Quiet garden house experience

This is a lovely garden house, away from the streets so no traffic noise at all. The garden surrounds 3 of the 4 sides of the house. Big umbrella trees bring shade and a relaxing environment. Easy streetside parking. The beds are comfy and there's an aircon/heater unit in each bedroom plus in the living room. Nice rain shower over a bath tub in one bedroom and a regular shower in the other. Pleasant living room, good internet and well equipped kitchen with conventional oven, microwave and dishwasher. There was nothing lacking to make our stay pleasant, except maybe for a view of the mountains or the sea. Instead you see the garden and, if you look over the wall, the communal pool, which was too cold to swim in during our stay in early March. At 5 minutes walking there's a small shopping center with a big supermarket (Mercadona) and a British supermarket. Here you can also find a stop for bus 220 Fuengirola-Marbella. At 5 minutes walking in another direction is a street with a handful of restaurants. Also good delivery. Calahonda is perfectly set in the middle of Costa del Dol. Malaga, Marbella, Ojén, Mijas and Estepona can all be reached in less than 30 minutes by car. Gibraltar and Algeciras are at 1 hour driving time. We would like to stay here again during a future visit to this area.

Desastre de vivienda.

La verdad nose por donde empezar.Una de las cosas que le pregunte a la propietaria antes de entrar fue que si había tomado medidas de limpieza y desinfección por el tema del covid-19,me dijo que no me preocupara,pues bien,viajamos con un niño de 1 año y una niña de 3,al entrar nos dimos cuenta de que la casa estaba como si hubiera estado tiempo sin estar habitada,empezando por un cuarto junto a la barbacoa con persianas y cubo de fregona sucios y tirados de mala manera,los sofas y cojines sucios,uno de los mandos de la tele con moco o algo parecido,la nevera sucia y con los cajones del congelador rotos,los colchones meados y sucios,el microondas sucio tambien,unas pastillas para la lavadora estaban allí desde la época de maricastaña,en fin ,muchas más cosas que podría mencionar. Para el que no se lo crea tengo las fotos y mandadas a Vrbo con correos de confirmación y lo peor que siguen teniendo la casa en alquiler. Nos tuvimos que buscar la vida ,claro esta que no nos quedamos allí y mas teniendo dos niños pequeños y más que ni habían desinfectar la casa y mas con los tiempos que corren con el covid-19. Salimos de allí a las 10 de la noche sin una solucion por parte de Vrbo ni la propietaria ,gracias a unos amigos pudimos encontrar algo para pasar la noche. No recomiendo para nada esta casa a no ser que la limpiaran a fondo,no se fíen de lo que les digan por favor,pase uno de los peores días de mi vida por la incertidumbre de no tener información por parte de Vrbo y la propietaria. A día de hoy sigo esperando una parte del reembolso por parte de Vrbo. La propietaria debería de invertir en el mobiliario, esta anticuado,cambiar los colchones,cambiar la nevera, en fin ,adecuarlo para intentar que los viajeros que pagan un dinero,aparte que no es barato,pasen unas vacaciones que llevan esperando durante todo el año. Claro está que esta denunciado a la OCU por lo menos para intentar que no le pase ninguna persona más. Se que no va a servir de nada pero por lo menos a ver di con este comentario la propietaria sepa lo que tiene y la pagina Vrbo ponga remedio a este tipo de casas. Si alguien quiere pruebas puedo mostrárselo si ningún problema.

Home from home in the sun.......

This property is one of best we have stayed in, so far, we stayed 4 weeks. Everything you need is here. Loads room, sun and shade all day whatever you prefer. Pool is really good, outside your back door and kept immaculate. BBQ. Sunbeds. Loads outside furniture. English TV. Kitchen, everything you could ever need and then some more.. Couple points, as name says, "sea of pines" and there is pines.. look in cupboard under outside stairs to roof terrace, you will find leaf blower, much better than brush. The decking is great, but need some care, be careful some boards lifting. The gardens are beautiful, loads of different plants/trees but it is starting, to need some cutting back, esp. entrance path to front door. Don't leave any food on kitchen work tops, the ants "will" come, leave in fridge or kitchen table. We used spray to get rid of, did not tell Jonathon, Casa Care, as we knew how to get rid. Once gone, keep spraying every morning, back of workbenches near wall. Villa is excellent, just need to sort couple of minor things. We will be returning, we had a great time. You will need a car as there is few hills , may be ok for younger couples who enjoy a challenge..... Thank you Cheryl for our stay at your lovely villa, I can understand why your parents lived there.

A perfect place for a relaxing break

We have just returned from our fourth stay at this wonderful property. It has such character and the most beautiful outdoor areas. It is perfect for travelling with children because of the ample, secure, outdoor space. The owner is a pleasure to deal with and will always ensure that any queries are quickly resolved. The interior of the property is comfortable, beautiful and extremely well resourced. I couldn’t recommend this home any more highly :)

Lovely villa, private & peaceful location, walking distance to shops, restaurants and beach.

We stayed here for just under 2 weeks from 15 July, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The villa sits within beautiful communal gardens with a lovely big pool (with showers) and tennis courts. The grounds are secure so ideal if you have young children. The villa has its own private garden with 3 separate terraces (with shade if required), lots of seating and sun loungers and a large gas BBQ. The villa inside was clean, spacious and very well equipped. The kitchen is new, with granite worktops and all modern integrated appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine & tumble dryer. Both bathrooms were clean and quite large with lovely powerful showers! The villa was perfect for myself, my husband and our 15 year old son. However if there is more than 4 people staying here the third bedroom is quite small and is located off the kitchen through a small lobby area and then via a small cloakroom. I agree with other reviews that have said this bedroom needs a little TLC. Parking is not an issue at the villa. There are two entrances into the grounds which means you can park on either road which are both quiet. We were pleased with all the little extras that Cheryl provides for visitors, for example dishwasher tablets, washing powder, soap, towels (including beach towels), travel plugs, mosquito repellent plug ins, iPhone chargers, gas for the BBQ, dvds, board games & puzzles. We purchased some tennis racquets & balls & we enjoyed using them on the tennis courts. We left these at the villa for other guests to enjoy! We hope to return next year.

Very enjoyable!

Such a perfect house for a family! It was great to let the kids run around, use the pool and sit in the garden and eat dinner. The house is fully equipped with everything you can think of. The 3rd bedroom is a bit away from the other two and needs a bit of loving but that’s no biggie. The high st is 5 min walk and the sea side is a 20 min walk. Perfect! Thank you for a wonderful stay Cheryl. We will be back that’s for sure. xx

A wonderful, peaceful and well kept property in an accessible area

My family has just returned from our third stay at this lovely villa. It is a perfect property for families and couples alike and has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The owner is a pleasure to deal with and all arrangements for collection of keys etc is seamless. The villa is secure and beautifully maintained with plentiful outdoor space both in sun and shade. There is a shared pool which is accessed via a gate from the garden (handy for safety when staying with young children). If my repeat bookings aren't evidence enough, I would not hesitate to recommend this property and I look forward to returning.

Amazing villa and location

We truly could not have wished for a more pleasant villa. The gardens are delightful, the location is residential and peaceful. There are plenty of bars, restaurants, shops within walking distance but you never hear a sound. There are so many wonderful places to chill out in and the swimming pool is only a few steps away from the villa. The pool was empty for most of the day. This villa is worth every penny spent and exceeded our expectations in every way! We feel very lucky to have stayed there. Cheryl answered every query promptly and Johnathan - the gardener who let us in - could not have been more helpful. This villa deserves 10 stars!

Comfortable,Quiet,Great Pool and Gardens ,Good Location and Facilities August 1-17 2017

This was a great holiday bungalow ,very spacious,with two good size bedrooms and a third room with a single bed . The villa was very comfortable and homely with fantastic kitchen and laundry facilities , more than you usually find but great when you do a lot of cooking. The TV and Internet were brilliant . The villa was surrounded by gardens and sun deck with plenty of comfortable garden furniture and sun beds. Also present was a large brilliant gas BBQ a must as my husband loves to cook on holiday. Through a garden gate you walk out onto communal gardens and large pool shared between 12 villas. On average there were us and one or two others around the pool at anytime . The villa is very secluded and in a private gated small complex, where the villas are not on top of each , great for any type of family. Location is good , 5 minute walk to the "strip" with a variety of restaurants . A 10 minute walk to supermarkets and shops. A bit further, 15 mins walk to local beach. We always hire a car but you could easily stay here without one. The owner was very helpful,friendly and a good communicator , and so was the guy who looks after the property . I would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful house, private grounds, well resourced and helpful owner

This is a really lovely home with everything that you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. It was spotlessly clean upon arrival and had comfortable sofas and beds. The wifi is faultless which is a pleasant addition. We had a couple of teething problems with the tv and water but the friendly owner ensured that these issues were quickly resolved. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Power

I live in South East England and spend my time mainly playing golf, going to pilates classes, dancing and playing bridge and tennis. I have 2 sons aged 38 and 36 and 1 grandson aged 4, and a retired but very busy husband.
My mother, who owned the Villa sadly died in 2015 and we all miss her very much. She loved living here and we hoped she would have had many more happy years in Spain. She was a very youthful 88 year old when she died quite suddenly. We were torn about whether or not to let the villa out as it was so dear to her but I think she would have seen the practicalities of it as although we still love to come out there, it won't be that often so it makes sense.

Why they chose this property

This villa was owned by my Mother who very sadly passed away in 2015. She lived here and we loved coming here as a family and still intend to do so.
It is a wonderful villa for anyone but especially good for families with young children as it is so private and safe being walled in within a walled community of villas. The swimming pool is large and there are communal grounds to play in.
The villa has 3 terraces so you can follow/avoid the sun during the day.
It is very homely and comfortable and different from the average white-washed Spanish villa.
