About Karen Carter
We are an active retired couple living in York.
Karen Carter purchased this Apartment in 2008
Why Karen Carter chose La Florida
We wished a property that was easily accessible from the airport in a climate with virtually guaranteed sun all year round. We enjoy escaping from the British climate and soaking up the sunshine. The local beaches have beautiful white sand - hence the name Costa Blanca - and are clean with good facilites such as bars and play areas for children. When we have been more active we have explored the area walking or cycling along the coast or inland in the mountains. Torrevieja, Alicante, Cartagena are within an hours drive and have sites of cultural interest plus Valencia is accessible for a day trip.
What makes this Apartment unique
We love sitting on the front terrace of our apartment watching the sun go down while drinking a glass of local wine. We also enjoy walking around the area and visiting the many local cafes, bars and restaurants. We love the fact that there is plenty to do whether we wish to relax at the beach or explore the area either by foot, bike or car. When we are in our holiday home we can chill or be as active as we wish.

Great apartment!
Thank you for your positive review. We are pleased that you enjoyed staying in our apartment and that you found it well equipped. The swimming pool is now open and looking smart for next summer. You obviously enjoyed the local beaches many of which have the EU Blue Flag award. We look forward to welcoming you in the future.
Close to all amenities and walking distance to the beach.
We are pleased that you enjoyed your holiday and that you were comfortable staying in our apartment. Unfortunately electricity is expensive in Spain and using the heating in the cooler evenings will have consumed more electricity.
We hope that you will rent our apartment again in the future.
2nd year and will be returning for a 3rd
Thank you for your positive review. You obviously enjoyed staying in our apartment as you have already booked for next year. We look forward to welcoming you next summer.
Clean sunny apartment
Thank you for your positive review. With regard to the few points that you raised we will ask our maintenance man to tighten the bed frame. All the quilts are checked in the autumn and will be cleaned as necessary. It is very unusual for guests to require quilts during the summer as it is so hot unless the airconditioning is set very high. Unfortunately electricity is expensive in Spain and the airconditioning particularly uses a lot of electricity. On average our guests have purchased 20 Euros of cards per week this summer. The card meter only covers about half the cost of the electricity.
We are pleased that you enjoyed your holiday and hope that you will rent our apartment in the future.
Very nice and clean
Thank you for your positive review. We are pleased that you found our apartment comfortable and look forward to welcoming you in the future.

Thank you for your positive review. We are pleased to hear that you found the apartment ideal for a family and that you enjoyed your holiday. We look forward to welcoming you in the future.
Location
The apartment is situated within the La Cineulica Complex on the Oriheula Costa south of Torrevieja. La Cineulica is a modern complex with enclosed gardens and pool for residents use only and a children's play area nearby. The surrounding area is primarily quiet residential but within walking distance are supermarkets, banks, shops and numerous bars, cafes and restaurants. Along the Oriheula coast are many golden beaches many of which carry the EEC Blue Flag. The nearest beaches are 15 to 20 minutes walk and other beaches such as La Zenia, Cabo Roig and Cala Capitan are within a 10 to 15 minute drive. At Caboi Roig beach pedallos, canoes and other equipment can be hired. Caboi Roig and Cala Capitan are our favourite beaches. At both beaches there are play areas for the children and bars in the summer season. There is a foot and cycle path along the coast which has pretty coastal views. Torrevieja, a lively seaside Spanish town is approximately 15 minutes drive and has lovely beaches, a large marina/port, cafes, bars and restaurants and numerous shops. Other local family attractions include street markets, La Zenia shopping centre, Rio Safari Elche, Aquopolis water park and go karting. For golfers the championship courses of Villamartin, Las Ramblas and Campoamor are within a 15 minute drive. Further afield are the towns of Alicante, Orihuela and Cartagena all of which have sights of cultural interest and shops, restaurants and bars.
