Holiday rental managementin Árchez
Árchez
Árchez is a small Mudéjar village between Cómpeta and the next ridge, known for its tower and its size. A holiday house here is a find. The listing should feel like one, not like a template with the name swapped.
Letting a house in Árchez
There are not many houses here. That is a reason to write each listing properly, not an excuse to use a template.
- A handful of village homes, so each one can be looked after properly
- Guests exploring the white villages rather than the beach
- We write the listing around the house you actually have
The fee is 20% of the net rent, plus IVA. That is the listing, the messages, check-in, a hotel-grade clean, and someone going to the house when a message will not fix it. You block the weeks you want it yourself. Those weeks are not sold.

Between one guest and the next
01
The way in is written down
The note for Árchez says where to leave the car. A pin on its own is how people arrive annoyed. A pin on a map is not enough when the last turning looks wrong.
02
Guests stay for the week
Most people who book Árchez stay for several nights, not a single night on the way to somewhere else. A quiet week is not priced like a full one in August.
03
The house is checked before they arrive
Heat, water, a light that works, and the pool if the house has one. A fault found in the afternoon is better than one the guest reports.
04
The weeks you want stay blocked
The calendar is held in one place. The weeks you want the house yourself come off before anyone can book them.
Who you talk to
Mike & Maayke
Mike and Maayke started Fresh Properties, and they own a house in the Axarquía themselves. A call about a lock or a pool comes from people who drive the same roads.
For a house in Árchez, this is who you talk to. Same phone as the rest of Axarquía.

The same answers we give on the phone, for a house in Árchez.
What does it cost if you take the house on?
The fee is 20% of what the house earns, plus IVA. Same figure if the key is by the beach or up a lane in Árchez. Mike and Maayke are not adding a surcharge for the hill.
Can we block weeks for ourselves?
Yes, and you should do it before the calendar is published. On this coast the beach and the villages do not fill in the same weeks. An empty owner-block is how a double booking happens.
Is a tourist licence actually required?
For a holiday let in Andalusia, yes. We tell you what is missing and introduce someone local who can file the registration. Listing first and hoping nobody asks is how people get fined.
Who deals with the guest?
Mike and Maayke. They started Fresh Properties and they own a place in the Axarquía, so the person answering has driven the road the guest is on. You are not introduced to a call centre.
The boiler fails on a changeover day. Who goes?
A person in a car, not a ticket that sits until Monday. You are told what happened. If it can be fixed without a decision from you, it is. If it cannot, we ask before spending.
Which sites do you use?
Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. The photos are of your house. The price knows the difference between a full week in Árchez and a wet Tuesday in February. Guests exploring the white villages rather than the beach
People ask us about Árchez. What do you tell them?
There are not many houses here. That is a reason to write each listing properly, not an excuse to use a template. We write the listing around the house you actually have
We are not in Spain for handovers.
Good. That is most of the owners. The note for Árchez says where to leave the car. A pin on its own is how people arrive annoyed. Bins, late flights, a question about the pool: those stay with the team here.
How thorough is the clean?
Hotel standard between stays. Kitchen, bathrooms, linen, floors, and whatever the last guest moved and did not put back. Someone looks. We do not take the cleaner’s word against an empty house we have not seen.
What is the first conversation?
The house, the paperwork, and which weeks are yours. Call Mike and Maayke or write. Photos come after that visit, or after a proper look at the rooms, not before.
Also in Axarquía
Mike & Maayke look after the neighbouring towns as well. Same people, same standard, a different road.
