Pros: As a retired couple, we were looking for a quiet property on the Costa del Sol within walking distance of the sea and restaurants, and convenient for visits to places along the coast. We were so lucky - this bungalow absolutely hit the spot on all counts!
It’s situated in a quiet little residential road, about 10-15 mins walk down to the boardwalk by the beach, and to Cabopino Port. There is ample free parking close to the port for anyone wishing to drive, but we chose to stroll down, leaving our car at the bungalow (which has a secure gated driveway).
The property is tastefully decorated and generously equipped to a high standard with everything we needed and more. Much of the equipment seemed brand new.
For us, the highlight was the fabulous south-facing terraced garden, with views of the sea over the trees, sun all day long, and an electric awning canopy to provide shade when needed.
The half-hourly bus service between Marbella and Fuengirola stops just a couple of hundred metres away. We enjoyed walking the length of the boardwalk along the sea-shore from Cabopino to La Cala, (chiringuitos for refreshments are dotted all along the way), then hopping on the bus back.
We only tended to use our car to go food shopping, or to explore a little further afield.
Yolanda managed everything superbly, from communication ahead of our visit, rapid response to any queries while we were there, and an efficient checkout when we reluctantly had to leave .... but we hope we’ll be back!
