The Best

We have been using Holiday Rentals for several years and this property is undoubtedly the best that we have used.
This was our first time at a property where the owners were in residence and we were somewhat dubious about how this would work out. It worked out perfect. Helen and Joe were wonderful. Two of the nicest people you could wish to meet. They were totally committed to giving us a great holiday, available to help in any way and (crucially) gave us plenty of privacy.
The property is clean, tidy, comfortable and has absolutely everything you need for a great time (correction: more than everything you need for a great time). It was home from home and we were able to settle in as soon as we arrived. Our daughter was particularly ecstatic about the pool (all to herself), the availability of all the Sky free channels on the t.v. and the excellent wifi connection that allowed her access to her friends back home.
Take a look at the photographs of the property. What you see is not what you get. You get so much more especially in respect of the views around the property and the pleasure that you will experience. This property cannot be faulted and gives so much value for your money.
Mijas the town is sensational. Not too quiet and not too busy. Street after street we were amazed at the many shops, restaurants and facilities available. So much to do on your doorstep! We simply could have spent the full holiday in Mijas and never been bored.
We did venture out in the car to other places, getting as far as Antequera to the north and Gibraltar to the south (tip: if going to Gibraltar by car use the car parks on the Spanish side and walk across the border. Cheap buses are available to get you around Gibraltar).
Mijas is in a wonderful central position with easy car access to all the must do places on the Costa del Sol. Even without a car you can get a bus just 50m from the property, and about every 30 minutes, to take you to Fuengirola and onwards to all the main destinations. There are even buses that operate through the night (checkout the 'Portillo' website for bus destinations and fares). Try the coastal train service: fast, modern and not expensive).
If you want to eat English food then you will be spoiled for choice. An Iceland store is available and you can enjoy a self-catering meal for three for less than five euros!!
If you want a perfect holiday of any type then you must book this property. Absolutely Fantastic!!!
