About this property

Superb holiday & longer-term rental apartment 446 Dream Hills 2, Orihuela Costa

This modern apartment (with fibre broadband) on Dream Hills 2, Orihuela Costa, is just a short drive from Torrevieja & close to areas such as Villamartin & Playa Flamenca. It has 2 bedrooms (one double, one twin) with further sleeping space within the main living areas if required. Also, a cot is provided for a young child.

The property has been enhanced by enclosing an outside terrace so that it can be used all year round and makes the rest of the apartment more spacious. There are also 2 bathrooms, one of which was completely renovated in 2022 to create large walk-in shower instead of a bath, with the 2nd having a smaller shower cubicle. Both have a WC and wash basin which is excellent for larger groups!

The kitchen has good facilities whilst the living area has dining facilities as well as a TV (with Firestick). In addition to a balcony the property has a large, private roof solarium that's perfect for sunbathing or having a BBQ. ** New for 2024 we have installed a pergola on the roof (see photos) that provides some respite from the sunshine**.

There is air conditioning in the lounge and both bedrooms.

You can also use 2 communal swimming pools approx 50 yards away and though not Olympic size, it is great for a refreshing dip!

Getting about: We would recommend that you have your own car whilst renting this apartment. Whether you are flying into Alicante or Murcia, there are numerous car rental options and we're happy to make some recommendations.

Generally speaking fuel in Spain is a little cheaper than in the UK so take advantage and explore as much of the Costa Blanca as you can. Getting about is remarkably straightforward to an easy-to-follow road network although in order to assist with this, in the apartment you will find directions to some of the major attractions as well as essential amenities.

Enhanced features: We have enhanced the lower terrace / balcony so that it can be used all year-round. During the summer the windows can be opened so you benefit from the breeze but in the cooler months you can shut the wind out yet still benefit from the sunshine.

In doing this it also makes the rest of the property feel bigger. You can choose to eat on the terrace rather than the main living room or instead if you may prefer to have a bit of peace and quiet whilst others watch TV, you can get away from it. This will particularly benefit larger groups and people who rent the property for longer periods and therefore more likely to spend more time inside.

Although not a special consideration, the double glazing also offers extra security benefits whilst also helping to minimise external noise and retain heat (cool or hot).

Our property is also a registered with the authorities to be rented out to tourists (our Tourist Number is VT-468394-A). This means the property meets and complies with stringent requirements and offers Guests a level of assurance they may not get if renting an illegal rental property.

The property is very nice indeed and comfortable, located very close to shops and restaraunts. It is only a short drive to the beach from Los Altos and to Punta Prima and Playa Flamenca where you can find the night life. Tha solarium is great with BBQ, tables and chairs and sun loungers. I would recommend this property for your stay in this area of the Costa Blanca

A clean and well equipped apartment, with a homely
We had a pleasant trip over for a few days. Ian was great with us beforehand and so we knew what to expect. The key holder met us on time and we knew she was there if we needed her. A clean and modern apartment, we didn't spend much time there, but all the facilities were there that you would need for a longer stay.

Great apartment
The 3 of us spent the last week of August and the first week of September in Ian’s apartment. This is the 3rd time in as many years that we have stayed in the area and this stay was as exceptional as the previous 2. The apartment has everything you need both inside and in the outside areas. The location is very quiet although there are 2 very good bar/restaurant areas less than 10 minutes walk away. A car is required to enjoy the local beaches and for longer excursions to the lovely towns of Murcia and Elche. I would recommend this property to everybody, both young and old, and would hope to stay here again on any future visits to this area.

A very nice holiday
First of all, the communication from the owner before, during and after the holiday has been exceptional and the keyholder met us on time. The key holder was punctual and very helpful. The apartment was clean and well maintained and with a layout that would suit most people. All of the facilities worked really well and we were all very comfortable for the whole fortnight. We really liked the size of the rooftop solarium (marvelous !) for sitting unbothered in the sun. Loads of room to spread out either in the sun or shade if needed. Plenty of sunbeds and chairs. With a car neither Torrevieja (town, harbour, beach, market on Friday) or La Zenia (beaches, shopping center) are far away (only a 5 minutes drive). We would recommend this property to everybody, both young and old, and would hope to stay here again on any future visits to this area. Thanks to Ian (the owner) and John and Juliana (the keyholders) for helping us have the perfect holiday!

GREAT APARTMENT
First of all I would like to say the description by the owner (Ian) is 100% accurate.We was met by Janette and shown around and handed over the keys and she told us if we need anything she is only a phone call away.As you walk in the apartment it has a spacious feeling and was spotless.The aircon in all the rooms was a boon as it was a very hot week so it made the apartment even more comfortable than it already was.If you like your TV the system has all UK channels and a built in video club with a choice of about 3000 films that was a nice touch.the solarium is a good place it has sun all day and is well equipt with everything you need (and the blow up pool does fit big people in it ha ha).We always rent a car so you can make full use of the area but you can get by without one as taxis and buses are an easy way to get around.There is an Aldi a few minutes walk away and next door to that is a new Merca china it is kind of a large general store that sells about everything.Also within east walking distance there are 2 commercial centres Via park 3 and Via park 5 both with bars and restuarants and VP3 has a pharmacy.So all in all we had a really great holiday and it made it even better as the apartment is in a quiet area.Ian has obviously worked very hard to make this place a good place to have a holiday. Thanks very much Bob & Kay

Great apartment highly recommend.!!
we spent a week at this apartment,we knew the area well as we had stayed on the next road in a friends apartment the year before so we decided to go again when our friends were over there. I was a little dubious of how the apartment would be with it being a rental property but i needn't have been as it is very well maintained. From enquiring about available dates to returning home it was a very stress free process as Ian kept excellent communication with us and with very speedy responses to everything i enquired about. I knew when i came across the advert for the apartment that the description was accurate having stayed on dreamhills 2 before, i knew the layout would be perfect for us,there was 4 of us myself,my partner and 2 teenagers so having 2 bathrooms was a god send especially when getting ready to go out to the nearby complexes,bars and restaurants. We didn't hire a car as the taxi services are very reasonable and getting about is very easy,I admit a car would come in handy if you want to travel to a lot of different places and maybe go to the bigger consum supermarket, but we found aldi and the closer consum to have all we needed as we ate out nearly every night. We stayed in August and it was extremely hot so the air con in the apartment was great and gave us quick relief from the heat.The roof terrace i think is fantastic for soaking up the rays and to basically chill and watch the sunset over the horizon which from the roof terrace you have a fantastic panoramic view of. I would highly recommend venturing out to cabaroig,it cost 13 euros in a taxi but you will find an abundance of restaurants ranging from italian to indian,we ate at Bushwackers where my friend had a kangaroo burger they do regular food too. We also went to Aquopolis the waterpark in torrevieja which was a good day out, the food there was quite expensive so i would recommend taking a picnic and plenty to drink. At the nearby via park III we enjoyed the food at CKone the prices were very reasonable,we even went for a full breakfast a couple of mornings,the lime bar was our regular haunt and if you like a quiz they have one on a friday but get there early as it gets packed out.I also recommend a jaunt down to the abbey it's a lovely bar/restaurant with a huge outdoor stage area where you can watch cabaret,they also have a childs play area. so in short we had a fantastic time and the apartment is perfect for anybody.Thank you very much Ian booking with you was a pleasure.

We liked the apartment and especially the rooftop. Everything was as described and we had a wonderful vacation. The key holder Richard was available for whatever time we let him know. Having access to a rooftop and a shared community pool was great. Kitchen was also well equipped. It is has just enough space for 4 people. Thanks for letting us stay at your apartment!

Excellent stay from start to finish
Excellent communication with the owner Ian before arriving and also Richard locally who met us at the property. The accommodation is as described and the location great. We have enjoyed lots of walking and cycling and the weather has been brilliant. Nothing is too far away and being able to walk to the local Aldi is a big bonus. Even though it is January there is lots of restaurants and bars open and we had a great time at the large Friday market in Torreviaja. We have found beautiful beaches with just a few people on them to enjoy the 20+ degree temperature. The roof terrace is amazing and has excellent views. Thanks Ian.

Initial contract very good. All questions asked were answered promptly. Accommodated well for my 4 month old too. Was very clean upon arrival and in a nice peaceful neighbourhood. Was only short walking distance to via park and aldi and a nice cut through to get to my grandparents. Will stay here again in the future.

Home from home
Booked for 7 week stay (currently on our third week). The apartment is perfectly equipped for long term stay and looking forward to rest of stay. Aldi and two small commercial centres with bars and restaurants within easy 5-10 minute walk. Walk to the beach or La Zenia Boulevard is about 45 minutes. The apartment is surrounded with a mix of holiday let's and long term let's with neighbour informing us that peak season can be busy. Here late September/October weather has been fab and pools to ourselves.The roof terrace is perfect, good views, comfortable sunbeds, large parasol for shade and a shower to cool off. We drove down from UK so having car here for a long stay is a bonus.For anyone thinking of driving I can recommend it. We took Portsmoth to Le Havre ferry, stayed near Bordeaux first night, Teruel for second night then half a day travel to apt. Cost of tolls £70, Hotels £112 and petrol £140. The roads all the way were traffic free,no roadworks,no accidents, no hold ups, much better than UK. Overall can't fault apt, contact with owner for minor issues was easy and dealt with quickly. Would recommend and would book again.

Great place to stay
Great holiday from start to finish. From the booking process to leaving. Lovely clean apartment with everything you need for your stay. We had no problems whilst we were there so didn’t need to contact the key holder Caz. I’m sure Caz would have gone out of her way if we needed any help. The apartment has two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a lovely big roof solarium with plenty of sun lounges and table and chairs. It is close to the amenities within a short walk. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anybody.

An ideal Winter Break
We took a short break in January and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this well equipped and personally serviced apartment. The rooftop area proved to be the place for relaxing when not exploring the local area, and we enjoyed the warm weather in great comfort and safety. A car for a short stay would be essential but there are local amenities within walking distance, my husband was able to watch his favourite team in the local bar and managed make some new like minded friends. Overall the service both from Ian and Janette who looked after us whilst there, could not be faulted.

Good 2 bed house, with large roof top
The listing is accurate and the photos are representative. The roof space is huge with plenty of room for a large group to use and relax in. The indoor dining area was fine for us (just 2 of us) but a larger group would have to eat on the rooftop. We were pleased to see that basic cooking provisions such as salt, pepper, oil, ketchup etc were left by previous guests and not removed by cleaners which happens in some properties. If you are only eating in once or twice, the cost of buying these things is otherwise disproportionate. The property was clean and the owner provided great service - the info provided prior to setting off about the house and the area was top notch. We would recommend the property to a friend or relative. Local restaurants you should try - Nautilus serves great paella on the beach at Punta Prima and Punta Prima restaurant (further down the coast) served up a very good menu del dia - 3 courses + coffee for just 10 Euro. The local bar was very friendly and has Sky Sports etc. There is a well stocked ALDI very close by which we used every day for bread, wine, cheese etc. Very handy.

About the host

Hosted by Ian Turley

Host profile image
I'm really passionate about renting our property out and take it very seriously. However, with that comes great responsibility when you think people are quite often deciding to have their only or main holiday in your property and are using their hard-earned money to pay for it.

Therefore, I go to great lengths to make sure the experience of booking the property is straightforward and hassle-free. If people are used to booking a 'package deal', going straight to the Owner can be a bit unnerving and so I think it is important to show this option is no less professional whilst also being more personal.

As for the property itself, I pride myself on continually improving it. Over the years a lot of time and money has been spent so that each and every year it has been improved in lots of small and big ways and the number of return guests is testament to the fact that we're getting it right.

Why they chose this property

I think the fantastic reviews say everything. However, the amazing comments from all kinds of different groups is amazing - it doesn't seem to matter how young or old guests are, whether adults only or with children, everyone seems to really enjoy not only the apartment but the area.

I would encourage people to use our property as a base as to only see the immediate area would be a missed opportunity - there are some great places to visit and explore within a short drive. However, if all you want is to put your feet up and relax then that's fine and we've made sure you can do that both inside and outside.

What makes this property unique

The apartment strikes the right balance of being homely without feeling like you're stopping in someone else's home.

We have air con throughout whereas most properties of this size may only have it in the lounge and/or 1 bedroom; we have units in both bedrooms and the lounge.

We've effectively extended the inside of the property by enclosing a terrace. You can open all the windows when it's warm but it makes this a space you can use all day and all year making it feel much more comfortable.

Overall, the property is furnished to a very good, comfortable standard and we keep it that way. So when we are there, we always set aside time to do any repairs or touch up the paintwork, and generally think about how we can improve the apartment. When I think about how much it has changed in the last few years it is amazing and I hope to keep saying that for many years to come.
