We stayed at this beachfront villa for about two weeks, in July 2015. First the positives: the location of the house was excellent for us, since we have family that lives nearby. The house is in a beautiful, picturesque, quiet neighborhood (Guadalmina Baja), with private security and very little traffic. It is true beachfront: when you open the gate from the backyard you are standing on the beach sand, a few dozen steps from the water. The beach is one of the best if not the best in that whole area: sandy, wide, not crowded and clean. The house sits on a dead-end street and the driveway has ample parking for 3-4 cars. Within walking distance there is golf (Guadalmina Beach Golf resort), a great restaurant (Cortijo) and a superb beach chiringuito (Sol Beach) with live flamenco shows and great food and service, right on the beach. The sunsets are spectacular. It is close to Puerto Banus (5 minute drive) and Marbella (10 minute drive) and there are plenty of grocery stores nearby. The villa itself is in need of a renovation, though. The furniture is old and worn out and the wall paint needs refreshing. The bathrooms, although clean, are also in need of a makeover. The wi-fi is very unreliable and the TV only has local channels. There is no air conditioning. The pool needs new tile and a new pump/ filtering system. There are only really four bedrooms and four baths, although there is a detached garage with two beds and a bathroom, more for chauffeurs or housekeepers than guests. The kitchen is tight (although there are two refrigerators) and the laundry room/ washing machine is very old. The two porches are very nice and spacious and there is a sundeck above the house with great views. The landscaping is nice and well kept. Bottom line is that if you don't mind dated furniture and no central air, you enjoy the beach more than the pool and you limit the guests to about 8, this villa is an outstanding value for the price; and the location is absolutely incredible.
