How to make sure you secure your dream Deia holiday rental for 2019November 23, 2018

One of the best things about winter is knowing you’ve got summer sorted. You may be wrapped up warmly against the cold but, in your imagination, you’re lounging by the pool. But to make sure your Deia dreams come true, you do need to move pretty quickly to book your Deia holiday rental.

Many people who’ve already fallen in love with the charms of Deia and the West Coast or discovered its ever-growing reputation will have snapped up their Deia holiday rental by now. It’s a smart move.

As Nikol Vlkova, Charles Marlow’s West Coast Rentals Manager explains, ‘Book now and you’ve got a reasonable chance of securing your Deia holiday rental at this year’s price. Leave it until January or February next year, and you’ll probably have to pay summer 2019 prices. But, as long as you book by March, there will still be plenty of availability. Also, some houses in Deia and the West Coast are listed with multiple agents and demand is very high in the summer, especially in July and August. If you’re ready to book and the house is you’ve fallen in love with is free on your dates, secure it as soon as you can.’

Last year, Nikol helped over 50 different families and groups of people find their dream Deia holiday rental with Charles Marlow. ‘I’m really proud of what we achieved,’ she says. ‘But, because we’re trusted by more and more clients, we are encouraging people to move quickly so as not to be disappointed. There are only a certain number of perfect rental properties and these go fast. I’d hate for anyone to miss out.’

What makes a popular property?

The Deia holiday rentals on Charles Marlow’s books are mostly three or four-bedroom homes for families with children. Larger homes are popular with groups of friends or more than one family.

In Nikol’s experience, it’s the properties with large pools in walking distance of the village that are rented first. ‘The most popular homes are behind Belmond La Residencia,’ she explains, ‘but there are also a few up by the church. As you can imagine, these have great views and get plenty of sunshine all day long.’

Are there any best-kept secrets? ‘We have some really popular homes for rent in Alconasser, between Deia and Soller. Alconasser is perfect if you’d like peace and quiet but want to be within short drive of great restaurants, bars and nightlife.’

What about couples? ‘There’s Casa Piña, a large and lovely one-bedroom apartment with great views. We’re working on being able to offer more choice for couples, especially newlyweds on honeymoon.’
