Property management in Calahonda is one of the most important decisions for holiday rental owners. Choosing the right company can protect your investment, maximise occupancy, and save you time. But the wrong choice can leave you frustrated with hidden fees, low bookings, or poor communication.
At Kaida Stay, we often meet new clients in Calahonda and nearby areas—Mijas Costa, Mijas Pueblo, La Cala, Marbella, Ojén, Monda, Coín, Alhaurín el Grande, and Alhaurín Golf—who switched to us after disappointing experiences with other managers. Their stories reveal common mistakes to avoid.
Here are the 7 most frequent complaints from owners and how to make sure your property management company doesn’t repeat them.
1. Transparency in Property Management in Calahonda
What owners complain about:
“I never knew what was done, why I was charged, or how my property performed.”
What to look for in Calahonda:
Choose a provider that gives clear financial and occupancy reports. You should know exactly how your property is performing and where your money goes.
How Kaida Stay works:
Monthly financial + occupancy reports, plus transparent maintenance updates for Calahonda and surrounding areas.
2. Overpaying for Repairs and Maintenance
What owners complain about:
“I realised later I had been overcharged for small repairs or replacements.”
What to look for:
Check if the company has an in-house maintenance team or trusted local partners with fair, market-tested pricing.
How Kaida Stay works:
We have our own team in Calahonda and partnerships across Mijas and Marbella. Work is done quickly, at fair prices, without eating your profits. We make sure that property management in Calahonda is not only about renting, but full care including maintenance, repairs and much more.
3. Feeling Like “Just a Number”
What owners complain about:
“Once I signed, I felt forgotten. No one cared if my property performed well.”
What to look for:
Make sure your company treats every property individually and communicates regularly.
How Kaida Stay works:
We prepare and inspect every home after each stay in Calahonda, La Cala, Mijas or other areas we work (as property management in Marbella, Ojen, Monda, Coin, Alhaurin Golf). We share tips to improve performance and keep personal communication. Many owners even meet us for coffee when they’re in town.
4. Owners Still Doing the Work
What owners complain about:
“Even with a management company, I had to deal with insurance, legal issues, or delayed maintenance.”
What to look for:
A good property manager handles everything—insurance, legal tasks, cleaning, and maintenance.
How Kaida Stay works:
In Calahonda and beyond, we take care of it all. Owners simply approve the final decision—we handle the rest.
5. Low Occupancy Rates
What owners complain about:
“The property was just listed on booking platforms and left there. No bookings, only excuses.”
What to look for:
Ask if the company uses dynamic pricing and promotes properties actively, not just on booking sites.
How Kaida Stay works:
We adjust prices for Calahonda’s holiday rental market, promote homes on social media, and optimise listings constantly to maximise occupancy.
6. Cleaning Complaints
What owners complain about:
“Guests complained about cleaning. It hurt reviews and future bookings.”
What to look for:
Choose a company with professional cleaners who treat every stay like a 5-star hotel check-in.
How Kaida Stay works:
Our family cleaning team covers Calahonda, Marbella, and Mijas. We deliver spotless homes every time, plus inspections after each cleaning.
7. Hidden Fees and High Costs
What owners complain about:
“After all the fees, almost nothing was left at the end of the month.”
What to look for:
Management fees should be clear and simple, with no small print.
How Kaida Stay works:
We charge a transparent 15% management fee in Calahonda and surrounding areas. No hidden extras.
Final Tips for Choosing Property Management in Calahonda
