Good location, well appointed villa, loads of fun in the pool. Worth paying for a quality villa, recommend it for a family holiday. Thanks to the owner Catie and Audra the manager.
No cleaning materials. A bottle of water on arrival wld have been great. Dbl bed upstairs very hard so someone had to sleep in one of the bunks. Upstairs shower very dodgy getting in and out , a rail wld be great. . Had a wonderful stay. Villa was immaculate and location on the beach was amazing. Taxis to town so easy and the two beach clubs walking distance. Couple of issues with pool but Audra had it fixed asap. Wld highly recommend to anyone looking for something a bit special.
We highly recommend this property for an extended family holiday. We spent four weeks here, at at one time there were 11 of us. 7 adults and 4 children. The house offered everything for an amazing holiday. It was spacious inside and fully equipped to meet our needs. The balcony off the master area was lovely and the views were stunning. In fact there were views from all the upstairs rooms.
The outside area was superb. The pool and surrounding area was a great area for family fun and there were quiet areas where one could sit and relax.
The Villa itself was about a 15 minute walk from the main area of Corralejo and the sand dunes were a very short drive away.
Catie the owner was very easy and helpful to deal with and should we have another large family holiday this is where we would book.
The location is fabulous, easy walking distance to the town and the beach. A couple of very close beach bars and a supermarket were handy too.
The property is spacious and plenty of seperate spaces to relax (especially when in a big group). Rooms downstairs with bunks and twin beds - ideal for the kids.
3 double/twin rooms upstairs. Nice large dining table for family get togethers.
The outside space is great - good size pool and astro lawn make it fun to be out there.
The kitchen has everything you could need. The shower room was freshly refitted and very handy being on the ground level so good for the pool.
The local host was great - showing us round the property and answering any questions we had.
We did find a couple of issues but nothing that detracted from the holiday (no locks on the bathrrom doors and a landing window that was dificult to close to wistled when the wind got up) - nothing that would detract from this 5* review.
We'd stay there again - it was great value, a fab location
and a lovely family house.
We were a group of 8 adults including 91 year old Dad and a sister with an ankle injuryđ± coming from 2 different parts of the UK.
The house was just as we expected, clean, well equipped, loads of towels for everyone. We were asked to ensure the house towels didnt go outside which we respect. The property manager wasnt able to greet us as she had an emergency with another property but instructed us and came round the following day to check in with us. No problem at all.
The pool was great for cooling off but not necessarily to practice swimming the channel but it was perfectly adequate. Lots of seating inside and out.
Theres a little supermarket round the corner about 2 minutes walk but if you want a big shop youâd have to walk further.
The beach was literally across the road with a couple of bars nearby and you could walk the whole length of the beach to the far end of the town which was probably quicker than going along the road.
If I had a couple of moans it would be that I think the description of a 10 minute walk to amenities isntâŠ.its more like 15 minutes which was a bit much for Dad. The âAnkle Injuryâ got a mobility scooter which was amazing and there was even somewhere to park in the front yard and an extension lead available to charge it up. Also air con would really set this up to be a perfect spot. We kept the shutters down in the master bedroom.
If we were to do it again we would have no hesitation in renting this place again. We loved it overall.
We were a party of 12. The villa was amazing just as described could not fault it in anyway at all. Communication with owner was excellent, would definitely recommend this villa.
The villa was perfect for our week away with family and friends. There was plenty of space for our large group and the children. And the pool was enjoyed!!!
The villa is well equipped for large groups, and with the large table is was perfect for eating at home.
Great location - close to beaches, supermarkets and a short walk into the main part of town. Nice walk to the start of the dunes too!
Great villa and great location!!
The property was amazing⊠checking in and out were super easy. The house was close to everything. Plenty of shops close by also a scooter parking area right on the corner.
Wir möchten uns fĂŒr den schönen Aufenthalt im Ferienhaus bedanken. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt. Das Haus ist sehr gut und groĂzĂŒgig ausgestattet.
Das Haus war sauber der Pool schön warm. Die Kinder konnten zu jeder Zeit in den Pool, auch wenn das Wetter micht mitspielte. Wir kommen wieder.
This Villa is everything we hoped it would be. Super clean and comfortable, well stocked, amazing views and location and tonnes of space to relax. Pool was really clean and bigger than we expected. Itâs only a short walk from a few beach bars and a supermarket. Really no need to hire a car unless you want to explore further afield. Lovely little market square under 10 mins walk away, with the main street (full of bars, restaurants, shops) a few minutes further. The water park was only a 20 minute walk away too (or 5 mins on a Link E scooter). Fabulous!
Overall this was an amazing villa . Its a 2 min walk to the beach , and maybe 5 mins to sunset lounge , a 15 min walk down the beach will see you in town or alternatively rent a scooter and have a fun 5 min scoot . The villa was absolutely spotless with everything youd ever need . Some of the showers could probably do with replacing ,i imagine they dont last too long in a humid country as they look a little rusty but thats a minor issue .
I wont hesitate to book this place again and were already discussing when we can get back out ..
Fantastic property, great location,
Good communication with owner. Great that someone meet us at the villa and was able to tell us about the villa and rules for COVID we needed to follow.
A very relaxing holiday enjoyed by all.
Die strandnah gelegene Villa Rafiki bietet viel Platz fĂŒr zwei Familien, allerdings sind zwei Kinderzimmer im feuchten Keller mit kleinen Minifenstern. Der Boder im Flur im Keller ist so kaputt, dass es 1 cm Breite Fugen zwischen dem Bodenbelag gibt! Stolperfallen garantiert, dazu sind die Kleider / BettwĂ€sche dort immer etwas feucht! Oben in den BĂ€dern sind alle Wasserarmaturen beschĂ€digt und mĂŒssen ersetzt werden! Die Armaturen funktionieren aber sie sind auf eine Art verrostet. Das passiert durch die MeernĂ€he und die feuchte Luft. Die UnterschrĂ€nke von den den Waschbecken sind tatsĂ€chlich angerostet und die Beschichtung teilweise abgeblĂ€ttert. Die HantĂŒcher haben eine gute QualitĂ€t und es gibt ein groĂes Strandtuch fĂŒr jede Person zusĂ€tzlich. Das war super, obwohl wir auch eigene StrantĂŒcher dabei hatten. Es gibt keine Moskitonetze vor den Fenstern und wir mussten uns beim Chinaladen etwas besorgen, denn in einer Nacht hatten wir 32 Moskitos in einem Zimmer! Die Betten sind sehr groĂ, das ist ein Vorteil und es gibt viel WandschrĂ€nje zum Verstauen der Sachen! Allerdings habe ich wĂ€hrend unseres Aufenthaltes die BettwĂ€sche abgezogen und gewaschen, da kann die groĂe Ăberraschung, die meisten Kissen und auch der Matratzenbezug waren voller gelber Flecken und brauner SchweiĂrĂ€nder, das war unangenehm. Die Kissen sollten einfach gewechselt werden- bei Ikea möglich und nicht teuer. Der Matratzenschoner ordentlich gewaschen und gebleicht werden. Wir hatten kleine Kissen dabei, die wir auf die Kissen im Haus legen konnten. Unter den Betten war es leider etwas schmutzig, aber das war fĂŒr uns nicht dramatisch. An den Fenstern fehlen teilweise die FensterlĂ€den und so ist es schwierig zu lĂŒften ohne dass die Fenster immer komplett offen sind. Ansonsten ist das Haus prima, es gibt eine Alarmanlage und guten Wachschutz. ParkplĂ€tze sind vor dem Haus und die Gegend ist sehr ruhig, gegenĂŒber gab es zwei Tage Paty mit 9 jungen MĂ€nnern , aber die waren dann schnell wieder weg. In der KĂŒche ist alles was man braucht, alles funktioniert gut, allerdings waren wir immer essen und haben im Haus nur gefrĂŒhstĂŒckt. Es gibt auĂerhalb einen gemauerten Grill, den haben wir nicht benutzt. Der Pool war nach 4 Tagen auch warm, es kam ein Mann, der auch den Pool gereinigt hat! Ein paar Liegen drauĂen am Pool sind schon gerissen und brauchen neuen Nylonstoff. Es gibt eine tolle Holzterrasse und wir haben dort morgens Yoga gemacht. Es gibt noch einiges zu tun im schönen Haus!!
A perfect location for our Easter holiday. Our two families fitted into âVilla Rafikiâ with room to spare and everything we needed was there plus lots of extras!! The pool is beautiful and worth while spending a few extra pounds for this to be heated- lots of toys and inflatables to use by the pool and weâve added a few fishing nets to the bundle for other children (and big children!!) to use for crabbing!
We made the most of all of the eating areas, verandas and balconies that the Villa had to offer and will miss seeing the morning sun from the balcony whilst enjoying a morning coffee whilst the children enjoyed a leisurely lie in....peace and quiet!!!
The centre of Corralejo is a ten minute stroll along the beach and there are some real gems of places to eat or grab some cocktails and tapas.
The girls are already planning a return trip and I donât think the adults will need much persuading!
Thank you for the loan of your lovely home â€ïž
Fabulous location- just right for beaches & town (both within walking distance). Lovely spacious villa & even better than photos as now has new kitchen & sofa. Great outside space with nice seating areas around the house. Fantastic views from much of the house & loved the view from kitchen window- washing up did not seem such a chore! A real home from home which makes for a relaxing holiday. Would not hesitate to stay again.
This was a perfect place to stay for our extended family. The location is fantastic, you can watch the surfers from the garden! Restaurants are not too far, but if you don't fancy the walk, the taxis are very cheap! There is a new kitchen and the lounge had been decorated - love the buddha pictures! Great service from the property manager and owner. We loved it so much we have booked again!
Woning is ruim en van alles voorzien. Heel leuk dat er ook zoveel speelgoed voor kinderen is.
Enig minpuntje was dat de grootste slaapkamer muf rook bij aankomst en de afvoer van de bijbehorende douche niet goed werkte.Na schoonmaak van de afvoer liep deze beter door.
Helaas hebben wij vanwege de harde wind en het gebrek aan zon weinig gebruik van het mooie zwembad en de heerlijke ligstoelen kunnen maken.
We had a lovely time at the villa. Some problems with the electrics tripping out and the alarm system. Apart from that it was a lovely place to stay and we had a wonderful Christmas break. We would recommend this villa to large groups/families. Weather was perfect for December and we speant time on the beach and in the sea. Pool was still cold even though heated. First private rental we have stayed that did not provide welcome pack. As we arrived late and there were 12 of us some bread and milk would have been appreciated for the next morning. Overall a nice place.
We are British and live in Switzerland with our 2 kids and our dog. We bought a place in Fuerteventura because we miss the sea and love to spend as much of our holiday time there as we can.
We love the island because we love surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing and being near to the sea. We are a very active family and there is so much to do on the island - cycling, swimming, triathlon training, running, sailing etc. We are also very close to the great restaurants and nightlife of Corralejo, which we very much enjoy.
The villa is so close to the sea, we can be out on the beach in minutes, surfing or building sandcastles, but we can also stay put and play in the pool and kick a ball around in the garden.
