Listings That Tell the Truth
Photographs are taken with a standard lens from where a person would stand, floor plans show the real room sizes, and the description states the actual walking distance to the beach, the number of stairs, whether there is a lift, how much noise the street carries in August and what the view from each window is. If a flat is dark in the afternoon or the second bedroom has no window, that is written in the listing. The result is very few complaints on arrival, which is worth more to us than a booking made on a misleading photograph.
Two Kinds of Water
The lagoon behind the sandbar is warm, shallow and wave-free, which makes it genuinely safe for small children and ideal for paddleboards, kayaks and swimming lessons. Two hundred metres away the open beach has surf, space and a horizon. Families with children of different ages can therefore use both within a single afternoon, and adults who want a long swim are not restricted to a crowded shallow bay. Every property we let is within a few minutes of both.
Keys Handed Over in Person
Somebody meets every arrival, shows the flat, explains the heating, the waste collection, the parking and the beach access, and hands over a printed guide with the numbers that matter. Late arrivals are expected rather than penalised. If something is wrong, it is dealt with the same evening rather than after an exchange of messages with a platform. Guests staying a second time can request the same welcome, which regular visitors invariably do.
Equipped for Real Stays
Kitchens have a full-sized oven, a sharp knife, enough pans and crockery for the number of beds plus two, a coffee maker and a washing machine. Bathrooms have a hairdryer and somewhere to hang wet swimwear. Every property holds beach towels, a parasol, a cool box, buckets and spades, a drying rack and a pump for inflatables. Cots, high chairs, stair gates and bed guards are free. These small things are the difference between a rented room and a place a family can live in for two weeks.
Long Stays Out of Season
From October to May the same apartments are let by the month at a fraction of the summer rate, with heating included, weekly cleaning available, a proper desk in several properties and fast connections throughout. Winter guests are mostly remote workers, writers and retired couples escaping colder places, and the towns stay open around them: the bakery, the fish market and two restaurants in each town trade all year. Extensions are usually possible in the same flat rather than requiring a move.
Owners Kept Informed
Owners receive a monthly statement listing every booking, payout and expense with receipts attached, plus photographs after each departure and a maintenance log for the property. Our commission is a single published percentage covering letting, guest handling and coordination; maintenance is billed at agreed rates with materials at cost and no hidden margin. Personal use can be blocked at any time through a live calendar, and the arrangement can be ended with two months' notice and a complete handover file.
