Two independent houses within walking distance of the sea

A separate one-bedroom guest house with its own kitchen and solarium divides the accommodation here across two buildings rather than one. This 4 bedroom detached villa with garden in San Pedro de Alcántara sits on the beach side of the town, a short walk from the sea, and has been fully renovated in a contemporary style. Having a self-contained annexe changes how the property works in practice: visiting relatives, adult children, or live-in staff have their own front door, living room, and cooking facilities without sharing the main house.

Main house and guest house

Total built area is 260 square metres across the property, with six bathrooms serving the four bedrooms. The main house contains three bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, alongside a fully equipped modern kitchen. The fourth bedroom is in the independent guest house, which has its own bathroom, living area, fully equipped kitchen, and a spacious solarium. Because there are two extra bathrooms beyond the four bedroom suites, neither household needs to send daytime guests through a bedroom to use a bathroom.

The 560 m² plot and heated pool

On a 560 square metre plot, once the footprint of the two buildings and the off-street parking for two cars are accounted for, the outdoor space is manageable rather than sprawling. A 40 square metre terrace and a covered dining area handle outdoor meals next to the landscaped private garden. The swimming pool is heated and fitted with hydromassage and lighting, which makes it usable outside the summer peak rather than sitting idle from October to May.

Heating and specification

Both the main house and the guest house have underfloor heating throughout. In a coastal property used outside the summer months, this matters more than most decorative finishes: winter evenings by the sea are damp, and heating both buildings properly means the guest house is not just a fair-weather bedroom. The renovation is already complete, sparing a buyer the permit delays and contractor management of updating an older beachside plot.

What to check when viewing

When viewing this 4 bedroom detached villa with garden in San Pedro de Alcántara, check how the two buildings sit in relation to each other on the 560 square metre plot, and whether the guest house solarium overlooks the main terrace and pool. Ask to see the technical specification and heating source for the underfloor system and the pool heater, as running both in winter will set the baseline for utility bills. Walking the route to the beach in person will also show the exact surface and lighting of the streets between the house and the seafront.
