Holiday Rental Management on the Costa del Sol

This page is for owners who want to rent out their new Costa del Sol home and earn an income, without any of the daily work. You will learn how our full management works, what we handle, how the money reaches you, and the licence rules as they stand now. Honest, calm, and clear.

Quick summary: Our own company manages your holiday rental from start to finish, for a set commission. You do nothing day to day. We create and run the listings, take the bookings, deal with every guest, clean between stays, and handle maintenance. Your income simply lands in your Spanish bank account each month. Your lawyer arranges the tourist licence for a small fee, and we handle the rest. We also offer property management on its own if you would rather not rent.

Full management, not just check-in and check-out

There is a big difference between someone who only does check-in and check-out, and someone who runs the whole thing.

With a check-in service, you still carry the worry. You chase the bookings, answer the guests, sort the cleaning, and deal with every problem yourself. It is not really hands-off.

We only offer the full version. For a set commission, we manage everything, so you genuinely receive a monthly income and nothing else lands on your plate. That is the whole point: no effort, no stress, just the income.

Why renting it out makes owning easy

Short-term renting is one of the smartest ways to own a second home. Done well, it covers the costs of owning the property, and then some.

• The income covers your running costs, so the home largely pays for itself.
• It builds up money in your Spanish bank account, ready for whenever you fly over with your family, with zero effort on your side.
• Many owners who visit in winter rent the home out for the whole summer. That alone can cover all the costs of owning the property for the year.

So instead of a second home that drains money while it sits empty, you get one that funds itself and is still there waiting whenever you want it.

What we handle for you

Because this runs through our own company, not an outside firm, we control the quality of every step. We take care of:

• The listings. We create and manage your adverts across the booking platforms, and we also bring our own direct clients.
• Every guest. All communication, from the first question to check-out, plus any disputes and the reviews.
• The turnaround. Cleaning, linen changes, and maintenance between every stay. Our company has its own cleaners, so we are never waiting on anyone.
• The guest paperwork. We handle the guest police registration that Spain requires for each booking.

You see none of this work. You just see the calendar fill and the income arrive.

Bonus tip: A home that funds itself is the goal, but the one that earns most is the one that stands out. If you are furnishing to rent, a little extra character wins bookings over the identical flats next door. We can guide you on this, because we manage rentals every day.

How the money works, with no float to manage

You do not need to keep a pot of money in Spain for the rental. We handle costs as they come, straight from the income.

• If a guest breaks something small, we fix or replace it and pay for it from the rental income.
• At the end of the period, we deduct those costs and our commission, then send you the rest.
• Our commission depends on the property and is agreed with you up front, in plain terms, with no hidden markups.

So your statement is simple and clear, and you never have to wire money over for small repairs or top up a balance.

The licence, and the rules as they stand now

You need the right licence to let short-term, and your lawyer arranges it for a small fee, in collaboration with us. Here is where the rules actually stand.

• The Andalucia tourist licence. This is the regional registration that lets you operate legally. Your lawyer handles it.
• Your community must allow it. To run a short-term let, you need your community of owners to permit it, which takes a 60% (three-fifths) vote in favour. Some communities welcome holiday lets, some vote against them.
• No more national registration. A national registration number was briefly required in 2025, but Spain's Supreme Court struck it down in May 2026, so it is no longer needed. The regional licence is what matters.

Warning: Before you count on rental income, check that your community of owners actually allows short-term lets. We have seen buyers build their whole budget around rental returns, only to find the community has voted against them. We check this for you as part of getting set up.

If your community does not allow short-term lets, you still have options. You can rent medium-term, for a few months at a time, or long-term. The trade-off with a long-term let is that the home stays fully occupied, so you cannot pop over and use it yourself.

We work with owners who want it handled

We are honest about who we suit best. We work with owners who do not want to micromanage, and who trust us to run the whole thing.

Renting goes smoothly when you let us handle it. A constant back-and-forth about every small decision is stressful for both sides and slows everything down. If you want a hands-off second home that earns quietly in the background, that is exactly what we do.

If you would rather not rent

Renting is not for everyone, and that is fine. If you simply want your empty home looked after, we also offer property management on its own: keeping an eye on the home, handling the upkeep, and being there when you are not. You can read about that on our property management page.

Conclusion

A holiday rental can turn a second home into one that pays for itself, but only if it is managed properly and the community allows it. Our own company runs the whole thing for a set commission, from listings and guests to cleaning and the guest police registration, with your lawyer handling the Andalucia licence. The old national registration is gone since the Supreme Court struck it down, so the regional licence is what counts. You simply receive the income. Get in touch when you are ready to rent with zero stress.
