Fabulous well appointed property
We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. One of the best features being the enormous patio that has the sun from morning till night. The apartment itself is very equipped with everything you could possibly need to have a fabulous holiday including lots of beach towels and a couple of beach chairs. There is also Blade UK TV, which includes movies and also PRIME and Netflix. The bedrooms (and both have a TV) are very light and bright with the most comfortable beds ever. The living and dining area has traditional Spanish style furniture giving a very homely, comfortable feel. The kitchen is very well stocked to include everything you could possibly need to cater for family meals in. The apartment is also very close to all amenities. in fact the location couldn’t be better. The train station Torreblanca is a couple of minutes away, very handy for getting to the apartment from the airport and also of course for sight seeing. No car is required for getting around as there is also a very good bus service. There is also a large supermarket minutes away from the apartment which is very well stocked indeed, to include lots of well known English food. The beach is 5 mins away with very good beach bars and restaurants all within walking distance. Communication with Jon-Paul is exceptional, he responds within minutes. All in all we had a fabulous holiday and we’ve already booked again for next year

Excellent accommodation
Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at No. 15 and as usual felt very much at home. The accommodation's location is perfect for beach, train and local supermarket. The local service office and attentive owner is an added bonus providing peace of mind should anything crop up that is out with our control.

Absolutely 5*
The accommodation was above and beyond the description. Links from airport to the apartment was brilliant, literally a two minute walk from the train. The apartment itself was more than we could’ve wished for, clean, tidy, well stocked with the basics. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen. The patio… what can I say… huge area with loungers and dining table with ample space. Full sun, and thank goodness for the retractable canopy.. we are sun lovers but it was a god send! Amenities.. supermarket 3 min walk away if that, fully stocked with everything you could possibly want. Another 5 minute walk you are literally on the beach with all the restaurants… can recommend the grilled sardines on the beach front! And not to forget the host… attentive, speedy responses to our queries from the moment of booking and while we were there. Will absolutely book again, little treasure of an apartment and if I could take that apartment anywhere in the world .. I would! Thank you for having us.

Nick, I don’t know where to begin. We pride ourselves on our reviews and feedback, but this is simply above and beyond. To take the time to pen such a sincerely articulate, concise, wonderful and heartfelt account of your stay is beyond touching. I have to tell you, this one truly hit home for us. I’m entirely and eternally indebted for all and everything you did to be the most engaging, conscientious and ‘kind’ guests we could imagine. I’m indebted, beyond measure, and please know just how much your selflessness and generous nature have meant to us. Truly, beyond measure you have a house and home for life at Tumsa. Thank You! PS: My Dad is the HUGEST fan of the grilled sardines on the beach, it’s all he can talk about once home!

Great Break
Just returned for a week that we all thoroughly enjoyed. Apartment clean, well maintained and location is fantastic located only minutes away on foot from railway station.That can take you directly from airport to accommodation and into Fuengirola or into Malaga City. Lovely quiet area but not far from beach and nightlife if so required. Medium sized supermarket only minutes away on foot. Great comms from owner and loads of info. WiFi quality spot on. Thank you.

William, it's certainly 'us' that should be thanking 'you' for being such kind and conscientious guests. You're a credit to the rental industry and hosting/liaising with you over the years has been nothing short of an absolute delight. We sincerely look forward to your next stay, and wish you all the very best in the interim. For all other VRBO hosts, please know that this family will take care of your home beyond comprehension! We're entirely indebted. Kindest, Lindsey family.

. This well equipped apartment had everything we wished for with an excellent sun terrace. Excellent position for local train ( 5min walk) taking you from Malaga to Fuengirola. The nearest supermarket is only a five minute walk away. Local bars and beach very close as well. Lovely stay and would return.

Dear Nigel, it may sound cliche but Not a single positive review goes unappreciated by us. It's such a wonderful and gracious thing to do to put 'pen to paper' and relay such lovely compliments. I simple cannot thank you both for being such courteous, kind and conscientious guests. It's a huge, huge deal to us, as are you. You have a 'home' in Spain whenever you may need it. Thank you, so sincerely. Jon-Paul

Lovely Accommodation
This apartment is in a great location. Very easy to get around either via the train or taxi. We were lucky enough to have stayed here for 3 weeks and had such a lovely time. The balcony (if you love the sun) is to die for, sunny from morning until late evening. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen has all you need in order to cook meals should you wish to. We found some lovely restaurants, however if you are unsure of where to go then you only have to ring Sarah or Francis they are extremely helpful and sent us a list of restaurants they would recommend. Jon-Paul is one of the nicest people I have ever come across - nothing is too much trouble. I highly recommend this apartment.

This was our first holiday at the Lindsay home and don’t intend it to be our last. The house is well equipped, spacious and has a huge patio that gets the sun all day. Its location is ideal. The train station and a well-stocked supermarket is only a stone’s throw away. You then have the local management office one minute, the local buses two minutes and the beach three minutes away from the house. With all that on your doorstep the patio is very quiet and peaceful. Thanks to Jon-Paul and HomeAway for a great holiday.

I simply can't overstate how much this incredibly thorough and touching review means to us. We do, truly strive to make our apartment as accessible and 'homely' as possible, but it's only thanks to feedback and guest like yourselves that make that possible. You weren't beholden to write such a meticulous and concise piece, so I just want to let you know just how much it's appreciated. We absolutely adore our 'home away from home', and knowing that wonderful, caring and conscientious people like yourself can enjoy it too, simply means the world to us. Mi casa es su casa, William- I can't wait until you come back 'home' and enjoy it all over again!

Lovely location
Jon-Paul's apartment is in a quiet residential area with a lovely very large and private patio area. The apartment is big enough for four people and it was very quiet. No one overlooks the patio area as the other apartment buildings are not too near. The train station is literally a couple of minutes walk away and there is a good stocked supermarket (not expensive) five mins walk away. The beach was approximately ten minutes walk and the promenade is beautiful. What we liked about the area was it was not busy and crowded like neighbouring resorts. The beach is also lovely and not busy. Sunbeds were 10 euros and had a lovely thick mattress. If you do decide to book this apartment you will not be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of staying at Jon-Paul Lindsey’s apartment in April- May . The apartment was like home from home, had everything you would need. Excellent location next to train station and shops, bars, restaurants. Very clean and super large balcony to enjoy the sun. Jon-Paul couldn’t of helped any more. Always replied to messages promptly. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

Asunto sijaitsi torreblancan juna aseman vieressä josta oli hyvät kulkuyhteydet joka paikkaan. Asunto oli tilava ja siisti. Majoitustilan välittäjän kanssa kommunikointi sujui hyvin. Tulemme varmasti uudestaan ja suosittelen paikkaa😀

Para Repetir
Un estupendo lugar para descansar, disfrutar, relajarse y desconectar de todo. En una segunda línea de playa te permite la privacidad que desees y si te apetece una vida más activa, sólo con bajar la calle te encuentras con mucho y buen ambiente. El apartamento es muy cómodo, tanto que nos ha parecido estar en casa, con eso no se puede decir más. En cuanto al propietario es muy atento y se desvivio por solucionarnos un pequeño problema que tuvimos y no paró hasta que todo estuvo bien.

Um apartamento acolhedor e confortável perto da praia
Um apartamento acolhedor e confortável, com espaço suficiente para uma família de 5. Uma varanda com mesa onde pode desfrutar uma refeição ou bebida com vista para o mar. Bem perto da praia e da estação de comboio que permite uma deslocação fácil para outros meios urbanos e turísticos. O contacto com o proprietário mostrou ser uma pessoa muito honesta, assertiva e de muito bom trato.

Kommer ikke tilbake etter så dårlig behandling.
Gamle dårlige senger, måtte legge dyne dobbelt for ikke kjenne stålfjærene. Dårlig renhold. Vannlekkasje fra taket i kjøkkenet. Eieren klaget på at vi var 4 personer i leiligheten som har 2 soverom. Da vi bestilte i 2017 oppga jeg at vi var et ektepar, men vi må jo få bruke begge rom. Nå nekter han å betale tilbake depositumet! Er sjokkert over at dette er mulig.

Jeg beklager virkelig at du fant ditt opphold utilfredsstillende. Det er uheldig at været ikke samarbeidet i løpet av din tid med oss. Som du kan se fra antall positive vurderinger, tar familien min stor stolthet i det vi gjør. Vi er kjent for vårt vakre hjem, omhyggelig korrespondanse og også den forskjellige måten vi bryr oss om våre individuelle gjester. Jeg håper at din neste tur gir deg solfylt vær.
