Rules vary across Cape Verde. I don't have reliable information about short-term rental regulations or enforcement realities for Sal, Boa Vista, Santiago, and São Vicente in Cape Verde. These islands lack well-documented STR regulatory frameworks in available sources. Without verified data on permits, occupancy rules, caps, or actual enforcement practices, I cannot accurately classify these locations or provide the requested summary format. Verify requirements for the property's jurisdiction.
