates based on current trends and not a revenue guarantee. Actual revenue may be higher or lower than stated in the estimates below.
