When it comes to renting a holiday home in the Costa del Sol there’s plenty of options available. Many travel agencies offer villas and apartments to rent but to get the best value it’s worth looking at renting directly from the home owner. There are many property owners in the Costa del Sol who are prepared to rent out their holiday home to tourists when they aren’t staying there themselves. Owners that visit their home several times a year are often reluctant to pass the rental management to an agency and prefer to stay in control giving them the freedom to rent the property out when they want to.
This also means that the holiday maker gets a fairer and cheaper price for the holiday home, as there is no middleman taking a share. Here are some more advantages of renting a holiday home directly from the owner.

A homely environment
As the property owners are likely to be living in the home for several weeks it will be kitted out as a ‘real’ home rather than a rental home. The little extras like beach balls, deck chairs and towels can make a big difference and make you feel more at home as soon as you arrive.

Personal treatment
The owner may have more than one holiday home but it’s unlikely that they’ll be renting out villas and apartments on mass and therefore you should get the special personal treatment that you can expect when dealing with an individual rather than a company.

Negotiable rates
Unlike large travel agencies private owners are usually willing to negotiate on the price, especially if you are staying for 14 days or longer. Even a saving of just a few pounds will give you a bit more spending money for your holiday!

Returning custom
If you enjoy your stay at the owners villa, apartment, townhouse or penthouse you can soon build up a relationship with the owner, who is likely to offer you first pick on popular rental weeks should you wish to return again. They may also offer you the first choice of special late deals that become available.

So next time you’re looking for a villa in the Costa del Sol, why not rent directly from the owner.
