Bonaire: the zoning map puts this home in a zone that allows holiday letting
At the listing’s street address, the island’s spatial plan shows Recreatie - Verblijfsrecreatie (article 43), a zone whose rules allow holiday letting.
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.
A pin is not a surveyed plot boundary, and this one sits 409 m from ground where the answer differs, and a zone that allows it is not a permit for this home. Have the zone checked in the ROB, or by the notary, before you buy.

What it earns, what it costs to own, and the net yield
No Airbnb match on file
We have not confirmed this exact property on Airbnb, so it carries no operating history here. The figures above rest on the comparable set — a launch scenario, not a track record.
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.

ROI calculations use verified Brixfox Intelligence rental data.

Gross revenue is identical in both management scenarios. Market factors in ABC Islands may impact actual yields.
