Excellent location and everything you need within the property. The outside space was just right. The owner seemed to have provided everything we needed, both inside and outside the property, for example chairs, cold box, parasol and even beach towels.
G8 fir short relaxing break everything on doorstep
had
a wonderful week in an area of. Spain. I hadn't been to before and absolutely
loved it. Have family in Gibraltar and Valencia and as such had never been to
costa Almeria before! Wher we stayed was very spanish and had markets on nearly
every day ( you need a car or have to take a bus to some of these ) and if like
me you love a good market you won't be disappointed.
The house itself was
perfect for us and my partner made good use of the pool every morning. The only
minor fault really is it could do with a bigger TV although because we didn't
use the TV much it forced us to go out and as a result we found a sports bar on
the beach front ( again i can't remember the name sorry ) but he got to see his
beloved Newcastle United and I enjoyed some more wine and beach fun.
And what
a beach, beautiful flat sandy beach, surprisingly unpopulated Although it was
February I expect it will be a lot more crowded in the summer months.
The
food everywhere we ate was really really good and I don't know if is because of
the time of year we went but it seemed to me to be a lot cheaper than costa del
sol, I will just have to go back in the summer and check it out ( ANY EXCUSE ) ,
Some bars still hold onto the traditional Spanish custom of FREE TAPAS IF
YOU ARE ORDERING DRINKS. One afternoon we took a drive to Almerimar to meet some
friends who have a place there and we sat for several hours in a lovely corner
bar overlooking the. Marina ( can't remember the name sorry ) I think it had a
blue and white awning, anyway a handful of beers each and a few bottles of wine
, we must have had 3 or 4 drinks each minimum ( who's counting ) a multitude of
different tapas chosen from the menu and WAIT FOR IT , the bill didn't even come
to 10 euros a head.
Mitch who met us was very welcoming and helped us source
a key for the pool after our one was playing up a bit on one of the days.
We
Look forward to returning here next summer.
La comunicaciĂłn previa a la llegada no fue fĂĄcil,La urba estĂĄ muy bien y la piscina genial, el duplex tb estĂĄ bien salvo que no hay aire acondicionado en el salĂłn y hace calor por las tardes, el colchĂłn principal estĂĄ fatal, la cocina estĂĄ bien auqnue deberĂan cambiar sartenes y algunos utensilios de cocina, tiene sombrillas y sillas de playas ademĂĄs de nevera, que se agradece mucho, tuve dos conflictos un par de roturas y el anfitriĂłn se porto muy bien, asĂ que luces y sombras, con un coco Chon nuevo, aire en el salĂłn y un pelin mĂĄs de limpieza en zonas no habituales serĂa un diez, aun asĂ tuvimos una estancia agradable
Muy bien equipada, limpieza buena, aunque en cocina pudiera estar mejor pero es entendible, en general bastante bien... Con aire acondicionado y ventiladores, de no ser por eso nos morimos de calor. La piscina enfrente, genial y un patio delantero donde cenar, muy bien todo... Dormitorios baño terraza. RepetirĂamos
Repetimos en este apartamento de nuevo. A pesar de no resultar la cama muy cĂłmoda, nos gusta mucho la ubicaciĂłn. Este año tenĂa toppers de colchĂłn que hacĂa las camas mĂĄs confortables, aunque solo para las camas de 90 cm. SerĂa perfecto si pone lo mismo para la cama grande.
The apartment was clean and had all the facilities which you require for a self catering holiday.
The apartment is well located to the bus route and local bars, restaurants and the beach.
El aseo roto, la tapa de wĂĄter desencajada, la anterior estancia lo habrĂĄ roto y colocado de tal manera que parecĂa en buen estado pero en el primer uso se rompiĂł y ademas te la cobra
Solo entrega una llave, obligĂĄndome a salir siempre fuera
Hablas con el dueño y te miente,te engaña, te dice que me llevan otro juego ......mentira
El alquiler muy bueno, barato. Lo Ășnico que dice admite perros, pero es dentro de la casa, por la urbanizaciĂłn no dejan sacarlos. Por lo demĂĄs, esta bien el sitio.
La urbanizacion y el alojamiento esta bien ubicado pero le falta renovarse, las camas son incomodisimas, viejas, al igual que las sabanas que estan muy desgastadas, la verdad es que acabamos con dolor de espalda todos los dĂas y esto es algo bastante importante ya que el descanso es necesario para comenzar bien la jornada diaria.
El baño tiene lo justo y necesario, ademas tanto la estanteria de dentro del baño como la del espejo esta oxidada y vieja.
Tambien nos sorprendio que no hubiera utensilios basicos de cocina para fregar los platos por ejemplo...
Por otro lado la terraza de arriba no esta como aparece en las fotos, las hamacas tambien estan oxidadas...
Como valoracion global he de decir que esta pasable para lo poco que estas en la casa pero si quieres pasar tiempo en ella recomendaria algo mucho mas cuidado ya que no vale el precio que pagas.
Well located and equipped for our holiday. Loved the area and with beach just a few minutes away ,great for walking our dog.
I realise that its someone's home so overlooked the fact that there was a lot of personal things lying around did not bother me, but it may some people.WiFi worked well and we had everything we needed in the apparment.
If i had any criticism it would be the bathroom fittings a little tired and maybe the apparment may benefit from reversablA/C for the cold winter nights.
Really enjoyed our stay.
Place where we stay was OK!!
Only thing let us down was INTERNET.
According to owner (weather etc,,,,,,,),we had this problem(l donât agree).
Problem is the owner has other property in few houses down,
One router sharing for two houses !!!
Any way check the package what you getting,before you book!!
May be INTERNET is not included PACAGE !!!
Sunny, Convenient and Great Value - ALMOST PERFECT
What can I say, I have stayed here several times and each time I find something else I like about it. It might be a new bar or beach or new restaurant or new people that I've met but quite frankly I cannot get enough of this place.
There are shops, bars and restaurants all within a stones throw and I found a new Churreria where they serve the very tasty if not very unhealthy CHURROS , the fattest CHURROS I have ever seen and a serving for 2 people was only 3 euros.
I watched my sport in the evening at Colin's friendly Millionaire bar , I got take away pizza twice from Sicily the Italian take away in the same street as the complex and I didn't get to sample it but a guy I know has just opened up a Fish n Chip shop.
I had more tapas lunches than you can shake a stick at and the Chinese on Las Bouganvillas ( Main road side ) is to die for.
Like I said at the top of this email we enjoyed good weather, good food, paid about a third for drinks of what we pay in the uk, ate some amazing food and came home with a healthy glow .
I really cannot wait to go back and in fact I liked it so much I am considering buying a place out there.
Nothing more to say except I had a wonderful trip. The only blemish I can think of is it was a little too windy for me to bRave the swimming pool other than that it was quite simply perfect.
Good location on secure gated complex with swimming pool right opposite light bright and clean accommodation
good restaurants and bars within easy walking distance
Good meet and greet service by a personal friend of James the owner
We would recommend this property to friends we have already provisionally booked our 4 week winter getaway for next year

A nice, clean âhome-from-homeâ
The villa was exactly as described; just like a âhome-from-homeâ. We also asked for a welcoming parcel (essential stuff to save us from shopping), which helps when you arrive late.
Nice and clean with everything you need.
Although there are enough shops, bars and restaurants in the area, we hired a small car and went to some lovely markets and towns.
Will definitely be back.

I've traveled to Spain virtually every single year of my entire life and I absolutely adore the country. My parents used to take me along with my brothers and sisters and then I started taking my family and now my kids are older (no grand children yet) I am sure the habits will continue.
I am studying Spanish and will probably retire here in few years time, once the Spanish improves.
I am not ready to retire just yet as the UK is my main place of work but now that I have a home here I will visit as regularly as I can if for no other reason than the food iand the weather are amazing.
It seems a shame for such a lovely house to be empty when we are not there so it made perfect sense to utilise it as a holiday home for others to enjoy.
We looked at lots of properties over a period of about 3 years and initially I didn't want to view this house as I was adamant I needed to have 2 bathrooms, the real estate agent insisted and I am so glad he did.
With the exception of only having the one bathroom this property ticked every single other box.
Close to Beach - YES Spacious - YES Outside Space - YES Near Shops - YES Near Bus Routes - YES Swimming Pool - YES (and they are big plus theres a toddlers pool)
So I have to be honest it was a bit of a gut feeling as soon as we walked in. The place just grabbed us as its kind of quaint but spacious at the same time.
There is nothing I haven't already said, we looked at lots of properties over a 3 year period and with the exception of only having the one bathroom this property ticked every single other box.
Close to Beach - YES Spacious - YES Outside Space - YES Near Shops - YES Near Bus Routes - YES Swimming Pool - YES (and they are big plus theres a toddlers pool)
Also the area itself is very nice, typically spanish with Markets, wonderful Beaches, fantastic restaurants, the harbour.
If you ahve a car there is much to explore in the immediate region but if not you are close enough to all amenities for it not to be a concern.
So like i said previously this property was bought on a gut feeling as soon as we walked in. The place just grabbed us as its kind of quaint but spacious at the same time and has so much to offer.
