Every empty night in peak season is money you don't get back.

Ask every company the same questions. Who writes your listing, and which booking sites will it go on? Who changes your prices day to day, and how often? What exactly is the fee, and what gets charged on top? Who is physically on the island when a guest gets locked out at 11pm? How much notice to leave, and are there exit fees? A good manager answers all of that in writing before you sign.

I look at your listing the way a guest does, then the way the booking sites do. You get an estimate of what the property could earn across a full year, a check of your prices against similar villas nearby for the coming peak season, a list of the empty dates that should have been booked, and the three changes I'd make first. It's yours to keep, whether you work with us or not.

One fee, agreed in writing before anything starts, with every extra listed on the same page. Your monthly statement shows each booking, each cost and what you were paid, so there's nothing to work out yourself. I'll give you the exact figure after the review, once I know the property and what it needs.

Yes, and most owners who come to us already have one. We read your current agreement first so you know the notice period, then plan the handover so future bookings carry over and guests aren't disturbed. The review is a good way to see whether switching is worth it before you commit to anything.

You get a statement every month showing bookings, nights filled, the rate achieved, costs and your payout. Our team is on the island for check-ins, cleans and repairs, and you can reach me directly on WhatsApp. I run Short Stay, a short-let company in the UK, so I know what owners need to see from a distance.

We set every booking up so the Tourism Guest Levy is collected, and we keep the booking and payment records that ABST filing needs. The Inland Revenue Department has been reminding short-term rental owners to register and file, so getting this right protects you as well as your income.
