East and west light with shared grounds on the beachside

Shared gardens and a swimming pool sit within the gated complex below this home. While search filters may classify the listing as a 3 bedroom middle floor apartment with private pool in Guadalmina Baja, the specification confirms that both the swimming pool and the gardens are communal. Knowing this before booking a viewing saves a wasted trip for anyone expecting their own water on an upper level, while confirming for others that pool maintenance is shared across the community.

Dual orientation and the shared grounds

Having both east and west orientations is a practical advantage in an apartment block. Single-aspect flats either bake in the afternoon or stay cold after lunch, whereas an east-west layout catches morning sun on one side and late afternoon light on the other. It also allows a cross-breeze when windows on opposite sides are opened. No private terrace dimensions are stated in the property data, so a viewing is required to see how the outward-facing rooms open to the exterior and how they take in the country views. Downstairs, the gated perimeter encloses the communal garden and pool, keeping the grounds private to residents and their guests, with an entry phone system controlling access from the street.

How 102 square metres built works for three bedrooms

Fitting three bedrooms and two bathrooms into a 102 m² built area means the floor plan is compact and leaves little room for wasted corridors. One bathroom typically serves the main bedroom while the second handles the other two rooms and visitors, which is a sensible ratio when five or six people are staying at once. Because 102 m² built has to divide across sleeping quarters, two bath spaces, a fully fitted kitchen and the sitting area, at least one or two of the bedrooms will be modest in size. A buyer should bring a tape measure to check wardrobe depth and bed clearances in the secondary bedrooms. Marble flooring and air conditioning run through the property, which is presented as a resale in good condition.

Beachside setting, transport and parking

Guadalmina Baja lies on the seaward side of the coastal road, and this urbanisation is beachside and close to golf. Daily errands do not require a long drive because the block sits close to shops and near transport links. When a car is needed, the property includes both garage parking and open parking. Having a garage space alongside open bays is useful in a holiday home or permanent residence, as one vehicle can be locked away under cover while visitors or a second car use the open area inside the complex.
