About this property
Spacious 2 Bed With Great Pool Near Beach & Golf
Lovely, Bright and spacious 2 bedroomed property in a well maintained complex with 2 great swimming pools. Just over 5 minutes walk from the large, sandy Blue Flag beaches of Playa de Las Marinas.
The property comprises 2 areas of outside space. A ground floor front patio of approximately 6m x 1.5m which gets the sun in the afternoon plus a wonderful 30 sq m roof top solarium with spectacular mountain views.
The property itself is fully equipped with everything you could possibly want whilst on holiday and also boasts full air conditioning.
The fitted open plan kitchen is complete with electric hob, fridge freezer, kettle, microwave, toaster and breakfast bar. In addition you will find a Patio table and Chairs set for those that like Al Fresco dining.
All linen, towels, cutlery and crockery are also provided.
Currently arranged as 2 x double beds and 1 x single bed but with a spare single mattress so could sleep 6 at a push seven if you count the really comfortable sofa.
Anyway, whats the area like. In the immediate location you are Walking distance to a multitude of bars, restaurants, shops and a Spa / Sports centre.
There are Four great golf courses nearby including the world famous Desert Springs Golf Course and in my humble opinion the very under rated Valle Del Este.
Just a 10 to 15 minute stroll brings you to the vibrant but quaint fishing village of Garrucha, famous for its Giant Red Prawns.
Only a short drive or bus ride away you will find the Aquavera water park, Go Karting and a swanky beach club in Puerto Rey. Going north you will find another smaller fishing village of Villaricos and continue a little further to the beautiful San Juan De Los Torreos.
To the South and much much nearer though is the livelier resort of Mojacar Playa only about 5 - 10 minutes by car or bus and it would be a crime to visit Mojacar and then NOT to visit Mojacar Pueblo.
This quaint iconic whitewashed mountain village is considered to be one of the top 10 villages of its kind in the whole of Spain. Not surprising when you consider It has a peaceful ambience with stunning views and some fantastic restaurants where you can easily lose yourself in all that is good about Spain.
The National Park of Cabo De Gato is less than an hours drive away as is the Capital city Almeria and the livelier resorts of Almerimar and Roquettas Del Mar.
The area itself in this part of Spain is rich in history and there is plenty to do and see as a tourist if that’s what you want but equally you can chill out and do nothing more than enjoy the Fine weather that this Andalucian region has in abundance.
A drive inland of approx 50 minutes towards Murcia takes you to a great Western themed amusement park for those that like those sort of things to do and you should not miss an opportunity to visit the iconic whitewashed mountain village of Mojacar Pueblo. In a word or two " Simply Stunning ", consistently voted into the top 10 of Spain's most beautiful Whitewashed Villages and strongly rumoured to be the birthplace of none other than the film maker Walt Disney.
So whether it’s relaxing in the sun with a glass of your favourite tipple whilst reading, listening to music maybe or Simply having a snooze ( sorry siesta ) this property allows that.
Equally however if you are an energetic type there is plenty to do and see and whilst a car is handy to have you definitely do not need one. For those that do prefer a car there's plenty of parking spaces on the 3 roads which surround the complex.
Enjoy Traditional vibrant Spanish markets of which there are plenty with one on everyday somewhere nearby and the author particularly likes Villaricos (Sunday), Turre or the gigantic Garrucha Friday market which occupies the entire town it seems.
Foodies will not be disappointed as the owner of this property carried out a thorough investigation and due diligence which in other words means they holidayed here several times trying out the local cuisine relentlessly as they did so.
So whether it’s Michelin Star posh eats or laid back chiringuitos there is plenty of that delicious Andalucian food on offer not to mention some amazing Italian, Argentinian and Asian eateries to Boot.
During the summer months a churreria sets up a mobile stall just outside the complex so you don’t have far to get to get your hands on those delicious ( if slightly unhealthy ) churros and if that wasn’t enough All year round a kiosk opens ( which is part of the mini supermarket ) run by a couple of old girls that knock up the most amazing take away food for next to nothing. If you can’t be bothered to cook but don’t want the expense of eating out then this is definitely for you.
Whilst writing I must recommend the full size Tortilla or the spicy chicken wings and on Sundays only they do the full size spit roast chicken.
So far we haven’t found anything not to like about this property, the people we’ve met or the area and are actually contemplating buying another one.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

This small hotel was clean and modern. Very welcoming couple on arrival and departure. Just a little negative was the access to hot water on the landing area to make tea/coffee was not working (missed my morning cuppa)Good hotel across the road to eat no other options really as the location is in an industrial area.

Lovely townhouse in lovely surroundings in great location.
Had a wonderful time here. Very spacious and well laid out. Nice patio area and great roof terrace. Right near the great sized pool and garden area. Short walk to brilliant beach and nice bars/restaurants. It is about 15 minute walk into the town of Garrucha which has plenty of shops & bars. Would highly recommend this property and will most likely stay there again ourselves.

Lovely family holiday!!!
We were welcomed warmly by our hostess Dawn who was thoroughly supportive and helpful throughout our visit. There were a couple of hiccups at the beginning but were dealt with promptly by the owner James that was very impressive! The area and facilities were brilliant and so close to beach and restaurants too! We had our daughter who is 20mths with us and didnt hire a car as we wanted to stay local for the 9days. Plenty to do with the pools, bars, beaches, playgrounds and promenades. Bliss and would highly recommend to any family with youngsters! Defo go the millionares bar we went everyday!!!

7 nights of pure paradise in this hidden gem!
My boyfriend and I had a brilliant time at this villa. Garrucha is amazing and a great little gem for young couples, families and friend holidays.
The Villa:
This place was spotless. Very clean and it has brilliant aircon in the living room and bedrooms (really helped as it does get incredibly hot in Garrucha). The villa comes with a rooftop balcony that is a suntrap all day! So if you do prefer to sunbathe in a more private setting, you will love it up there. The complex has a number of pools. The area is kept incredibly clean and is covered with beautiful Mediterranian flowers; very Spanish!
The Location:
Packed with restaurants so you will be spoiled for choice! The villa is only a short 5-minute walk to the main strip of restaurants in Garrucha. If you love Paella, I would strongly recommend walking to Garrucha Port! Everything was incredibly cheap, around 10-12 EUROS each per meal. Closer to the villa, there is an even cheaper restaurant called The Bistro. A three-course meal will cost you 14EUROS each and it was some of the best food on the strip! Beach wise: the entire strip is full of sand (no uncomfortable stones) and has plenty of restaurants close by for a quick break of drinking beverages!
If you fancy heading further out of town, Mojacar is only a short 15/20 minute walk along the beach strip. We would also strongly recommend visiting Mojacar Pueblo. Insane views on the mountaintop and the small town is filled with gift stores and more restaurants.
If you want everything on your doorstep, I would strongly staying in this villa. We will definitely return!

You should have been given two sets of keys because I had 3 sets cut.
One for my management company , one for the guests and one spare.
If you had asked we could have provided a second set of keys.

Estancia un poco atropellada
Una estancia un poco atropellada ya que tuvimos unos cuantos problemas desde el día de la entrada aunque tanto el dueño como la persona de contacto respondían y daban soluciones rápido.
En cuanto al apartamento está bastante escaso de menaje de cocina, solo nos dejaron unas sábanas para 13 días y ni si quiera estaban completos los juegos, no había para todas las camas y eso que éramos 3 adultos.
Los sofás muy sucios, viejos e incómodos dándoles un uso de sofá, así que no me imagino el tener que usarlo de cama.
El suelo de la terraza está peligroso para tropezarse ya que está hundido.
En cuanto a la ubicación en la urbanización muy buena, al ser de esquina corría airecito y se estaba muy bien en la terraza ya que a nosotros nos encanta hacer la vida en ella siempre y cuando sea posible; ademas la ubicación respecto a la playa también es buena un paseíllo de unos
10 minutos.
Los aires acondicionados perfectos aunque no ha hecho mucha falta usarlos.
Whatever you want from your vacation this place should appease everybody. Swimming Pool, Beach, Sports Bars, Coffee Shops, Ice Cream Parlours and FANTASTIC restaurants plus a surprise ( to us anyway ) a cosy roof terrace to top up your tan

So glad you enjoyed your stay, we look forward to seeing you again sometime soon.
La location était conforme à l'annonce, agréable, très calme.
Par contre perdu 1h00 à l'arrivée pour récupérer les clefs. Le monsieur n'a pas pu être présent, nous avons dû aller chercher les clefs chez lui, dans un autre village, mais les indications données étaient très mauvaises donc grosse perte de temps, de l'énervement( après 15 heures de trajet et un lever à 3h30!!!). Puis à l'arrivée dans le logement, une marre d'eau devant le frigo qui dégivrant tout en étant branché. Donc obligé de passer la serpillière plusieurs fois dans la soirée.
Un sac de vêtement mouillé car posé dans cette eau. Au moment de mettre le linge à sécher, nous nous sommes aperçu que l'étendage était cassé !!!
J'ai donc contacté la dame par messagerie, qui m'a dit qu'ils m'en apporteraient un le lendemain. Ils ne l'ont jamais apporté. Et pour le frigo elle m'a dit qu'ils n'avaient pas pû faire autrement par rapport aux précédents locataires. Je trouve tout cela bien léger !!!
Au cours du séjour, les serrures des entrées de la résidence ont été changé sans que nous soyons au courant.
Nous pouvions sortir mais pas entrer.
La nouvelle clef ne nous avait pas été donné par la personne s'occupant de la location sur place !! Il a fallu la contacter pour nous l'apporter. Le monsieur l'a apporté le soir. Il a sonné, ne s'est pas présenté, m'a tendu la clef et est reparti en me disant au revoir !!
C'est quand même rustre, je n'ai pas l'habitude de ce genre de comportement,de personnes qui se préoccupent si peu de leur locataire.
En ce qui concerne la caution, je me demande comment ça se passe puisqu'il n'y a pas d'état des lieux à l'entrée ni à la sortie.
Très peu de document d'explications, il a fallu farfouiller dans les tiroirs pour trouver le code wi fi sur un bout de papier volant...
C'est dommage.

Je suis heureux que le reste de vos vacances soit bon

Hi Deborah Thank you for your feedback, the house should be fully
equipped and if not I can only assume stuff has got damaged or gone missing somehow. Please let me know what you felt you had to purchase. Had you let myself or Mitch know sooner we would have supplied the missing utensils for you.
This is very easy to put right and often in the " heat " of Summer pardon the pun where we have back to back bookings maybe Mitch is struggling to keep on top of the inventory.
I am glad this didn't impact your holiday too badly and look forward to welcoming you back soon.
La urbanización es preciosa y bien situada, muy tranquila. La casa está bien, pero como familia numerosa hemos echado en falta un poco más de menaje de cocina.

Highly recommend staying in this property
Had a fantastic holiday, the house was very clean and comfortable and had all we needed for our stay. There are lots of lovely restaurants nearby that not only served amazing food it were very reasonable. The beach is lovely and only a 10 minute walk away.
The communal areas around the house were really clean and the pools were lovely. Our only suggestion Would be a little guide in the house to the restaurants , bars and attractions in the area and emergency numbers (although the owner did answer all these questions via email when we emailed to ask) We would highly recommend a stay here and will definitely be returning.

Dear Jackie
Thank you for your review and for your honesty therein. I am delighted you had a wonderful holiday and was also glad I was able to help with the couple of teething problems you encountered.
I agree 100 % with your suggestion that there should be some literature to hand for useful / emergency phone numbers. Taxi / Police / Pharmacy etc.
In addition I have been meaning to produce a Gastro Guide to Garrucha and surrounding areas and this is currently a work in progress ( honestly it is ) but I will get that finished too.
When you visit again which we hope you do soon you will know where to eat, drink and purchase a plaster.

an unforgettable stay
We went with our son and girlfriend for 4 days and had a wonderful time at this villa. The place was very clean and spacious with everything you would need in a home. It has a good sized communal swimming pool and is also close to the beach. The resort is very well kept with lovely flowers and is very peaceful though at the same time is near to shops and restaurants. Parking was no problem there are plenty of spaces just outside the villa.
One of the days we drove to Murcia which is only about an hour and half and also to Western Leone which is a western-style theme park in Almeria so we did make the most of our stay there.
I would definitely recommend this place to others and would definitely choose to stay here again.

good value for the price charged
Convenient for Garrucha fish restaurants, complex reasonably quiet, Pool attendant wouldn't let you have a chair by the pool, so it was the grass or nothing.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Mar 2020
Hi Sean
I think your time line is wrong as it was July 2017 that you stayed,
During the summer months the swimming pools are attended by a life guard and its pot luck I suppose who is on duty.
I have a low level deck chair which I use everytime I visit and no one has ever said anything although I mainly visit off peak so maybe they are a little stricter during the summer.
I was there myself for 9 days in June and had no problems plus I witnessed several other guests / residents reading in a deck chair by the pool so I will need to investigate this a little for you.

About the host
Hosted by James
I am addicted to Spain and have holidayed here more than anywhere else in the world. I simply cant get enough of it. As a child my parents would take me to Spain every year sometimes by plane but sometimes driving and camping.
Although I live in the UK I have family in Gibraltar, Valencia and Seville and am currently learning Spanish.
Why they chose this property
As mentioned in our detailed description above this place has everything and whether you want lively or relaxed it caters for both with ease whilst simultaneously serving up the most amazing food and scenery, whats not to like ?
What makes this property unique
There are 2 pools one of which is about 80 ft long so you can have a proper swim if you wish to as opposed to just splashing around.
The complex is peaceful and quiet so when you decide to call it a night you can be assured of a good nights sleep however you are only a 5 minute stroll from drinking establishments if you decide you want a late night.
Sun worshippers have the best of both worlds if you like the heat but not direct sunlight then the patio is perfect up until about 3pm when it does get the sun BUT if you want the Sun all day ( as some do ) you have a large roof top solarium to enjoy.
Also we particularly liked the open plan nature of the design which allows a guest on the patio to converse with guests in the living area and simultaneously involve a further guest who might be in the kitchen, the design kind of "flows" which makes it a very sociable house.
