What owners say

The owners we work for. In their own words.

Reviews from property owners whose villas and apartments we manage, verified on Google.

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 to the last guest check-out. Everything you’d expect, plus the regulatory work most managers charge extra for.

Listings across platforms
Listings & marketing
Multi-platform distribution
Listings across Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and more, calibrated to Mijas’s three rental sub-markets. La Cala beachfront speaks to one audience; Mijas Pueblo character properties speak to another. We don’t use one listing template for all three.
Dynamic pricing dashboard
Dynamic pricing
Powered by PriceLabs
PriceLabs calibrated for Mijas: La Cala’s tight summer peak, Mijas Pueblo’s spring/autumn cultural-traveller bump, Riviera del Sol’s golf-driven October-to-April rhythm. Three rate curves, one block at a time.
24/7 guest support
24/7 guest support
Multilingual concierge, in person
In-person check-in for every Mijas guest, whether they’ve booked a coastal apartment, a pueblo townhouse, or a golf villa. Real human reachable around the clock in the right language. The mountain-village key handover gets done in person; the urbanisation gate gets explained, not screenshotted.
Cleaning and turnover
Cleaning & turnover
Hotel-grade preparation
Vetted Mijas cleaning teams across all three sub-markets: coastal turnover crews, pueblo-village specialists, golf-villa teams used to larger properties. Quality checks before every booking; the maintenance flag goes in before the guest finds it.
VUT licensing paperwork
VUT licensing
All paperwork handled
VUT through the Junta de Andalucía Málaga delegation, N2 filed every February. Mijas\u2019s strict 3/5 community-vote enforcement means we run those conversations carefully; sometimes the answer is a prepared owner-meeting submission, sometimes it\u2019s a quiet step away.
Monthly owner statements
Owner statements
Monthly transparent reports
Itemised monthly statement for every Mijas property. The three Mijas sub-markets each have their own seasonality; we don’t blend them. Coastal, pueblo and golf-belt income lines stay separate.

Maarten Glaser, founder of Glaser Group
Maarten Glaser
Founder & Director
GIPE CEPI Since 2019
Who we are

Family-run. Hands-on. Honest.

Glaser Group is run by Maarten Glaser from an office in Arroyo de la Miel, ten minutes from most properties we manage. Dutch by birth, Costa del Sol by choice. GIPE and CEPI accredited on the real estate side.

I’m Maarten. Dutch, on the Costa del Sol since 2017. Glaser Group started in 2019 as a real estate business, run from our office in Arroyo de la Miel. Mijas is one of three cities where we actively manage holiday rentals.

Every 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. We’re family-run, and an Airbnb Superhost.

“If we wouldn’t recommend a property to a friend, we don’t take it on.”

One point of contact, always

Every Mijas owner (coastal, pueblo or golf belt) gets a dedicated senior team member as their direct contact. Twenty minutes from the Arroyo de la Miel office to most Mijas properties. The same person at the discovery call is the same person on the December community-vote follow-up.

Monthly statements, owner’s view

Mijas statements have to read across three sub-markets: coastal short-let, pueblo character properties, golf-belt year-round. The split is on the line: a La Cala summer peak, a Mijas Pueblo shoulder run, a Riviera del Sol golf winter. Owners see the rhythm of their own property.

We handle the Mijas paperwork

Junta de Andalucía VUT through the Málaga delegation. The annual N2 filing. Mijas municipality is among the strictest enforcers of the 3/5 community-vote rule on the coast; we verify community statutes before onboarding, every time, and that\u2019s saved owners from buying into a building that would later vote prohibition.

Five-language guest service

Dutch, English, Spanish, German across the team. Mijas guest profile shifts by sub-market: La Cala beachfront leans family British and Scandinavian in summer, Mijas Pueblo pulls older European cultural travellers in shoulder months, the golf belt brings consistent European groups October through April.

A good fit, both ways

Mijas is one of our active cities. But the strict community-vote enforcement means not every Mijas property has a viable VUT path. If your block is in one of the developments where the 3/5 has already been triggered, we’ll tell you at the walkthrough, not three months in.

A short letter from the founder

Most rental managers on the Costa del Sol treat your property like inventory. We treat it like the second home you trusted us with, because that’s what it is.

Meet the team

Glaser Group, in person.

A short conversation with Maarten and José about how we work, from our office in Arroyo de la Miel.

What could your property earn?

Instant estimate based on real comparable property data we manage. Calibrated honestly: we’d rather tell you a realistic number than promise more and disappoint.

Your estimate will appear here once you complete the form.

How it works

From first call to first guest. Typically 10–14 days.

No pressure, no commitment until you’re ready. We walk the property, run the numbers, explain what we’d do, and only then does a contract exist.

01
Day 0
Discovery call
Thirty minutes on the phone or in person. Happy to meet you at the property in La Cala, in Mijas Pueblo, or up at La Cala golf, or you visit our Arroyo office. We tell you up front whether the Glaser approach fits your sub-market.
02
Day 2–5
Walkthrough & photography
Walkthrough at the Mijas property within the week. Inventory, safety check, professional photography. We also pull the community statutes for the building before onboarding. Mijas community-vote enforcement makes the statute check more useful than the photos.
03
Day 5–10
Licence & listings
Junta de Andalucía VUT verified or applied for. Where the building\u2019s 3/5 community vote is required for a new licence, we plan that submission carefully before listings go live. Listings published across all major platforms once the licence is in.
04
Day 10–14
First booking
First Mijas guest arrives. In-person check-in at the door. Communication running in whatever languages the bookings demand. Monthly statement begins, with the sub-market split clear from week one.

The VUT rules, simplified

Every holiday rental on the Costa del Sol needs the Andalucian VUT (Vivienda de Uso Turístico). The national NRUA number, introduced by Royal Decree 1312/2024 and briefly in force from 1 July 2025, was annulled by the Spanish Supreme Court in May 2026 and is no longer required. The VUT is again the only registration platforms verify.

The VUT is registered in the name of the rental management company, not the individual owner, which means the compliance responsibility sits with us, not you. Straightforward applications can be processed in as little as a day.

If you already hold a valid VUT licence, it keeps its status under the old rules; no community vote needed. Only new applications in community buildings require a 3/5 majority vote under the April 2025 reform of the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal (Ley Orgánica 1/2025). Some newer developments prohibit short-term rental entirely.

In Mijas specifically: the municipality enforces community-vote rules more strictly than most Costa del Sol councils, so we verify each community's rules before onboarding. La Cala de Mijas and Riviera del Sol blocks have established precedents for VUT approvals. Calahonda and the Mijas Costa golf belt follow the standard Junta procedure, while Mijas Pueblo's village-character properties are handled case-by-case. Our team files every N2 declaration with the Junta de Andalucía each February.

Key facts

As little as 1 day
Straightforward VUT licences can be issued inside a day. 2–5 days is typical.
Our name, not yours
The VUT is registered in the management company\u2019s name, not the owner\u2019s. Compliance responsibility sits with us.
3/5 majority
Community vote required only for new licence applications. Existing licences keep their status under the old rules.
Annually
N2 report due every February; we file for every property we manage.

We are extremely satisfied with the service provided by Glaser Holiday Rentals. They manage our apartment in Mijas, and everything is always handled to perfection. The communication with Maarten is excellent, professional, fast, and clear. Jose and Paloma do an amazing job. Their cleaning partner also consistently does an amazing job; the apartment is always spotless and perfectly prepared, which makes a big difference for guest satisfaction.

From our Mijas team

Things you only learn by being here.

Genuine local knowledge isn’t a marketing line. It’s the small operational details that compound into better guest reviews and higher annual yield. A few specifics our team works with day-to-day:

La Cala de Mijas

Beachfront here is the rental sweet spot. Front-line apartments rent year-round; second-line drops 25-35% in winter. We tell owners which is which honestly.

Mijas Pueblo

The mountain village: tourism gold but tricky logistics. Cars don’t fit the streets, so guest parking and luggage handling matter more than in coastal areas.

Mijas Golf / Riviera

Golf-belt properties peak October–April, opposite to the coastal pattern. Owners who buy here for summer rental will be disappointed; those who buy for autumn-spring won’t.

Las Lagunas

Residential, walkable, less touristed. Long-stay winter market is genuine here. Northern European retirees like the everyday Spanish-town feel.

Glaser offers several Mijas management packages. Each pairs a commitment length with a different balance of flexibility, and the right pick depends on whether you're running coastal short-let or golf-belt year-round. We walk you through the options at the discovery call so you pick by sub-market, not by guesswork.

Yes. Owner-use blocks are standard. In Mijas the typical owner pattern splits two ways: golf-belt owners take 2-3 weeks in October-November, La Cala and Riviera del Sol coastal owners take 6-8 weeks across June-August. Tell us your dates and we block the calendar before the listing goes live. Reasonable owner usage is built into every Glaser management agreement; your property stays yours.

You don't until we've worked together. What we promise up front: a senior team member as your direct contact, a Mijas monthly statement that ties out, and an honest no when we're not the right manager for your block. Mijas community-vote rules mean we say no more often here than in some cities.

We actively manage in Mijas alongside Benalmádena (our home city) and Fuengirola. These three cities form our daily operational triangle from the Arroyo de la Miel office. We also manage in Marbella, Torremolinos, Málaga and Benahavís. If your property is in any of those seven, or inland in Coín, Alhaurín el Grande or Alhaurín de la Torre, we'll route you to the right Glaser Group team. Properties outside the Costa del Sol: we don't operate there and we'll say so.

Yes. At the discovery call. We share comparable figures for similar Mijas units, separated by sub-market: La Cala coastal, Mijas Pueblo, golf-belt. Mixing those three would distort the picture, so we keep them apart. Real numbers, real dates.

We onboard at handover or within three months of keys. Before that we can advise on Mijas-specific rental-readiness, particularly which urbanisations have a clean 3/5 community-vote position and which are watching neighbours vote prohibition. Formal management starts when the keys are in your hand.

Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and more. Mijas's golf-belt audience leans heavily on direct-booking and repeat guest channels rather than first-time Airbnb finds; we lean into that. Direct bookings come through this site and the Costa del Sol umbrella.

Different sub-markets, different low-season patterns. Coastal Mijas is steadier than pure short-let towns thanks to Northern European long-stay. Mijas Pueblo's shoulder seasons are often its strongest: spring and autumn cultural travellers. Golf-belt is October-April. We pick the mix per property; there isn't one Mijas low-season strategy.

When the community of owners has voted in favour of short-term rental, or where the property is an individual freehold villa with no community vote required, the Junta de Andalucía declaración responsable typically processes in 1-5 working days. The same Andalusian regional process under Decreto 31/2024 applies in Mijas as elsewhere on the Costa del Sol. The community vote itself is a separate prerequisite, not part of the licence-processing time.

Yes, the 3/5 community-of-owners rule applies in Mijas, as it does across Andalucía under the April 2025 amendment to the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal: a three-fifths majority vote is required in community buildings before any new VUT licence can be granted. Existing licences from before April 2025 are grandfathered. We don't keep a city-wide registry of how each comunidad has voted. Vote positions change and the only authoritative source is each comunidad's own meeting minutes. For every property we consider managing, we read those minutes to confirm the current position before recommending short-let as the operational plan.

No longer. The NRUA (Número de Registro Único de Alquiler) was the national rental register created by Royal Decree 1312/2024 and required from July 2025, but the Supreme Court annulled it in May 2026, holding that the State lacked the competence to create it. Booking platforms must still verify a valid registration number, and in Andalucía that number is your VUT. We handle the VUT registration at onboarding as part of the management package, not charged separately.

Owner statements are issued in the first week of each month for the previous month's reservations. Each statement breaks out platform commission, cleaning, maintenance, and our management fee separately so you can see exactly where the gross income goes. Bank transfers go out the same day the statement is issued. Year-end summaries are prepared every January for the Spanish tax year and sent to your gestor or accountant on request.

Yes. Every guest stay in a VUT property must be registered with the Guardia Civil under the SES.HOSPEDAJES system within 24 hours of arrival. We handle this for every Glaser-managed property; it's not work the owner needs to do. Failure to register guests is one of the most common causes of municipal fines for owners self-managing in Mijas. The system requires guest passport details and stay dates; everything is logged and we keep records for the legal retention period.

Glaser's Mijas management package is end-to-end: operational services that Spanish municipal law and platform algorithms both require, all included in one fee. Specifically: VUT licensing through the Junta de Andalucía · multi-portal listing on Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and more · dynamic pricing calibrated on Mijas comparables · guest enquiries and 24-hour multilingual support · in-person check-in (we don't use lockboxes) · welcome basket · SES.HOSPEDAJES traveller registration · cleaning · linen · maintenance coordination · monthly owner statements with platform fees broken out. Photography and professional linen sets are quoted separately at onboarding.

Yes. Every VUT property is required to file the Modelo N2 declaration with the Junta de Andalucía each February for the previous year, and we prepare the filing alongside your monthly statements through the year so the data is ready when February comes. The N2 filing is a separately-quoted service rather than included in the standard management fee. For non-Spanish-resident owners, we also flag the Modelo 210 annual non-resident income tax requirement and route you to a Spanish gestor if you don't already have one.
