Yes i always book a private apartment its cheap and easy. go on holidaylettings web site i am going end of the month staying at beach front. much cheaper than you think.Its great because you only deal with the owner who give their phone number if you have any concerns, and are there to meet you with the key.The owners are registered on the site we have never had any problems with payment it has always been easy and convenient. Another site you may want to look at is beniflats. hope this helps

Thanks chrissy it always helps when you know someone else has done something you want to try
i will try your recomendations hopefully they will have what we are looking for we are after a long stay
for 6months in the winter so should get a good deal

Which area are you wanting to stay in in Spain. If it`s Benidorm, there are quite a few letting agents in Benidorm. You could also look at Alpha rooms and Wintersunshine holidays. For a 6 month let I would be very wary about paying all of it up front to a private let at least if you use an agent you can pay be credit card and if anything goes wrong the credit card company will sort it out.

swift, I need more details, but i may be able to help. I know a couple of people (owners) who rent for the winter months. What do you need and what months are you looking for? Let me know, by PM if necessary and I will see if I can help.
