Cancellations under 72 hours before check-in are non-refundable. Long-term rental contracts (monthly) require 14 days' notice. Exceptions can be made for emergencies — contact us as early as possible.
Do all Phu Quoc rentals have WiFi and air conditioning?
Yes — all rentals listed through Phu Quoc Rentals include air conditioning and free WiFi as standard. Bungalows and apartments typically offer 30–65+ Mbps — sufficient for remote work and HD video calls. Villas often have dedicated fibre connections at 100+ Mbps. Homestays vary but all meet a minimum 20 Mbps WiFi requirement. Every rental is personally verified before listing.
Where should you stay on Phu Quoc Island?
The best area depends on your priorities. Long Beach (Bai Truong) suits most first-time visitors — 20 km of white sand, restaurants 2 minutes' walk, rentals from $25/night. Ong Lang Beach (12 km north of Duong Dong) is ideal for couples seeking quiet sunsets and private villas from $180/night. Duong Dong town offers the best long-term apartment value from $250/month and is 15 minutes from the airport. Full area guide.
When is the best time to visit Phu Quoc for accommodation?
The dry season (November–April) is the most popular time — clear skies, flat seas, ideal beach conditions. December–February is peak season; book 2–3 months ahead and expect higher prices. The rainy season (May–October) offers 20–30% lower rates, fewer crowds, and is excellent value for long-term stays. Brief afternoon showers last 1–2 hours; mornings and evenings are often clear.
Is Phu Quoc a good destination for long-term stays and monthly rentals?
Yes — Phu Quoc has become a leading destination for long-term stays, particularly for Russian winterers, Korean expats, and digital nomads. Monthly apartment rentals start from $250/month for a studio in Duong Dong; 1-bedroom flats with sea views on Long Beach cost $400–600/month. Most landlords prefer 3–6 month contracts with 20–30% discounts versus nightly rates. Long-term rental guide.
How long does it take to get from Phu Quoc Airport to a rental?
Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC) is centrally located. Long Beach (Bai Truong) is 10–15 minutes by car ($3–5 Grab). Duong Dong town is 5–10 minutes ($2–3). Ong Lang Beach is 20–25 minutes ($5–8). Airport transfers are included with most Phu Quoc Rentals bookings — our team meets you at arrivals.
Are pets allowed in Phu Quoc rentals?
Some bungalows and villas on Phu Quoc allow small pets — this is property-specific and must be confirmed before booking. Homestays and apartments generally do not allow pets. When contacting us, mention you are travelling with a pet and we will shortlist only pet-friendly options. A cleaning deposit (typically $20–50) may apply.
What payment methods are accepted for Phu Quoc rentals?
We accept bank transfer (SWIFT/SEPA), PayPal, and cryptocurrency (USDT/BTC) for deposit payments. The balance on arrival can be paid in cash (USD or VND). We do not accept credit cards directly, but PayPal supports card payments. A 30% deposit is required to confirm your booking.
Do I need a visa to visit Phu Quoc Island?
Phu Quoc Island offers a special 30-day visa exemption for international tourists arriving directly at Phu Quoc Airport (PQC) — no visa required for most nationalities, as long as you do not travel to the Vietnamese mainland. If you plan to visit the mainland, you will need a standard Vietnamese e-visa (30 or 90 days), available online at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn. Always check current visa rules with your country's embassy as regulations change.
Is Phu Quoc safe for tourists?
Phu Quoc is considered one of Vietnam's safest destinations for tourists. Serious crime against visitors is rare. The main risks are standard travel issues: road accidents (wear a helmet on motorbikes), sunburn, and jellyfish near the west coast from June–August. Tap water is not drinkable — bottled water costs 5,000–10,000 VND (under $0.50) everywhere.
Can I get a SIM card on arrival at Phu Quoc Airport?
Yes. Vietnamese SIM cards from Viettel, Vietnamobile, or Gmobile are available at kiosks immediately on arrival at Phu Quoc Airport. A tourist SIM with 30GB data for 30 days costs approximately $7–10. 4G and 5G coverage covers all major tourist areas including Ong Lang, Long Beach, and Bai Sao Beach.
What is the currency on Phu Quoc and can I use USD?
The official currency is the Vietnamese Dong (VND). USD is widely accepted at tourist-facing businesses, hotels, and rental properties — typically at 24,000–25,500 VND per dollar. ATMs dispensing VND are available at the airport, major hotels, and Duong Dong town. Most accommodation can be booked and deposited in USD.
How do I get around Phu Quoc Island?
The most practical option is a rented motorbike or scooter ($5–8/day, $50–70/week). There is no public bus network. The Grab app works well in Duong Dong and Long Beach ($1–3/trip). Taxis (Vinasun or Mai Linh) are available but more expensive. For airport transfers, we arrange pickup as part of your rental booking — no waiting around.
