Hello,
My name is Nicolas, I am French and I live in Lyon where I have been an osteopathic physician for more than thirty years. You can find out more about me by visiting medecin-osteo.fr
I have known the whole Cabo de Gata region since 1965, as I was lucky enough to spend many summers there with my parents, who had embarked on the adventure of buying a small holiday home not far from Almeria. In those days, it took two or three days to get there, and it was quite an expedition to come by car from Lyon, as the motorway stopped in Perpignan at that time!
Almost 60 years have passed, the region has changed enormously, but there are still places that have remained absolutely intact as on the first day, completely preserved from the real estate madness. The family holiday home had to be sold when my parents died. I knew very quickly that I could never leave this part of Andalusia that I love so much. And so I decided to buy a flat in Carboneras, a small and still quiet town, and a wonderful starting point to enjoy all the wild beaches and places where the roots of my childhood are still. The pleasure of coming back in summer or out of season remains intact, and I am sure that there are particular telluric forces here that contribute to an unparalleled mental and physical renewal in a few days. I have been truly in love with this region for so many years!
This is where the ¡Vamos a Playa! experience was born.
First the big flat, bought in 2018, which I listed on Airbnb to be able to more easily pay the mortgage. From the outset, the idea was to create something different, more polished, really well equipped, where you immediately feel like you’re at home and not in an impersonal rental like we see so many. After a few return trips from France, including two with a 20m³ van full of furniture found at flea markets, the first flat was ready, and it was an immediate success both on Airbnb and on Booking.
The tenants’ opinions speak for themselves. This is why I did not hesitate to invest two years later in a second flat with an equally beautiful terrace, located in the same building on the beach.
Airbnb and Booking are wonderful springboards for furnished rentals. Unfortunately, these services are very expensive for both you, the tenant, and me, the owner.
That’s why I didn’t hesitate to create this website, which allows me to offer much more attractive prices that allow everyone to find their way. And I am happy to have a growing number of loyal tenants who come back year after year to “their flat” and who would not for a second think of going through Booking or Airbnb!
On site you will be greeted by Betty who after cleaning and preparing the flat for you, will welcome you to hand over the keys and show you your flat in detail. Betty is always smiling and in a good mood. And she is incredibly efficient in dealing with any problems, big or small. Without her, renting two flats from France with peace of mind would probably be impossible.
