Full-Service Vacation Rental Management in Los Cabos
Los Cabos — Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, and the corridor between them — is one of Mexico's strongest vacation rental markets, and most of its owners don't live here. Marbella Lane manages the full operation for Cabo owners from a distance they can trust: pricing, guests in English and Spanish, housekeeping, maintenance, reviews, and monthly payouts — plus the Mexico-specific compliance an out-of-country owner cannot easily track alone: how the property is held, its tax registration, its community's rental rules, and hurricane season.

Why owners switch to Marbella Lane
Daily dynamic pricing. Your rates are reviewed and adjusted every day against your comp set, events, and seasonality — never set once and left behind.
In-house guest communication, 24/7. Our own team handles every inquiry, booking, and mid-stay issue, around the clock, in English and Spanish.
Housekeeping with photo-verified inspections. Every turnover is coordinated by us and verified with photos before the next guest arrives.
24/7 maintenance triage. Issues are assessed the moment they're reported, with local vendors dispatched when needed.
Review management. We respond to reviews and track the subcategory scores guests actually filter by.
Monthly owner statements + direct-deposit payouts. Clear reporting, on time, every month.
Ranking optimization. Our Exclusive Partners include Cindy Lin, Airbnb's former User Growth Engineering Manager (7 years), and Tao Tao, the former Technical Lead of Airbnb's Search Platform, who led its search and ranking architecture. We put that experience to work with data-driven listing optimization — titles, photos, pricing signals, and review performance — aimed at first- and second-page placement.
Renting your Cabo property from abroad: the parts that need a local operator
How your property is held. Most foreign owners in the coastal zone hold their property through a fideicomiso (bank trust) or a Mexican corporation. Renting it short-term is legal under either structure — but the rental operation has to match the holding structure on paper. At onboarding we verify how your property is held and make sure the management and payout setup matches it.
Mexican tax registration and filings. Rental income in Mexico carries obligations whether or not you live here: SAT registration, income tax, and IVA on lodging, with filings on a Mexican calendar, in Spanish, whether you had bookings or not. We keep the operation's records complete and deliver them to your Mexican accountant on schedule every month, and we flag registration gaps before your first booking — not after your first notice.
Your community's rental rules. Los Cabos communities each set their own terms — minimum stays, caps on how many homes may rent, guest registration, quiet hours — and they change. We confirm your community's current rules before listing and re-check them as they change, so a booking never puts you on the wrong side of your own HOA. (Baja California Sur's Civil Code also sets the framework for leases from one to eleven months, which matters if a guest stay extends.)
Hurricane season. From June through November, an unattended property is a liability. Our local team runs pre-season inspections, secures the property ahead of a named storm, and checks and photographs it afterward — with a report to you, wherever you are. Between storms, the same team handles the ordinary wear that Cabo's sun and salt air deliver faster than owners expect.
