Letting your apartment with us

There are essentially three dimensions to our work. Firstly, we work with property owners who want to earn from their apartment in the holiday rental market. Secondly, we find the holidaymakers to stay in it. And thirdly, we make sure everything in between runs smoothly, from the booking to the moment the guest hands back the keys.

Doing this well, for owner and holidaymaker alike, needs excellence on two fronts. On the one hand, the tools to reach the market, be seen in it and handle one booking after another. On the other hand, and just as vital, spotless cleaning, attentive maintenance and memorable guest care.

At Algarve Beach Apartments, this is our bread and butter. We are a family business and have been looking after holidaymakers in the Algarve since 2010. Today we let and look after 40 apartments in Albufeira, at Clube do Monaco, Parque da Corcovada et Quinta da Barracuda.

Rental management

Being seen in the online holiday rental market really is the be-all and end-all of this business. Without it, every other effort is wasted.

We have our own website for the apartments we manage, algarvebeachapartments.com, live for over a decade. Guests search it, book and pay on it, and manage everything about their stay there afterwards, from their guest list to their airport transfer. In 2025, 33% of our guest stays were booked on it, and on those no platform takes a fee.

We also list every apartment on Airbnb, Booking.com et Vrbo, with its calendar kept in step with ours. This lets us keep reaching new guests, and turn first-time guests into ones who come back year after year.

We keep a sharp eye on prices in the area and set yours to attract interest without giving nights away. In winter, stays of a month or more earn a discount of 10% to 50%, which keeps apartments full in the quieter months. And a last-minute discount of up to 10% fills nights that would otherwise go empty.

Our rental management is many-sided and flexible, but what we charge for it is very straightforward: a commission on the rental, the amount the guest pays for the nights. Below is how much, with the example of a guest paying a rental of €500.00.

Property management

This is where many owners end up going wrong. Whether through inexperience, or by trying to save a few euros on cleaning and maintenance, a poor decision here can quickly bring everything else tumbling down.

We take great pride in our cleaning and in our hands-on attention to every apartment. There is nothing worse for a holidaymaker than walking into a poorly cleaned apartment, being met by no one, or finding the electricity cut off halfway through their stay with nobody to turn to.

We work with care and forethought to keep the highest standards of cleanliness and guest care. We come with a trolley-full of tools and products, ready for the greasiest oven and for the great enemy of the wet season: damp.

We can set the apartment up with internet television, get keys cut, arrange painting and maintenance, deal with the utility companies for you, and buy and replace anything faulty or broken.

For the guest, we have set check-in and check-out times, but do everything we can to let them in as soon as the apartment is ready and to give them a later departure. Each arrival finds a courtesy starter pack, with washing-up materials and toilet paper. Guests can add an airport transfer, a welcome pack of food and drink, and a cot and high chair, all from their booking on our website.

We work tirelessly to give owner and holidaymaker alike peace of mind.

Property management fees

Your own Owner Suite

Every owner we work with has their own login to our website, where everything about their apartment is in one place, at any hour:

• Reports. Every booking, what the guest paid, our commission and fees, and what you receive from it.
• Calendar. Who is staying and when, across every platform and our own website.
• Your own stays. Block the dates you want for yourself or your family, in a few clicks.
• Guests and feedback. Who is coming, and what guests said once their stay was over.
• Payouts and statements. What we have paid you and when, with the invoices and statements behind it.

What could your apartment earn?

Tell us about your apartment and we will show you what the owners of apartments like it received in 2025, from the apartments we let and look after.

Based on the 22 apartments we let for most of 2025: with us from the start of the season, and with their owners keeping no more than 60 nights for themselves. An estimate, not a promise: the prices you choose, the time you keep for yourself and every new year change it.

Setting up

Health and safety equipment

The Alojamento Local law asks every holiday apartment to have the equipment below. We can supply and fit all of it from a tried and tested supplier, for about €280,00 in all, materials, buying and fitting included.

• Fire extinguisher, with its sign and a sign on how to use it
• Fire blanket, with its sign
• First aid kit, with its sign
• No smoking and no noise signs
• Emergency number (112) and emergency exit signs
• Electricity board sign
• Outdoor plaque declaring the AL property

Required inventory

Every apartment we let must have everything on this list before its first guest arrives, and keep it in good order from then on. It is what our guests expect to find. We can buy anything that is missing or replace anything broken for you.

Nous contacter

Our task is simple: to bring as many guests as possible through your door, and to give every one of them an unforgettably smooth and relaxed holiday. That takes three things: being seen in the market, superb care of the apartment, and unbeatable guest support. Our package is the result of years of experimenting and refining, and we are proud of it.
