Pass the Keys has finally come to Torbay and Totnes. Otherwise known as The English Riviera and the Real World Narnia, that Totnes is twinned with, you’ll find the most glorious Torbay coastline and quirkiest Totnes market town experience you could imagine. 

Pass The Keys will take the stress away from all property hosts and 100% manage their short-term holiday lettings for a hassle-free hosting experience!

Being English Riviera locals we wish to fly the flag proudly (and our beaches have got more than enough blue flags to fly) after having built up and managed a very successful holiday business in Thailand. There's no better place to be proud of than home, and in Torbay and Totnes we have certainly got good reason to be.

Can you tell us a bit about yourselves?

I’m Danny, the Director, and I am from Torquay, the Jewel in the Crown of the English Riviera; Jasmine, my daughter, is looking after the finance and marketing; and Leah, my sister-in-law and our Operations Manager, is organising our day to day activities. I should also mention my brother, Matt, who is taking care of our photography, social media and all things artistic and inventive as well as our IT.

Now we have joined it seems better than we had even dared to hope.
