Long Term Rentals in Costa Blanca

[TinaP]

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!
Tina

unless you have very well-paid jobs lined up, think hard about moving here. have lived here two years and am leaving to go to france for a more secure work life. spain is lovely for holidays but most workers are shamefully exploited. don´t burn any bridges.

Err .... from what I hear things aren't too rosey in France

I am just outside Oliva, I can get the names of some rental agents if you like when I am down in the town next.

You want town or rural?

Thanks Franny, I've got a very well paid job working remotely in the UK and can just transfer to remote working in Spain. We've thought about this and worked out the finances and its feasible for us. My partner will be looking for work when we move to Spain but my income can cover all our outgoings for at least 6 months so hopefully should be ok - anyway we only live once and if it doesn't work out we'll still have our home in England to move back to.

Stravinsky you've been very helpful so far and I would be grateful if you could get details of some agents as we'll be visiting Spain end of July and hoping to set up some viewings. Ideally town not rural as I'll need good landline and ADSL, plus partner will need to look for work in property care.

Thanks again

No probs, probably tomorrow
I know the apartments in Oliva Town go for €450ish a month. Theres two parts to Oliva though, the town and the playa. You can walk from the town to the beach (I do it every morning for exercise)

What you probably will find is that rentals in Denia are more expensive than Oliva though

Hi Stravinski,
After much prospecting we did confine our project "Moving to Spain" to the Costa Blanca. It does seam a good compromise if one considers price/quality – security – and some other factors. I am going to arrive with my wife in Benidorm September 1st. Our first idea about looking for a residence was Benidorm, which has many offers considering apartments. But I have some friends, which recommended Altea. AND…. I also did had a look (Internet-Google Earth & pictures) at Oliva! I did try to find apartments for rent at Pisos en alquiler en toda España - Enalquiler.com, but I couldn’t find anything. If you could get the names of some rental agents mentioned above. This would be of great help. The idea of walking every day to beach for exercise sounds great ☺

We are a family of three, with a four years old boy. We are looking for a three bedrooms place, either apartment or small house for rent. By the why, we are not planing to work in Spain.

Thank you in advance for any information!

OK, looked at the agents but kept to those that have a good amount of rentals, as many are sales.

The main one in Oliva seems to be Anacasa

I'll second this. You'll do no good by rushing into a decision - you have to think very carefully about what you want out of the move. Try and weigh up the options from an impartial standpoint (I know it will be hard!) and you'll realise whether moving is the right decision for you. And remember: always have a back-up! Don't just leave everyone in the UK in the lurch.

Thanks! This for sure does help. If I trust the Internet there seem to be many "pisos" for rent!
Question for Costa Blanca residents: Which would you recommend: Benidorm, Denia, Altea or Oliva? I need a place with a primary school and possibly a life without (or nealy without....) a car. Working is not an issue.
