In short: AlicanteStay is a holiday rental manager in Villajoyosa for 14 % + VAT of what you collect. We look after listings, pricing, guests, cleaning and maintenance; you collect the booking payments directly from the platforms. We look after guests from 6:00 to 21:30. The first 3 months are a start-up period, and after that there is no minimum term: you just give 30 days’ notice.
To market a holiday rental in Villajoyosa, the description of the property should help guests decide whether it suits their stay. AlicanteStay reviews the presentation and the operations so that the listing does not depend on clarifying messages after booking.
Explain the layout and access transparently
If the property has stairs, bedrooms on different levels or particular access arrangements, show them and explain them. Avoid terms such as “accessible” without having checked the specific conditions. Photographs of living rooms and bedrooms should make the layout clear, and the amenities advertised must match the property. An honest presentation reduces the risk of disappointment caused by wrong expectations.
Practical checks before you take bookings
| Aspect | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Steps, lift and the route with luggage. | Flag any relevant limitations. |
| Layout | Floors and how the rooms relate to each other. | Show how the property is used. |
| Equipment | Amenities and real capacity. | Keep the listing consistent with the booking. |
How we manage your property
First we review the condition of the property, the listing if one already exists, and the tasks you want to delegate. Then we agree the preparation, the calendar and the coordination of cleaning and guest support. For a new property, coverage is confirmed based on the address and operational needs.
Management includes guest support from 6:00 to 21:30 and distribution on 20 portals, including Airbnb, Booking, Agoda and Vrbo. We use advanced AI tools and a manual price review every day. We do not promise a fixed occupancy level: the result also depends on the property, demand and the dates available.
What we need for an assessment
Send the location, capacity, bed layout, current photographs and the dates you use the property yourself. If the property is already active, add upcoming bookings and information on income and costs. With that data, scenarios can be compared; without it, a yield figure would not be very useful.
Before you start letting, check that the property is suitable and which requirements apply. You can read the guide to procedures and documentation. For day-to-day operations, see booking management and dynamic pricing.
Holiday rental management with clear costs and reporting
AlicanteStay offers all-inclusive holiday rental management for 14 % + VAT. The owner collects payment directly from the platforms and pays our fee after having been paid. Before you sign, we agree the calculation basis, the tax treatment and the services specific to the property.

|---|---|
| Holiday rental management | 14 % + VAT; scope and terms set out in the proposal. |
| Cleaning | From €35, depending on the size and needs of the property. |
| Laundry | From €25, all inclusive. |

Cleaning and laundry are added to the price guests pay when they book. Renovations, maintenance work and decoration are priced according to the job: we do not treat a works budget as included in the commission. See plans and pricing.

We review the starting point and your needs with you in order to prepare a proposal. The scope is set according to the property; it is not a guarantee of income.
