Meet Ainsley & Catherine
At the helm of Pass the Keys® Swansea is Ainsley & Catherine Thomas. Together they own and operate Pass the Keys® in Swansea as well as Carmarthenshire. After running several successful businesses in the area one of which is an award-winning cleaning company the only service we did not offer was marketing and managing our holiday lets.

Holiday letting agents in Swansea
Wales’ second largest city, Swansea is rich in a variety of history and 32 miles of stunning coastline right on the doorstep, there’s something for everyone here. There are over 50 natural beaches and coves to be explored – that’s a different beach for every week of the year!
Swansea is an attractive destination for visitors interested to discover its copper-smelting and maritime history and to explore the famous Gower Peninsula (the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). With tourism growing thanks to major investment in the redevelopment of the City Centre and the nearby village of Mumbles, Airbnb hosting is a great alternative to traditional hotels and the demand for Swansea accommodation in this area is far outstripping supply.
Swansea holiday lets offering easy access to the picturesque beaches of Mumbles, Langland and Caswell are always in high demand. Central Swansea is popular with those visiting for work as well as pleasure, with museums, universities, restaurants and bars within walking distance. Various concerts and open-air cinema screenings are held in Singleton Park and Liberty Stadium throughout the year, and fans flock to the latter to see the Swans and the Ospreys play.

We take care of pricing, guest communication, cleaning, and key management so that our hosts can sit back and relax.
