Description Costa Sunshine: Chaparral

With an abundance of on-site amenities including communal swimming pools, a tennis court, a children’s playground and resort restaurants, it’ll be hard to tear yourself away from this coastal home. That said, what caught our eye was the private balcony – the perfect place for sipping sangria as you drink in the sea views. Two guests will sleep on the sofa bed but otherwise, we think it works well for a family – particularly with Fuengirola Zoo and the Mijas Aquapark nearby. Fancy a lazy day splashing around in the sea instead? Playa Rocas del Cura is a leisurely five-minute stroll away.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
*This home is situated on a resort, with shared amenities including communal swimming pools, a tennis court, a children’s playground, restaurants and a small supermarket. The swimming pools aren’t fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a high chair for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*There’s free on-site parking available here.
