All the good quality accommodation in the Mediterranean is either booked up for the summer holidays 2013, or ridiculously expensive, right? Wrong! If you're still looking for a great summer holiday rental, Only-apartments.com has good news. There is still plenty of great accommodation to be found, if you know where to look. This is partly because the Spanish, French, Italians and Germans tend to book their holiday accommodation for August later than the British, and partly due to more apartment owners making their accommodation available than ever before.

Here are some tips from Only-apartments on finding August holiday rentals at a good price:

• Be flexible and prepared to mix and match - some properties have windows of 3 or 4 days of availability, rather than an entire week
• Be open-minded about destinations. Look for the bigger cities and beach resorts with plenty of accommodation stock. Small islands like Formentera or places "to see and be seen" like Portofino tend to be heavily oversubscribed
• Round up some more relatives - the bigger your group, the better the savings will be. You'll save more per head, and some apartment owners with larger properties may find it harder to find bookings

Plus five top apartments by the sea from under £15 per head per night in August 2013. At the time of writing, each of these had availability for at least one whole week in August 2013.
