Property management: a premium service for second homes

In the Côte d’Azur, where second homes, luxury properties, and high-end rentals coexist, real estate services have significantly diversified. Between property management, renovation oversight, Airbnb concierge services, lifestyle concierge, and seasonal rentals, it’s not always easy for property owners to understand the differences and choose the most suitable support.

In sought-after towns like Théoule-sur-Mer, Mandelieu-la-Napoule, Cannes, and the Estérel area, these services respond to a variety of needs: keeping a second home in perfect condition, managing renovations remotely, renting out a property professionally, or offering guests a tailor-made stay.

This article explains the specifics of each service to better understand their purpose, how they work, and their added value.

Renovation management: overseeing your project remotely in Théoule-sur-Mer

Renovation management is ideal for owners who do not live on-site, or for international investors based in the bay of Théoule-sur-Mer or Mandelieu-la-Napoule. It allows for carrying out renovation work without being physically present, while benefiting from transparent and professional oversight.

1. Preparing and structuring the project

• • Consultation with local professionals (builders, painters, plumbers, electricians, glaziers, gardeners, etc.)
• • Analysis and comparison of estimates
• • Support in selecting materials and suppliers
• • Translation and explanation of proposals, especially for English-speaking owners

2. Coordinating the site from start to finish

• • Supervision of progress
• • Monitoring schedule and deadlines
• • Managing interactions between tradespeople
• • Continuous communication with the property owner
• • Acting as a linguistic intermediary when tradespeople do not speak English

This service ensures a smooth and secure renovation — essential in a hilly coastal area where properties require ongoing maintenance.

Airbnb concierge in Théoule-sur-Mer: optimizing short-term rentals

With increasing tourism and high demand for accommodation, Airbnb concierge services have become essential for property owners who want to rent out without the hassle.

There are two main models:

1. Co-host management

This model, often used by freelancers without a professional real estate license, involves managing the listing on behalf of the owner. The owner retains full access, receives payments, and then pays the co-host. It’s simple and convenient, but can be less seamless for guests — especially in high-demand areas where responsiveness is key.

2. Full-service management

An agency or licensed professional manages everything from A to Z:
• • Creation and optimization of the listing
• • Calendar management
• • Guest communication
• • Payment handling
• • Linen and cleaning coordination
• • Deposit handling

Centralized reviews make it easier to achieve Superhost status, increasing visibility and occupancy. This model ensures a consistent, professional service with no involvement required from the property owner.

Luxury concierge: premium services for high-end villas and residences

Luxury concierge services cater to the high-end market: prestige villas, upscale apartments, and exclusive vacation rentals. They are designed for an international clientele seeking a tailored experience.

These services can include:

• • Boat rental or water activities
• • Car rental, private drivers
• • Mid-stay or daily housekeeping
• • Private chef, massages, wellness treatments
• • Premium reservations (restaurants, private beaches, exclusive experiences)
• • Logistics assistance
• • …and sometimes even booking a vet appointment for their dog — because the Côte d’Azur never ceases to surprise 😄

Premium seasonal rentals: a high-end offer for longer stays

Premium seasonal rentals refer to high-end properties rented out for extended stays — typically from one week up to one to three months, depending on the season.

Unlike short-term rentals, these guests are looking for:

• • A dedicated point of contact
• • Personal communication
• • A high level of service
• • Professional and secure property management

That’s why, in this segment, platforms like Airbnb or Booking are often less used.

Guests tend to prefer booking through a real estate agency, offering:

• • Credibility
• • Security
• • Local expertise
• • Transparent contracts
• • Service quality tailored to high-end rental budgets
