As we wrote about earlier, we had been having many issues with our initial villa, so we finally decided to make a change. After contacting almost every realtor in town, we came across a place we could call home for the next 9 months. The property is called Villa del Sol and is not far from our old villa. However, it is in a newer area and was only recently rented out as of this summer.
Everything is brand new and it is huge (5 bedrooms!), bright & airy with a large open kitchen. This is very unusual by Spanish/EU standards. The villa has an amazing deck looking across the entire area towards Mt. Montgo and the Old Town across a small agricultural valley. The kids are fascinated by Montgo and love to watch the clouds roll in and sit on top. Christian is set on climbing it someday.
We are in the process of supplying the final touches on linens, supplies, etc. as it was originally built for sale and until the market crashed (yes, they are feeling the heat big time in Javea), was not intended to be rented out.
Our big purchase yesterday was a small espresso maker - this is one material thing we will quite enjoy while we are here! Now we just need to navigate the phone line/internet installation process (aargh, more bureacracy!), and we'll be pretty darned comfortable.

Don't think I have ever seen Casey with such a grumpy face in wonderful dress. Give her some secret girl power for me!
Muy Bonita!!! Great rooms, fabulous decks and views. We had to stay an extra day to enjoy just sitting on the patio staring at the views of the city and Montgo.
The kids were great, usually full of smiles despite Casey's flamenco dancer impersonation. But I think they were afraid we would never leave.
We miss you all!
Susan and Erik
