About MAREVI

What is MAREVI?

It is a short-stay management company based in João Pessoa, Paraíba. It works both sides of the market: renting furnished apartments and flats to guests, and managing short-stay properties for owners — listings, pricing, guest support, cleaning and payouts.

How long has MAREVI been around?

MAREVI is a new company — the operation is not. Vanessa Rodrigues, founder and CEO, has managed short-stay accommodation in João Pessoa since 2018, leading a local team. The brand is recent; the experience behind it is not.

Is MAREVI a real estate agency?

No. An estate agency deals in sales and long-term lets. MAREVI works exclusively with short stays — nightly rates — and runs the property from first contact to check-out.

How many properties does MAREVI manage?

Our largest operation is the HIT Cabo Branco building, on the Cabo Branco seafront, where we manage all 105 units. Beyond it, we have apartments in the Aruanda, in Tambaú; the Atlantic Home Place, in Jardim Oceania; the Santorini Flat, in Bessa; and the Simple Smart Residence, in Manaíra. Three more buildings are being added.

Which neighbourhoods does MAREVI operate in?

Manaíra, Tambaú, Cabo Branco, Bessa and Jardim Oceania, on João Pessoa's seafront. The company also assesses properties in other neighbourhoods and towns in Paraíba as opportunities arise.

Where is MAREVI's office?

At R. Bananeiras, 361, Room 203, Manaíra, João Pessoa/PB, postcode 58038-170. Sales hours are Monday to Saturday, 9am to 7pm, and Sundays from 9am to noon.

For guests

How do I make a booking?

Through this site: enter the dates and number of guests in the search on the home page and see what is available. If you prefer, talk to our team on WhatsApp, at (83) 98841-1818. The properties are also listed on Booking.com.

How much is a night?

Rates start at R$ 150 and vary by property, type and season — studios, flats and apartments are priced differently, and high season costs more than low. Send us your dates on WhatsApp and we'll reply with a final price, with no fees appearing later.

Do I have to pay everything upfront?

Payment terms are agreed at booking, directly with our team — no middleman. We accept Pix, bank transfer and card.

Is someone available if something goes wrong during the stay?

Yes. Guest support runs 24 hours a day, every day. The team is local and solves things in person — it is not a remote call centre.

Are the properties furnished?

All of them. They are apartments and flats equipped for short stays, with linen, a fitted kitchen and air conditioning. Each property page lists the specific amenities of the building and the unit.

Which is the best neighbourhood to stay in João Pessoa?

It depends on the trip. Manaíra has the restaurants and shops and everything is walkable; Tambaú is the tourist heart and the departure point for tours; Cabo Branco is more residential and quiet; Bessa and Jardim Oceania are the calmest stretch of the northern seafront.

9 questions

For property owners

How do I put my property with MAREVI?

The first step is a free assessment: we visit the property, study the area and present a realistic revenue projection, with no obligation. If it makes sense for both sides, we handle photos, listings and operations.

What kind of property does MAREVI take on?

Studios, flats and furnished apartments for short stays, on the João Pessoa seafront. The property must be equipped or able to be equipped — we advise on furniture and linen before it goes live.

Does my property need to be furnished first?

Not necessarily. If it isn't yet, we advise on the furniture and linen standard and oversee the fit-out. The investment is the owner's and the standard is defined together.

How do I keep track of what happens with my property?

Every month you receive your payment together with a report of bookings and income, with no small print and no hidden fee.

What system do you use to manage bookings for my property?

We run on Stays, a short-term rental management platform. It synchronises availability between our own site and Booking — which prevents double bookings — and it handles the reservations made here. Internal operations run on New Byte. In practice: your property is not managed on a spreadsheet, and every booking, block and payment is recorded in a system.

Does MAREVI manage entire buildings?

We manage individual units and at-scale operations at a single address. At Edifício HIT Cabo Branco, on the Cabo Branco seafront, all 105 units in the building are under our management.

Do you take properties away from the seafront?

The operation is concentrated in Manaíra, Tambaú, Cabo Branco, Bessa and Jardim Oceania, but we assess properties in other neighbourhoods and towns in the region as opportunities arise.

I am a broker or a developer. How does the partnership work?

Brokers receive R$ 400 per property brought in, paid on signature of the owner's contract, and keep the client relationship while MAREVI runs the property. Developers can structure the short-stay operation for an entire building, on terms designed case by case.

Is there a minimum contract term?

No. We don't work with lock-in periods: you decide how long you stay, and there is no exit penalty. We would rather be chosen on results, month after month.
