About this villa rental
Situated on a 1,000m2 plot in the most central and sought after area of delightful central Playa Blanca. Only 5 minutes walk from the village and beach, shops and restaurants with direct access to parque Atlantico. This beautiful, traditional villa is furnished to the highest standard and offers all the comforts of home. The villa is detached, has a large drive with parking and private garden all around. There is a private, heated pool with a spacious terrace and sunbeds. In addition, residents and guests of Los Calamares have the advantage of the free use of the community tennis court. Pool table in the garden
Large smart TV with TV streaming for UK and other main channels, NetFlix , DVD with a selection of movies! The
Marantz stereo system with bluetooth and internet radio has speakers both in the house and the terrace. Even more the free WiFI even works by the pool! Aircon and pool heating are included in the price.
You will also find many other littlel extras upon your arrival as this villa is exceptionally equipped.
The terrace is so delightful that you may well find that you do not want to leave and many guests find themselves settling into the 'manana, manana' way of life and hence, have to come again.
Playa Blanca: Nestled at the most Southern point of the Island, Playa Blanca (White Beach), once a small fishing village has grown sympathetically into a relaxing and tranquil resort. Family friendly, you can enjoy dinner whilst your children play on the beach in front knowing they are safe and in sight.
There is a vast choice of restaurants including some excellent fish ones and a good selection of shops selling everything from flip-flops to diamond jewellery.
Out and About: Although a car is not necessary for this villa, we generally recommend one. Benefits include avoiding taxi queues at the airport and not having to carry the shopping! A small car may be hired for as little as €25 per day and when you realise a taxi from the airport costs about €50 it all makes sense! There is also of course the added benefit of being able to use a car for day trips to some of Lanzarote’s most beautiful spots such as Fire Mountain, Jameos del Agua or El Golfo.
Please feel free to enquire even if it is just to ask a question.

We had a fabulous stay at the squid house with our daughters, partners and grandchildren
The Squid House was perfect for us all and everything you would need for a family holiday is included.
The house is beautiful, spacious and in the perfect location just a 10 minute walk to the seafront.
The swimming pool was lovely and with heating included was perfect any time of the day
We as a family wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future

We had a lovely family stay here, 3 generations absolutely loved the house and had a great time. It is very well laid out, with both double rooms in particular enjoying a bit of privacy. The two twin rooms are close together and share a bathroom which was perfect. It was clean and tidy to the level you expect of a well loved home. It definitely feels like it has a personality rather than just being a pristine white box! The kitchen is very modern and well-equipped with everything you need and more (ice maker on the fridge!). The covered terrace was the absolute selling point for us and meant we could still enjoy being outside when it rained. The bluetooth speakers were brilliant and the sound was quite contained. There is plenty of room for 8 people in every part of the property and we never felt cramped. The pool is fab and very warm, with sun beds and a gate to keep secure from smaller kids. It’s a really short and level walk to a large supermarket and not much further to the seafront which has numerous restaurants and bars to enjoy, all of them very accommodating to families. The village has lovely shops and if you fancy a further walk round the coast path you get to the absolutely gorgeous marina area which has a fab market on Wednesdays and Saturdays and plenty of restaurants. The booking process was so easy and Therese was very kind and helpful. We all said we would definitely stay again!

Theresa was a brilliant host of this property. She gave us loads of great information. Great use of the tennis court. The back gate was a game changer for us as it meant we didnt have to walk all the way around the street. Overall a brilliant stay and a great host. Thank you Theresa.

8 of us (2 families) had a wonderful stay at Squid House over the half term holidays. The villa was perfect in size, wonderful indoor and outdoor space, and the pool and aminities were great! The added touches (drinks on arrival, coffee pods, pool toys, beach towels) were a really well appreciated, and made for a stress free arrival!
Location was also incredible, and we had many outings to the local beaches and restaurants. The kids loved the nearby football pitch and courts, while car and bike hire was also in walking distance.
I would definitely recomend - 5 stars from us!

Fantastic Villa. Equipped with everything you could possibly need. Perfect location in a quiet area but just a short walk to restaurants, bars and shops. Excellent and prompt communication with host. Will definitely return again soon.

Therese had the most complete welcome amenities we have ever seen. The location of the home is very close to the center of Playa Blanca. We enjoyed the heated pool. Although I suggest having a car this home is near the central bus station. For us this home worked very well.

We had a fantastic time at the Squid Housef over new year.
On arrival the house was dressed for the festive period. It was a nice touch - if not a bit surreal - seeing a Santa riding a dolphin tree bobble whilst it was 24 degrees outside!
The welcome basket on arrival was one of the best we’ve ever had - a great selection of wine and fizz.
The villa itself was even better than the pictures. It had everything we needed. The master bedroom is huge and it has its own separate door out into the garden.
The pool area was great and our kids absolutely loved it. The outside shower was a nice touch as we could rinse them off after playing in the pool. There was a great selection of pool and garden toys.
The outdoor seating area was our favourite part of the villa. During the day it was a great place to relax and in the evening we enjoyed having drinks - watching the fireworks go off over Playa Blanca was one of the highlights of our trip.
The kitchen was really well stocked and the fridge and freezer had tons of space. We didn’t cook much however everything needed was there if we’d wanted to.
The location was brilliant also. Exiting the garden gate meant it was around a 5 minute walk to the hiperdino supermarket area (turning left) or the port end of the front (turning right). We hired a car but in reality only used it to transport large bottles of water - it wasn’t needed.
Therese was a fantastic host and we’d throughly recommend a stay at the Squid House!
5.0 / 5.0
A fabulous villa with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing break. Lots of room for our family group and facilities are excellent. The location is perfect with 5 to 10 mins walk to most shops, bars and restaurants.
Great communication with Therese and we received a lovely gift pack on arrival. Thanks for everything

Lots of options all round.
We will be back..

We stayed at Squid House as a party of 4 adults and 2 young children. The house is wonderful, very well equipped and in a great location. Therese was excellent as a host and provided us with lots of very useful information prior to our arrival. We had a couple of issues when we got there which Therese resolved as soon as she was able. I would definitely stay again.
5.0 / 5.0
It was the perfect Villa for our group family holiday. The quality of the house is excellent such as the new kitchen refurb and en-suite bathrooms.
We loved that there were cold refreshments and household amenities all available, a drinks cabinet and a little outdoor bar that was just added before we arrived.
Heated pool was great for the little one and it was cleaned twice during our stay. Beach toys and towels also a big plus!
It can get a bit warm in the communal spaces in the house but we didn’t mind relaxing outside in the seating area with the blankets provided.
Great location!
5.0 / 5.0
Everything was exactly as promised, more so in the sense that the villa is so well equipped - plenty of pots and pans and well stocked cupboards in the Kitchen, TV with UK channels, Netflix etc, and lots of outdoor space to sit and enjoy lunch in the sunshine. All in all, a perfect mid winter break.
5.0 / 5.0
Therese is a wonderful host, she was easily contactable and always replied immediately. The villa is very large with lots of personal touches, including christmas trees, a gift bag and very well stocked drinks cabinet and complimentary toiletries. The beds were super comfy, beautiful gardens and pool. The location is great, approx 7 minutes stroll to the sea front and harbour. An abundance of restaurants and bars, the ferry trip to Corralejo and trip up Mount Timanfaya a must. Rancho Texas is a fab zoo to visit for the kids. We went for christmas and the temperature was around 25 degrees every day.
I would absolutely recommend this villa. 10/10.

We were six people between 16 and 54 who stayed in The Squid House 31/10 - 7/11 2022. Everything was incredibly good! Location, house, garden, contact with owner. We will definitely be back!

Villa is beautifully equipped and full of character. Location is great for the whole Playa Blanca area, central from bus station & main front but also central for Playa Flamingo and Rubicon. Best suited to families and big groups as area can be a little noisy for retirees like us :-)
5.0 / 5.0
We had a fabulous holiday as an extended family group -the space and location were perfect- 5/19 mins to plenty of bars restaurants and the seafront. The private pool and gardens were delightful, the large master bedroom perfect for a family of three, the second bedroom great for a couple and the other two perfect for sharing. Tue owner was helpful responsive and the Lanzarote manager the same. We would definitely return!

This was our second stay, with the previous one being in 2019 before the craziness of covid. On arrival it was exactly how we remembered it, with the great addition of a pool table to keep the kids and bigger kids (adults) happy. The villa is clean throughout and has everything you need. Location wise, it was already a 10-15 minutes from everywhere but there is an added bonus with the new through road at the back of the villa which means you are now literally less than 5 minutes from the nearest supermarket and 10 minutes from the town centre or the opposite end where the ferry port is. It is also now only a 15 minute walk to the Aqualava water park.
The pool is well kept and the kids loved it in there. The outdoor speakers are also great for during the day by the pool and night when relaxing in the garden of a night.
I cannot rate the villa highly enough and would love to return again one day.
Thanks to Therese for letting us stay at your beautiful villa.

We enjoyed a great week in Playa Blanca amidst the backdrop of COVID restrictions. The villa is a fantastic place to stay with great facilities and really helpful communication from the owner. We would highly recommend for large groups looking for easy access to Playa Blanca!

Excellent
Loved Squid House the layout of the property is great. We travelled as 2 couples and a single adult so having a bathroom each was great. Spent a lot of time on the lovely terrace where there is enough seating for everyone - as there is in the lounge. Nice 5 to 10 minute easy walk into town so no need to have a car. Would definitely go back to this villa and highly recommend it.

Oh wow, this villa is absolutely perfect - tons of outside space, seating areas, comfy beds, just lovely! As a family, we had such a relaxing and comfortable stay. Walking distance to shops, bars, restaurants & beach. Therese is a wonderful host, she could not be more accommodating. We all wished we could stay longer & would have no hesitation in rebooking.

Lovely villa and great location....
Arrival and entering the villa went to plan thanks to Therese's detailed instructions sent prior to arrival.
The villa is wonderful, everything you need from the well equipped kitchen to the fab music system which was great whilst lazing around the pool.
It is only a 5 minute walk to the nearest supermarket & 10 minutes walk to sea front with all the various restaurants, shops....etc.
We wouldn't hesitate in booking again - thank you Therese for letting us stay at your villa.

Excellent large villa in a great location
Villa is in a great location being only a short walk into playa Blanca centre
The villa itself is large and well laid out with plenty of space for all the family
Pool is large and very clean with plenty of sun lounges
bbq and bar area are a bonus as is the shady Terrance where you can enjoy a cool beer while sitting on the ample furniture and outdoor sofas
Ample kitchen with very handy washing machine and large fridge which was a boon
The only gripe would be the poor electricity supply which soon became evident when we switched on the aircon units these tripped very easily
It was also impossible to have more than 2 appliances on at the same time otherwise everything tripped
It certainly didn't spoil our stay at the villa but it was something we had to deal with everyday
I spoke with the owner regarding the situation and was told some upgrading was or had been done to the electric supply recently so probably a temporary blip but apart from that we would certainly love to book this villa again
Many thanks

It Really Does Have It All...
We had a fantastic Holiday at The Squid House!
It is in a fantastic location, which was only a 10 minute walk into the centre of town for our 2-year old. There is so much space around the Villa that if you do need a time out (for whatever reason) you can take yourself off for some quiet time. Although the pool isn't as big as most others in the area, it had more than enough space for us (4 x Adults & 1 x Toddler, plus inflatables).
For a family, it really does have it all as well... Large Cot, Travel Cot, Highchair, Bed Guard, small Buggy, etc. It was an added benefit to also be provided with Tea, Hand, Bath and Pool Towels!
Finally, Therese was fantastic to deal with from start to finish!
