Holiday rental managementin Fuengirola
Fuengirola
Fuengirola is a proper town with a castle, a port, and a beach that runs the length of the paseo. Families book it because everything is walkable. A flat here should feel that easy in the listing and at check-in.
Letting a house in Fuengirola
Castle, port, beach, all on foot. If check-in is fussy, the listing has already oversold the place.
- Beach and old-town apartments with a family guest
- One of the longest seasons on this part of the coast
- Tight turnarounds handled by a local team, not a key box and a prayer
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 photographs are of this house
Taken in the rooms, in daylight, including the walk outside. Guests who already know Fuengirola are checking whether the place is as straightforward as the listing says.
02
The price follows the year here
August in Fuengirola is not priced like February. A full August is not a reason to leave the quiet weeks at a hopeful number.
03
Check-in does not need you on a plane
People bound for Fuengirola often land at Málaga and drive straight on. Check-in has to work at nine in the evening.
04
The clean is one you would walk into
Linen, kitchen, bathrooms and floors, then a look around. You keep the weeks you want the house.
Who you talk to

The same answers we give on the phone, for a house in Fuengirola.
What does Judith charge in Fuengirola?
20% of the net rent, plus IVA. Styling, photographs, the listing and the turnovers sit inside it. You are not paying a designer on the side and a manager on top.
We use the apartment ourselves in Easter and August.
Then those weeks come off the calendar before a price is published. The pueblo and the beach do not want the same dates. It is much easier to protect a family week at the start than to unpick a booking later.
What about the tourist licence?
Holiday letting needs the Andalusian registration. Judith will tell you if the house is short of something, and who nearby can file the papers. We would rather delay the first guest than explain a fine.
Who looks after the flat day to day?
Judith, with cleaners she uses in Mijas, Fuengirola and Benalmádena. She came to this from interior design, so the house is dressed before it is photographed. The person with the keys has been to the flat.
Air conditioning dies in July. What happens?
Someone local comes. You are told what was done and what it cost. The guest is not handed your personal mobile as the maintenance plan. If a repair can wait for your yes, we wait.
Where is it advertised?
Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, with pictures taken after the place is ready. The text says which street in Fuengirola, which floor, which walk to the beach or the square. “Near Mijas” is not a description. One of the longest seasons on this part of the coast
What do guests get wrong about Fuengirola?
Castle, port, beach, all on foot. If check-in is fussy, the listing has already oversold the place. Beach and old-town apartments with a family guest. The listing should match that, including the parts that are not glamorous.
Can you take arrivals if we live in another country?
Yes. Short stays are common on this part of the coast, and so are owners who are elsewhere. People bound for Fuengirola often land at Málaga and drive straight on. Check-in has to work at nine in the evening.
The gaps between guests are sometimes one day.
Then the clean happens the same day, to a hotel standard, terrace included if people actually sit on it. A one-night gap is not an excuse for a lighter clean. It is a reason to be organised.
How do we begin?
Speak to Judith. She will want to walk the house before anyone talks about a rate. Bring the licence, or the news that you do not have one yet, to that visit.
