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.

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.

Nice house that looked as pictured. Quick communication with Lyx Holmes when a number of things needed to be fixed during the stay.

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.

Stayed in Luuk's beautiful apartment for 11 days. Especially the large roof terrace with unobstructed views was fantastic! The house has all the comforts and the 2 swimming pools complete it. Due to the higher location, it is indeed a must to rent a car. Luuk was also quick to respond to messages to questions. Highly recommended!

Sara’s place, was amazing, everything was totally prestine. On arrival Ana met us and she was just lovely. Ana showed us around the apartment and made it clear to us how everything worked. Ana also informed us if we had any problems don’t hesitate to contact her. Sara response to all our questions was quick and efficient. What a beautiful peaceful apartment, we enjoyed the apartment so much. Can’t wait to return. Thanks for an amazing stay. 😊

"We had a great stay! The place was very clean, cozy and decorated with a lot of love for detail. Particularly noteworthy is, for example, the quiet location / the comfortable bed / the great view / the hospitality. The check-in was straightforward, and you immediately felt welcome. We would come back anytime and would recommend this place. Thank you for the time!”

Fantastic hosts. Elena & Fran were very responsive with everything that was needed.

The accommodation was central and everything was within walking distance. Sergio met us on arrival and was very responsive and helpful afterwards with recommendation etc. The apartment was spotless and spacious (we were 7 adults and had no issue). Would definitely recommend.

What a fantastic apartment! We had a superb holiday and Ronnay was the most pro-active host with lots of really helpful text messages ahead of our arrival that made gettine to the front door realyy easy. The appartment is lovely and really quite peacful due to it's location. Sunrise is a joy in this apartment and the view and the balcony area are brilliant. We will 100% be coming back to Ronnay's apartment on our next holiday to Torremolinos. We had a lucky chance to be able to meet Ronnay and his parner while we were there and what fabulous hosts they are in person too. TOP MARKS go to this apartment !

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!

I really enjoyed my stay and the distant view of the ocean.

A cozy and well-furnished apartment with a balcony at the entrance to the quiet back. Good pool area with generous sun terrace and only a five-minute walk down to the beach, shopping and very good restaurants. The nearest grocery store was only 50 meters away. Our contact with Javier and Frank, who were always accommodating and pleasant, was particularly nice. In addition, the fridge and freezer were filled with coffee capsules, milk, a few cans of drink, water and ice cream. A valued and positive surprise! We are very pleased with our stay and will be happy to return!

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!

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 ! 👍😍

Great stay , fabulous villa

Amazing property, house is very well equipped and clean. We had a great stay.

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.
