We had a great time (3 weeks!) in Garden Beach with grandparents and small kids. The house and area was exactly as described in the listing. The neighbourhood is calm, the seaside is great, i.e. beautifully managed promenade (you can walk to Estepona), amazing views, excellent sandy beach for kids, cool chiringitos in 5-min walk, supermarket in 5-minute drive. Good starting point for 1-day trips (Malaga, Gibraltar, Ronda, etc.). Our host was always easy to reach, and always super helpful. The house was indeed well equipped, clean and had a good layout for a big family gateway (e.g. well separated bedrooms with “private” bathrooms). Large livingroom!
The only thing I missed is the pool area which was not operational, but our stay was in May which is definitely pre season.
All in all we do recommend Garden Beach if you are looking for a holiday house with family where you can feel like home!
