Fabulous space – large and centrally positioned, Austin’s rooftop provided amazing sunsets with the sun sinking into the mountain range.
To cool off the mar menor is less than 2 mins walk, lots of beach bars, a cheap with very long & crazy fun fair rides not far ..perfect for kids and wallet, cool bars like el rubio 360, carnivals,cheap boat trips to la manga, bike hire for many flat routes , snorkelling spots, el paseo de mar – a boulevard leading towards la manga is fantastic for walking or cycling. The mud baths are also great
It’s a good base and the town is very spanish which hugely appealed to us
Book it as you’ll not be disappointed – AirBnB Ben (UK) Aug 2019
Erg leuk appartement met een heel mooi terras en een heel mooi uitzicht richting bergen en loop afstand van het strand. Er is van alles aanwezig in het appartement waar je gebruik van kan maken!
Very nice apartment with a very nice terrace and a very nice view towards mountains and walking distance from the beach. There is everything in the apartment that you can use! – AirBnB Jan Willem (NL) Aug 2020
Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Austin qui, apprenant nos mésaventures à l’aéroport (bagages perdus) est venu nous chercher en voiture. L’appartement est très bien situé à proximité de la plage, des commerces et des restaurants. Il est également proche de la fête foraine (mais suffisamment éloigné pour ne pas entendre de bruit). Il est très propre et bien équipé. La terrasse est très agréable car toujours un peu ombragée malgré la chaleur de la région. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les attentions d’Austin à notre égard (jouets achetés pour notre enfants, chocolats, tee-shirts souvenirs…). Nous avons passé un très bon séjour et mettrions volontiers 4 étoiles et demi si c’était possible!
We were very well looked after by Austin who, learning our misadventures at the airport (lost luggage) picked us up by car. The apartment is very well located near the beach, shops and restaurants. It is also close to the carnival (but far enough away to not hear any noise). It is very clean and well equipped. The terrace is very nice as always a bit shaded despite the heat of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed the attentions of Austin towards us. We had a great time and would gladly book 4 stars and a half if that was possible! AirBnB Laurent & Family (France) Aug 2016
Han sido dos semanas fantásticas en casa de Austin. A la casa no le falta un detalle pero destacaría la terraza, un lujo.
It’s been two great weeks at Austin’s house. The house does not lack a detail but highlight the terrace, a luxur

The apartment is not modern, but very cozy. We lived there for almost two months and really loved it. It is foodshops and restaurants as close as it gets. The terrace is big, and it has a lovely sunset. The owner is amazingly serviceminded and reliable. When we came to The apartment we had wine, chocolate and fruits waiting for us. He had also left a lot of information for us about The area. We really felt welcome! If we had questions the owner gave us quick response. Wouldn’ t hesitate to rent this apartment again!

“Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. L’appartement est très agréable et assez bien équipé. Nous avons très bien été accueilli par Austin que nous remercions pour sa gentillesse et ses petits cadeaux de bienvenue. La climatisation est bien appréciable pour les jours où il fait très chaud et la terrasse est super pour prendre le petit-déjeuner et le dîner (trop chaud pour le déjeuner). La plage de la Mar Menor est idéale pour les jeunes enfants.”
We had a very good stay. The apartment is very nice and pretty well equipped. We were very well received by Austin, whom we thank for his kindness and his little welcome gifts. The air conditioning is nice for the hot days and the terrace is great for breakfast and dinner (too hot for lunch). The beach of the Mar Menor is ideal for young children.

Austin was a thoughtful, kind and generous property owner. The communication was amazing (before and throughout our stay), and we really appreciated the lovely and/or useful gifts on our arrival. The apartment was in the perfect location – in-between the mud/salt pools and the best area for eating in the evenings. The apartment had everything we wanted and needed, including a very large terrace for pre-dinner drinks. We also found the apartment to be great value. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Austin and this apartment, and also the area (especially for any rheumatic illnesses).

I stayed at the Marmenor Penthouse for a week in April. The apartment is a home away from home, with everything you could possibly need. There is a large private terrace, ideal for eating al f
resco or just some sun-bathing. The location is just perfect, with the beach a two minute stroll away, (with great walks in both directions along the sea-front). There are plenty of places to eat very close by, as well as a Carrefour Express around the corner should you wish to eat in. Marmenor penthouse has all of the ingredients for a great holiday Alex London, UK May 2016
We stayed in Marmenor Penthouse from 1st March to 10th March and absolutely loved it! The apartment is in a fantastic location, it couldn’t possibly be any better. Shops, pubs and restaurants all just around the corner, airport close-by and most importantly miles and miles of promenade along the bay to stroll along and enjoy. As apartments go it has everything you need and was very comfortable. The apartment and the common areas were very secure, spotless and nicely decorated….
The kitchen is a decent size and well equipped but we didn’t cook much as there was always great food and value in the restaurants close by. The Wifi was very speedy and easy to connect to. The balcony was really spacious and lovely to sit out on in the evenings. The apartment was so nice that it was much more than just somewhere to sleep as can be the case with most apartments in the sun. There is a bike rental shop just down the street and we were able to rent bikes and cycle for miles stopping every so often at a beach bar for a drink. As it was the beginning of March, we had lovely sunny days but cool evenings which we were unprepared for. Luckily there were a number of heaters in the apartment which worked perfectly.
The owner had left us a personalised guidebook for the area to include restaurants, car rental etc. and this was really useful. While there were only two of us, the apartment would comfortably sleep 6 and would suit groups of adults or families alike. We would most certainly recommend Marmenor Penthouse and hope to return ourselves later this year Kate/Johnny Dublin, IRELAND Mar 2016
We are back home in Tipperary and acclimatising to the Irish weather again! We had a really lovely relaxing holiday in Lo Pagan and loved the location. Thanks so much for the great facilities – you have everything covered and the little touches make a big difference. We do hope to be back in the future (If you’re agreeable) Oct/ Nov 2016 Michelle & Family Tipperary, IRELAND Oct 2016
