Bonaire: short-term letting depends on the zoning of the plot
Brixfox could not read this plot’s zone: its coordinates were read off the listing page by software, not taken from the agency’s map.
Bonaire’s spatial plan (the ROB) allows short-stay letting, meaning stays of up to three months, only in designated zones. Whether a plot is in one differs by neighbourhood and by plot, and in residential zones it is not allowed.
The island government has enforced that since May 2024. In March 2024 it wrote to residents of eleven neighbourhoods: Sabal Palm, La Palma, Suikerpalm, Belnem, Bona Bista, Bolivia Ariba, Nawati, Santa Barbara, Hato, Sabadeco and Lagun Hill.
Brixfox does not know the zone of this plot. Have it checked in the ROB, or by the notary, before you buy. The yield on this page assumes the home may be let short-term.

Calendar-tracked performance
We track this exact listing's availability calendar daily. Over the recent 3-month window it was booked 58% of nights, and it asks $571/night. The occupancy is measured. The nightly rate is what the host asks — Airbnb does not publish what a night actually sold for, so no source anywhere has the earned rate. The projections below deliberately stay on the area's market median rather than this single window, so short-window peaks or gaps don't swing the underwriting — where they differ, treat this card as the listing's own track record and the model as the conservative base case.
Revenue assumptions
Derived from the comparable Airbnb listings below. The headline ADR is the expected BOOKED rate — nearby asking prices corrected by our measured, market-calibrated asking-to-booked factor. Occupancy is calibrated against tracked reference homes nearby. Comp cards below show raw asking prices.Investment basis
The true all-in acquisition cost — asking price plus purchase costs, renovation and furnishing. Every yield on this page is computed against this total, not the asking price.No income tax is charged: Bonaire's vastgoedbelasting taxes a deemed yield on the value instead. That is our reading of the law, not a ruling, so ask an accountant before relying on it. Financing is not modelled.
Rental yield + value growth
Your net rental yield plus a yearly rise in the property's market value (land and building) that you choose. Value growth is an assumption, not data — which is why it starts at 0% and is kept out of the yield figures above.Where it sits, and who confirms it

Score, and what could go wrong
Brixfox Score
Solid potential with some areas to watch. The strong nightly rate offsets the weaker location.

ROI calculations use verified Brixfox Intelligence rental data. Operating costs are modelled per line — Airbnb/Booking channel fees whoever manages, then either a full-service management commission or the staff/local operations a self-managing owner buys back, cleaning residual, utilities & insurance, local taxes — with every rate editable in the Financial analysis P&L above. Gross revenue is identical in both management scenarios. Market factors in ABC Islands may impact actual yields.
