Overall, the property met our expectations providing a decent sized villa in a quiet area. However, Turkey is very hot in August and we struggled sometimes without air-conditioning particularly as the fans were a bit broken and so didnt seem safe to leave on overnight in a childrens bedroom. We also found the bathrooms lacking. We understand that the Turkish plumbing means that toilet paper needs to be put in the bin but we found it impossible to stop the toilets themselves smelling of ammonia. We were obviously not the first to notice this as there were lots of air fresheners and toilet blocks around the place.
Nevertheless, these small complaints were more than made up for by the easily accessible and lovely swimming pool and the beautiful relaxing environment around the villa. 
Other reviewers had suggested that hiring a car would be a good idea. We chose not to do this and found that the Dolmus service was great - reliable, frequent and reasonably priced. 
Overall then, we would all give the villa a thumbs up if, like us you are looking for something away from the big resorts and are not afraid to give up a few luxuries.

Gumusluk Villa - Villa to rent in Gumusluk

 From Swansea, United Kingdom

The property was in  a lovely secluded location within the complex, yet was minutes to the pool and the bar/restaurant.  The property itself was better than we expected particularly the spacious upstairs that left lots of room for suitcases etc.

The guy running the bar/restaurant was very helpful and accommodating. Although the menu was limited what was available was tasty with a real home cooked feel.  It was great value for money.

Once we got over the hurdle of confirming our identity to access the private lagoon - this was a delight.  We felt very exclusive.  The whole family preferred this as a location than the beach in Gumusluk.

We divided our time between the beach at Gumusluk, the lagoon at the complex and day trips.  Of our trips - Bodrum, Turgetreis, and Yalikavak we would certainly recommend Bodrum and Yalikavak.  Turgetreis was a bit too touristy for our taste.

Overall a very memorable holiday, particularly the stunning views and sunsets across the bay.

Turkey

 From Istanbul, Turkey

We had a fantastic holiday and the villa is lovely. Gumusluk (and the surrounding towns) are great places if you want to get away from the hassle of the bigger citys (tourist resorts) in Turkey, but at the same time has everything you might want... there are quiet relaxing beaches and resturants in Gumusluk and a 10/15 min bus ride to the more busier shops and bars.
The dolmus (bus) are very cheap and run until 2/3am so can have a good night out without any hassle. Gumsan complex has its own pool and small shop very close by and the beach lido is lovely with two cafes, showers and changing rooms and a safe area to swim. Although the beach is a nice walk down the hill it can be a treck to walk back up, however, there is a beach train that will dro p you off at the villa if you dont fancy the walk. The villa is as described, comfortable and clean and lovely to sit out in the evening. The turkish residents nearby were really freindly offering help if we needed (we thought that was lovely) also Stu the owners freind who picked us up at the airport was very helpful too. We would recommend both the villa and the area of Gumusluk and would go back their again ourselves.

 From Liverpool, United Kingdom

The villa is an lovely location, with views over the Agean.  It is quite hilly, so we would have struggled without a hire car in the August heat even though the local Dolmus service was very convenient and cheap to use.
We had a few problems with the water supply as it is turned off for several hours a day in the complex.  The owners have installed a reserve water tank, but there must have been a leak as we were left without running water for a few hours on a couple of days.  We have fed this back to the owners, and Im sure this will soon be resolved.
The surrounding villages are beatiful with some lovely restaurants &amp; shops, and we would definately recommend watching the sun go down whilst eating in the Limon restaurant in Gumusluk, it was quite spectacular.

 From Bacup, United Kingdom

A most comfortable and well presented property. It has everything you could need as well as a fantastic view and peaceful location. The photos do not do this property justice. We can highly recommend this property in all its aspects. The owners have taken alot of care to present the house well and provide all the comforts. Ideally located to explore this area of Turkey easily.

 From Poole, United Kingdom

This property is very spacious in fact, it is actually bigger than the photos show. It was very clean and in a nice area. The pool sides were steam cleaned and the pool cleaned while we were there.We were asked when we would be out of the villa so the above could be done. We had a problem with the gas alarm but this was quickly seen to after one phone call to the manager. When our son lost his rocket on the roof, after one call, someone came out to try and retrieve it.Excellent service.The pool is not overlooked as some of the villas and this gives a good idea of space and there is a nice view of the green and surrounding villas. We loved the en suite master bedroom and the walk in shower. Everyone found the beds to be really comfortable. It took us a while to work out how the cooker worked -couldnt find any instructions but hey-it is much cheaper to eat out anyway!
The villa has good poolside furniture and is obviously well looked after. The kids loved the games room, which is in the garage with obviously no air conditioning, very warm but they enjoyed the pool table,air hockey and there is a sound system and TV in there as well.The electronic dartboard was not working .The only pool toys were diving rings and a ball.Lilos, rings etc will need to be brought with you or purchased at the local walmart.We had a great holiday and would recommend rental of this villa.

Norway

 From Sogndal, Norway

We chose Gumusluk Villa because it looked good value, and the area looked lovely. 
The house was nice and very clean and for a self catering holiday it has all that you require. 
We loved the pool area, which has a large pool and two small pools for the children, and the complex itself is really very pleasant. The views from the terrace are excellent and we had several wonderful BBQ’s watching the sun go down over the nearby Greek Islands.
Gumusluk is a small fishing village, and very quaint, with fabulous restaurants which light up all along the beach.  The village has terrific sea views and small beaches, which were not at all over crowded. 
The town of Turgetreis is close by, and easily accessible by local dolmus or car - you must visit the Saturday market there for souvenirs to take home at very cheap prices.
Overall we can say that Gumusluk Villa is fantastic value for money. Great location - short walk to swimming pools and beach. Quiet - if you are looking for nightclubs and bars then you will need to travel but they are only 20mins away.

 From Blandford, United Kingdom

An absolutely smashing villa in an excellent setting and area.  The pool and the hot tub were brilliant.  I would definately have no hesitation in recommending this villa.

Ireland

 From Tallaght, Ireland

The villa was brilliant, especially the garden and large pool.  Villa is in great location for a relaxing holiday, but near enough the biz of Los Alcazares.  Great location for exploring other areas of Murcia.  This is the second time we have stayed  at the Mar Menor Resort and hope to return.  Would love to stay at his villa again and would recommend to friends and family.
