To summarise a nice flat in a great location.Ideal providing your happy with noise from dogs.I had booked for five weeks but left after three and a half because of the dogs.

Relaxing winter break
We wanted privacy and a comfortable relaxing break and we got just that. The apartment is bang in the center, which means you hear the music from the bars when sat outside in the evening, but close the doors when inside and there's no noise at all. This didn't affect our stay however and we sat outside every evening There's load's of bars and restaurants near by but it's worth exploring the area for the nicer ones. Marian was thorough with everything and the contact before we left was better than we have ever experienced. She was there too meet us and went through all the information that we needed We had a later flight and she was kind enough to accommodate a later check out, which was greatly appreciated The apartment itself has everything that you could possibly need, including dishwasher and washing machine. The bed was comfortable and we slept very well. It was spotlessly clean to a standard that you don't always get even in more expensive accommodation. I couldn't fault anything and hope that we will return again in the future - it is a hidden gem Thank you Marian

Birthday Vacation
We stayed here 11-11-23 to 25-11-23. We found the property to be in an excellent location, bars restaurants and beach all within a few minutes walk. The property benefited from having a large terrace with plenty of sunshine from 9.30 in the morning till late afternoon. The apartment was fully equipped with everything you needed to make it home from home. Only 1 negative no access to U K TV but at the end of the day we were on holiday. Will definitely book again.

Wonderful space to relax
Situated in the heart of Caleta. A short stroll to all amenities. Fabulous location. Apartment has all you need for a relaxing stay. Outside terrace gets the sun most of the day and the shaded area was a bonus to help keep cool. The property is tastefully furnished and very comfortable. Advertised with air con, and it has, but only one unit in the living room which was a little disappointing. However with all other doors closed apart from the bedroom it did cool it down to enable you to sleep. Patio outside in the evening perfect for a nightcap. Our host Marian was a delight and so welcoming. I would recommend. Thank you

Fabulous Location
What an absolute pleasure to meet owner and husband on arrival. We were shown around and given gifts before we spent the next 2 weeks enjoying one of our best relaxing holidays ever. Perfectly situated with shops, restaurants, taxis, buses, car rental and the sea front all within a very short walk. We embraced our surroundings with the knowledge of being guests living within the local community and even made new friends. Accommodation was ideal clean & well maintained with the added icing on the cake ‘air con’. We rate our holiday high on our priority list to return again. Just superb 😊

Needs some TLC
The apartment was a good size and location but could do with some modernisation. The beds were not very comfortable and the bedding very old and worn (baubly sheets are my worst nightmare) and had the feel that everything left from a house clearance had been put into this apartment..

Best apartment of many we've stayed in. Has absolutely everything you need, is homely has brilliant patio stretching all round property for all day sunshine and great furniture for eating breakfast or evening meal outside as well as sunbathing if you just want to stay in. Had many lovely breakfasts and evening meals on the bbq. Supermarkets etc just around the corner and beach 5 min walk away. Loved our stay, Marian is a great host, will definitely stay again!

Stayed here for a week at short notice, Marion was quick to reply to any questions we had leading up to our holiday, talked us through everything when we arrived. Apartment was as described with great wrap around balcony getting the sun for 90% of the day. Central location and so close to all the bars, restaurants and supermarkets, 5 mins to the beach too. I would highly recommend this Apartment and will return very soon

Feedback on our stay
The person was polite and pleasant when we met she showed us around the flat. Unfortunately as the day/week went on and we took a closer look the flat was run down and dirty sheetspillows sunbeds towels were atrocious dirty and old We did not experience a full shower one day of our holiday it would start of warm then get cold the second person using it had no hot water at all, although when we complained Marion says "it happens" and she was getting a new boiler this made a small difference but not good enough. My husband lost his hearing aid and we lifted the cushion from the sofa it was full of crumbs and added to the anxiety I felt for a wk. I went home unwell and not refreshed at all My concern is who is writing her reviews? as it certainly did not say anything about the issues above. The small time we spent in the flat there was dogs barking all the time. Money and a wk waisted. Really should be something done about the conditions Cate

Superb location
Marian was there to meet us and show us around the apartment , which is in a very central location close to numerous bars and restaurants,but still very private and there is no noise indoors to stop you from sleeping. The apartment has a terrace which wraps round three sides of the building where you can catch the sun from early morning till it sets in the evening. This was our 5th visit to Caleta and we will certainly stay at Marians apartment again

Everything you'll ever want in a holiday
We had never been to Fuerteventura before, and Caleta de Fuste was nearly chosen by random, but are we glad we did. Marians apartment is exactly all you will ever need for a perfect holiday, the apartment is big, very well equipped, with the largest out side space I've ever seen on a first floor apartment that catches the afternoon sun, which is perfect for sitting out after a day on the beach, or enjoying an evening meal. The apartment is a small steady stroll from the beach, and has restaurants and bars within a 100mm from the front door. Caleta de Fuste has a lovely beach area (although windy in July) with plenty of sun beds. A lovely marina area with a number of restaurants, and activities for the family. When roaming around in the day or night you feel safe and everyone is welcoming and friendly. We found some lovely restaurants and placers to drink cocktails and while away the evening. We could not fault the apartment or Caleta de Fuste and hopefully return next year.

Wunderschöner Urlaub
Die Wohnung ist exakt wie auf den Bildern. Das Schlafzimmer mit dem übergroßen Bett ein Hammer. Terrasse einfach klasse. Esstisch dort ist Windgeschützt und wir konnten schon morgens dort frühstücken. Das Bad ist ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen und könnte erneuert werden, aber das ist ja bekanntlich Ansichtssache. Die Wohnung ist zentral gelegen, 5 min. zum nächsten Supermarkt und zu den Restaurants. Wir hatten noch nie so einen fantastischen Urlaub. DANKE MARIAN. Hoffe dir geht es bald wieder gut . Freuen uns auf den nächsten Urlaub in diesem Haus, denn das werden wir auf jeden Fall wiederholen. LG Walter und Annette
