Great stay, a lovely apartment, well kitted out, really good balcony with sea views. The location was great for us, just a 15-20 min stroll to the centre of the old town and about 10 minutes stroll to the marina. Less than 5 minute walk to the beach. We would recommend and definitely stay here again.

From the outset, the communication with Diana (owner) was excellent. She provided contact details for Esme who would be handing us the keys upon our arrival. Parking space in the basement of the property was an added bonus. Esme was a delight. A welcome pack of eggs, milk, butter, jam, water and orange juice was provided and a lovely gesture. Property was clean. Kitchen had limited workspace, but we were not planning in cooking a 3 course meal !. Air Conditioning and WIFI were both excellent. The only slight negative was that we could find no English speaking TV channels other than Sky News and CNN - Could have been us being useless, but we did spend ages channel hopping !- But it was not a make or break as we were not there to watch TV ! But could be an issue if there were any children staying. Netflix was available Plenty of wardrobe space in both bedroomsThe views from the property are stunning. A 3-4 minute walk down the hill takes you to the beach. Less than 10 minutes to the right, takes you to the Marina which has numerous bars and restaurants. 15 minutes in the other direction, takes you to the Old Town. Beach Bars are all along the 'promenade' towards the Old Town

Wonderful Property

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Diana and Adolfo’s condo at Balcones del Mar. Conveniently located with quick access to downtown, the beaches and the port. We have stayed in another property of theirs a couple of times and so it was no surprise that they thought of everything one would need for a comfortable stay. The pool area is superb and clean with all day sun. We could not have picked a better place to stay for our two weeks in Estepona and will be back!

November break

Lovely apartment with views out to see. Flat was very clean, light, airy and comfortable although in places the communal areas would benefit from a re-fresh. Temperature was in the low 20's, so really nice for a few days away. There is construction work on the front (Nov 2022 and while not intrusive it does mean you cannot get down to the beach or to walk along the front without walking either to the port or into town.

Lovely

This is a lovely place to stay. The location is great. Everything is within walking distance including the beachfront. The view from the balcony is perfect. Any place where you can step outside and see the Rock of Gibraltar in the distance is great. (Do yourself a favour and visit Gibraltar. Fantastic day trip.) The flat is on the 7th floor, no one above, which is nice. It's clean and well-appointed, good heating system should you be traveling during the colder months as we were. That being said, the sun beams into the living room, wonderfully warm and inviting. Great place.

Simply Superb

From the moment of check in with Silvia who explained every detail we needed, to checkout after one week, we cannot recommend highly enough Balcones del Mar. Your every need is catered for. Appliances all in excellent order. The property was immaculate, the aircon VERY welcome. Then there's the location. Perfectly situated between the Marina and the Old Town. Not forgetting the amazing views from the balcony where you can see the Rock of Gibraltar, and even Africa on a clear day. I wouldn't think twice about coming back to the wonderful Estepona.

Beautiful apartment and pool.

We sold our apartment in Estepona in December after 16 years, and were a little apprehensive booking to come back as holidaymakers. We needn't have worried, Sylvia emailed her contact details before we arrived and met us at the entrance, showing us around the urbanisation and apartment, which was a really nice touch. The apartment is well maintained and the owner has thought of everything. It was clean, comfortable, and the views just amazing as you see from the photos. We were very impressed with the pool which is set in beautifully maintained gardens, this has to be one of the largest pools near the marina and has the added bonus of sunbeds too.

About the host

Hosted by Diana Martinez Bentley

Host profile image

I'm from London and made the move to the Costa del Sol many years ago with my Spanish husband. I love the culture, climate and relaxed Andalusian way of life. A lot of thought and care has gone into preparing our beautiful penthouse apartment for others to enjoy. We hope to be able to share the magic of Estepona with you soon.

Why they chose this property

Estepona is a fishing village that has grown into one of the most popular and eco-friendly resorts on the Costa del Sol, yet it still manages to retain its authentic Spanish character.
Located at the foothills of the Sierra Bermeja mountain, it has an iconic old town adorned with hundreds of colourful flowerpots, pedestrianised streets and boulevards, a fishing port with a marina, and miles of glorious sandy beaches and boardwalks. Local amenities include museums, orchidarium, theatre, street markets, plenty of shops, supermarkets, a wide range of tapas bars and restaurants, beach bars, plus many seasonal events, concerts and festivals.
Málaga & Gibraltar airports are under an hour's drive away. Sotogrande and Marbella are less than half an hour away by car. There are many wonderful places to visit for the day including Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada, Ronda or the nearby Andalusian "White Villages". You can also take a day trip to Morocco.

What makes this property unique

The apartment occupies a privileged position on the top floor of a gated complex in a quiet, secure area overlooking Estepona town, beach and port, with all amenities close at hand. The views from the terrace are amazing! The nearest beach is a couple of minutes walk away and the fishing port and marina only 10 minutes on foot. The historic town centre is a 10 to 15 minute walk along the beautiful beach boulevard. You'll find a great selection of bars, restaurants, shops, supermarkets...and much more, right on your doorstep. The apartment has a sunny balcony, lift access, free fibre optic Internet/wifi & an allocated underground parking space. All bed linen and towels are provided.
