Rent from owners direct in Costa Blanca

I run a small training company in England specialising in working with footwear brands. This has given me the opportunity of working with most of the major footwear brands throughout the world. My wife Suzi also works in the footwear industry as a designer. We both love Spain and actually rented our villa on a number of occasions before having the opportunity to buy it!

We are a very close-knit family. Our background covers Nursing, Military Service and many years in Marketing & Sales. Our children have all grown up and are successful in their own right. . We are the proud grandparents of a bright and energetic sixteen year old grandson, and a beautiful bi-lingual 5 year old granddaughter. Like most people we enjoy the good things in life, when the opportunity arises. Liz loves to go swimming early in the morning. She also enjoys travelling and sightseeing. Her health is something that she does not take for granted. She attends an excellent gymnasium, three times a week, as well as using her home-body toner apparatus. She is also a competent Swedish and Indian Head Massage Therapist. We have been running our Holiday Home away-from-home for some 5 years; and have had many satisfied and returning guests, whom we now consider to be friends. Nothing is more satisfying than hearing what a wonderful time your guests have had - and can they make a Reservation for next year, now?

I have owned and rented two properties through this website for many years and the properties have proved very popular. The properties are second homes and are treated and furnished as such, but with an eye to being practical for our guests, so that they can enjoy their holiday with some home comforts, like DVDs and CDs. Central to the provision of a great holiday is a great local representative and we are fortunate to have two excellent local property managers. You always have access to the owner by email in any event. All emails are notified to me by text message through the system and I try to respond as soon as I reasonably can. This means a more prompt reply is usually provided than it would be if you were booking with a large company. We are not renting the properties to build a big business, but to cover expenses, which is more difficult to achieve than most people imagine. I am a lawyer and work rather long hours, but I am usually able to respond to emails quickly, albeit often late in the day. I have done my best to provide all the information you need on the website, so do try to look for an answer there before asking a question. Don't forget that people make bookings 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so if in doubt reserve the dates you want (without obligation), and ask a question when making your booking reservation. This gives you a day or so to sort out flights and get answers to any questions you could not find answers to on the website.

I spent the majority of my life in the Royal Air Force and following retirement from the forces I worked part time as an IT Lecturer for Hull University in local schools and also as an IT Technician in several schools. My wife was a Primary School Teacher and retired as a Head Teacher of a large Junior School in Lincolnshire. We have a son and daughter who live in Australia and South Africa respectively. Our property was initially purchased as a holiday home for us in 2000 but we moved to Spain permanently in 2003 when it became our home. We enjoyed the area with its fantasic mountain views so much that we brought a second house in the next street where we now live. For the last 6 years, this property has been on a long lease with a couple who have recently returned to the UK and we have just completed a major renovation of the property..

we are a married couple (40yrs) who own a property in spain and would like other people to share the wonderful town of los montesinos where it is situated.the extra income helps towards the mortgage also.we have owned the property 8yrs and have agents in the local area who will assist you in any way possible.

Sue has a 4 bedroom villa with private pool in Toscal, Spain.
