Oka Nannys guide · 12 September 2026
Owning a home on the Costa del Sol should be a pleasure. But when you're abroad for months at a time, a property left unchecked can quietly become a worry. Property management exists to take that worry away.
What property management actually covers
Good property management includes key holding, regular checks with photo updates, guest check-in and check-out, pre-arrival preparation, post-departure checks, and coordinating cleaning, housekeeping, maintenance, pool and garden — all through one point of contact.
Why second-home owners need it
An unoccupied villa still needs eyes on it: a leak, a storm, a security issue or simply months of dust don't wait for your next visit. Regular checks catch small problems before they become expensive ones, and mean your home is always ready for you or your guests — aired, clean and welcoming.
How to choose the right people
Look for someone local who actually knows your home, communicates clearly and honestly, is discreet, and can coordinate the trades and services your property needs. A manager who also provides cleaning, housekeeping and childcare can handle everything under one roof — simpler for you.
