Manilva holiday villa: Casares

Property is right on the beach so is ideal for families with young children
The nearby town is within 10 minutes walking distance partly across the beach. Although not the easiest walk for anyone with walking difficulties the town is also very easily accessed by car. There are lots of restaurants in the town and even more if you want to travel by car to La Duquesa or Estepona.
The property is about 20 + years old and has some rather tired features such as a lack of working window blinds which could be much-needed when it gets very hot down there ,so dont go if you are expecting a brand spanking new house, but it is in very good order, has a good kitchen with all mod cons and ample space inside the house whatever the weather.We thought that the rental rate was very fair for a house in such a brilliant location.
THere is a beautiful roof terrace with a great view of the whole of the beach and even Gibralter in the distance on a clear day.
There are various pools on the development within walking distance.
The situation is very quiet and peaceful and is idyllic in its way.
The owner was very informative and helpful, and it is obviously a much-loved family retreat.The only additions I would suggest would be some detailed information about the area ( which we could not find but think was supposed to be there), some board games etc for kids in case of bad weather , some reading material and rather more towels and pillows. However these are minor matters and do not inetrfere with the enjoyment of the house and area..
