Bobbywashere Property Management

Taking care of properties on Boa Vista and Sal since 2016

Home owners

Owning a property in Cape Verde should be rewarding — not time-consuming.
At Bobbywashere, we take care of your apartment or home as if it were our own, allowing you to enjoy a 7%+ return on investment without the daily concerns of holiday rentals.

We manage the entire short-term rental process in Santa Maria (Sal) and Sal Rei (Boa Vista), handling everything from guest communication to administration, maintenance, and payments.
In addition, we assist homeowners with practical matters such as annual city hall payments, condominium fee payments, and other local requirements.

Our goal is simple: maximum performance, full transparency, and total peace of mind.

Always in control

As a homeowner, you always stay in control of your property.

You receive access to our professional property management system, where you can:

• Block or unblock dates for personal stays

• View upcoming reservations

• Track monthly and yearly revenue

• Monitor occupancy rates and overall performance

All information is available online, giving you full insight into how your investment is performing at any time.

Sales

Your property is promoted where it matters most.

We advertise on all leading European booking platforms, as well as on our own website and direct booking system. In addition, Bobbywashere partners with:

• More than five international travel agencies

• The major kite schools on Sal and Boa Vista

Thanks to our strong brand presence and loyal guest base, over 50% of our 1,000+ yearly reservations are direct bookings, mainly from returning guests and referrals — reducing commission costs and increasing net returns for homeowners.

Socials

We publish regular Facebook and Instagram content, including:

• High-quality photos and videos of our apartments

• Lifestyle content about Sal and Boa Vista

• New restaurants, tours, and activities

• Travel tips, facts, and inspiration

This approach strengthens visibility, increases direct bookings, and positions your property within a strong, trusted brand.

Location Requirements

To guarantee strong rental performance, efficient operations, and consistent service quality, we work exclusively with carefully selected locations.

Boa Vista – Sal Rei
Our first- and second-line apartments and homes are located along the beautiful Sal Rei coastline, between Praia Diante and Praia Estoril.

Sal – Santa Maria
In Santa Maria, we operate between Praia Angulo and Porto Antigo 2, focusing on prime beachfront and high-demand areas.

For operational and marketing reasons, on Sal we can only manage:

• First-line beachfront apartments, or

• Properties located in Porto Antigo 2 or Leme Bedje, or

• Second-line apartments with a swimming pool

These location requirements allow us to maintain our quality standards, optimize rental yields, and deliver a consistent guest experience.

• Payments

• Check-in and check-out

Our local, multilingual team is available 24/7, assisting guests with everything from booking tours and activities to handling unexpected situations such as medical visits or travel issues.

Automated emails via our channel manager and our online Guest Guide ensure guests receive all necessary information before and during their stay.

Cleaning, Linen, Towels & Restock

We work with professional housekeepers and manage all laundry in-house, guaranteeing high and consistent standards.

Each change-over includes:

• Thorough professional cleaning

• Fresh bed linen and towels

• Restocking of guest essentials such as toilet paper, coffee, tea, and soap

Your property is always presented at its best for every arrival.
