QUOTE=TinaP;37711]  Hi there. We are hoping to move to Costa Blanca later this year and are currently looking at various properties for long term rent.
We have found one that we like in Playa Flamenca but not sure about the area.
I have family who live near Alcoy in Northern CB and wondered if anyone knew of any rentals near Denia, Oliva etc?
Either private or agency - but would need 2 bed villa with private garden - also one dog allowed!
We are hoping to come over within the next few weeks so if we can line up some viewings that would be fantastic
Thanks for your help!

No, that's it, we have a place in Alicante town. Alicante town is a great place, with all the advantages of the surrounding pueblos (Beach etc.) but also the commodities of a real mid-size town.
There are plenty of rentals available. Of course if you are looking for less expensive and still very good, there is less choice. My experience is, that even if they write: "NO dogs” you can still negotiate, since they have trouble to find solvent renters. I think if I would have to start looking again, I would first choose an area and then drive around to look at the "Alquiler" signs hanged out at the houses. There is always a phone number. This way you do not loose your time at looking at flats in neighborhoods where do not want to live anyway.
P.S. I WOULD NOT RENT JUST BY WEBSITE OR OWNER/AGENCY CONTACT. I HAD A BIG SURPRISE THAT WAY, WHEN SEEING THE "REAL HOUSE" AND LOST 600 EUROS RESERVATION FEE.
