Local Knowledge

The right building makes a difference.

Successful holiday home management in Dubai starts with understanding the property as well as the market. Rules, guest access, building procedures and short-term rental requirements can differ significantly between communities.

That is why DVH concentrates on selected waterfront, villa and townhouse locations where we know the buildings, understand the operating requirements and can give owners practical advice before they commit.

What Owners Ask Us First

The questions that matter before you appoint a Dubai holiday home manager.

Clear answers on income, fees, bookings, owner use, payments and practical responsibilities.

01

How much can my Dubai property earn?

Rates are managed dynamically using supply, demand, seasonality, comparable properties, hotel occupancy and wider market conditions. Any forecast is a guide only and is never guaranteed.

02

What are your Dubai holiday home management fees?

Our management fees are generally 18–20%, depending on the property, its location, size and availability. Fees are subject to VAT and exclude OTA commissions, setup costs and normal property running costs.

03

Do you list my Dubai property on Airbnb and other OTAs?

Yes. We distribute properties across Airbnb, Booking.com and other online travel platforms, as well as direct channels where appropriate. OTA commissions are charged separately from the DVH management fee.

04

What is your cancellation policy for Dubai property owners?

Our standard management agreement can be cancelled with two months’ written notice. Earlier termination may involve cancellation fees, guest-booking liabilities, OTA penalties or other costs connected with existing bookings.

05

Can I still use my Dubai property myself?

Yes. There are no restrictions on owner use when dates are blocked in advance. We will not cancel an existing guest booking to accommodate an owner stay, so advance notice is always recommended.

06

When do I get paid for my Dubai holiday home bookings?

Owner statements are normally issued by the end of the first week of each month, with funds transferred around the end of the second week, usually close to the 15th. Payments are made in UAE dirhams.

07

How do I know when my Dubai property is booked?

Owners have access to an owner dashboard showing booking dates, booking values, blocked dates, limited guest details and owner statements.

08

Who pays the utility bills for my Dubai holiday home?

Utility accounts and property running costs remain the owner’s responsibility. DVH can manage the administration on the owner’s behalf, with no additional markup for handling the bills.

09

Can I list my Dubai property with more than one operator?

No. A Dubai holiday home should be managed by one licensed operator at a time because that operator carries the permit, guest registration, Tourism Dirham and regulatory responsibilities.

10

How do you vet guests and protect my property?

We carry out guest screening and, where appropriate, additional background checks to help reduce risk. Eligible bookings may also benefit from guest-related protection of up to US$5 million, subject to applicable terms and conditions.

11

What happens if something breaks or needs maintenance?

DVH can coordinate maintenance, repairs and property access on the owner’s behalf. Costs remain the owner’s responsibility, but we manage the process and keep the owner informed.

12

Can I rent my Dubai property monthly as well as short-term?

Yes. Depending on the property, location and market conditions, we can use a mix of short-term and monthly stays to balance income, occupancy, owner use and reduced turnover.
