Overview
Description
Wonderful 5 bedroom house with 3 bedroom guest house. Sweeping sea views. Please note: Minimum booking is 2 weeks in high season, and I only accept bookings by the week in June through August. Change over days are Fridays or Saturdays in high season (April-Sept), other times are more flexible so please enquire!Fabulous family villa (designed by the American architect, Frank Lloyd- Wright) and guesthouse in large, private gardens with many tropical plants, roses and citrus fruits. The urbanisation is one of the oldest on the Costa del Sol. Most of the people who live here are permanent residents, giving the area a feeling of calm and stability- no night clubs in the neighbourhood, although you will find them a 15 minute car drive away.
The house has been our family home for over 25 years which means it doesn't have the typical "rental property feel". There are games and books, sewing stuff, toys, videos, dvd´s, a fully equipped kitchen, my cooking books, spices and baking stuffs. Please use it! There are two fridge freezers, washing machine/drier (although I never use it, preferring to dry the clothes naturally) a large Weber bbq, wifi, satellite tv, play house, basketball hoop, football goal, table tennis, beach bags & toys etc.
You are more than welcome to pick lemons for your evening drinks! There are several tropical and semi-tropical plants and fruits as well as roses and lilies, depending on the time of year. The pool is very large for a private villa and has a fence in case you have young children. There is a slide (removable) and a diving board.
The property is ideal for families of three generations for example, and big enough so that you can all enjoy your own space or come together by the pool or dining table or one of the seating areas. We only accept families and not groups/stags/hens etc.
We supply all linen and towels as well as beach chairs, beach toys and cool bags- the house is fully equipped for families.
The villa has French doors in all rooms facing the expansive, flat lawns, making this a very easy and comfortable way to live for all ages. There are several seating areas, both in shade and sun, and we have three roofed areas for dining, drinks or relaxing, One outside the dining room, one by the pool and the other overlooking the sea.
There are several Championship golf courses nearby and a driving range within 0.5km. Gym, tennis and padel close-by. Beaches, many of them with Blue Flags, are within a 10 minute drive as is Aqua Park, Selwo Marina, Fuengirola Zoo and Benalmadena Marina. For anyone wanting to travel further, there are excellent train connections to Malaga, Cordoba, Sevilla and Madrid. This is a quiet area without bars and restaurants within the urbanisation but the village of Benalmadena Pueblo has a surprisingly large selection of really good restaurants!
Our 1 dog (Rango) may be on the property but not anywhere in your areas- he is looked after by the gardener and although very friendly, we ask that you don´t let him out (you are likely to lose your bbq chicken...or get his company in the pool). Please do not feed him.

Amazing Family Villa with Extra large pool
By Keith Tomlinson on 11-Jul-2026We had a fantastic family holiday at Villa Acuario and would highly recommend it. Communication with Jenny was brilliant from start to finish. She always responded quickly with clear answers to any questions and ensured all our requests were accommodated, especially given our late arrival. The villa was perfect for our group of 9. The swimming pool was very large and well maintained, with the pool technician visiting twice a week. The gardens were also huge, providing plenty of space for everyone to relax, play and enjoy themselves. We loved being able to pick fresh lemons and limes straight from the garden. The villa has a traditional Spanish charm while still offering modern comforts, including air conditioning in all bedrooms. The kitchen was a great size for a large family, and having two Fridge freezers and washing machines was a real bonus – we returned home with no washing to do! There was plenty to keep the family entertained, including a basketball hoop, table tennis and football net. The outdoor space was excellent, with a large gas BBQ and plenty of seating for family meals outside. A real advantage was the separate second building, which allowed one family to have their own space. It included three additional bedrooms, bathroom and a kitchen, which worked perfectly for our group. We found Uber very easy to use during our stay. While a car is helpful, it isn't essential (I'm a 53 year old person) Benalmádena Pueblo is around a 17-minute walk away, with a couple of steep hills, and there are several bus stops nearby, the closest being about 10 minutes away. We managed perfectly without a car, even walking to Lidl for shopping and taking a taxi back for around €10. Overall, Jenny's family home was amazing. She made everything easy, and the villa offered space, comfort and excellent facilities for a large family holiday. If we holiday in Spain again, we would definitely return without hesitation.
