Holiday rental managementin Salares
Salares
Salares is one of the smallest villages in the Axarquía, a Mudéjar tower and a lane of white houses. It is not a place you stumble into. Owners here need a manager who will treat a single house with the same attention as a seafront block.
Letting a house in Salares
One house in a short white lane gets the same attention as a block of flats on the beach.
- Village stays booked by people who sought the village out
- Longer bookings and fewer, better guests
- A direct line to the Fresh team, not a call centre
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
Guests driving to Salares get the route in sentences, including the turn that looks wrong. A pin on a map is not enough when the last turning looks wrong.
02
Guests stay for the week
Most people who book Salares 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 Salares, this is who you talk to. Same phone as the rest of Axarquía.
+31 6 23700433Questions owners ask
The same answers we give on the phone, for a house in Salares.
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 Salares. 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 Salares and a wet Tuesday in February. Longer bookings and fewer, better guests

We are not in Spain for handovers.
Good. That is most of the owners. Guests driving to Salares get the route in sentences, including the turn that looks wrong. 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.
