Cosy apartment – 4 min walk from the beach – La Tejita El Medano Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Cosy apartment – 4 min walk from the beach – La Tejita El Medano, you immediately get that “home away from home” feeling that’s honestly pretty rare with vacation rentals. The four-star property sits in the Residencial Las Terrazas complex, and I mean, the name really does deliver on that cosy promise. What struck me right away was how thoughtfully everything’s been set up — it’s clear someone actually lives here or at least cares deeply about the guest experience. The apartment feels lived-in but pristine, if that makes sense.

Location & Neighborhood

La Tejita is one of those spots that locals know about but tourists are just starting to discover, which honestly works in your favor. You’re literally four minutes from La Tejita beach — I timed it — and this isn’t some crowded tourist strip. The beach here is this gorgeous stretch of golden sand that’s popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers, but there’s plenty of room to just sprawl out with a book. El Médano proper is close enough for restaurants and that authentic Canarian vibe, but you’re tucked away from the hustle. Couples seem to really get this location (they rate it 8.1), and I can see why — it’s romantic without being isolated.

The Space

The apartment itself is smartly designed for actual living, not just Instagram photos. You’ve got everything you need for a proper stay — a well-equipped kitchen if you want to cook with local ingredients from the market, comfortable seating areas, and sleeping arrangements that don’t feel like an afterthought. The terrace situation is particularly nice; you can actually sit outside in the evenings with a glass of wine and feel like you’re part of the neighborhood. Storage space is adequate, which sounds boring but trust me, you’ll appreciate it when you’re not living out of a suitcase.

Practical Perks

Here’s what really matters: free parking. I know it sounds basic, but in the Canary Islands, especially anywhere near the beach, this is actually a big deal. You won’t be circling blocks looking for a spot or feeding meters. The recent guest rating of 8.8 for location tells you everything — people consistently love being here. The building itself is well-maintained, and you’re not dealing with sketchy elevators or confusing layouts that make you feel like you’re in some anonymous hotel block.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back is that perfect balance of independence and comfort. You’re not tied to hotel meal times or dealing with thin walls and noisy neighbors, but you’re also not roughing it in some basic rental. The proximity to La Tejita beach means you can pop back for lunch or a quick shower between beach sessions — something you really can’t do when you’re staying further inland. Plus, being in a residential area gives you that authentic Tenerife experience where you’re shopping at local stores and maybe picking up some Spanish from your neighbors. It’s upscale enough to feel special but relaxed enough that you can truly unwind.

Tenerife’s hotels wrap guests in palm courtyards, sunset terraces, and concierge-led stargazing at Teide National Park.

• Martin from Germany (9/10)

  Great location, close to the beach and a small twon center with a supermarket, bars and restaurants. Nice playgrounds nearby. Free underground parking. Washing machine. Pool. Good value. This part of Tenerife was (at the time of our stay in February) one of the few consistently sunny places, although windy.

• Jill from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Lovely apartment nice and clean, near beach shops and restaurants, Lana was very friendly and helpful, thank you for a lovely stay in your apartment

• Lelde from Latvia (10/10)

  The apartment is very nice and fully corresponds to the description and photos.My husband, son, and I lived here for 2 weeks. The hosts, Lena and Artur, are very quick to respond to messages and were very nice.Fantastic location, as there is a supermarket 2 minutes walk away, very close to the beach, a children's playground near, and the apartment building has a private pool. The pool is very clean, as is the whole building. We noticed that the cleaner works incredibly hard in this building. The pool is not crowded, so we especially liked it. The neighbors are incredibly quiet. Do they even exist?:):)
  The apartment has everything ready for comfortable living. Suitable for both couples and families with children.My only advice is to buy a new pan, as the two existing ones are pretty worn out, but that's a minor thing.
  Safety was very important to us; everything was on a high level here. There is private parking and lots of keys everywhere, so it wouldn't be easy for strangers to enter this building from the street. A few minutes' drive away is a beautiful little town that we recommend visiting. (Los Abrigos)
  Thank you; we will definitely be back. Very nice apartment, surroundings, and hosts.

• Natalia from Poland (10/10)

  The apartment is gorgeous and spacious with a lot of outdoor space. The pool wasn’t very crowded and sometimes even empty. The beach is right down the street and a supermarket across the street. It was the perfect place for a relaxing stay.

• Tina from United Kingdom (10/10)

  The Rooftop was a bonus

• Tomaž from Slovenia (10/10)

  Everything was great. The apartment has its own garage. You can take the elevator directly to the front door of the apartment. The apartment is very large. It has a balcony and a terrace at the top, with chairs, a table and deckchairs. It is true that most of the time there is a little wind due to the location of the apartment. The terrace has a view of the sea and the airports. Airplanes do not disturb the stay in the apartment too much. Our child really enjoyed every time the plane took off. There is everything in the kitchen, more than enough. The apartment also has a pool, which is partially heated.
