Discover the advantages of working with Mar y Sol CoHosting, the trusted short-term rental experts
serving Gulf Shores, Fort Morgan, and Orange Beach, Alabama.

Maximize Your Potential

We help you optimize pricing and market your property for more bookings, better reviews, and higher returns and provide expert, data-driven guidance at every stage so you can focus on the upside, not the upkeep.


Own Your Listing

Your property is listed under your name, giving you full ownership of the listing and direct access to guest payouts at check-in. As your co-host, we manage the day-to-day operations while you stay in control. Our service fees are invoiced monthly, keeping everything transparent and straightforward.


Hospitality

We provide 24/7 guest communication with a 100% response rate to ensure smooth stays and satisfied guests. Clear check-in and check-out instructions are handled for you, with full support available via chat or call at any time.

Designs that win

Our interior design team blends home-like comfort with guest-friendly style, creating inviting spaces that boost appeal and drive bookings. Every detail is curated for warmth, function, and a sense of place.

Unlock your property's potential

At Mar y Sol CoHosting, we redefine short-term rental management in Gulf Shores, Fort Morgan, and Orange Beach, Alabama, with a personalized, profit-focused approach that sets us apart from traditional property managers. While many managers take 20% or more of gross booking revenue upfront, we allow property owners to receive 100% of the funds from every reservation, with management fees billed monthly—maximizing your earnings. Instead of underpricing rentals just to fill calendars, we leverage advanced dynamic pricing software and in-depth market research to adjust rates for seasonal demand and high-profile local events, ensuring your property achieves peak profitability year-round. Our commitment to quality extends beyond pricing: we thoroughly vet and train cleaning professionals to deliver consistent five-star turnovers, and we partner with expert interior designers and photographers to stage and showcase your property with maximum guest appeal. Most importantly, by intentionally managing a limited number of properties, Mar y Sol CoHosting provides attentive, boutique-style service that larger, volume-driven managers simply can’t match.

Anchored in Trust, Fueled by Experience

Laurel Fleming, founder of Mar y Sol CoHosting, discovered Gulf Shores in 1990 and fell in love with its beach town vibe. After memorable vacations, she bought her first property in December 2002 and moved there full-time in 2005. In 2007, she married Tim and turned her condo into a thriving short-term rental. Since then, she has grown alongside the evolving vacation rental industry, crediting her success to valuable coaching and a supportive community. Today, Laurel leads a dedicated team, including top-rated cleaners, a skilled interior designer, a talented photographer, and a savvy realtor, all helping clients develop and manage successful Gulf Coast rental properties.

The Winning Edge

Three short-term rental accommodations in the same condominium complex illustrate the impact of different management approaches. The first unit, self-managed by its owner, lists on only one travel site and does not utilize modern marketing or dynamic pricing tactics, resulting in lower visibility and limited profitability. The second unit is overseen by a local property manager who sets low rates to fill the calendar and charges high management fees, further reducing the owner's net returns. In contrast, the third unit, managed by Mar y Sol CoHosting, stands out with professional staging and photography, dynamic pricing that adjusts for seasons and local events, and a focus on maximizing both occupancy and revenue. As a result, the Mar y Sol CoHosting property consistently outperforms the others, achieving higher booking rates, superior guest satisfaction, and significantly greater profits for the owner.

Your Questions Answered

We know every host has questions, and we’re here with straight answers. Here is a quick reference guide to how we help your property shine and your guests feel at home.

  • What exactly does Mar y Sol CoHosting do?

    We handle the day-to-day details of short-term rental management so you don’t have to. From guest communication and booking management to coordinating cleanings and making sure your property shines, we’re your behind-the-scenes partner.

  • Do you replace property management companies?

    Not exactly. We’re somewhere between property manager and self-manager but more flexible. Think of us as a middle ground — we give you more control than a traditional property manager, but take on more responsibility than doing it all yourself.

  • How much do your services cost?

    Our pricing is transparent and tailored to each property. We charge a co-hosting percentage on the rental portion of each booking, so we only succeed when you succeed. We do not charge on taxes or aditional fees. No hidden fees, no surprises.

  • Who handles the cleanings and turnovers?

    We coordinate reliable, professional cleaners and make sure every turnover meets high standards. Cleanliness is one of the biggest drivers of guest satisfaction and repeat bookings. If you have a housekeeper you like, we can bring them aboard.

  • Do you manage guest communication?

    Yes! We respond to inquiries quickly, guide guests through the booking process, and provide helpful local info before and during their stay. Guests feel cared for, and you get peace of mind.

  • What makes Mar y Sol different from other co-hosts?

    We’re local, hands-on, and fueled by real hosting experience. Because we know what guests look for and what owners need, we blend personal service with professional standards.

  • Can you help improve my listing?

    Absolutely. We’ll advise on photos, descriptions, pricing strategy, and amenities to make your property stand out. Better listings = more bookings = more revenue.

  • How long is your contract?

    With Mar y Sol CoHosting, you're on a month-to-month contract. Nobody likes to be stuck in a long-term contract, so if you aren't happy with our results, give us a 30 day notice, and we will hand the booking process back to you.

  • How do I get started?

    Easy — just reach out through our contact page. We’ll schedule a quick consultation to learn about your property and goals, then tailor a plan that works for you. We will even run a complimentary property analysis to help you see the revenue you may expect from your short term rental.
