Why owners choose RivaStay
We combine local, on-the-ground management with the marketing reach of a full-scale rental operation.
Higher occupancy, better rates
Dynamic pricing tools and distribution across Airbnb, Booking.com and our own direct-booking site keep your calendar full at the right price, every season.
Guests and cleaning, fully handled
Check-ins, guest messaging, cleaning and linen turnover between every stay are coordinated by our local team — you're never the one fielding a 2am message.
Transparent payouts
Real-time access to your booking calendar and earnings. Monthly statements, no hidden fees, and you can see exactly what each stay earned.
Your property, protected
Verified guests, damage deposits and cleaning-standard checks after every stay, so your property is looked after like it's still yours to live in.
Local Costa del Sol team
We're based here — Mijas, Marbella, Fuengirola, Estepona and Torremolinos — and know what makes each area's guests book.
No long-term lock-in
Start with a trial period. If RivaStay isn't earning its keep, you're free to leave — we'd rather earn your trust than hold you to a contract.
How it works
From first call to first booking, most owners are live within two to three weeks.

We assess your property's earning potential based on location, size and comparable listings nearby.
Onboarding & styling
Professional photography, listing copy, and setup across booking channels — handled for you.

Prefer longer-term tenants over nightly guests?
We also manage monthly and long-term rentals — steady income, far fewer turnovers.
Trusted by owners across the Costa del Sol
"I used to spend hours coordinating cleaners and answering guest messages. Now I just get a report every month and a deposit."
"Occupancy went up noticeably in the first season. The pricing tool clearly knows the local market better than I did."
"What I appreciated most was the transparency — I can see every booking and exactly what it earned."
Frequently asked questions
Do I lose control of my property?
No. You set the house rules, block owner-use dates any time, and approve major decisions. We handle day-to-day operations, not ownership decisions.
What areas do you cover?
We currently manage properties in Mijas, Marbella, Estepona, Fuengirola and Torremolinos, with room to expand across the wider Costa del Sol.
How is pricing determined?
Our management fee is a percentage of booking revenue, so the exact rate depends on your property type and the services you need. We'll give you a specific quote at your free valuation.
Can I still use my property myself?
Absolutely — just block your dates in the shared calendar and the listing updates automatically across all channels.
Is my property eligible?
Most apartments and villas suitable for short-term rental qualify. We'll confirm licensing requirements (VUT registration) for your municipality during the valuation.
