Excellent stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was more than adequate, a little dated with some minor issues which were mailnly wear and tear but overall we would be being very picky to rate this property under 4 star plus. The location for us was perfect except for the noise from the busy roads either side but again would not deter us from booking again. The host was easily contactable and the property provides everything you need for a long stay. This area of Benalmadena has plenty of good quality bars and restaurants and close enough to all attractions. The hill to the apatment is a little strenous maybe for older people but again for us not an issue

Great accommodation and fantastic location
The house was a fantastic base for the family. 6 adults and two children. Plenty of space for everyone and the two outside areas meant you got the sun morning and evening. The host was very accommodating with our request for a later leaving time. The restaurants around were great and only a 10-15 minute walk to the sea front. Would definitely stay again

Holiday in Benalmadena Costa
Everything about this property is as described online. It is the perfect location to access the bus within 5 minutes or train or beach within 15 minutes if walking. John was always available if any concerns arose. Taxi to airport was 15 minutes. Would highly recommend.

Excellent holiday home, 100% recommended🌟🌟
Highly recommend this lovely family home! Well maintained, fully equipped and very spacious, with plenty of room for all 9 of our party. With age range from 77yrs through to 9yr old it worked for everyone. It's on a lovely quiet Urb with plenty of privacy but centrally located for all areas of Benalmadena. The pool was definately a large plus for us, and most days is like a private pool as limited use by others. The communication with the owners has been excellent, right from the start before even reserving the booking, answering any questions and providing recommendations. I would 100% recommend this property and hope to return in the future.

Good house for groups
For us the property wasn’t suitable. We are all in our 70s but having said that for a family and younger people would be ok. The house itself is in a quiet area on the edge of Benalmadena. Taxis were difficult to get but plenty of buses a short walk away that take you to the many attractions.

Hi Barbara, I'm glad you all had a good holiday. We are positioned midway from the beach to Arroyo de la Miel and as you say a quieter area but within 5/10mins walk of both. Taxis can always be arranged by calling the local taxi company or more lately using UberTaxis with very prompt arrival. regards John

Nice stay. Lovely house and great swimming pool.
The house is nice and clean. A bit old (90's) but the furniture is all IKEA and new. It was a confortable house and it is close to the beach enough to go walking (10 min walk). There was a heat wave in Spain and the house has no AC and although the house has many fans, at night it was hard to sleep. La casa está bien y limpia. Es viejita (de los 90, calculo) pero los muebles son de ikea y están nuevos. La casa está a 10 minutos de la playa y compensa hacerlos andando. No tiene aire acondicionado y por las noches era algo infernal dormir (aunque había muchos ventiladores)

Family home close to facilities
Good sized house/family home with front & back outside areas with bbq! (That was very important for us!) Communal pool available in the warmer months Home very well equipped with everything you could ask for. Very close to supermarket, beach, bars, restaurants etc. Bit of a hill to walk up to get to the house-but burning off all those calories walking to & from the house just means you can eat more icecream & tapas! Also within walking distance of train station. All in a very convenient & pleasant place to stay.

No Air Conditioning !!
Stayed at this property for 2 weeks in July/August, unfortunately in the final few days of our holiday we were informed by a local that it is illegal not to have free air conditioning in properties that are rented out . Also we were informed that a change of bedding and towels is not a normal occurrence , so we would have been sweating in the beds with the same bedding and using the same towels for 2 weeks if I hadn't asked for clean bedding & towels. i messaged the owner over 2 weeks ago with my concerns and not had a reply back.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar 2020
Sorry for delay in replying, have been on holiday myself. Re Air-Con - we have never had it installed in the property and so have never advertised it as with AirCon and all guests have always been aware of this prior to and at time of booking including yourself, ( so should not have been a surprise we may well be installing it in the future and when we do we will then say on any listing information) and the information you received "from a Local!!! ? whoever that was !" was factually incorrect, but fans are provided throughout ( always have been) and we also provided additional ones when you requested them. We offer a mid stay clean and change of linen if requested( and very rarely are)as guests normally enjoy the freedom of looking after themselves on holiday ( as not a hotel), Spain in July and August is warm - its one of the reasons people like to visit at that time of year. Its a shame that you only gave 2 stars especially as other guests give high ratings, comments and enjoy their stay in all weathers. Perhaps our home was not right for you, even though we provide the relevant information, but hopefully you enjoyed the rest of the facilities on offer, even if you forgot to mention them. kind regards John

Great place, would recommend
Excellent place to stay and amazing apartment. Big enough for the 8 of us, in a great location only 10 minute walk from the beach front and an excellent community pool 10 seconds from the back garden gate. I would highly recommend this place to anyone thinking of booking. The only negative was we walked into a dirty house and had to clean it ourselves due to a miscommunication on booking which happens, we was understanding but Sarah the manager came round (who was lovely) to apologise and brought some wine and chocolates to soften the blow.

Well presented, spacious, very secure, central location
Lovely spacoius property, plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 kids, nice pool area which we had to ourselves at times. The property was difficult to access on foot when we arrived as it is very secure with lots of gates and keys, we couldn't find our way in and the photograph of the front of the property now looks completely different because the trees have grown. This was quite uncomfortable especially for our 2 elderly parents in the heat. Our only other complaint is that the downstairs toilet had a foul smell which we reported, if you left the door even slightly open it would make the whole house smell, I rang the local contact who told me that it was an on going problem and advised me to close the toilet seat, put the plug in the sink and close the door, not very helpful really, especially as the plug for the sink was missing, hence we never used the toilet again, inconvenient for our parents. The house is situated roughly half way up the av Las palmeras road from the beach front to arroyo which is a really good location apart from the very steep hill, again, not really a problem for 4 of us but not really doable for the elderly. Even though I have highlighted a couple of minor negatives, I would still recommend this property, we had a great time in Benalmadena.

Well-located and equipped family townhouse in Benalmadena
Our party comprised 4 middle-aged blokes from the West Midlands. We have a one-week holiday in the sun each year. This year we chose Benalmadena. Prior to our stay, we hadn't realised quite how extensive the town is, let alone the neighbouring towns of Fuengirola and Torremolinos! John and Rachel's townhouse met all our needs. It was reasonably priced, clean, well-equipped, secure and spacious, enabled everyone to have their own bedroom, and was within reasonable walking distance of the town. We could always find a space to park our hire car in an off-road space right outside the property. The WiFi was efficient and we watched the World Cup Final on the TV! The owners accommodated our arrival and departure times. Their welcome pack and instructions covered all eventualities.

This property is in a great location near bars, cafes and supermarket. The beach is just a short walk away too! House had everything in it you could possibly want. The pool is directly behind the house and looked lovely, shame it was closed tho when we went. We would definitely recommend staying here to all our friends and family and will definitely return.

Wonderful property in a perfect location.
My wife and I stayed at John's townhouse for the whole of October and loved the place. Everywhere was clean and tidy upon arrival we knew straight away we were going to love our stay there. Wi-Fi was great, never any interruptions to the service, nice big tv with the main UK channels and Netflix/Amazon Prime. Nice and quiet in the evenings also which was a nice change from other places we have stayed. Lovely communal pool and grounds if you just fancy staying home. A good comprehensive "Welcome to our home" folder gave details how to work everything (tv remotes, washing machine etc). Future guests should check out John,s local restaurant recommendations as we found them to be excellent. The location of the townhouse is also absolutely perfect, just a couple of minutes walk away from the beautiful Paloma Park, 5 minutes away from the big Mercadona supermarket and 10 minutes from the beach. Arroyo town is also 10/15 minutes away with the excellent train station and service to Malaga, Torremolinos, Fuengirola and all stations in between. We only had 2 cloudy days out of 31 and being beach lovers most days were spent sunbathing and swimming then a nice cold beer at the Meeting Place cafe on the way back to the house. We felt so at home in the Townhouse and I guess being there so long made it more difficult to leave. The wife and I usually never stop talking but when we locked up on leaving day we barely said a word on the walk to Arroyo station to get the train back to the airport, literally too choked up to speak. Lots of lovely memories of a perfect holiday in a perfect home in a perfect location.

This is an excellent family home to enjoy your Benalmadena holiday!!
This property is excellent, it very much met our expectations. It had everything that we needed to enjoy our time in Benalmadena. A fantastic living space where my family sat and enjoyed our time, with wifi, good tv channels and a wii game also. There were a large selection of board games available as well as books to read, it was impossible to be bored here. There is a very accessible public transport system here also. A special thanks to John for making our stay extremely comfortable in their home. The area is private and quiet, with supernarkets and shops nearby within a short walking distance. Thank you.

Ideally placed for walking to the sea front and all the amenities it as to offer
We stayed for 4 weeks, for time of year weather good . Few things in property are a bit tired and need updating or replacing. Outside no sun beds and one of the chairs needs mending. Bathroom could do with an overall. Kitchen had plenty of utensils pots pans cups dishes glasses etc. Fantastic to have wifi. Plenty of room to sit . But had to be careful using electric items as the circuit switches went off if had too much on

The house is perfectly located between the beach & town of Arroyo de la Miel. Exceptionally well equipped kitchen, spacious & comfortable & excellent outdoor terraces. The pool does not open until June but have no doubt it is equally as nice & very well kept. The owner's were very accommodating & fast to respond. I would not hesitate to book this property again in the future & recommend.

Lovely home away from home in the sun
What a lovely place located in a great location which has some nice local amenities close by, we did the use the pool but was a little cold. We also walked to the park a few times & into the local town, plus we visited Malaga / torremolinos & plasa major shopping centre on the cheap train service. You can easily walk to the beach & a longer walk to the lovely marina area, plus you can book trips to Gibraltar & Marbella as we did. The only negative we could find is the house it's on a hill, so you can burn off all the food you consume in the local eateries

La casa está muy bien. Tiene de todo y se ajusta a la información del anuncio. Está más o menos cerca de la playa pero un poco más alejada del centro y la zona con más ambiente ( es más bien zona residencial). Los anfitriones son muy majos aunque, como viven fuera, te ofrecen comunicarte con otra persona si tienes algún problema. Nosotros pasamos unos dias geniales, lo recomiendo.
