perfect holidays
Review Submitted: July 27, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
We stayed here in June 2009 with our little boy of 3 ½ years, and what we found when we arrived at the complex was an apartment absolutely fully equipped with everything we needed. Rooms are large and bright and the furniture is in very good condition. Everything was clean and well maintained. The kitchen is a dream: we missed nothing (behalf of a coffee machine, but that may be a typical German problem). Enough dishes so you won’t have to do the dish washing after each meal.
The terrace also is quite large and we really loved it to sit there in the evenings with a warm breath on our skins and watching the sunset or reading a book.
The apartment itself is very close to the outdoor pools. The pools are in the middle of a garden complex and are well-tended.
All that can’t be taken for granted: These were our third holidays in privately owned houses in Spain within the last three years, and believe me, this was the best complex by far!
The complex is only a few meters from the next supermarket, a Mercadona, which is quite large and where you will find everything for your daily needs. And another supermarket, the Intermarche, is even open on Sundays (direction Vera, on the left hand side).
The only disadvantage we encountered was the children’s playground which was overall covered with cats’ dirt. That’s a real pity. But there’s another very good playground just outside the complex (next to the primary school/kindergarten).
Having a car when staying here is recommended as the beaches are definitely too far away for a walk, especially with smaller children. But they are great: spacious, sandy and clean, with showers and toilets.
Garrucha with its small port and Mojacar are absolutely worth a visit. Both are quite small but very lovely. And don’t miss to visit one of the local markets! Markets are held round Vera Playa nearly every day and offer a huge variety of fresh fruit and vegetables for a small price.
Last but not least a big compliment and thank you to George (the owner) and Christine (our contact in Vera Playa): George provided us with so many information and hints that really helped us. He even made us aware of the issue with the playground in advance. And Christine is such a kind and helpful person!
We felt really home here and will surely return, probably next year.
P.S.: As English is not my native language: If you encounter any mistake, please feel free to keep it.

Owner's Response: Thank you Dirk and Petra for you review
Yes, there is a issue with cats in the childrens playground, unfortunatly this is clearly a problem when cat owners fail to understand the problems their cats can cause when children are exposed to their cats natural uncontrolled actions
We have and will continue to have dialogue with the Community Management regarding this problem
Be assured, that if you wish to consider renting our house, that any questions you have will be answered honestly, and any potential problems that we are aware of will be brough to you attention before you reserve
We wish only to for you to enjoy your holiday as many familys have in the last 3 years
