Short Term Rental - House - Calahonda

This villa is a very private, one-of-a-kind, spacious, beachfront villa, with access via a private gate to the famous boardwalk and Royal Beach. Along the boardwalk, the Puerto de Cabopino is a 20-minute walk, with a lovely selection of “chiringuitos” along the way. The villa has outstanding panoramic views of the Mediterranean and on a clear day, even views of the African Coast and Gibraltar. The house is accessed by a quaint, private entrance with secure, automatic gates which lead on to a warm cobbled driveway which takes you directly up to the private parking at the front of the house. When you first arrive, you find yourself captivated by the views and the perfectly groomed garden with a full array of colourful flowers, emitting a wonderful mix of tropical aromas. The exterior of the house maintains traditional Andalusian aspects with terracotta and pastel colours, whilst the interior mixes both traditional, rustic features with modern design and subtle splashes of colour. It has recently undergone a substantial refurbishment and the results are impressive. It is extremely spacious, light and airy and the largely open-plan design maximises the wonderful views. It has a large living area and an amazing open-plan bar area with built-in fridges. There is a separate fully fitted kitchen, opening onto a lovely dining area. It also has a courtyard patio, a peaceful garden and a private swimming pool with optional heating. The front terrace offers both an uncovered seating area and a covered area with a large table for those long lunches with uninterrupted views out to the ocean. The pool is accessed via the front terrace. There is an additional large terrace on the first floor. Villa Monterray comprises 5 large bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. There are two master suites situated on the first floor, both with walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms and their own private access to the enormous terrace with stretching ocean views and a quirky, rustic thatched-roof lounge area. One of the master suites also has a separate small balcony overlooking the garden. Three bedrooms are located on the ground floor, one en-suite with direct access onto the front terrace and one which shares a bathroom with bedroom 5 with direct access onto a quaint courtyard with a beautiful ceramic mural and in-built, tiled seating under an arch of bright pink flowers, perfect for some quiet afternoon reading. Bedroom 5 has a large window with views onto the side garden, filled with lemon and lime trees. The villa is conveniently located approximately 35 minutes by car from Malaga airport, 15 minutes from Marbella and 25 minutes from the famous Puerto Banus.
