Going It Alone? That’s a Risky-Saurus Move!

Investing in a rental property on Portugal’s west coast sounds ideal, but managing it yourself can be anything but.

Most holiday homeowners don’t live nearby, making it tough to stay on top of bookings, guest issues, and general upkeep. Even if you're local, the time and effort needed to run a short-term let properly can quickly become a burden.

The idea of turning your property into a reliable income stream is appealing but finding the time, energy, and trusted support to do it right is where many get stuck.

That’s where we come in. At Dino Property, we take the stress off your plate. Handling everything from guest turnover to maintenance and security, so your investment property stays well looked after and earns its keep.

Don’t fossilise your free time!

The Process…

Step 1 : Photography

In the world of short-term lets, great photos aren't optional…they’re essential. Guests make snap decisions, and your images can be the difference between a booking and a scroll-past.

We’ve seen firsthand how quality photography boosts interest and fills calendars faster. That’s why we always recommend getting professional shots taken. If you need help arranging this, we’re happy to sort it for you.

Most booking platforms also have their own minimum photo requirements:

  • At least 10 horizontal images

  • 1920 x 1080 resolution, under 10MB per file

  • Coverage of every room, inside and out, with a few extras for standout spaces like the living room

Step 2 : Set Your Rental Availability

Let us know the dates your property is available for bookings and we’ll take care of the rest.

We get that plans can change, so if your availability shifts, just email your account manager and we’ll update it right away. Flexibility is part of the service.

With the volume of bookings, edits, and cancellations we manage daily, we’re unable to give advance notice for every change on our end, but rest assured, your calendar is always kept up to date.

Step 3: Get Your Listing Live

Whether we’re taking over an existing listing or setting up a brand-new one, we’ll get your property ready to go live.

We’ll need a few key details from you during onboarding to make sure everything’s accurate and well presented.

Some platforms, like Airbnb, are quick to publish new listings. Others may take a little longer, as they run verification checks before going live. Either way, we’ll handle the process and keep things moving.

Why Invest in Portugal’s West Coast?

Economic Growth & Rise in Tourism

Portugal’s west coast is booming, fast becoming a magnet for both tourism and investment. World-class surf spots like Nazaré and Ericeira, paired with stunning scenery and authentic culture, are drawing international visitors in record numbers.

This surge in tourism is fueling the local economy—new hotels, restaurants, and real estate developments are transforming once-sleepy towns into thriving coastal destinations.

With better infrastructure and year-round appeal, the region is now a hotspot for eco-tourists, digital nomads, and forward-thinking investors alike.

Steeped in History

The west coast of Portugal is steeped in history, shaped by centuries of exploration, conflict, and cultural exchange. Once a key launch point during the Age of Discoveries, ports like Peniche and Cascais played vital roles in maritime expansion.

The region also bears the scars of invasions and resistance, from Napoleonic troops to coastal defences against piracy. Ancient monasteries, fortresses, and fishing villages reflect a rich blend of Roman, Moorish, and medieval Portuguese heritage.

Today, these historical layers provide depth and identity, offering visitors more than just scenic beauty—they step into a coastline where the past still echoes in every stone and street.

Culinary Delights

The food and drink scene along Portugal’s west coast is a vibrant reflection of its coastal heritage and regional pride. Fresh seafood takes centre stage—grilled sardines, octopus salad, and caldeirada (fish stew) are local staples, often served with crisp vinho verde or robust reds from nearby wine regions.

Traditional bakeries offer pastéis de nata and pão com chouriço straight from wood-fired ovens. Farm-to-table dining and modern takes on rustic dishes are increasingly common, thanks to a new wave of chefs blending innovation with tradition.

Whether in beachside shacks or refined eateries, the west coast delivers bold, honest flavours rooted in land and sea.

Breathtaking Beaches

The west coast of Portugal is home to some of the most breathtaking beaches in Europe, known for their raw beauty, golden sands, and dramatic cliffs.

From the vast stretches of sand in Figueira da Foz to the towering waves of Nazaré and the surf haven of Ericeira, each beach offers something unique. Secluded coves, rugged dunes, and clear Atlantic waters attract surfers, sunseekers, and nature lovers alike.

Many beaches remain relatively untouched, preserving their wild charm and unspoilt landscapes. With stunning sunsets and a relaxed coastal vibe, the region’s shoreline is a true highlight of Portugal’s natural allure.
