Review Submitted: July 4, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My fiancées and I had a great time in Mojacar and this was made all the more enjoyable thanks to this wonderful house, which catered for all of our needs.
The balcony is perfect for enjoying the sun during the day or having a bbq of a night. The house was very well-maintained throughout and any queries we made were dealt with swifty by the polite management. I would recommend this house to anyone wishing to stay in Mojacar, its location is ideal for the beach and local resturants.

Stunning Views

KIZZI-1 West Yorkshire, England
Review Submitted: November 2, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
This property is in a lovely quiet location. Although only a short walk to shops and restaurants. Very well placed. The views from the balacony were stunning. It was really lovely watching the sun rise. The only off putting this is the hill you need to climb to get there. Although if you're fit, this won't be a problem. Had been to Mojacar a couple of years before so we knew it was a lovely relaxing, quiet area to visit. The ideal gettaway if you just want to chill.

Again, my wife and i had a thoroughly good holiday. We have just returned from our fourth year at this house and it is still great enough to return next year for a fifth time. The comments made by other guests are right; the photos on the website do not do the real views justice. They are fantastic. The balcony gets the sun from 07:30 to 17:30 and is ideal for private sunbathing. The night views are just as good as the day views. Its a 5 minute walk to the beach and one of the best steak restaurants we know. The house has a home from home feel with all the cutlery and crockery you could need. At night, you can fall asleep to the sound of the sea and cicadas. We had 2 days of rain, but even in October, it was warm rain. The sea was still warm enough for my wife to swim in and the sun still hot enough to burn the unwary. The variety of beaches is enough so that you can use a different one every day for 2 weeks, if like us, you like driving. If not, the pool is close enough to use if you want to use the balcony instead of the beach and always clean and hardly used. A great place, great views and great location. Cant wait until next year.

Lovely family holiday

Abi Elsa Brighton, East Sussex, England
Review Submitted: August 23, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
I spent a fantastic week here with my husband and our 2 boys aged 8 and 11. The boys had never been snorkelling before, they couldn't believe how many fish they could see in the clear, warm sea.
The house was as everybody else has described, clean and in a very good location.
The terrace was wonderful for evening dinners, watching the sun go down. The air con was gratefuly received in August and worked well!
The pool directly outside the house was fantasic and was even lit up at night (should you fancy an evening dip!) It was nice to chill out poolside before, and after, going to the beach for the day.
I would definately recommend this property to any family as it was a fantastic location and very good value. However, living in hilly Brighton, I have to say the hill was not nearly as bad as others have said!

24/5/2009 having spent the last two weeks at this house I can thoroughly reccomend booking, my 4th and most enjoyable visit to Mojacar, the accomodation is as it says on the tin and the views are just that, perfect.On the downside prices have risen in Mojacar in my view, a view that was not accepted by everyone, so we did as the Spanish do had our walk and took a drink on the patio, the best view in town. Lidl's in Vera approx 10min drive along the coast road, no hardship really best value shopping for food ect. Hope you enjoy your holiday as we have. Peter & Sharon

Balcones del Mar 5

Review Submitted: May 9, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We stayed here the first week of May 2009. The weather was great - it only rained on the 1st day followed by 6 days of hot sunshine without a cloud in the sky - temperatures rising from 23 to 27 during the week.

The property description is very accurate: the property is clean, comfortable, quiet and well maintained, and the owner is very helpful. We were very pleased and have no complaints.

The location is fantastic: the property is set up on a hill around 500 metres or so from the sea and there are great views over Mojacar Playa. It took us 4 minutes to walk down to the promenade, but 8 minutes to get back - probably more as a result of the wine than the slope! The road is very quiet, so its quite safe to stagger back!

The sun rises out at sea and shines on the terrace from sunrise (around 7 am at this time of year) until about 5 ish when it disappears behind the property (this happens with all sea facing properties in Mojacar) but in this case - if you're a real sun worshipper - you can relocate to the pool area which is behind the house and only a few metres from the door, and enjoy more sun til it disappears behind the mountains (around 8.30 ish when we were there).

At night you can fall asleep to the sound of the sea (yet surprisingly you don't hear any traffic noise). And there are mosquito nets to keep the pests out if - like us - you want to leave the windows open.

Mojacar is a quiet laid back resort with little nightlife. There are a couple of nightclubs and chillout bars, but most of these were closed when we were there. There is however a big choice of places to eat, both at lunchtime and in the evening. The daytime "menu del dia" generally costs around 10 euros and is generally very good value. Several chiringuitos (beach bars) serve excellent seafood - the swordfish at the Albatross, the paella at El Paso, and the salads and Thai dishes at Tito's are particularly to be recommended. The nearest places to eat are a tapas bar "Autopull" just at the bottom of the road, where you can pull your own beer (and the tapas are excellent as well!). Next to that is a pizzeria, and a few yards further on is La Cabana, an excellent Argentinian steakhouse. There are several chiringuitos, Italian restaurants and various bars within a further - but still easy - walking distance.

All-in-all an excellent holiday base, especially if you're after a different, quieter, more DIY, type of holiday. We will definitely return.

Easter Break 2009

Review Submitted: April 27, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
The Easter weather was good to us, beautiful warm sunshine in the morning, the wind picked up at about 3pm each day, perfect for the very private balcony, watching the sunrise at about 7am. The 5min walk down to the beach is easily managable. Our two kids aged 10 & 7yrs did actually enjoy the steep walk back up, couldn't do it every day though, a car is helpful. Lots of parks along the beach for the kids. The owners provided an excellent service, instructions & facilities. The descriptions & photos do not do the views justice, they are just fantastic. We had a great time & would love to use the apartment again sometime.

Views at this value cannot be bettered in Mojacar!

Sailorphil Barnstaple, Devon, UK
Review Submitted: April 8, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2008
You don't need to look any further for your holiday accomodation.....this is the best! We're Phil & Sue from Devon & we have just returned from our second winter in Mojacar as occupants of Paul & Ginas house & we are delighted to be returning in October for a third winter in a row! I don't know why I'm extolling the virtues of this house as I could be stuffing up our chances of another winter after 2010!! But you can try to book a week or two in the season!......the house exceeds expectations in terms of value for money in this superb location. The views are magic! We have observed dolphins and whales (pilot & sperm, confirmed images from Seawatch!!)....from the balcony which is sheltered from most of the prevailing winds, so can be HOT! The house is well equipped and comfortable. The garden and pool area is well kept by Stan. The Playa (beach) area has shops/cafes/restaurantes to suit every taste and budget & it is really not necessary to learn Spanish, but any effort to communicate in Spanish is welcomed with a smile by the locals, so try to make the effort. "Dos cafe con leche por fabor" will get you two milky coffees, probably two small donuts..... and a smile! & all for about €2.60! The house is about 5 minutes walk to the beach & Med going downhill, and about 7-10 minutes coming back uphill, but it's really only a problem if you're very unfit.....in which case drive the car down, the parking's free everywhere. The Pueblo (village) is well worth a visit with it's quaint little streets and a plaza for coffee with views which will blow your mind! Watch out for "celebs" too.....we've seen a Corrie actress....as quite a few have chosen this area for holiday homes, so it MUST be good! There you go....we've just broadcast this gem to the World, so much for our chances winter 2010/11!!!

Fabulous Views & Great Location

debwoj Nottingham, UK
Review Submitted: November 3, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
The views from each room are absolutely stunning. The balcony is very large and private. The bed in the master bedroom is very comfortable. The house is very clean and comfortable. The only thing we missed was an indoor dining table as in the evening it was too cold to eat outside. The mornings were beautiful and it was so lovely to have breakfast on the balcony overlooking the sea. Although the hill is steep, the property is in a good location with great places to eat within easy walking distance. The owners were always very helpful and we would recommend this property without hesitation.

Balcones del Mar

Review Submitted: November 3, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
As ever, my husband and I enjoyed our stay at this house again. Ideally situated with the most marvellous views of the Med from the private terrace. The house is well equipped and very comfortable and situated in a quiet position. A car is a useful asset, as it is quite a climb back up the hill from the beach. Lots of varied restaurants within easy reach, and a good local new supermarket with a very good selection of seafood and very reasonably priced wine. I've recommended it as suitable for people with disabilities as I stayed there one time with a foot in a 'Beckham' boot and didn't find the stairs a problem.

My only complaint - being woken up early in the morning by the chug-chug of the fishing boats going back to Garrucha!
Owner's Response: Thanks for your kind comments. We appreciate that the hill can be a slog for some people, but its not very long and the views are well worth it.
