Vacation rentals with a kayak in Alboran Sea

Great place to stay - comfortable for two families. Very close to Manilva beach and 20mins to Estepona by car. Quiet place with great restaurants and super markets near by. The stay had everything - workstation, separate dining and breakfast counter, outdoor pool and relaxing area and a great inhouse parking. The location of the stay is beautiful. Nicky took care of us very well, recommended us some restaurants and super markets, helped us with early checkin and late checkout fortunately.

Great stay at Jess's place. He is extremely helpful and responsive. The accommodation is as described, lots of space and everything you'd need. Lovely quiet area. Beautiful surroundings. We were on a golf trip so for 4 people, each had their own room, and location is amazing. Great supermarkets and wine shops within 5 minutes' drive. Lots of restaurant choices if you want to eat out (would recommend Casabon (fairly high end, very good), and Inboca (high end Tapas I'd say, much more rustic and local feel). Jess organised taxis to get us there. Nothing was too much trouble. Even when our flight was delayed by 4 hours and we didn't arrive until 1am he was very understanding and his assistant was there to let us in and show us around! Golf-wise it is a perfect place to stay, 3 minutes to Valderrama, less than 10 mins to Sotogrande and La Reserva, 20 minutes to Finca. Offstreet parking so you can leave clubs in the car. Highly recommend. If we go to that area again this is where we'd stay.

Great spot with incredible views, really peaceful and quiet surroundings, minutes walk from a secluded beach which feels practically private, clear blue seas, short drive to the shops, the place itself was spacious and had everything we needed, overall a great deal!

We spent one month in the house as a 12 people group, working remotely. The house is incredibly nice and even better than on the pictures. It's equipped with everything you need, kitchen wise, and elsewhere. The garden must have been designed by a landscape architect 20 years ago, and you look into the most beautiful mountainous landscape. Lots of nice hikes in the area. The WiFi was good enough to work and have calls. Lots of space for a big group.

Wir waren im April 2025 eine Woche in der Casa Hortensia. Die Lage des Ferienhauses ist fantastisch und ruhig gelegen. Die grosse Terrasse mit der traumhaften Aussicht auf die Bucht von La Herradura war das Highlight. Wir hatten eine Woche lang Sonnenschein und angenehme Temperaturen. Das Ferienhaus ist sehr gut ausgerüstet. Einige Möbel sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen, das störte uns aber keineswegs. Mark hat uns vor und während des Aufenthalts bestens betreut, die Kommunikation war stets sehr gut. Die Lage des Ferienhauses ist sehr günstig, der Autobahnanschluss zur A-7 ist überraschend nah, man hört die Autobahn im Ferienhaus aber nicht. Mit dem Mietauto haben wir einige Ausflüge gemacht. Dieser Urlaub hat uns allen sehr gefallen und wir können uns sehr gut vorstellen, in der Casa Hortensia wieder einmal Urlaub zu machen.

Het was heel fijn om in het huis van Noel te zijn vanwege de sfeer, fijne bedden, goed voorziene keuken en prettige, grote ruimtes. Het huis springt er in het rijtje huizen uit vanwege de mooie paarse bloemenzee in de tuin en voorgevel. Erg leuk om in de ochtend de luxe te hebben om bij restaurant Il Brigantino te mogen ontbijten. Al was er bij aanvang wat onduidelijkheid over wat we wel en niet konden bestellen. Maar we hebben genoten van heerlijke koffie, tostada's, huevos revueltos en crepes voor de kinderen. Het contact met de eigenaar was zeer goed en reageerde snel en adequaat. De laatste dag hebben we elkaar ook ontmoet en dat was zeer hartelijk. Bedankt voor het heerlijke verblijf!

Ontzettend fijn en sfeervol huis op een hele mooie rustige locatie. Groot en fijn zwembad. Sfeervol aangelegde tuin met mooie en gezellige terrassen om te zitten. Keuken is uitgerust met alles wat je nodig hebt. Elin reageerde ontzettend snel op vragen. Zeer flexibel met in- en uitchecken. We hebben een hele fijne week gehad met ons gezin in Brisas del Cielo.

Javier was incredibly welcoming and attentive from the moment we arrived. He was always quick to respond and offered valuable advice and support whenever we needed it. His property exceeded our expectations—it’s even more stunning than the listing suggests. The cactus garden is beautiful, and the natural pool, nestled right along the coast, is the perfect spot to unwind. A short path leads to a secluded bay where you can snorkel and explore vibrant coral reefs. The house is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, from beach towels to a Nespresso coffee machine and even a blender. I can’t recommend Javier’s place enough—it’s truly a hidden gem, and I’d love to return someday.

Diego is one of the best hosts I’ve worked with on Airbnb! He allowed a very flexible check in, he is wonderfully communicative and friendly, and very energetic. His country home is a labor of love, and perfect for a family to stay. Unique experience about 10 minutes outside Setenil de las Bodegas, as he has chickens, turtles, turkeys, and all manner of produce growing. The showers were hot, the beds comfortable, and the kitchens well stocked. Great outdoor spaces for relaxing. The one thing is about the third bedroom/loft; it is a VERY short ceiling, so our third couple (who are on the taller side) preferred to sleep on the sofa bed. Would certainly recommend Diego’s home to anyone and would return.

Extremely friendly person, always available. Thanks a lot

A mejorar: La limpieza de los utensilios de la cocina, vasos y platos estaban llenos de grasa. Eche de menos una lavadora que no es imprescindible, pero se hubiese agradecido. Algo, ya más personal un telescopio, hubiese sido increíble ya que con la vista y como se ven las estrellas sin contaminación lumínica la verdad que está súper guay el lugar. Sitio perfecto para desconectar, además de que mi perra se lo paso en grande hasta el camino del lago, muchísimas gracias a Julián por estar en contacto en cada momento, a María José por el recibimiento y resolverme las dudas y a Jose Antonio! Un sitio en el que repetir sin dudarlo y terminar de disfrutar de Malaga, el pueblo está a 3km con buenos restaurantes, carnicerías y de todo. Además, de que la playa está unos 40min que no está nada mal, al igual que hacia Ronda y otros pueblos a visitar. Nos vemos, un saludo!!!

Amazing place, photos didn’t do it justice. Host was great, responsive Great location - 10 mins walk to shop, 15 mins drive to beach.
