In one of the best positions of the entire coast, our fabulous Penthouse apartment has stunning views over Marbella Marina and the beach which is a few paces from the front door. Great views even when sitting in the living/dining room and from the kitchen, and both bathrooms. You will see fabulous sunrises and sunsets and Gibraltar and North Africa often appear so close. There are equally stunning views to the mountains from the master bedroom. Beautiful 'Old Town Marbella' and Orange Square with its wonderful shopping is 4 or five minute stroll away. You can walk along the coast to Puerto Banus along the marble Paseo Maritimo right outside our door and there are countless lovely Restaurants everywhere. The Sky Blue ferry (opposite the apartment) runs regularly between Marbella and Puerto Banus. We offer a private parking space with lift access directly to apartment door but of course you don't need a car as you can walk everywhere! We have recliner chairs with cushions and table for use on the terrace. There is sunshine all day. During the winter months the sun is lower in the sky and fills the living room with sun with is wonderful for relaxing and sunbathing, half in the room half on the terrace. In the summer it is higher so is only on the terrace, which keeps the apartment much cooler! The Air con/Heater is operated by a coin in the slot system which costs 1 euro for 4 hours. It is obviously more than this to run but it is designed to make guests aware of not leaving it running with all the and doors open which would break the machine. With windows on all three sides the lovely sea breezes mean air con is not usually needed. There are ceiling fans in both bedrooms. The beach is so pretty and clean and lovely for swimming, that a pool is not necessary. Most pools in Spain are not heated so have limited use. It is perfect for little children as it is a cove created by the Marina breakwater so has much calmer water than elsewhere and is very shallow at the edges. It is also fabulous for proper swimming for adults! There is a lovely children's play area on the beach and two restaurants on the sand, serving food and drink to you on beach loungers if you wish. Our beautiful cove beach is less than 30 seconds from the Front Door with beach beds/parasols and restaurants. You can also take your towel (Please bring your own Beachtowel as we don't supply them) and lie on the sand. Yoga and TaiChi are practiced regularly outside apartment. Many more beaches and beach bars are easily accessed by walking along the Paseo (or the beach of course) in either direction. Between December and April there is great skiing 2.5 hours away in the Sierra Nevada or visit Granada and the Alhambra Palace. You can sunbathe in the morning and ski in the afternoon! . All equipment can be hired on arrival or pre-booked on internet. A perfect day trip and even night skiing!
Distances: Puerto Banus about 10 minutes, Old Spanish town of Estepona 25 minutes. Gibraltar (Duty Free) 50 minutes. Only 15 minutes drive inland will take you to beautiful white villages such as Ojen, Monda and Cesares Its a 40 minutes drive to Ronda where you can see the oldest Bull Ring in Spain. Beautiful Mijas is about 30 minutes. Things to do: You must go to the famous outdoor markets of Marbella (Monday) San Pedro (Wednesday) and Puerto Banus Bullring (Saturday). Selvo Safari Park 15 minutes. The water park at Benalmadena (10 minutes) is a favourite for the kids. Also Go Karting. There is even hot air Ballooning across Andalucia! Numerous banks on Ave Ricardo Soriano (2 minutes behind us) together with all the designer shops!! Spanish Tapas bars are everywhere! Try a day trip to Morocco from Gibraltar!

We really enjoyed our stay in Marbella. There is a huge choice of bars and restaurants in walking distance, so you don't need a car. Only the TV reception was sometimes poor...
This was our second time staying at this beautiful place.
The location, the view, the comfort & the easiness of communicating with the owner – makes it the best spot in Marbella. We will definitely come back and stay here again.
Exceptionally clean, perfect location, amazing views. Everything you need.
Beach across the road €16 euros for 2 beds/umbrella
So many restaurants to chose from, worth taking catamaran to Puerta Banus which runs hourly from 11 am
Would definitely return.
Spent a glorious 2 weeks here. The location could not be more perfect, the views are amazing, you see the sun rise and the sun set. Cannot wait to return.
Property matched listing. Location was excellent especially during relatively quiet season. Hosts were extremely helpful and engaged during a building water problem.
Excellent apartment, perfect location, amazing views, very comfortable, owners and manager were great communication. Will definitely book this property again.
Awesome condo - location is perfect, views are amazing, condo is clean and as nice as in the pictures.
The owners Peta and Henry are super nice and friendly.
The property manager is fantastic - she arranged someone to pick us up at Malaga airport and dropped us off herself for departure. Wonderful lady.
Loved our 3 week stay!!
Our family had an amazing time in Marbella! Property was exactly as listed! The only difficulty we had was getting in and out of the garage as space is very small…
The apartment superseded my expectations. The views from the apartment are stunning and the location is perfect. You can be on the beach in 2 minutes and in the ‘Old town’ in 10 minutes. Apartment is large enough for a family. I will be coming here again!
Everything about this apartment was fantastic the location, the stunning views, the size and cleanliness as well as fabulous bars and restaurants nearby. Communication with the owners etc was first class and checking in and out was a breeze. Thoroughly recommend a stay here if you’re travelling to Marbella. John
Some miscommunication on arrival but sorted out without too much stress.
Fantastic penthouse right in the heart of Marbella. Wonderful views and so close to everything...did not use the car. Would like to return oneday.
Clean and convenient. Perfect for a family of 4 the terraces are stunning morning and night. We rented another place one building over as well for my in-laws. Close to beach and old town. It was perfect. Had a little ant problem but there was some spray and they didn’t come back. I think it’s was raining a lot and they were coming in through bathroom. I sprayed and they were gone!! Really a beautiful place and location couldn’t be better. Thank you for the wonderful stay
We are regular visitors to Marbella but this was our first stay in this beachfront top floor apartment. Everything was as described with good communication with very informative owners and links to a local contact for any immediate needs.
Stunning views and great sitting out on the balcony watching the world go by. It is a prime spot on seafront but it can be noisy till early hours of the morning but there is aircon so closing doors/windows means noise is barely audible and rooms remain as cool as you would like.
Another enjoyable stay in Marbella - we would be happy to rent again.
Excellent communication with host. Incredible location, albeit noisy all hours of the day. Unparalleled views. Easy access to restaurants, services, pharmacies, gyms, groceries & Old Town. The best Gelato in the world is just west on the Paseo--Gioelia--amazing. The property itself is a bit tired, a good clearing out in the kitchen, deep cleaning overall, nice towels & bedding would put this place over the top. That said, the photos are an excellent representation of what you see every day--after a month living there, we would have to say, the best spot on the Paseo.

Great location but property not up to standard
We had to clean everything when we arrived - floors , washrooms, surfaces, inside microwave, glass table tops, etc. which is a bad start. Sheets and towels not great quality. However the owner left detailed info on everything which was very helpful. Sunrises and sunsets are beautiful as are the views and the location is close to everything.
A beautiful apartment in a central setting with wonderful sea views! Sadly 48 hours of torrential rain followed by storm force winds...that is life. However we had a restful stay and a good break which was our aim. As is not unusual with Spanish buildings, some rain got into the apartment. At one stage the heating failed, but many thanks to the housekeeper and the owner as everything was rapidly sorted out without any inconvenience. In more normal weather the apartment would be excellent.
We stayed in January for winter sun and the apartment certainly gets plenty of that, overlooking the beach and great views from good sized balcony watching local volleyball and hardy swimmers. Nice touch having binoculars there for guests to use. Umbrellas provided but we didnt need to use them.
King size double bed very comfortable. Washing machine very handy as we stayed a while. Local amenities on doorstep, excellent restaurants along paseo and only a five minute walk into Orange Square. Great walk into Puerto Banus for lunch along paseo 1 1/2 hours and taxi back.
The heating system worked well as it got cold in the evening. We watched television which had plenty of channels to choose from. Janina the manager was very helpful and check-in very easy.
We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely return.

Not a penthouse
Upon arriving at the so called penthouse house you enter the lobby which had shall I say a very unusual smell. There are two lifts which resemble something from the 1970’s. Extremely small and so claustrophobic with no air conditioning. The apartment itself is certainly no ‘penthouse’. It is extremely tired and is in desperate need of updating. The only accurate description is that it does have good views. The render of the outside of the building is falling off so you can see the steel frame. My son actually stated it looked like the in betweeners hotel. Definitely not a penthouse!

Fantastic Apartment in Marbella!
We recently spent a week at this penthouse apartment and it was FANTASTIC! The views are awesome. The apartment is very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. We did not need the air conditioning during the day - rare for Americans, but it was very nice overnight. (Stock up on 1 euro coins since the shops tend to hoard them.) The information packet from the owners was very detailed and helpful. Their driving directions were very detailed and accurate. The shops, restaurants, and beaches are all at your doorstep. The kitchen had everything you would need. There are lots of tours to the local area (even Morocco,) available thru Viator and they will pick you up two streets over. We even rented a boat and captain across the street for a wonderful afternoon on the water. Even though my husband speaks decent Spanish, I didn't need it since almost everyone we encountered spoke English. All the people are so nice. We would definitely rent this apartment again.

About the host
Hosted by Peta and Henry Fletcher
We are Henry and Peta Fletcher from Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire (English and Australian respectively). We are young at heart if not in body! Like many of our returning guests each year we love the time we spend in the apartment and now we are lucky to own a very special rustic villa (with a private large heated swimming pool with a telescopic cover for swimming in the winter) just ten minutes away and a few metres from the beach. (We hope to be renting this very soon also). We have been renting holiday homes on this site since 2000 and become friends with many of our guests.
Why they chose this property
When you walk into the apartment you will know immediately why we fell in love with everything about it. We looked for a long time at many apartments on the front and found nothing to compare. The views and position are exceptional. It has been our home in Marbella and is much more than just a rental property.
