View Makes it Worthwhile
The sky and the sea fill the apartment with their presence. It is even more beautiful than the pictures show. We were surprised that there wasn't any air conditioning or heat though we should have read the listing more carefully. We were there is October and the temperatures were in the low 70s. If it was any hotter, we would have had a hard time sleeping because the western orientation really heats the place up. Also, the freezer isn't working and the mattress is a bit tired. Having a queen mattress sit on a king size bed frame made it difficult to move around the room without banging your shins. It could have been cleaner, however, the location and the view are exceptional.

Great apartment with amazing view
I booked this apartment because of the photograph showing the view and it did not disappoint. Located about 15 minutes walk out of the centre of Tarifa in a quiet area and 5 minutes walk to the most magnificent beach. The apartment is spacious, very comfortable and well equipped. The view from the balcony and huge window is spectacular, looking out to the whole bay across to the Straits of Gibraltar and Morocco and almost the full length of the beach. The sunset every night was captivating and we struggled to actually leave the view to go out and do other things. We found very good restaurants in Tarifa, enjoyed the old town and interesting history to take in. We will definitely be back at some point to explore more of the area and to stay in this apartment again.

Great views from this penthouse apartment
We really enjoyed this cosy penthouse apartment in central Tarifa. Great location and walking distance to everything in town. During our one week stay however we had very windy and cool weather which was very disappointing 🙁. Winds were so bad that the main bedroom window made an awful racket and made for poor sleep. Otherwise great. Deborah

Fantastic sea view with glorious sunsets.
Spent a lovely week out of season when tarifa is less hectic, can walk the back streets in the old town without the crowds. Apartment is clean and has all your need during your stay, position is great for the beach/old town/supermarket/restaurants which are all within easy walking distance. Loved watching the sun go down every evening with a view to die for. Hope to return soon . Dave and Wendy.

Perfect location and amazing view
We had a lovely holiday here and hope to be back soon. Good comms and key safe entry made arrival super easy. We could park directly outside about 75% of the time - and the other times the dedicated parking spot down a few steps was great. (Watch your feet - lots of dogs around!) Appartment was perfect for the two of us. Plenty of room for our stuff. Comfortable bed. No air con but fan above bed was great. Very comfortable sofa. Kitchen well equipped. Small mini dishwasher on top of fridge. Washing machine. Hob/oven. Coffee machine was a nice addition - we used it a lot :). Balcony has some nice seating with best view in Tarifa. You can see Dos Maris end of beach all the way into Balnearo beach in town. (Never miss when the winds in). Also big enough for two of us to do yoga. Papayas is a nice spot down on the beach front for a G&T. Surla nearby to this is a good breakfast spot but can get busy (it is open until 6pm and does a nice Pad Thai if you want an early dinner). Favourite breakfast spots were up on the main road - eg Helen's or Elements - try the Acai. It's a few minutes walk to the beach or a 10 min walk to town - location is perfect. Thank you

Great Views and Location!
The apartment had great views and location, easy to walk to town and yet far enough to enjoy piece and quite. There are restaurants a few blocks away as well as access to beach. I would recommend staying at this apartment. Owner and building manager were great communicators. Marcelo

Perfection in lovely Tarifa
We are an active, retired couple and enjoyed everything about our stay in this apartment, beginning with the excellent and informative email ahead of our visit. The keys were in a little key safe which made checking in extremely easy. We managed to park outside or very nearby on every occasion. The apartment itself had everything we needed: I will long remember the balcony and the view. The bed was firm but comfortable, there was plenty of wardrobe space, the kitchen was fine (proper espresso coffee machine) and the wifi was extremely fast. The photos give a very accurate impression. Mercadona supermarket was close-by for provisions and the excellent Surla was just a few yards away for breakfast/lunch. We loved the 20 minute stroll into town along the beach, sand and sea between our toes. Sometimes we'd stop for an aperitif and to enjoy the sunset at Waikiki, our favourite beach bar. In the late afternoon and evenings, Los Lances beach came alive with kitesurfers, an amazing sight, but the warm, shallow pools that remained after high tide were perfect for toddlers. Old town Tarifa is an extraordinary place: we loved the slightly 'alternative', young vibe. We were made very welcome and always felt completely safe and secure. There are so many restaurants, cafés and bars in the narrow streets, the little alleys and squares! In addition, the variety is incredible: we enjoyed traditional Spanish cuisine, North African, vegetarian and vegan (there are a number of excellent establishments). We were very pleasantly surprised by our very worthwhile and interesting castle visit. Our favourite outings were whale watching from the harbour (Firmm is an environmentally friendly company) when we spotted several Sperm Whales; watching spectacular migrating raptors from the watchpoint Trafico and Cazalla); a drive to the beautiful moorish town of Vejer de la Frontera and walking in the Valdevaqueros Dunes at the northern end of the bay. Since our visit, I have looked again at all of the properties on offer in Tarifa and remain convinced that this was the very best choice we could have made!

Laurents place is the perfect location, within walking distance if the shops, beach and old town, there's plenty of parking if you have a car and you will never get tired of the view from the balcony. If we visit terifa again will will definitely book Laurents place.

Ideal location in easy reach of beach, town and amenities
The apartment has a very relaxed ambience... very chilled. It is well equipped with all you'll need to prepare meals and relax. From the terrace you have an uninterrupted view of sea and miles of beach. From around 1400hrs the terrace is bathed in sunshine until sunset; these are stunning. Tarifa is a great place to do 'nothing' and never get bored... the old town is a matrix of criss-crossing cobbled streets, bars, cafes and purveyors of all descriptions. If you'd rather be doing 'something' there's lost to choose from day or night.... Tarifa is one of my favourite getaway locations and the apartment was perfect.

Very happy with our stay in Tarifa
This was our first time visiting Spain, and our first time using VRBO. We were very happy with our first experience. Laurents apartment is very quaint, comfortable, and clean, with a beautiful view of the Mediterranean. We had rented a car, and had no trouble finding street parking very close by. There are an abundance of restaurants a short walk. It’s a 20 wander into the downtown area and harbour. From Tarifa we did day trips to Gibraltar, Morocco (on the ferry), and along the coast to Cadiz. If your looking for a comfortable and quiet spot to use as a base to explore the Tarifa area this is perfect.

Wohnung mit traumhaften Blick aufs Meer
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in der Wohnung sehr genossen. Der Blick aufs Meer vom Wohnzimmer und dem großen Balkon ist sensationell. Der Kommunikation mit Laurent und Ben, dem Verwalter vor Ort, verlief unkompliziert und schnell. Die Wohnung hat alles, was man für einen entspannten Urlaub benötigt. Auch die Restaurantempfehlungen waren super. Wir werden gerne wiederkommen.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Die Aussicht ist der Hammer! Morgens das Schlafzimmer verlassen und sofort auf dieses gigantische Meer zu blicken, kann einen verzaubern. Und dieser Ausblick entschädigt auch fast alles andere, was an der Wohnung nicht so optimal ist. Die Betten sind extrem weich und durchgelegen, ebenso die Couch. Die Küche ist schlecht ausgestattet, die Schränke sind fast alle nicht zu öffnen (privat). Die Wohnung ist sehr hellhörig - wir hatten sehr laute Nachbern (unter uns). Wir hatten leider das Pech schlechtes Wetter zu haben und haben daher viel Zeit in der Wohnung verbracht, da können diese Dinge irgendwann sehr störend sein. Für alle die den ganzen Tag am Meer verbringen und die Küche nur zum Pizza aufbacken und Kaffee kochen verwenden, ist die Wohnung gut geeignet. Und noch mal: dieser Ausblick… so schön.
