What we do

One team for the whole property.

FSM Management runs holiday lets and short-let properties end to end. From the first photograph to the monthly payout, we do the work so you do not have to think about it. And if you would rather keep managing your own place, you can take our distribution on its own instead: list on Flexiestays for 5%, and hire nobody.

How the Flexiestays platform works

Our own booking platform

The Flexiestays Booking Platform.

Beyond the public channels, your property joins our own booking platform: a curated collection promoted straight to guests who book with Flexiestays. There are two doors into it. Hand the property over on the 15% managed plan and the listing is included, or keep managing it yourself and list for 5%.

Linen & laundry

Fresh linen and towels, managed for you.

Interior designers

Styling and fit-out specialists.

Trades & maintenance

Vetted local contractors on call.

About us

A local team you can actually reach.

FSM Management is based in Bournemouth and looks after properties across Dorset and the wider south coast. We are a hands-on team that knows the area, the guests and the market: which streets book out in August, which ones hold their rate in February.

Our job is simple. Protect your property, keep it earning, and make owning it effortless. No call centres, no guesswork. People on the ground who do the work and pick up the phone.

Areas we cover

We know these streets.

Local knowledge is the difference between a listing that fills in August and one that fills all year. Pick your patch.

Bournemouth Seven miles of beach, a conference trade and a student city that empties every summer. The most liquid short-let market in Dorset. Town centre · Boscombe · Southbourne Poole & Sandbanks The harbour, the peninsula and a premium end of the market that holds its nightly rate when the rest of the coast discounts. Sandbanks · Canford Cliffs · Lilliput Christchurch Quieter, older, and booked by couples and families who want the quay and Mudeford rather than the nightlife. Christchurch town · Mudeford · Highcliffe Wider Dorset Inland market towns and the Purbeck coast: fewer beds, longer stays, and a season that runs on walking and heritage rather than sand.

FAQs

Good to know

Two things. We fully manage holiday lets and short-let properties end to end for a 15% fee: listing, distribution, pricing, guest communication, housekeeping through our partners, maintenance and reporting. Or, if you already run your own property and simply want more bookings, we list it on the Flexiestays booking platform for 5% and you carry on managing it yourself.
No. The 5% listing plan is open to any owner or operator, whether or not we manage anything for you. You keep control of pricing, guests and standards, and simply gain the extra distribution.
Homeowners with a single property, hotel and aparthotel operators with whole buildings, and investors with portfolios. We manage one apartment or a hundred the same careful way. We do not do block or leasehold management.
Bournemouth, Poole and Sandbanks, Christchurch and across the wider Dorset area, with coverage into the south coast. If you own near the coast, we very likely cover you.
The major channels, including Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia, plus the Flexiestays booking platform. Calendars stay in sync across all of them, so double bookings do not happen.
On the fully managed plan, yes: cleaning, linen and laundry are coordinated on every changeover through our vetted local partners. FSM does not do the laundry in-house, we run the network that does it properly.
Fully managed is 15% of booking revenue and covers the whole service with no hidden extras. Listing on Flexiestays alone is 5%. A fixed-rent option is available on some properties. The exact rate is confirmed in writing before you commit.
Yes. Block any dates in your owner portal or just tell us, and the property will be clean and ready when you arrive.
