About this property

Situated on a 1,000m2 plot in the most central and sought after area of delightful central Playa Blanca. Only 5 minutes walk from the village and beach, shops and restaurants with direct access to parque Atlantico. This beautiful, traditional villa is furnished to the highest standard and offers all the comforts of home. The villa is detached, has a large drive with parking and private garden all around. There is a private, heated pool with a spacious terrace and sunbeds. In addition, residents and guests of Los Calamares have the advantage of the free use of the community tennis court. Pool table in the garden
Large smart TV with TV streaming for UK and other main channels, NetFlix , DVD with a selection of movies! The
Marantz stereo system with bluetooth and internet radio has speakers both in the house and the terrace. Even more the free WiFI even works by the pool! Aircon and pool heating are included in the price.
You will also find many other littlel extras upon your arrival as this villa is exceptionally equipped.
The terrace is so delightful that you may well find that you do not want to leave and many guests find themselves settling into the 'manana, manana' way of life and hence, have to come again.

Playa Blanca: Nestled at the most Southern point of the Island, Playa Blanca (White Beach), once a small fishing village has grown sympathetically into a relaxing and tranquil resort. Family friendly, you can enjoy dinner whilst your children play on the beach in front knowing they are safe and in sight.
There is a vast choice of restaurants including some excellent fish ones and a good selection of shops selling everything from flip-flops to diamond jewellery.

Out and About: Although a car is not necessary for this villa, we generally recommend one. Benefits include avoiding taxi queues at the airport and not having to carry the shopping! A small car may be hired for as little as €25 per day and when you realise a taxi from the airport costs about €50 it all makes sense! There is also of course the added benefit of being able to use a car for day trips to some of Lanzarote’s most beautiful spots such as Fire Mountain, Jameos del Agua or El Golfo.
Please feel free to enquire even if it is just to ask a question.

Fantastic Home

We had a lovely family stay here, 3 generations absolutely loved the house and had a great time. It is very well laid out, with both double rooms in particular enjoying a bit of privacy. The two twin rooms are close together and share a bathroom which was perfect. It was clean and tidy to the level you expect of a well loved home. It definitely feels like it has a personality rather than just being a pristine white box! The kitchen is very modern and well-equipped with everything you need and more (ice maker on the fridge!). The covered terrace was the absolute selling point for us and meant we could still enjoy being outside when it rained. The bluetooth speakers were brilliant and the sound was quite contained. There is plenty of room for 8 people in every part of the property and we never felt cramped. The pool is fab and very warm, with sun beds and a gate to keep secure from smaller kids. It’s a really short and level walk to a large supermarket and not much further to the seafront which has numerous restaurants and bars to enjoy, all of them very accommodating to families. The village has lovely shops and if you fancy a further walk round the coast path you get to the absolutely gorgeous marina area which has a fab market on Wednesdays and Saturdays and plenty of restaurants. The booking process was so easy and Therese was very kind and helpful. We all said we would definitely stay again!

Fantastic Villa

Theresa was a brilliant host of this property. She gave us loads of great information. Great use of the tennis court. The back gate was a game changer for us as it meant we didnt have to walk all the way around the street. Overall a brilliant stay and a great host. Thank you Theresa.

Excellent villa for adults and kids alike!

8 of us (2 families) had a wonderful stay at Squid House over the half term holidays. The villa was perfect in size, wonderful indoor and outdoor space, and the pool and aminities were great! The added touches (drinks on arrival, coffee pods, pool toys, beach towels) were a really well appreciated, and made for a stress free arrival! Location was also incredible, and we had many outings to the local beaches and restaurants. The kids loved the nearby football pitch and courts, while car and bike hire was also in walking distance. I would definitely recomend - 5 stars from us!

Great host great location

Therese had the most complete welcome amenities we have ever seen. The location of the home is very close to the center of Playa Blanca. We enjoyed the heated pool. Although I suggest having a car this home is near the central bus station. For us this home worked very well.

About the host

Hosted by Therese Oliver

I fell in love with Lanzarote and in particular Playa Blanca back in 1980 and was an annual visitor until I bought the Squid House in 1998. At the time there were very few houses in Playa Blanca and I had a choice of about 7 !. Over the years the house has evolved and been practically rebuilt . Originally a small two bedroom cottage it is now a spacious 4 bedroom , 3 bathroom house with pool. As I write 1/11/2021 I am posting new photos of the newly refurbished en-suite to the garden double. Hopefully you will love it. I still adore Playa Blanca and travel there at every opportunity which means at least 5 times a year. I hope you will love Playa Blanca and the Squid House as much as I do. x

Why they chose this property

This is not just a holiday villa, it is my second home that I care about deeply. I visit frequently to ensure that everything is how it should be and guests can contact me directly anytime during their stay. I also have local representatives to handle any issues locally which will be done quickly and efficiently.
