Rental management in Fuengirola.

Glaser Group manages holiday rentals in Fuengirola. The Costa del Sol’s most year-round town, with summer families, shoulder short breaks, and a Northern European long-stay winter market that a beach-only town cannot match. We work with owners who want one hands-on manager rather than a rental-pool operation. Initial focus: Los Boliches, Centro y Puerto, Higuerón.

What owners say

The owners we work for. In their own words.

Reviews from property owners whose villas and apartments we manage. Named and verifiable.

We have a few apartments for rent with Glaser Holiday Rentals. We are very satisfied with Maarten and his team. We receive excellent guidance throughout the rental process. We are well provided with all the necessary information and a monthly administrative update. The communication is pleasant. They take very good care of our apartments, tenants, and therefore us as well.

What we do

Full-service rental management. No surprises.

From the first photo to the last guest check-out. Everything you’d expect — and the regulatory work most managers charge extra for.

Listings across platforms
Listings & marketing
Multi-platform distribution
Listings across Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and more — plus the Scandinavian and Dutch direct-booking channels that consistently work for Fuengirola’s long-stay winter market. The seven-kilometre Paseo Marítimo and the Cercanías-to-airport line both belong in the listing copy; we make sure they’re there.
Dynamic pricing dashboard
Dynamic pricing
Powered by PriceLabs
PriceLabs calibrated to Fuengirola: the Los Boliches and Myramar summer peak, the flatter long-stay winter rate, Higuerón’s premium banding handled separately from town-centre apartments. Calibrated to your block, not a Costa del Sol average.
24/7 guest support
24/7 guest support
Multilingual concierge, in person
In-person check-in for every Fuengirola arrival. The Paseo, the train station, the local restaurants — there’s a lot to explain on a guidebook page, and doing it face-to-face lands better. Real human reachable around the clock in the right language.
Cleaning and turnover
Cleaning & turnover
Hotel-grade preparation
Vetted Fuengirola cleaning teams who know the routine: Saturday-Sunday quick turnarounds in summer, deeper resets at long-stay handover, the linen rotation that hotels run and most managers don’t. Quality checks before guests arrive, not after they complain.
VUT licensing paperwork
VUT licensing
All paperwork handled
VUT through the Junta de Andalucía Málaga delegation, N2 filed every February, community-vote work where a Fuengirola block needs it. The national NRUA register was annulled by the Supreme Court in May 2026 and is no longer required.
Monthly owner statements
Owner statements
Monthly transparent reports
Itemised monthly statement for every Fuengirola property. The split between summer short-let weeks and a winter long-stay reads cleanly month over month — owners can see the seasonality of their own block, not a coastline-wide average.

Who we are

Family-run. Hands-on. Honest.

Glaser Group is run by Maarten Glaser from an office in Arroyo de la Miel. Dutch by birth, Costa del Sol by choice, and an Airbnb Superhost on the rental side.

I’m Maarten — Dutch, on the Costa del Sol since 2017. Glaser Group started in 2019 as a real estate business, run from our office in Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena. We extended into Fuengirola because the market is one of the strongest year-round on the Costa del Sol — and because too many owners we knew here were stuck with managers who weren’t paying attention.

Every owner gets a senior member of our team as their direct contact, monthly statements with no surprises, and an honest opinion when something isn’t working. We’re family-run, and an Airbnb Superhost.

“If we wouldn’t recommend a property to a friend, we don’t take it on.”

One point of contact, always

Every Fuengirola owner gets a dedicated senior team member as their direct contact — fifteen minutes up the coast from our Arroyo de la Miel office, train line included, A7 traffic optional. The same voice that answered your discovery call answers your monthly statement question in November.

Monthly statements, owner’s view

Fuengirola statements always lay out who paid what and when. Particularly relevant when your property sits inside a complex like Higuerón with its own community-fee rhythm, or when summer short-let income runs alongside a winter long-stay booking on the same line.

We handle the Fuengirola paperwork

Junta de Andalucía VUT through the Málaga delegation and the February N2 filing. Fuengirola’s town hall is straightforward on most rules but watches noise on busy streets; we check the building’s community statutes before signing anything.

Five-language guest service

Dutch, English, Spanish, German across the team — and beyond. Fuengirola guests skew Finnish and Swedish in winter (the long-stay retiree market), British and Dutch in summer. Higuerón pulls a different mix — younger, multilingual, often family travellers. Every guest answered in their own language.

A good fit, both ways

Fuengirola is one of our active cities — but not every Fuengirola property is a Glaser fit. Some Higuerón sub-blocks restrict short-term let; some studios off Calle Marbella don’t pass the Junta habitability minimums. If your unit hits one of those, we’ll say so up front rather than after a wasted onboarding.

A short letter from the founder

Most rental managers on the Costa del Sol treat your property like inventory. We treat it like the second home you trusted us with — because that’s what it is.

Meet the team

Glaser Group, in person.

A short conversation with Maarten and José about how we work — from our office in Arroyo de la Miel.

What could your property earn?

Instant estimate based on real comparable property data we manage. Calibrated honestly — we’d rather tell you a realistic number than promise more and disappoint.

Your estimate will appear here once you complete the form.

How it works

From first call to first guest — typically 10–14 days.

No pressure, no commitment until you’re ready. We walk the property, run the numbers, explain what we’d do, and only then does a contract exist.

01
Day 0
Discovery call
Thirty minutes on the phone or in person — happy to come to you in Fuengirola, or you to us in Arroyo. You tell us about the property: block, area, current state, expectations. We tell you, honestly, whether it fits the Glaser approach.
02
Day 2–5
Walkthrough & photography
Walkthrough at your Fuengirola property — usually within the week. Inventory, safety check, professional photography. The Paseo and the beach access get their own shots; they’re what books the listing.
03
Day 5–10
Licence & listings
Junta de Andalucía VUT processed through the Málaga delegation, listings live across the major platforms plus our Northern European direct-booking channels for the long-stay angle.
04
Day 10–14
First booking
First Fuengirola guests arrive. In-person check-in. Communication running in whatever languages the bookings demand. Monthly statement starts from the first euro earned.

The VUT rules, simplified

Every holiday rental in Andalusia needs the VUT (Vivienda de Uso Turístico) from the Junta de Andalucía. Since May 2026, following the Spanish Supreme Court's annulment of Royal Decree 1312/2024, the VUT is the only registration that counts. The national NRUA register is no longer required.

The VUT is registered in the name of the rental management company, not the individual owner, so the compliance responsibility sits with us. Straightforward applications can be processed in as little as a day.

If you already hold a valid VUT licence issued before 3 April 2025, it keeps its status under the old rules with no community vote needed. Only new applications in community buildings require a 3/5 majority vote under Ley Orgánica 1/2025, the April 2025 amendment to the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal. Some newer developments prohibit short-term rental entirely.

In Fuengirola specifically: the ayuntamiento processes community-vote paperwork relatively quickly compared to Mijas or Marbella, and Los Boliches and Torreblanca blocks have established precedents for VUT approvals. Higuerón and Myramar developments follow the same standard Junta procedure. Our team files every N2 declaration with the Junta de Andalucía each February.

From our Fuengirola team

Things you only learn by being here.

Genuine local knowledge isn’t a marketing line — it’s the small operational details that compound into better guest reviews and higher annual yield. A few specifics our team works with day-to-day:

Los Boliches

Beachfront blocks here are the rental sweet spot. East-facing units capture the morning sun and tend to outperform west-facing ones for short-stay bookings.

Centro

Walking distance to the train station is the single biggest booking driver. Listings that mention the roughly 34-minute airport access via Cercanías consistently outperform those that don't.

Higuerón

The resort amenities (pools, spa, restaurants) handle a lot of the guest experience. Owners can charge premium rates but the management of community rules is critical.

Torreblanca / Los Pacos

Long-stay winter market is strongest here. Dutch and Scandinavian retirees often book three to six months — different listing strategy from short-let summer.

What we do

Fuengirola vacation rental management — Airbnb, long-stay and short-let.

Fuengirola is the Costa del Sol's most year-round town, which makes it a market where vacation rental management, Airbnb management and long-stay rental can all work well — depending on the property and the owner's goals. Glaser's Fuengirola property management service covers every operational requirement: VUT licensing through the Junta de Andalucía, multi-portal listing on Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and long-stay channels, dynamic pricing on Fuengirola comparables, in-person guest check-in, 24-hour multilingual support, monthly owner statements, and the annual N2 filing. Glaser Group is the holiday rental agency for Fuengirola owners who want active management rather than a passive listing service. Whether you've been searching for a Fuengirola holiday rental agency, a Fuengirola property manager, a Fuengirola Airbnb management company, a vacation rental manager, or long-stay rental management — that's what we handle, daily, from our Arroyo de la Miel office.

Through one of several packages. They differ in how long you commit and how much flexibility you keep, and we lay them side by side when we first speak. The fee then sits on your statement as a separate figure every month.

Listings and pricing, guest messages at any time of day, an in-person check-in for every booking, cleaning, linen, maintenance, guest registration and the monthly owner statement. We also prepare your licence paperwork. Photography and premium linen sets are quoted on their own.

Holiday lets fall under the single Andalusian framework, but Fuengirola's town hall has drawn up its own plans on top of it. We check where your address stands before we file anything, so there are no surprises later.

By submitting a declaración responsable for a VUT to the regional government, as Decreto 31/2024 sets out. We take care of the submission, and once the building's approval is in place the registration is usually confirmed inside a working week.

For a new one, effectively yes. Ley Orgánica 1/2025 gives the owners' community the final word: from 3 April 2025, a fresh holiday let needs a three-fifths majority voting in favour. Properties registered earlier are not caught. We read the community's meeting records before recommending anything.

Not any more. Spain's Supreme Court struck the national register down in May 2026. Booking sites still verify a registration number; in Andalucía, the VUT serves that purpose.

Yes. Send your dates and we keep them free of bookings. Personal use is written into each agreement.

Our team. Each guest is entered in SES.HOSPEDAJES within the legal window of 24 hours from arrival, and the records are kept for the required period.

Monthly, together with a statement for the previous month that lists platform commission, housekeeping, repairs and our fee one by one. It is issued in the first week and paid on the day of issue. A year-end overview comes each January.

Every VUT files a Modelo N2 each February. We can draw it up from your monthly statements as a separately priced service. If you are not a Spanish resident you will also have the Modelo 210, and a gestor we trust can help with it.

Yes. Guest messages are answered at any hour and in several languages, so small questions are settled before they turn into poor reviews.

Along the coast between Málaga and Benahavís, and inland in Coín and the two Alhaurín towns. Beyond that area we do not take on homes, and we will tell you so at once.
