Property Management in Koh Samui
Villa and residential property management on Koh Samui, from holiday rentals and long-term tenants to maintenance, cleaning, pool and garden care and clear reporting for owners at home or abroad.
A property on Koh Samui needs looking after, whether you live in it part of the year, let it to holiday guests or have a long-term tenant. Tropical weather is hard on buildings, pools and gardens; guests and tenants expect quick responses; and rental income comes with paperwork. If you are overseas, all of this needs someone you can trust on the ground.
Samui Real Estate arranges and oversees property management for villas, houses and condominiums across the island. We tailor the service to the property and to what you want: from full management of a holiday villa to a regular check on a home that is empty while you are away.
How our service is delivered. Our team is your point of contact and oversees the work. Day-to-day tasks such as cleaning, pool care, gardening and repairs are carried out by staff and vetted local contractors, coordinated and checked by us. We explain exactly who does what, and what it costs, before you commit; we don’t publish fixed packages because every property is different.
Management services
Villa management
Full management for pool villas used as holiday rentals, second homes or both: guest arrivals and departures, housekeeping between stays, pool and garden care, maintenance, utilities and making sure the villa is ready when you or your guests arrive.
Residential property management
For houses, townhouses and condominiums that are lived in or let long-term, we handle the practical side of ownership: bills, building or juristic office matters for condominiums, maintenance and regular checks.
Holiday rental and booking management
We can market a villa for short-term rental and manage bookings, enquiries, guest communication, check-in and check-out, payments and reservations across booking platforms and our network of rental agents. Owners who prefer to manage their own bookings can use our marketing or housekeeping support on its own. Before letting short-term, read our guide to hotel licences and short-term rentals.
Long-term rental management
For monthly or annual lettings we find and vet tenants, prepare the tenancy agreement with your lawyer if required, check the property in and out with a photographic inventory, collect rent and deal with issues during the tenancy. See current long-term rentals in Koh Samui.
Tenant and guest coordination
Guests and tenants need a responsive contact for questions, problems and emergencies. We handle day-to-day requests, arrange repairs and keep you informed of anything significant.
Property inspections
Regular inspections catch problems early: leaks, damp, termites, pool equipment faults, roof and drainage issues and storm damage. We agree a schedule that suits the property and report back with photographs, including after heavy weather.
Maintenance coordination
We arrange routine maintenance and repairs, from air-conditioning servicing and pest control to plumbing, electrics and decoration, using contractors we know. For larger work we obtain quotes for your approval, and we can coordinate renovation projects.
Cleaning and housekeeping
Regular cleaning for occupied homes, turnaround cleaning and linen changes between guests, deep cleans before the high season, and help sourcing live-in staff where a property needs them.
Pool and garden maintenance
Pools and gardens need weekly attention in Samui’s climate. We arrange pool cleaning and water treatment, equipment checks, lawn and plant care, palm trimming and storm preparation.
Owner reporting
You receive regular statements showing income, expenses and bookings or tenancy details, with receipts for costs. You decide how much detail you want and how often.
Rental administration
Letting property in Thailand involves administration: tenancy and booking records, deposits, utility accounts and notifying immigration of foreign guests and tenants through the TM30 process. We handle the routine administration and coordinate with your accountant or lawyer on tax on rental income and licensing.
Overseas property owner support
Many owners live abroad. We act as your eyes and ears: paying local bills, receiving deliveries, meeting contractors, preparing the property for your arrival and dealing with whatever comes up while you are away.
Choosing the level of service
Full management
Holiday villas
Bookings, guests, housekeeping, maintenance, pool, garden, administration and reporting, with one team responsible.
Rental management
Long-term lets
Tenant search and vetting, agreements, check-in and check-out, rent collection, repairs and reporting.
Care and maintenance
Homes left empty
Scheduled inspections, cleaning, pool and garden care, bills and preparing the property for your return.
Not every owner needs everything. We recommend the level of service that suits the property and how you use it, and we will tell you if a lighter arrangement makes more sense.
What good management protects
Good management is not only about income. It protects the condition of the building, your relationship with tenants and guests, your compliance with local rules and, eventually, the price you achieve when you sell. A well-kept property with clear records of maintenance and rental performance is easier to sell and easier to value. Our guide to villa ownership and running costs explains the costs to budget for.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on the property, the level of service and whether it is let. Holiday rental management is usually charged differently from long-term rental management or simple care and maintenance. We provide a written proposal for your property before you commit.

Staff and vetted local contractors, coordinated and checked by our team. We explain the arrangement for your property in our proposal.
