Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Costa del Sol Occidental

We had a very happy four day stay in September, with five of our family from Australia, Spain and UK. The property is in a quiet area with a lovely garden and large swimming pool. It is only a five minute walk from the local Aldi supermarket and the bus stop to Estepona. Various restaurants are within easy walking distance. Although we did not have a car, there was space to park outside the house. The house was really well equipped, clean and comfortable. Our only challenge was the narrow metal spiral staircase leading up to the second floor bedroom and bathroom, which required a certain agility! We would definitely stay there again.

This lovely and unique cottage was perfect for the two of us for a week in November. We were able to sit around the pool at times and really enjoyed the outside seating area which overlooked the courtyard with trees and birdlife. 🥰enormous wide double bed..We loved Bologna Beach, beautiful sand with dunes at the end, and just a handful of people around. The kite surfing along this coastline at other beaches was spectacular, we have never seen anything like it. An enormous thank you to Frank the owner who assisted me in getting my phone back when I lost it inTarifa. We flew LHR/Gibraltar airport with BA and this meant we had to cross the border into Spain to collect our car hire which was straightforward, but a bit unusual for us. We stopped at Mercadona supermarket en route, as we were not within walking distance of any restaurants, and stocked up with food incl. eggs, bacon, tortillas, salad, bulgar and dips, and this all came in very handy indeed for very relaxing evening meals

Karlien is a great host. Available for any help needed. Great at communicating and getting back to you quickly. This is a lovely villa with sea and mountain views close to town and the sea and a supermarket up the road. I would love to return.

Great holidays ! stunning view, beautiful pool, very quiet area and the owners were very nice and accommodating Would definitely come back !!!

We really enjoyed our stay. John and Elizabeth made sure everything you need is there. Our boys loved the beach toys. Also, the house has it's own parking spot, very close to the house, which is very convenient. We would recommend staying here!

Fin de semana estupendo, la casa muy bien, personal q nos recibió muy atentos y amables, la zona muy bonita.

Vi boede med vores tre sønner og to kærester hen over julen. Dejligt at alle havde eget soveværelse. Skønt og roligt område - elskede at se solen stå op over bjerget og udsigten over vandet. Gåafstanden til stranden er dejlig ned ad trappen. Det eneste minus er at der er relativt småt på terrassen, hvis man vil sidde derude og spise alle sammen om sommeren. Der er dog et stort bord, men det fylder en del.

Frigiliana We selected Camilas house for our one-week stay because of the beautiful surroundings of Frigiliana and we did not regret our choise. We enjoyed the Moresque influenced clean but robust design of the house, the remote sea view as well as the peaceful surrounding nature. A car is definitely a must for accessing this hillside location, but actually it took us less than five minutes to drive to Frigiliana and twenty to Nerja and the coast. The house is spacey with a well equipped kitchen, small dining room, large bedrooms and cozy sittning areas, several outfoor terraces giving opportunity to enjoy the sun or shadow throughout the day. We did not miss the TV at all. Heating elements were provided in every room. We also enjoyed the pool area! We found nice restaurants in nearby Frigiliana and visited also the magnificent Nerja caves and made one day-trip to Alhambra. Camila and Pati (the local host) were always friendly, responsive and easy to communicate with.

Todo estaba en perfecto estado. Localización inmejorable! No lo dudéis, la Herradura es un paraíso <3

El alojamiento está increíble, todas las zonas de la casa estaban impecables y la terraza es una maravilla. Si estás buscando una semana con tranquilidad este apartamento es perfecto.

El apartamento está genial, limpio y ordenado. La ubicación es perfecta. Un lugar tranquilo y de fácil acceso. Cerca de supermercados y restaurantes y a pocos km de Marbella en coche o transporte publico. Ya he repetido en este mismo apartamento y es muy probable que lo vuelva a hacer.

Malin contacted me a few days prior to the stay to make sure sleeping arrangements were all set for the 3 children I would have with me. I got really clear instructions on how to check in on the first day and it was obvious on arrival that careful thought had gone into making sure the children and I could settle. The apartment was a lovely base for exploring Gib - well situated near the marina for bars, restaurants and town. The complex pools are lovely. We had an amazing stay!

Me encanto el piso, genial ubicado, buen precio para ser céntrico y todo suuuuper limpio y bien explicado, no tuvimos ningún problema en general. Repetiría sin duda

Nuestra estancia en el apartamento de Alejandra en Nerja fue simplemente perfecta. El alojamiento estaba impecablemente limpio, muy bien equipado y decorado con mucho gusto, lo que hizo que nos sintiéramos como en casa desde el primer momento. La ubicación era excelente, cerca de todo pero en una zona tranquila ideal para descansar. Alejandra fue una anfitriona excepcional: atenta, amable y siempre dispuesta a ayudarnos con cualquier duda o recomendación que necesitáramos. Su hospitalidad hizo que nuestra experiencia en Nerja fuera aún más especial. Sin duda, recomendaríamos este apartamento a cualquiera que quiera disfrutar de unos días inolvidables en la Costa del Sol. ¡Esperamos volver pronto!

La estancia en lo de Cristina ha sido mucho mejor de lo que podía esperar. La ubicación realmente es inmejorable, frente al mar e incluso puedes ir a Málaga en bus que pasa prácticamente frente al departamento. El piso tenía todo lo necesario y más! Cristina muy atenta, con recomendaciones locales y a disposición! No tenemos más que palabras de agradecimiento y sin dudas los invitamos a que conozcan tanto el departamento como Benalmádena!

La anfitriona es una persona atenta y agradable que nos enseñó toda la estancia detalladamente. La estancia fascinante, amplia, bonita y muy limpio y ordenado todo. Las camas comodísimas y la cocina con todo lo necesario para cocinar y más.

We had a very late flight and didn't arrive until 02:00 at the accommodation, but Saachi asked us to message her as soon as we had left the airport and she was waiting for us as we arrived via the Taxi. She showed us around the apartment and then shortly afterwards gave us lots of local information (Bus routes - Restaurants - bike hire - supermarket etc), the accommodation was as advertised, and suited us very well. We walked from our apartment every day, in both directions. Lots of places to eat nearby. Walk into Malaga centre is about 50 minutes, but buses are available. Large TV in the lounge for an end of the day movie after many great days out. Visited various places during out stay, (Gibraltar - Narja - Grenada). Overall a great location for what we wanted to do, not too close to town, but close enough for commuting. Would definitely stay again. Saachi was easy to contact and friendly.

Nuestra estancia ha sido 10 estrellas . Ben ha sido amable, cercano y profesional. El apartamento increíble, perfecto, con unas vistas desde la doble terraza espectaculares. Sin duda un lugar con emplazamiento idílico y nuestra opción número uno si volvemos a La Alcaidesa. Gracias Ben!

Virkelig dejligt sted. Lidt larm udefra, men man kan ikke forvente andet med så god en beliggenhed. Ville bestemt besøge stedet en anden gang!

Great stay, apartment is in a prime location ideal for a short break and not far from the airport. Apartment is well equipped with everything you could need. Tania was a great host sending lots of information, thank you!

My parents, who are in their late 60s, stayed here and had a wonderful experience. The place was very comfortable for them, and communication with the host was smooth and easy. They weren’t very familiar with the Airbnb system or things like parking cards, but the host was very helpful and made everything easy for them. Most of all, the location is perfect—right in the center, which made sightseeing super convenient. Highly, highly recommend this place!

Die Wohnung ist unglaublich gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Ob Kaffeemaschinen, Küchenutensilien oder Waschmaschine alles ist da. 2 kleine Stühle für den Strand gibt es auch. Der Strand ist nicht einmal 5 Minuten entfernt. Bars und Restaurants sind ebenfalls in der Nähe. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.

The apartment is very comfortable and safe. It has everything you need for a pleasant stay. It is a new built with spacious private parking in the garage under the building. City centre is located on the same street level (no stairs). Access to the beach across the street (via stairs). There is an elevator in the city centre that takes you to the beach for .50 cents. Located in a residential neigbourhood but close to shops, restaurant and beach. Fran, the caretaker, was of great help and always checking if we were okay. We had a fantastic week! Thank you Fran.

Très bel appartement, bien équipé, bien situé tout est accessible à pied. Mes filles et moi avons passé une excellente semaine chez Michèle et José qui avaient même laissé des chocolats pour Pâques pour le plus grand bonheur de mes petites ! La vue du balcon me manque déjà ! Au plaisir de vite y revenir.
