Depends where it is in Cabo Roig-in more normal times the strip is very busy and noisy in the summer. Do you have the address or name of urbanisation?

Know exactly where you mean, off Calle de la mola? Near the R7/8/9 swimming pool opposite the big car park? What number is it? Depending on where can be very different noise wise.
Semi detached do exist but very different price range to the quads.
It's a 5 min walk to a small commercial centre with a large supermarket and some small bars and restaurants. The bus stops here to go to the strip and Medical Centre and the beach too. A further 5 min walk takes you to a much newer commercial centre with a bigger choice of bars and restaurants.
The bus in the opposite direction takes you a 5 min drive to 2 golf courses (Campoamor and Las Ramblas) and the large La Fuente centre with a lot of choice, 2 more large supermarkets nearby and a bank plus opticians, the usual large Chinese emporium and other businesses.
A car is always useful and saves waiting around in what can be very intense heat in the summer.

Noise would be an issue for me, Pubs and Restaurants would not bother me either, Eat out 1 or 2 a week, more into gyms and sports, peace and quiet, Think I would find lack of privacy an issue in quads , Storage I would require, but was told I could purchase a good lock up for about 7k euros, Guess it would cost much the same to run a car in Spain as Ireland, did intend getting about on a Push Bike. Cant give you a property number only doing a virtual viewing but no intention of buying through this process would need to be standing in it and spend a week or 2 in the area, asking price is 125k full furnished, dont think i would be offering that price, What do people do in July and August in very Hot weather, Your advise is greatly appreciated,
Thanks again

Is it the one with Valentines which has just been reduced from 135k? Very good spot and all day sunshine which is a must over the winter months. There is a very large, deep storage cupboard on the solarium with these and another good sized storage area on the side. Depends what you would need it for. Certainly a bike would go in these or could be secured in the area between the terrace and balustrade. 7k seems high to me for a lock up. If you go with that area there are apartments with underground storage areas a short way further down which owners will rent out very reasonably.
In July/Aug life does change when the temps and humidity rise. This is when you need your air con -quiet units a must in the bedroom-and most people I know tend to get out early to do their errands etc, get any housework out of the way and then find a cool spot for the rest of the day. I find I do a very light salad lunch which we have outside in the shade and then am in and out of the pool. Bbq much much later in the day with friends. Life slows down as the heat rises.
Clubs and societies tend to stop for these 2 months. The beach can be a good place to be as there is usually a breeze but then it can be pretty packed in the summer.
Good idea to rent whilst checking areas out.

The Bunaglows that Valentine's have is a different one, but it is a much better one, than Bungalow I look at, if you stroll down page here you will find it, It a Manchester contact number,
How much storage do I need,???, i ask myself that 10 times a day , as if and when world get back to some sort of normality , I will be retired and as i work as a Carpenter have accumulated a lot of tools, and cutting my ties with Ireland, if that is a good idea or not, I wont need tools in Spain, but I would and will get involved with some organisations that help the less well off,, I will need some tools
It a guess from me, but do live in Coba Roig area as your knowledge is very good about the area
What put me off quads is small dividing wall at side of house, are small dogs allowed in these complex
Could you explain urbanisation to me

I did scroll all the way down but couldn't see anything re another bungalow. Do you have a link for it at all? I would be very interested to see it.
If the Valentine's property is much better than the one you are looking at why not go for that one. I know the owners at Valentine's and I do know that it is being reduced to 125k, they are in the process of dealing with this now.
My late husband inherited all his own grandfathers tools ( he had also been a carpenter) and I do understand the reluctance to get rid of tools which are so hard to get anymore, certainly the quality. I certainly wouldn't get rid of all of them and you will find you will need a good selection to do things for yourself. These bungalows do have enough storage for a good selection, especially if you put in some shelving. Wood is expensive in Spain but you would be able to get metal racking at a reasonable price from somewhere like Leroy Merlin. The roof storage areas in particular are very deep.
Yes I do know this area very well and have friends who have lived there. All organisations have communities and there are certain rules which are in place because of Spanish law and others in place due to the owners voting for them. In this San Jose Playa Golf 2 one they are allowed 2 animals so a dog would be ok. An agent selling a property would be able to obtain the community rules for you to see. The small walls have often had permanent extensions to them by adding balustrades, decorative blocks or building the walls up. There are precedents already set for these amongst the bungalows so this wouldn't be a problem but a less permanent answer might be to have some sort of fencing around the exterior above the levels of the walls. They can easily be made more private. The end bungalows give far more space for you and remember that they are not all lived in permanently. It will (usually) be much busier during the summer months but I bet only a quarter of them, at the most, are permanently lived in. The problem you anticipate with noise may not be a problem at all. Bear in mind that any property with an attached wall may have some noise issues if you have noisy neighbours-Spanish properties are not known for their soundproofing! A friend had problems with an adjoining neighbours staircase and both neighbours got together to have some sound proofing material installed which didn't cost a fortune and has worked very well.

Morning from Sunny South East of Ireland
The other Bunaglows for sale is with Property and Villas in Spain, I was talking to Robert Lysdale,
Yes Bunaglows interest me as you have answered a few questions, is Coba Roig a Flat area, I would expect some noise as it a Holiday /Tourists area, but late nightt parties loud music I could not handle like most people of my vintage, I enkoy my sleep and peace
The neighbours in other Bungalow I am lead to believe were British/Irish as Bungalow had gutters on it, a rare sight in Spain I was told.
Yes I would like to view your friends Bungalow, but if they need fast sale I would not be able to visit Spain until September October time, as I will not travel until I recieve my vaccine, and travel is permitted,, i have no date yet as to when I recieve vaccine, Things in Republic are moving at a snails pace and it one bit of bad news after another, Astra Zennca.
I was going to ask you if you would recommend that Bungalow and area to friends or relatives, Do you drive over there, I suppose a Car is very handy for Day trips shopping etc

Hello Sligogent,
Am also from SE Ireland with a quad in Playa Flamenca. We travel over by car each year in October great now with ferry from Rosslare to Bilboa. Approx 8 hour drive to Torreveija. Unfortunately did not get over this year due to covid so looking forward to October booked on ferry for 8th October. We are fortunate as we have had our 2 jabs of Pfizer vaccine just over 2 weeks ago. Cabo Roig has a great selection of bars and restaurants on what they call the strip. We live near Ferns, if you want to discuss anything we could meet up over a drink when we are allowed.
