There had to be a better way to rent out villas & apartments in Spain and during the course of the next few months we created our own rental website and began to advertise our properties across both the UK and Spain. Spurred on by some initial success, during 2004 we expanded our business to include the properties of our friends and neighbours and by the end of that year we had a successful small rental business comprising c:25 properties along the northern Costa Blanca coast.
By the middle of 2007 Rent Costa Blanca had grown to a position where we were working alongside more than 150 different owners who in turn owned in excess of 200 properties. It was at this point that Philip Webster joined the business. Philip subsequently became a director of the company during December 2008 and in conjunction with Lorna Davey, Philip took over the ownership of the company during 2009. Philip Webster is the principal contact for both owners and prospective guests, while Lorna is the Company Secretary and also assists Philip with the day to day running of the business.
During the past 6 years "Rent Costa Blanca" enjoyed steady growth of C:35% per annum and by the end of 2009 we had grown to a position where we were working for more than 270 different owners who in turn owned in excess of 350 properties. We have also expanded our geographical presence to the south in order to cover the Costa Calida and are now advertising our business throughout Europe and beyond.
We are a family business that provides the linkage between the owners of holiday properties on Spain's Costa Blanca and people who are looking for rental property in the region. We currently have an expanding portfolio consisting of predominently holiday homes, although a growing number of our owners are also happy to offer their properties for rental for longer periods.
While we cannot guarantee the accuracy of either the descriptions or contents of the properties, rental guests can at least take some comfort in the knowledge that someone at Rent Costa Blanca has seen these rental properties and that at the time that they were visited, the photo's and descriptive text shown on the property webpage were judged to provide a broadly accurate reflection of the property. Our basic test is a simple one - that we would be happy to rent the property and holiday in it ourselves. After all,
ends when the booking has been confirmed and the final payment has been received. By this stage rental guests will be in direct contact with either the owners of the properties that they have decided to rent or the owners own property management team in Spain.

A tour in the city would usually start in the Paseo Maritimo, a promenade, or Explanada de Espana where both tourists and local people stroll under shade provided by two rows of tall palm trees. The Iglesia de Santa Maria is in the square of the same name and is one of the city's most famous monuments. Municipal Art Museum is in the Casa de la Asegurada where paintings are on display. The Symbolis Fortress, the Castillo de Santa Barbara, is located 200 metres up on Benacantil hill. This castle comprises three different enclosures each at different heights on the bare rock. The lower enclosure dates from the Bourbon era, the middle precinct from the sixteenth century and the upper is part of the site of the original fortress. The castle had drawbridges, dungeons, living quarters for the nobility, turrets, a gunpowder arsenal and the eighteenth century chapel, Ermita de Santa Barbara. It can be entered from Paseo de Gomiz through a tunnel 200 metres long which has been dug into the rock. At the end of the tunnel are two lifts which go up to the fortress.
