The marina, Sabinillas and the golf behind.
Manilva is the last municipality on the Málaga coast before you cross into Cádiz, and prices here are lower than in the towns to the east. Puerto de la Duquesa is the marina, with apartments built around it. San Luis de Sabinillas is the town along the beach. Behind both are La Duquesa Golf and the hillside developments, and above them the village of Manilva itself with its vineyards.

What looking after a property here actually involves
1
Density
Many of these buildings contain a great many apartments, and a good number of them are let. That means more community decisions that affect you, and more neighbours whose use of their property affects yours.
2
Salt
Close to the water, salt gets into locks, hinges, rails, air-conditioning units and anything metal on a terrace. Left for a season, the corrosion stops being maintenance and becomes replacement.
3
Empty months
Manilva is quieter out of season than the towns further east. A property that nobody enters between November and March shows it by March. Our Comfort and Prestige plans visit twice a month, which across a long winter is the difference between finding something and discovering it.

Choosing between us and a cheaper option
A different thing
There are more property management companies in Manilva than anywhere else we work, and some of them charge very little. We are not complaining about that. For plenty of properties, a low monthly fee and a key held locally are the right answer, and if that is what you want, you do not need us and we will say so.
What we do is a different thing. A visit that happens whether or not anything is wrong. A report with photographs every time. Repairs quoted before they are done. Your post collected and your meters read. A spending limit agreed in writing, so nothing above it happens without you. A scheduled visit every month, and twice a month on the plans built for a property that sits empty. Property Management plans start from EUR 150 per month plus IVA for an apartment, and the plan for your property is set once we have seen it. The difference shows up in the year nothing goes wrong, and in the year something does.
If you want to let it
Check the address, not the town
Manilva lets well in season. Before anyone commits to anything, two things have to be checked for the specific address: what the community has agreed, and whether the town hall has set any limit on tourist homes in that area. Both change, and the answer is the one that is true on the day you ask. Our guide to the tourist rental licence explains the rules.
