Main living room is air-conditioned and so are both bedrooms. In winter, the units provide warm air heating. The town house is situated on a secure small complex on ground and first floors. The swimming pool is not within view of the property but is 30 seconds away! The property is very suitable for children since the complex is small and secure, but the pool does not have a dedicated childrens section.

Lower tiled patio area with table and 4 chairs,built in barbecue leading to fully maintained gardens and then pool and paddle/tennis court. The patio has outside lights and it is possible to enjoy evening meals and drinks outside. The gardens are also illuminated during the hours of darkness.

The swimming pool is kidney shaped and approximately 18 metres long.

Guest comments
Many thanks for the use of your house we had a lovely time and didn't want to leave. Dave was very helpful and kept us supplied with fresh towels and bedding. Kind regards Susan x (Mr and Mrs H from Ayrshire- July 2010)
We are now home from a lovely holiday in Cala Honda. We were so lucky with the weather. It was warm and sunny every day. Your house was very comfortable with every mod cons and convenient to shops, eating places and the main roads. It was also very quiet on the complex. We enjoyed sitting on the top balcony reading and just relaxing. Mr and Mrs A -January 2011
Many thanks for the use of your townhouse and we all really enjoyed everything and had a great holiday. The O'G family July 2011.
Owner profile
About the owner
We bought the property after owning an apartment high up in the hills of Calahonda which was fabulous but just impractical for us as we are getting older and creakier!
We fell in love with this one and its location and fantastic setting and jumped at it since very few properties here come onto the market. We made the expensive move - without selling the other one first so I think that shows what we thinks of this town house! Anyway after a costly 12 months we sold the first property and were then able to put some money to this and had the main bathroom totally refurbished last summer and are planning to do the same to the downstairs shower room in the coming year.
We love chilling out in Calahonda, only problem is we don't have chance to use it more often!
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We feel that Calahonda is in a perfect location - within easy driving distance of the well known resorts of Marbella and Fuenguerola, but with less hustle and bustle that you find there, particularly in the peak months. For us the balance of what is on offer in Calahonda is just right. Also we find that in bars and restaurants the prices are a little cheaper than you would expect to pay in say Marbella or Puerto Banus.
If you want to see live entertainment or go to a karaoke bar then you will find them, but there is the right mixture of those places, local tapas bars and a great choice of restaurants . The driving distance from the airport - about 30-45 minutes means that for us, quite often a weekend break is feasible with cheap budget flights.
Unique benefits of the property
We have tried to make the property home from home so apart from the obvious cups, plates and pans, we have supplied board games, packs of cards, CDs and DVDs. There are inflatables to use at the beach, umbrellas and beach mats, tennis racquets for the court on the complex, maps and information about local places of interest. We find that a lot of guests love the community gardens and pool that they don't bother making a trip to the beach. If you don't hire a car then shops and restaurants are but a short walk away, but the town house is secluded enough that none of the noise is picked up. Calahonda beach is a 5 minute walk for those who love the sea air, but there are views of the Med from the property.
