Hi and welcome to the forum.

What is your budget? Is this solely for yourself or including family? Pool or not?

I may be in a position to help.

Hiya,

Many thanks for your quick reply, I am looking for somewhere just for myself, have a budget of upto 600 euros per month, pool would be good but not a priority, would need to be within airport as I work offshore in the uk 2 weeks out of every 4

I will private message you now.

Have you tried any Spanish property sites--depending how near an airport you want to be, 600 euros should give you plenty of choice !

Hiya,

Yes I have done a long search on the web but cant find anything suitable, and the ones that are, are too far away from an airport, I also cant seem to find any properties in Alicante itself, they all seem to be up and down the coast which would be ideal if I had a car

I dont live in that area so I cant help you, but maybe you should contact some of the letting agents in your chosen area? at least they could give you a feel for whats about??? Then you could come over and have a look to fine tune your choices

How far is TOO FAR? - Bear in mind that TAXI's are not THAT EXPENSIVE and if you head for somewhere like (just as an example) Santa Pola ( less than 10 miles away) there's probably a bus.

Yes, there are buses that run along the N332 but they're not that great in this part of Spain, sadly!

I believe they started a direct bus service from the airport to Benidorm a few year back,if you fancy a bit of nightlife etc.
Make a nice change from the rigs and probably plenty of accomodation as things have been a bit quieter of late according to reports.
Not been down that way for a while so I dont know if the bus service is going ok on a regular basis.
Also there are lots of agencies there letting properties.
I have quite a few details on them, but not with me at present.
