All-inclusive rental management
We help property owners on the French Riviera to manage their seasonal rentals, offering a tailor-made, all-in-one service. From booking management to daily maintenance, our team takes care of every detail to maximise your property’s profitability while ensuring a unique and memorable experience for your guests. You can trust Rental Palms to add value to your property and make rental management easier, with complete peace of mind.
Income optimization
Optimizing your seasonal rental income depends on strategic management, adapted to market fluctuations. At Rental Palms, we apply dynamic pricing based on seasons, local events and demand. This allows you to adjust your prices in real time and capitalize on popular periods, such as the Cannes Film Festival or the many congresses that take place in the region throughout the year. We also analyze the market to position your property competitively and attract guests while maximizing your earnings.
Visibility of your property
We put digital at the heart of our strategy, good visibility is essential to attract regular, quality bookings. Rental Palms ensures that your property is featured on major booking platforms, such as Airbnb and Abritel, while optimizing descriptions, titles and photos. Our professional photos portray your home at its best, and we work on descriptions that highlight your property’s features. We attract guests all year round, boosting your occupancy rate.
Bookings management
Managing bookings can be a time-consuming task, especially during periods of high demand. We manage the entire booking process, from initial contact to booking confirmation. We also carefully follow schedules to avoid double-booking or empty periods. Furthermore, we are always available to answer any questions guests may have before, during and after their stay. You benefit from total peace of mind, knowing that your bookings are being handled professionally and efficiently.
Professional cleaning and linen services
At Rental Palms, we work with a professional cleaning team that is dedicated to our high standards. When possible, we assign each property to the same cleaner to ensure a personal touch and a detailed knowledge of your property.
After each stay, a complete and careful cleaning is made, with special attention to detail. A member of our rental team always checks the quality of the cleaning before the next guests arrive, guaranteeing a perfect quality welcome.
For linens, we use hotel-quality linen provided by a partner laundry service. Each rental is provided with carefully prepared linens, including bed sheets, high-end towels, and, for villas, pool towels.
These cleaning and linen services are paid directly by the guests when they make their reservation. Your property is therefore maintained regularly and professionally, without impacting your rental income.
Inventory and check of accommodations
At Rental Palms, the respect of your property is a priority. Before the first rental, we carry out a detailed inventory with photos using the professional software Nockee, which serves as the official reference. After each guest’s departure, we thoroughly inspect the property and its equipment to ensure no damage has occurred.
Each platform provides adapted protection: Aircover on Airbnb, security deposit via credit card imprint on Abritel and Booking. For direct bookings through our website, we use the secure solution Swikly. In the event of damage, Rental Palms handles guest claims and the collection of all or part of the deposit on your behalf.
Hospitality standards
We believe in giving guests a warm welcome. All check-ins between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. include a personal key handover to make sure travelers feel welcome and comfortable. A personalized welcome kit tailored to each accommodation and a complete welcome guide are provided to make their stay easier. Our team is available to answer questions and assist as needed. This commitment to quality has earned Rental Palms Superhost status on Airbnb, with an excellent guest satisfaction rating.
We also offer on request a tailor-made concierge service.
Legal compliance and administrative support
Seasonal rentals involve specific administrative requirements that we handle for you with complete peace of mind. Rental Palms takes care of registering your property with the local authorities to obtain the mandatory registration number. We also manage the declaration of rental periods, as well as the collection and payment of tourist taxes to the relevant municipalities. In addition, we advise you on suitable insurance for your property and inform you about the mandatory safety equipment needed to rent in full compliance and tranquility.

Tourist tax is charged to guests on a per-night, per-person rate. At Rental Palms, we collect this tax automatically on every booking and forward it to the local authorities. In addition to collecting the tax, we can also handle the online declaration of the tourist tax on your account. If you give us permission, we will make sure that the declarations are made within the deadlines imposed by the local town hall and in accordance with local regulations, in order to simplify your administrative procedures.
Can you describe the process for working with Rental Palms?
All you need to do is contact us via our online form or by phone. We will arrange a visit to your home to discuss your expectations and present our services in detail. After our initial visit and agreement on the terms of management, we can put your property online within a few days, depending on the property’s preparation (photos, advertisements, etc.).
Does Rental Palms work exclusively, or can I list my property with multiple agencies?
We work exclusively on exclusive or semi-exclusive mandates. You can still rent your property occasionally to friends or acquaintances. Working exclusively allows us to manage your property optimally, ensure thorough maintenance, apply an efficient organization, and create a single listing per property on the platforms. By entrusting your property to a single agency, you also maximize your occupancy rate.
