Due to the size of our property portfolio and the consistent quality of our service, Pass the Keys was invited to become an official Airbnb co-host in 2018.
This exclusive status provided Pass the Keys with a key account manager and direct integration with their systems so that we could dynamically update pricing, report on guest behaviour and other key metrics. We have retained our advantages as a valued partner even though Airbnb has now withdrawn the program (2022).

We manage every stage of the booking process, including guest enquiries, screening, holiday rental contracts, police registration requirements, check-ins, check-outs, professional cleaning, and 24/7 guest support. Our team also uses dynamic pricing technology to optimise your nightly rates based on demand, seasonality, and occupancy trends.
In addition to day-to-day management, we help property owners create high-performing listings across platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com. This includes professional photography, listing optimisation, and guidance on obtaining your VFT licence and other legal requirements for holiday rentals in Marbella.
Marbella continues to see strong growth in the vacation rental market, driven by year-round tourism and international demand. Compared with traditional long-term rentals, short-term lets can offer significantly higher earning potential and greater flexibility for property owners who still want access to their home throughout the year.
Our local team also helps protect and maintain your property through regular inspections, verified guest screening, and ongoing maintenance coordination. Every booking is carefully managed to help ensure your property remains secure, well maintained, and ready for guests at all times.
Whether you own a beachfront apartment, holiday villa, or investment property, Pass the Keys Marbella offers reliable, hands-free Airbnb management designed to help you earn more from your short-term rental.
