What owners say

The owners we work for. In their own words.

Reviews from property owners whose villas and apartments we manage. Named and verifiable.

We have a few apartments for rent with Glaser Holiday Rentals. We are very satisfied with Maarten and his team. We receive excellent guidance throughout the rental process. We are well provided with all the necessary information and a monthly administrative update. The communication is pleasant. They take very good care of our apartments, tenants, and therefore us as well.

What we do

Full-service rental management. No surprises.

From the first photo of the finca to the last guest driving away. The usual services, and the regulatory paperwork that most managers charge on top for.

Listings & marketing

Multi-platform distribution

Distribution across Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO, plus our direct-booking channel. Rural-finca listings get lifestyle-led copy (citrus harvest, olive grove, walking trails into the Sierra de Mijas) instead of the generic "casa de campo" template most managers default to. Re-tuned through the season as Sunday-market weekends, snowbird windows and Spanish-summer demand shift.

Dynamic pricing

PriceLabs calibrated for Coín: longer minimum-stay rules on snowbird weeks (October–March), short two-night Sunday-market premiums in spring and autumn, summer family-week pricing on fincas with pools. Daily rate review against the small but specific Coín comparable set, not coastal-market averages.

24/7 guest support

In-person concierge, multilingual

In-person check-in for every arrival. Rural fincas off unmarked tracks don’t survive a lockbox handover, and Coín’s campo addresses confuse rental-car GPS reliably. A real person meets the guest, explains the well, the pool pump, the bin schedule, the bread van times. Reachable around the clock in Dutch, English, Spanish and German.

Cleaning & turnover

Hotel-grade preparation

Vetted Coín-based cleaning and linen teams who know the local stock: campo properties with septic tanks, plunge pools, wood-burning fires in the cortijos that need ash clearing through winter. Maintenance issues caught at handover, not by the next guest landing tired off a Málaga airport hire car.

VUT licensing

All paperwork handled

VUT handled through the Málaga office of the Junta de Andalucía. The single biggest Coín onboarding question is rural-finca DAFO status. Many older campo builds (and most pre-1990 cortijos) were never fully registered, and need the DAFO process closed before a VUT licence is filable. We coordinate with a local lawyer on every rural-finca onboarding before any contract is signed.

Owner statements

Monthly transparent reports

Itemised monthly statement for every Coín property: gross rental, platform commission, cleaning, water (which matters on Coín fincas in summer), garden and pool service where applicable, management fee. Owner-use windows clearly blocked, often around Semana Santa or August when Coín owners want their own campo escape. Year-end summary in January for the Spanish tax year.

Maarten Glaser

Founder & Director

Airbnb Superhost Rentals since 2025

Who we are

Family-run. Hands-on. Honest.

Glaser Group is run by Maarten Glaser from an office in Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena. Born in the Netherlands, settled on the Costa del Sol by choice. Glaser Real Estate (the brokerage side) was founded in 2019; the rental management division (Glaser Holiday Homes SL) runs short-term rental and property management across the coastal strip and inland into the Guadalhorce valley, with Coín as the inland-network anchor. We hold Airbnb Superhost status on the rental side.

Coín is not the coast. The owner economics here run on weekend market traffic, long snowbird winters in the campo, and the agritourism guest who specifically does not want a beachfront block of flats. That changes how we price, how we photograph, and which platforms we lean on. We don’t try to make rural fincas read like Marbella penthouses. We lean into what Coín actually is.

Every Coín owner gets a senior member of our team as their direct contact, monthly statements with no surprises, and an honest opinion when something isn’t working. Family-run, hands-on, and built for owners who want the agritourism, snowbird and Sunday-market segments worked properly, not bolted onto a coastal playbook.

“If we would not recommend a finca to a friend, we do not take it on.”

One contact from start to finish

Every Coín owner gets a senior team member as their direct contact. Same voice when the discovery call happens, same voice when the first year-end statement lands. That’s deliberate. Rural inland portfolios are too small for a swap-the-account-manager model to make sense.

Monthly statements for owners

Itemised monthly statement for every Coín property: gross rental income, comunidad fees where applicable, water (relevant on Coín’s rural fincas in summer), cleaning and turnover, platform commission and management fee all shown separately. Year-end summary in January for the Spanish tax year, ready for the gestor.

Coín paperwork, taken off your hands

Junta de Andalucía VUT through the Málaga delegation and SES.HOSPEDAJES within 24 hours of every check-in. For Coín specifically the harder piece is upstream: rural-finca DAFO status, irregular building registrations, water-rights and access verification before licensing is viable. We coordinate with a local lawyer on every rural-finca onboarding.

Multilingual guest service

Dutch, English, Spanish and German are spoken across the team. The Coín guest mix skews towards Northern-European snowbirds, Dutch and German weekend escapers, and Spanish families from Málaga and Sevilla in summer; every message goes to a real person who actually speaks the guest’s language.

A fit that works both ways

We open for Coín owners who want the agritourism, snowbird and weekend-market segments worked properly. We say no when a property would need so much retrofit (broken pool, no DAFO, illegal extension) that we couldn’t honestly project a return, with the reason given.

A word from the founder

Short-term rental and property management for the Guadalhorce valley’s market town: fincas in the campo, cortijos above the river, apartments around the Sunday market. Listings, pricing, guest support, and the full back-office under one roof.

Your estimate

What could your finca or house earn?

Instant, using comparable data for Coín fincas and town homes. Calibrated honestly. We’d rather tell you a realistic number than promise more and disappoint.

Your estimate shows in this space once the form is complete.

How it works

First call to first finca guest — usually 10 to 14 days.

No rush and no commitment until you’re ready. We walk the finca or house, run the numbers and explain the approach, and only then sign anything.

Day 0

Discovery call

Thirty minutes on the phone or in person, often at the office in Arroyo de la Miel, or out at the property if you’re in the casco, on the residential slopes above town, or out at a campo finca in the valley. We talk through where short-term rental sits for your property: summer-only family rental, snowbird long-stays through winter, weekend-only around the Sunday market, or a year-round hybrid.

Day 2–5

Walkthrough & photography

Walkthrough wherever the property sits: casco apartment off Plaza Alameda, urbanisation villa, campo finca off an unsealed track. Inventory, safety check, professional photography (rural-finca shoots are timed for golden-hour citrus light, not midday). DAFO status, comunidad position and water-rights checks run in parallel where they apply.

Day 5–10

Licence & listings

Junta de Andalucía VUT verified (or filed via declaración responsable). If DAFO, illegal-extension regularisation or water-rights work has to close first, that conversation closes before listings go live. Coín launches are deliberate. There’s no upside to fast-tracking a rural finca onto Airbnb if the underlying paperwork isn’t sound.

Day 10–14

First booking

First guests arrive, usually flown into Málaga airport (30 minutes), met at the property in person. For rural fincas that means a proper walk-around: pool, well or mains water, septic system, wood-burner, mosquito screens. Multilingual support runs through the stay. Monthly statement begins from week one.

Regional licensing

The VUT rules, step by step

A holiday let in Coín, finca or town house, needs the Andalusian VUT (Vivienda de Uso Turístico). The national NRUA number introduced by Royal Decree 1312/2024 was annulled by the Supreme Court in May 2026, leaving the VUT as the only registration platforms verify. It is no longer required.

In simple cases, processing can take just one day.

If you already hold a valid VUT licence, it keeps its status under the old rules. No vote by the community is needed. Only new applications in community buildings require a 3/5 majority vote under the April 2025 LPH amendment. Existing licences from before that date are grandfathered.

Coín sits under the same Andalusian framework as the coast: Decreto 31/2024 and registration in the RTA. What usually takes more time here is the property itself, because a finca or cortijo in the campo needs its paperwork in order before any VUT is filed, so we review that with the owner first.

The full VUT guide →

Key facts

As quick as 1 day

In simple cases a VUT is issued inside a day; usually it takes two to five days.

Within 24 hours

SES.HOSPEDAJES guest registration is filed for every stay, so the paperwork does not land on you.

3/5 majority

Only a new licence application triggers the community vote. Existing licences stay as they are, under the old rules.

Taking on owners

Coín owners, we have room.

We’re opening for a small set of Coín properties: fincas and cortijos in the campo, casco apartments around Iglesia de San Juan and Iglesia Santa María, townhouses and villas on the residential slopes above the old town. The right Coín owner is someone who already loves the rhythm of the place: the Sunday market, the orange harvest, the bone-quiet snowbird winters, and who wants a manager who treats those as features, not problems to design around. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back honestly within four working hours.
