How to find affordable long-term housing in Phu Quoc during high season?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 22 days ago
TL;DR
During peak season, housing in Phu Quoc is expensive and hard to book in advance — a budget of around $400-500 won't cover 10 days on sites like Trip.com. Most travelers book a hotel for the first week and then search for long-term housing locally through expat communities.

Booking long-term rental in advance is difficult — it's more reliable to search and negotiate for housing after arriving on the ground.
