| "That property is a large apartment with everything we needed we felt like home. The view on the Mediterranean Sea from the terrace is gorgeous we appreciated very much the terrace to relax, have a drink or have dinner.
For people with a car, the garage is very convenient. And the pool is inviting. Doing business with the owner, Ray, was easy and he always replied to our e-mails very promptly.
We thank you, Ray, for lettings us live in your apartment. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. Hoping to have the opportunity to come back, we will not hesitate to recommand it to family and friends.
Kindest Regards,
Benoit & Marielle"

It was nice to be able to order a taxi to take us to the nearby restaurants. We found Calahonda a very nice restfull and peacefull place. It was nice being able to walk down the road to the local restaurant and then enjoy the rest of the evening in The Mellenium bar. Thank you Ray and Maureen for a fantastic week."

| "We been coming to Calahonda for a few years and have just had two weeks at your apartment in which we really enjoyed.The apartment was home from home with everything you could possibly need,access was brilliant with a lift right to the door(very handy with two oaps in tow).The complex was very sercure and well kept,the only disappointment was although you state there are two pools only one was available for our holiday which at times was very crowded around the main one due to the size of the complex & the amount of people,(a bit bizarre to undertake maintenence during peak holiday times?).The location was brilliant for us although you definately need a car,but overall very relaxing holiday.Andys Beach Cabapino definately worth a visit,(shallow water,fab waves,good food ideal for kids).thanks again"

It was very well set out, had ensuite in 2 of the bedrooms, an outstanding kitchen with high spec Siemens appliances(and I should know, Im a kitchen designer myself), the apartment wa well maintained throughout and the owner was extremely polite and helpful at all times. The pictures really do not do it justice at all. It really does start your holiday off with a very positive note when you see how nice the apartment is. Thank you to Ray and Maureen and all involved."

The only word of warning is yhat you really do need a car to get out and about. We enjoy a walk but it took us 45 minutes walking uphill back to the appartment from the bars in the centre of Callahonda, although there is a limited choice of restaurants and bars about 10 minutes away(again an uphill walk on your return). Apart from this it is an excellent place to choose for a holiday."

"1. The appartment spacious, nice and well situated.
2. Availability by car excellent, by foot not so good.
3. The internet connection way too slow to work with.
4. Poor selec tion of tv channels.
5. Lacked a dro p coffee maker which we then bought."
Owner reply:
:
The internet connection is as good as you will get in Spain, you can connect directly to the modem (hard wire) for faster speeds, but you never asked for this.
There are over 150 English channels (basic sky package) which is all channels except sky movies and sky sports.
There is a coffee maker in the apartment.

"The apartment was fantastic - it was perfect for us (although the balcony was a bit dangerousr for our 2 year old). The only problem really was that it was quite a way up the hill from any restaurants etc."
Owner reply:
:
Hi Im pleased to inform that the terrace has been fitted with floor to ceiling glass curtains, which makes the terrace completley safe for children. It also acts as a conservatory and extra room in the cooler months.

A car is recomended as the property is at the top of Calahonda Hills, although this gives you an excellent veiw of the sea and the cruise ships sailing out of Malaga. Hope to return soon."

THE LOCATION IS PERFECT FOR GETTING OUT AND ABOUT IN THE AREA BUT A CAR IS A MUST, UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND YOUR HOLIDAY RELAXING AT THE APARTMENT POOL AREAS.CHECK IN AND VACATING THE PROPERTY WAS VERY WELL ORGANISED WITH THE HELP OF A VERY FREINDLY AND KNOWLEDGEABLE LOCAL AGENT. BEAUTIFUL TERRACE/BALCONY OVERLOOKING STUNNING VEIWS. WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME AT THE APARTMENT. WE HAVE STAYED IN MANY OTHER LOCAL VILLAS AND APARTMENTS IN THE LAST 22 YEARS. THIS PLACE RATES AS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BEST. ALREADY BOOKED AGAIN FOR NEXT YEAR. ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS WE DID. VERY SATISFIED ROBERT AND GRAHAM. P.S. EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION FROM APARTMENT OWNER."

The only things my wife needed, was a mirror for full figure.
The complex and surrounddings were great with a nice pool. Also the sittingplaces in the garden/park was nice, quit and clean with plenty of room.
We can recommend it to frinds and family.
Best regards

| "We have rented many villas and apartments in Spain and Portugal and would say that this is the best. The renter is open to flexibility of start days which is a real plus if you are trying to keep fligtht prices down. Maureen, who gave us the key on arrival was wonderfully helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. A welcoming bottle of wine set the tone for the friendly atmosphere. The apartment was absolutely spotless, beautifully furnished and was equipped with everything needed for a home from home. The utility room with washer and dryer was a great asset with sandy beach clothes. Ray also provided loungers for the beach which saved an absolute fortune on hiring them. The air conditioning was a luxury well worthing having and was really quiet, unlike some places we have been. The pool area was also high quality with changing area and separate showers, loads of sunbeds and never busy. The beach nearby 'Andy's beach' was great for the kids and had a really friendly atmosphere. However, I have to say that the crowning glory of this apartment is the balcony. It is extremely spacious with a table and six chairs for eating alfresco with a fab barbecue. It also has a lovely comfy setee and chairs. With three children aged between 11 and 14 I was able to enjoy the tranquility of the balcony, looking out over the sea, whilst keeping an eye on them at the same time through the patio windows (it was heaven). The comprehensive sky package was also brilliant for the kids in the heat of the midday sun. I'm frightened that I've said so many nice things about this place that it will get booked up. However, the effort that Ray has obviously put into creating this rental deserves to be rewarded. We;ll definitely be back. Thanks for a wonderful holiday."

Our children loved having sky tv to watch their favourite shows while having a little break from the sun in the middle of the day.
Swimming pool very clean although very deep so young kids need armbands etc. Apartment was further up the hill from main N340 (A7) road than we imagined but only takes 5mins by car and being further up the hill means the views of the sea were excellent.
Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to return soon."

| "We are very satisfied with our holiday in Calahonda. First of all the apartment was clean when we arrived, it was cool (even without air condition on), nice furnished and well equipped with a nice view to the sea. As a family with teenagers we really appreciated to have 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms, and a washing machine and dryer.
All our expectations during the stay were fulfilled. We did like the location of the apartment, as well as the peaceful neighbourhood. We also enjoyed to relax by the swimming pool, since this showed up to be a quiet and pleasant area. It was some distance to shops and restaurants, but this was no problem since we had a car.
The only improvement issue we found during our stay is that the beds could have been a little bit softer, and a missing coffee machine. Everything else was nearly perfect.
We would recommend the area and the apartment to others, and we hope to come back later (perhaps already next year). At last, we think we got “value for money”.

When we have been away prior, we have always had to buy things like lighter fluid for the bar b que or cleaning stuff....... they were already there waiting for us.
Ray... your a great guy, enjoyed my holiday at your beautiful abode, told all my friends so expect to be busy next year !!"

Best asset for me was enjoying breckie on the huge balcony whilst watching the sun come up. Sunbathing was possible on the terrace til at least midday. However, the sea views were still fantastic right up until sunset at the end of the day whilst relaxing with a glass of vino or two... bliss! Did not want to leave & will certainly be back again next year."

Our apartment was furnished to a high standard and very clean on our arrival.
The motorway is 5 minutes from the apartment so it is a very good location for touring the Costa del Sol. Very good proximity to a range of very good golf courses, beaches and restaurants, just a short drive away.
There are magnificent views of the bay of Malaga which can be enjoyed from the large balcony which is also well furnished."

| "The Apartment is fabulous, everything you could want is in there.
There is a stunning view from the balcony where you can really see the sea.
Yes there is some building work being done in the area, but that is happening in every Spanish
coastal area at the moment.
The pool was big and very clean and our children loved it.
The local restaurants represent good value- especially Papillion (an Italian).
The only draw backs were the walks down the car ramp to get out of the complex on foot, and
that the bars and supermarket at the start of Calahonda were a long walk away when you have children.
A car is a necessity but that is a only a small moan.
All in all we had a superb time in a great apartment and we all loved Calahonda and will be back. Thanks again Stewart, Deborah,Jade,Scott and Lee Sharp."
