Recent analysis shows the following information about holiday apartments in Bulgaria. The observations were drawn from a database compiled from the top three websites advertizing holiday rentals in Bulgaria.  

1. There are close to 1000 holiday apartments for rent throughout Bulgaria. The number of apartments available for rent has not increased in the last several months after the collapse of property markets. However, there will probably be an increase in holiday rentals as individual investors try to recoup some of their investments over time.

2. Most the apartments are concentrated in three main resorts – Bansko which is a ski destination and Sunny Beach and St. Vlas that are on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Bansko and Sunny Beach combined account for about 60 percent of all holiday apartments available for rent.

3.The greatest number of offers are for one bedroom holiday apartments. These usually are designed to accommodate 4 people. Two people sleep in a standard bedroom and two more on a sleeper sofa in the living room. About 70 percent of the available apartments are one bedroom apartments. Most of the remaining 30 percent are studios. Therefore, the offers are mostly for a single family or for a couple. Bigger groups would have a tougher time finding properties to accommodate them.

4. One bedroom apartments in Sunny Beach rent out for about 300 euro in the high season. This is July and August. The low season from May to June and then September offer discounts of about 15-20 percent.

5. Rental prices are similar in St. Vlas and a bit cheaper in Varna and Nessebar. The difference is about a fifth of the price.

6.The data suggest that similar apartments in the same resorts can be offered at substantially different prices levels. For example, one bedroom apartments range from about 200 euro per week in St.Vlas to about 400 euro per week. Tourists should do a thorough search and will probably find a good deal.
