Frontline beach living with 150 square metres of built area

Terrazas de Costalita sits directly on the seafront of Estepona's New Golden Mile, with a gate opening onto the sand and cafés, restaurants and shops within walking reach. This 2 bedroom middle floor apartment with beachfront in Terrazas de Costalita, Costalita is a resale home where the main numbers stand out immediately: 150 square metres of built area shared between just two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Proportions inside the flat

Most two-bedroom flats on this stretch of coast are compact holiday boxes; a built area of 150 square metres gives the rooms the footprint usually reserved for a three-bedroom layout. That volume shows in the living room, where floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows pull in daylight and frame views across the planted grounds to the Mediterranean. The kitchen comes fully equipped with its appliances, and having two bathrooms for two bedrooms means visitors never need to use the main bathroom. Because this is a middle floor apartment rather than a ground floor or penthouse, there is no lawn to maintain and no exposed roof terrace above, which keeps lock-up-and-leave ownership straightforward.

The 20 square metre terrace and what the community includes

Outside the main glazing, a 20 square metre terrace looks out over the communal green grounds towards the sea. Twenty square metres is deep enough to hold a dining table for four and a pair of loungers without blocking the doors from the living room, though buyers who want space for an outdoor kitchen or a large sunbed zone will find it more contained than a penthouse layout. Down below, Terrazas de Costalita is a gated, secure complex with communal swimming pools, landscaped gardens, dedicated relaxation zones and children's play areas. Parking is also included with the property, removing the headache of street parking near the beach in August, and the gardens give a direct route out to the shoreline.

What to check when you visit

When viewing a 2 bedroom middle floor apartment with beachfront in Terrazas de Costalita, Costalita, spend time on the terrace to test the exact angle of the sea view through the garden trees and check how the floor-to-ceiling window mechanisms have held up against the coastal salt air. It is also worth asking the administrator about the rules around the pools and play areas during high summer.
