Where it all began.
Casa Sunrise in Calpe is our own home. The first property we made perform the way we now do for others.
Three years of optimising, and we still adjust every day. The market changes every season, after all.
A house with a view, and a question
We bought Casa Sunrise because we fell in love with the view from the rooftop terrace. Enjoying it ourselves and making it pay while we're away — that was the plan. The answer turned out to be more complicated than we thought. Guests who needed something late at night. A cleaner cancelling on a Saturday morning. And prices we basically set by feel: too low in August, too high in October.
What we built
We figured it out the way you do when you really want to know: test, measure, adjust. More than ten sales channels instead of one, from Booking and Airbnb to Google Vacation Rentals. Our own booking site alongside them, so returning guests can book directly with us. Better photos and better copy, because that's where every booking starts. Prices that move daily with demand, season and events. And a permanent local team, so guests are always welcomed by the same people.
What it delivered
Casa Sunrise now runs all year round, with an occupancy we thought impossible three years ago. And when we want to be there ourselves, we block the calendar and simply enjoy it. What we gained is not just that occupancy, but above all the knowledge: we know exactly what needs to happen every day to keep a property running like this. The work is still there: adjusting prices, answering guests, planning the cleaning. For the owners who work with us, that's exactly the difference: they get the result, we do the work.
What that means in practice.
From our house to yours.
What we figured out at Casa Sunrise, our owners don't have to figure out again. They get an approach that has already proven itself.
And this is how it works out for others.
Tim and Jacqueline rented out their property in Calpe themselves. It went well, but it cost them time every week and outside the season the calendar stayed too empty. Since April we take care of the full management: pricing strategy, guest communication, check-ins and cleaning. Occupancy went up; for Tim and Jacqueline the work went to zero. "Renting it ourselves quickly turned out to be too complicated and mostly gave us headaches. But the house is also our own place, so handing it over felt exciting. Unnecessarily so, in hindsight: Niels and Lusi consult us on anything out of the ordinary. We spend no time on it anymore, it earns more, and the only thing we still decide is when we're there ourselves."

Antonio rented out his property in Calpe through another company. In high season that went reasonably well, but outside it the calendar stayed empty, work was left undone and he felt like just a number. We took over the rentals, the pricing strategy and the daily operation, with a local team that can be there within the hour. "I live in Madrid, so chasing after the house myself was not an option. And honestly, I don't know much about marketing: photos, prices, portals — that's not my world. I wanted to hand it over completely and never think about it again. That's exactly what happens now: they arrange everything and there's someone on site when needed. I only see the result."
