How much does a holiday rental management company charge in Alcossebre?

It depends on the apartment: its location, size, furnishings and the services you want to hand over. At Casa Azahar we explain it in detail in the income estimate, which is free and carries no obligation.

Do I need a licence to let my apartment to tourists in Alcossebre?

Yes. In the Valencia region a home let to tourists for 10 days or fewer must be listed in the Generalitat's Registro de Turismo, with a municipal planning compatibility report and the agreement of the owners' association. Casa Azahar can handle it for you.

Can I still use my apartment if Casa Azahar manages it?

Yes. You tell us the dates you want to keep for yourself or your family and we block them in the calendar. The rest of the declared operating period is marketed to guests.

Who takes care of cleaning and repairs?

Casa Azahar. We clean and change the linen between guests, deal with day-to-day issues and keep you informed of any repairs. Valencian regulations require cleaning and maintenance to be provided by the operator of the tourist rental; simply recommending a professional is not enough.

Which buildings in Alcossebre does Casa Azahar work in?

Casa Azahar manages apartments in more than twenty buildings in Alcossebre, in Las Fuentes and the marina, the Cargador and the town centre, Playa Romana and the Serra d'Irta area. We also consider apartments in other buildings and estates in town.

What happens after I send the form?

A Casa Azahar manager contacts you by phone or email, gets to know your apartment and gives you an income estimate. Then you decide whether you want us to manage it; sending the form doesn't commit you to anything.

Holiday Rental Management in Alcossebre for Owners

Holiday rental management in Alcossebre means handing over to a local company everything involved in letting your home to tourists: advertising it, setting prices, looking after guests, handing over keys, cleaning, fixing breakdowns and complying with the regulations. If you're looking for a company to manage your apartment in Alcocéber, or you already let it yourself and it takes up too much of your time, Casa Azahar does it for you with its own team in town.

What we do for you

Casa Azahar takes care of letting your holiday apartment from start to finish. These are the services included in the management:

Listing on the booking channels. We create and maintain your apartment's listing on the Casa Azahar website and on the main holiday rental sites, with photos, a description in several languages and the tourist registration number required by law.
Dynamic pricing. We adjust the rate according to the season, how far ahead guests book and the demand in each week, so you don't give away the busiest days or leave the quieter ones empty.
Bookings and guest care. We answer enquiries, manage bookings and changes, and look after guests before, during and after their stay.
Key handover and check-in. Guests collect the keys at our office at Avenida Las Fuentes, 11, with no key boxes in the street, which Valencian regulations prohibit.
Cleaning and linen. Professional cleaning between guests and a change of bed linen and towels.
Maintenance and repairs. We check the apartment, deal with day-to-day issues and keep you informed of any repairs.
Tourist licence and registration. We handle registration in the Registro de Turismo de la Comunitat Valenciana (the Valencian Region's tourism register), its renewal and any changes, either as your representative or as the operator of the activity.
Guest registration. We send each guest's details to the SES.Hospedajes platform of Spain's Ministry of the Interior within the legal 24-hour deadline.

Why Casa Azahar

Casa Azahar is the Alcossebre apartment management company that lets homes in more than twenty buildings in town, from Las Fuentes and the marina to the Cargador, Playa Romana and the Serra d'Irta (you'll find them in the directory of apartment complexes). It also belongs to the same group as two hotels in town: Alcossebre Sea Experience and Hotel Alcossebre.

That combination of apartments and hotels gives us a complete view of tourist demand in Alcossebre, which we apply to your apartment:

Who comes. The main audience is people over 45: mature couples, retired people and grandparents travelling with their grandchildren. Families with children are the second group. We know what they value (a lift, a pool, being close to the beach, peace and quiet) and how to present your apartment to them.
Where they come from. Within Spain, mainly from the Valencia region, Madrid, Catalonia, Aragón and the Basque Country. Among foreign visitors, France is the leading market, followed by Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium and the Netherlands, with Switzerland and Italy on the rise.
When they come. August and July are the busiest months, followed by June, May, April and September. German guests tend to come from June to September, French guests are concentrated in August, and Belgian and Dutch guests spread their trips throughout the year. In the hotels we also see older travellers who come in autumn and on long weekends.

With that information we decide which languages to advertise your apartment in, on which channels and at what price for every week of the year.

How we optimise your apartment's income

A holiday apartment earns more when it fills up in the good weeks at the right price and doesn't sit empty for the rest of the year. To achieve that we work on four fronts:

Seasonal pricing. Different rates for high, mid and low season, reviewed according to actual occupancy in town and the bookings coming in.
Channels. Your apartment appears on the Casa Azahar website and on the holiday rental sites used by our Spanish and international guests, with availability synchronised across all of them.
Mid-season occupancy. April, May, June, September and October are the big opportunity: we attract couples, retired people and foreign markets who travel outside August, for stays of a few nights or a week.
Reviews. Thorough cleaning, check-in without waiting and quick responses lead to good ratings, and good ratings lead to more bookings and better prices.

Legal peace of mind

In the Valencia region, to let a home to tourists for stays of 10 days or fewer you must register it in the Registro de Turismo (tourism register) with a declaración responsable (sworn statement), a favourable municipal planning compatibility report and the prior agreement of the owners' association by a 3/5 majority. Advertising a home that isn't registered is a very serious offence, with fines starting at 100,001 euros.

Casa Azahar handles the registration for you and takes care of the day-to-day obligations: the official plaque, complaint forms, house rules, a 24-hour helpline, cleaning and guest registration. All the requirements are explained in our guide to the tourist rental licence in Alcossebre.

Letting your apartment in Alcossebre without the hassle

Many owners in Alcocéber start by letting to friends and acquaintances themselves and end up spending their own holidays collecting keys, arranging cleaning and answering calls. With a local management company your apartment is still yours: you choose the dates you keep for yourself and we turn the rest of the calendar into income. If you're not sure yet what you need, start with the tourist licence guide or see how guests book in weekly and fortnightly rentals in Alcocéber.
