The Neighborhood: Cupecoy
Cupecoy sits at the western tip of the Dutch side, at the French border, where sandstone cliffs and sea caves drop to a small beach. Most homes are condos in gated residences and in the Porto Cupecoy marina village, which has a supermarket, restaurants and yacht berths on the lagoon. Mullet Bay Beach and the island's only golf course are next door; Maho's restaurants, casino and nightlife, and the airport, are a few minutes away. A medical school and an international school give the area a year-round community.
Owning and Renting It
The seller’s estimate of gross rental income once the building is delivered is US$75,000 to US$95,000 a year. It is an estimate for a building that is not yet open, so treat it with care: compare it with finished buildings nearby, and deduct fees, insurance, utilities and management. Confirm the residence's rental rules before you commit.
Buying Off-Plan in Cupecoy
Cupecoy is on the Dutch side. Foreign buyers purchase freely, in their own name or through a company, and a civil-law notary handles the transfer. Transfer tax is 4%, paid by the buyer, and total closing costs commonly come to about 5.5% of the price. For a new build, also check the payment schedule, the completion date, the guarantees and what happens if delivery is late. SXM Dream Investments can walk you through each step.
