DVH Holiday Homes
Short-Term Rentals for Dubai Villas & Luxury Homes
Who This Suits
Owners who want income without losing flexibility.
Short-term rental is often the right fit for second-home owners, owners between plans, and owners preparing to sell. You keep the ability to use the property yourself, block personal dates, and generate income during vacant periods.
DVH Holiday Homes is a licensed Dubai short-term rental operator. Every guest is screened, every stay is managed end-to-end, and every property is professionally maintained between bookings.

Owner's Costs
DTCM compliance and property costs paid by the owner.
Short-term rental in Dubai is regulated by the Department of Economy and Tourism (DTCM). Compliance, furnishing standards and ongoing property upkeep are the owner's responsibility. We coordinate everything on your behalf and bill third-party costs at cost with full transparency in your monthly statement.
DTCM permit
Annual holiday-home permit and per-listing registration with the Department of Economy and Tourism.
Furnishing to DTCM standard
Fully-furnished, guest-ready set-up: quality furniture, hotel-grade linen, kitchenware, appliances and consumables to meet DTCM inspection requirements.
Owner's property insurance
Building and contents insurance remain with the owner. Guest-related damages are covered separately by our insurance-backed damage waiver.
AC servicing
Regular AC servicing, coil cleans and filter changes to keep units running reliably through Dubai summers.
Regular maintenance
Plumbing, electrical, appliance repairs and general wear-and-tear items — coordinated with vetted contractors and approved before works begin.
Utilities & service charges
DEWA, chiller, internet and community service charges remain in the owner's name and are paid by the owner.
