Local holiday letting expertise, national know-how
Meet Danny, Jasmine, and Leah
Hi, we’re Danny, Jasmine, and Leah and we are very pleased to meet you. After years of managing a very successful holiday business in Thailand and having a few long-term lettings in England, we’ve now decided to come back home to the Totnes & Torbay area, aka The English Riviera. This uses our knowledge of the holiday home business and short-term lettings management to run Pass the Keys® in Torbay & Totnes. We have realised the huge financial benefit and enjoyment that comes with converting to short-term lettings rather than managing long-term lettings. It makes our hosts richer and happier and gives them more time back to enjoy their lives hassle-free. We are excited to offer our services to our home town making Torbay & Totnes a great place for many more visitors to enjoy! Airbnb hosting in Torbay is growing every day and Pass the Keys is their number 1 co-host. Therefore if you have a property that can be a holiday cottage home rental in Torbay (Torquay, Paignton and Brixham) and Totnes, we at Pass the Keys Torbay and Totnes are very happy to offer 100% total management of short-term let/holiday cottage properties in Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Totnes and the surrounding area.

What's an Airbnb Professional Co-Host
Due to the size of our portfolio of properties and the consistent quality of our service, Pass the Keys® were invited to become an official Airbnb co-host in 2018. This exclusive status afforded Pass the Keys with a key account manager and direct integration to their systems so that we could dynamically update pricing, report on guest behaviours, and other key metrics. We have retained our benefits as a valued partner even though Airbnb have now retired the programme (2022).

Holiday letting agents in Torbay
Torbay, the palm tree-fringed borough of South Devon, is chiefly made up of the 3 famous coastal resort towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. Grouped together they are also known as “The English Riviera” with Torquay often referred to as the Jewel in the Crown of The English Riviera from its heritage as the oldest established Victorian Resort when the early high class visitors, being Lords and Ladies, came ‘to take the waters’. We can’t move on without mentioning Torquay as the birthplace of Agatha Christie, who ties with William Shakespeare as the world's most successful writer ever. Paignton is a family resort with an expansive seafront and a myriad of activities for the kids to do. Brixham is the most valuable fishing port to the fishing industry in the UK and its rich history is most proudly illustrated with the replica of Sir Francis Drake’s Golden Hind in the Brixham Inner Harbour.
Located 3 hours southwest of London, Torbay famously benefits from the winter warming effect of the North Atlantic gulf stream, meaning often considerably milder temperatures than in other areas of the UK. Then in summer, we have all the fun of the beach with what is scientifically called English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark 1. Well, we are sure you know about the 22-mile coastline with 20 beaches and coves with textures from rocks to pebbles, shingles and golden, fine sand. Whatever you want, we’ve got it!
As illustrated by the 2021 49% increased demand on Airbnb, the biggest of all the holiday lettings sites, Torbay and Totnes has grown into one of the best areas for holiday lettings hosts in the whole of the UK with unsatiated demand from tourists. Pass the Keys Torbay and Totnes represents the best opportunity for homeowners to earn the most from this with the minimum of fuss. Simply stated, “Pass the Keys and we’ll do the rest!”

How To Make Your Holiday Let Dog Friendly

After all, it’s no secret that the cost of leaving dogs with a sitter whilst you go on holiday can be eye-watering!
