In the heart of the Costa Brava, surrounded by its beautiful greenery and characteristic coves, Maaike and Bas found their dream home. Their story, told by Maaike in a conversation with Noah, reveals a deep appreciation for Spain, and in particular the Costa Brava, which had long been their favourite destination. Bas, who had previously bought land in northern Spain, shared this love and fell in love with the area during holidays with his children. Their search for the perfect house was an adventure in itself, guided by fate and close friends, and ultimately perfectly supported by Quality Estates.
The journey to their dream home was a mix of coincidence and serendipity. After an unsuccessful search and a near purchase that fell through at the last minute, a tip from Quality Estates led them to a house they had previously viewed with interest. This house, which had previously been noticed by themselves and then by a friend, turned out to be the home of their dreams. Their story highlights the importance of local knowledge and networking in finding the perfect home.
With her background as an interior designer, Maaike took charge of renovating and furnishing the house. She praises working with Quality Estates, especially Danny, for realising her vision down to the smallest details. The result is a home that not only fulfils their aesthetic desires but also meets the practical needs of their composite family.
Quality Estates played an integral role in their experience, not only in finding and designing their home but also in its day-to-day management. From cleaning by Mandy to rental by Romy, the Quality Estates team has ensured that their home is always ready for both personal use and rental. All this makes it possible for Maaike and Bas to rent out the house during the popular summer months, while enjoying it themselves during the quieter periods.
Their trust in Quality Estates is strong, grounded in both personal experiences and the less positive stories of acquaintances who have worked with other companies. The team's proactivity and reliability are highly appreciated, as is the personal touch they add to their services. One small suggestion for improvement is the idea of a host or hostess welcoming and showing tenants around on arrival, which would further enhance the personal service.
Bas and Maaike's story, beautifully captured in Maaike's conversation with Noah, is a testament to their love of the Costa Brava, the search for their dream home, and the excellent service and support of Quality Estates. It is a story that speaks not only of the beauty and appeal of living on the Costa Brava but also of the importance of finding the right partners in making your dream home abroad a reality.
