Holiday rentals with a pool in Playa de la Carihuela

We all had a lovely stay at the apartment and miss being there. The property was ideally located with breathtaking views and peaceful. Marco was very friendly and helpful. It was an excellent stay and we would love to go back again.

It was literally living in a place close to heaven. It’s not only furnished with so much love, but also the attention to detail made it much more special. We were in awe upon our arrival, and found it hard to leave. We would like to recommend it to everyone, but it is so special, that we just might keep this as our best kept secret! From the moment we booked, our hosts went above and beyond to ensure our stay was flawless. They offered excellent recommendations, answered our questions with warmth and patience, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Everything is within walking distance. The way the villa is situated allows you to wake up to the gentle embrace of sunlight streaming through the windows, and ending the day with golden sunsets was pure magic. It is absolutely breathtaking. The thoughtfulness throughout made it easy to settle in and feel completely at ease, as if we were staying with dear friends. A stay so extraordinary, you’ll cherish every moment and never want to leave.

We had a wonderful, short stay at David's beautiful house. Quiet and private we had fantastic views from every room. The gardens and pool were perfect for us. The house was spacious and clean with quality beds and linen and lovely bathrooms. David was so friendly and accommodating, such a generous host. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend and hope to re visit.

We booked Penelope’s beautiful villa a year ago, in celebration of Grandad’s big birthday. It was to be the first time we had all had a holiday together, with ages ranging from 70 to 2 years old, and young ones flying in from London and Sweden. The villa and pool were perfect in every way - generously and thoughtfully equipped, from the kitchen utensils to the toys, and the fantastic range of pool and beach games, etc. The furnishings are of a high standard and the villa spotlessly clean, with endless hot water, comfortable beds and other modern conveniences. We were two minutes’ walk from the beach and the main front, with a choice of restaurants and bars if desired. Penelope was close by and on hand to deal with any questions - she was so kind and welcoming throughout our stay. In short, we cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough and cannot thank Penelope enough for her hospitality.

This villa is absolutely fantastic, Geert was very attentive in the build up to our stay and once we were there Sonia could not do enough for us from local recommendations for bars and restaurants to answering any questions we had! We will definitely be looking to stay again and have already recommended the place to all of our friends and family!

A superb villa, very spacious and clean. Just a note that it is at the top of a small mountain but wow when you get to the top the views are truly spectacular. A great spot for exploring the area and Ubers are easy to get for trips into Malaga, would highly recommend.

Great accommodation in a great location

What a wonderful time we had at Casueña. Alicia and Jorge were so welcoming, helpful, friendly, and fun. They met us at the villa and showed us everything we needed to know, and then were always on hand for anything else we needed. The villa was so well equiped, including basic food, tea, coffee, and fruit to get us going. Also, on the first morning, Alicia and Jorge gave us a basket of eggs from their own chickens! We loved the beautiful furniture, artwork and ornaments which all added to Casueña's charm. Since the weather was hot we spent most of our time in the stunning garden and lovely pool. Beautiful mature plants, shrubs and trees made the garden feel magical, as did the many birds who visited including a familly of swallows. A short trip (about 2 miles) down to the village of Santa Rosalía provided a good supermarket (open every day), cafes, and restaurants. Thank you Alicia and Jorge - you are very special people and we will definitely be back to visit you and Casueña.

A very nice apartment prefect for couples with lots to do in Calahonda and short taxi rides to the surrounding areas, great private roof with great facilities.

We felt at home at Elena's! Excellent accommodation in a quiet place, it suited us perfectly. Thank you. We'd love to come back!

We had an absolutely perfect stay at Joaquin's. From the moment we arrived, he was extremely welcoming, attentive and professional. The apartment is superb, tastefully decorated and in excellent condition. Nothing is missing: the kitchen is perfectly equipped, the utensils are quality, the bedding is very comfortable, the storage well thought out... everything is there to feel at home. But the real gem is the penthouse itself, an incredible, bright, quiet place with a magnificent view. Joaquin was one of the best hosts we've met on Airbnb: always available, responsive and very kind. A huge thank you also for carrying our suitcases on arrival, a simple gesture but so appreciated! It's a flawless one. We'll be back without a second thought. Again, thank you for this great experience!

Yet another great holiday, based at Yasmine’s Apartment, which is lovely. To have breakfast/brunch and sometimes dinner out on the terraced patio, is sublime; most enjoyable and very relaxing. Looking forward to our return, already. Slàinte Mhath Bernie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Amazing place and amazing host. He responded to any messages we had very fast every time and even gave us some local recommendations. Great area surrounding the place with the beach a short walk away. The only downside is the pool was only open fri/sat/sun and the small pool wasn’t open but the beach was close enough for it to not bother us

The apartment was in a great location, with amazing views. Walkable to a lot of great restaurants and there is a little supermarket next door which is perfect for supplies. Host was extremely responsive and very helpful.

The apartment - a very spacious and well presented space. Beautifully decorated and well equipped. The bedrooms were spacious, comfortable and had perfect black out shutters allowing a great nights sleep. The kitchen and dining area was immaculately presented, everything you could need for a stay. The building - unbelievable sliding doors/windows surround the apartment offering the most amazing views of the beach and sea. The breeze this offers is great and you can also take in the atmosphere from the beach. The second floor views make you feel like you are in a penthouse due to the cliff edge you are on. The private lift down to the beach is a really nice option and add to the charm of the hotel. Also the poolside bar/restaurant and 24 hour reception is a nice addition, with all staff being very welcoming and friendly. The host - Katrien could not have been more helpful and available. We had no issues with our stay whatsoever and would stay again certainly. 10/10

Our stay with Juan was absolutely brilliant - he was very helpful and always friendly and the flat was beautiful and had everything we needed. Thank you very much for hosting us.

A lovely place to stay out of the way, the people that we dealt with were very, very nice at the location. Thanks guys

Awesome villa, that feels really special. We were a group of two families and it was great for us. There are different areas that can be used for different things; a lovely barbecue space and the pool is right beside the kitchen/outdoor eating space. Lots of stairs so something to watch if you have very young children or accessibility issues. Would thoroughly recommend. Eva and family were lovely, very helpful, and responsive. A car is definitely needed, even just to pop up to Mijas, which is worth it.

The house was very nice, very spacious! Pool was not heated but luckily we had a lot of sunny days during our visit. Outdoor kitchen was quite dirty so we didn't use the grill or the kitchen at all. We had some problems to get the taxi to the house, but when you walk about 500m to the "main street" you can have the taxi easier, also bus stop was near so it was easy to take the bus to the Malaga centrum.

Second stay in Casa Querida, and we loved it again. A five minute walk to the beach and a supermarket, but we were happy relaxing in the villa and by the pool. Super place!

The place was exactly as described on the page. The pictures matched what we expected in every way. The location is indeed a little bit far away to walk daily, but doable. Taxis are available, if you don't want to rent your own vehicle or bring your own. The keyholders English is lacking, but we were able to communicate sufficiently. The villa is located in a peaceful place, with loads of other places being rented next door. This didn't bother us in any way at all, but might be good to know. There's a supermarket fairly close by, but wouldn't recommend walking the distance with groceries. We had our own car, and used it almost every day. There's private parking, but the hill was a little bit too steep for our car which is long and low. It still fit within the villa premises. The villa met our expectations, was roomy and easily had space for 7 people. The swimming pool was large enough that we enjoyed it during every day of our holiday

We had a great holidays with our family there. Felt like at home ! From town centre only 15 min far , amazing location and a view! Highly would recommend to family’s with kids ! 👍😍

Beautiful outdoor space which was bigger than the pictures suggested, with another area for dining and bbq’ing at the back. Large pool. Good location with quick drives to the beach, old own and central Marbella. Clean spaces and good sized bedrooms.

The Villa and location are really great with onsite parking and the private swimming pool a real plus. The Villa is large , very well equipped inside but the finishing touches are missing particularly if you are a family. There are no seat covers on the outside dining area ..which you use all the time. There are no beach towels to use on sun loungers or beach and no hairdryer which means you will have to pack or buy these items. The BBQ is not suitable to cook on, it is a one man portable camping bbq and totally useless. There was only 2 of us staying so this was not really a problem for us and we would happily re-book.
