Afternoon sun and a walkway to the beach

A 19 m² private terrace faces the afternoon sun and takes in views over the street towards the sea. It belongs to this 2 bedroom middle floor apartment in Manilva Playa, Manilva, a residential complex with direct pedestrian access to the shoreline. The flat has an 89 m² built area and comes with its own underground parking space.

How the rooms connect

The floor plan divides the cooking area from the main room, using a separate kitchen with a serving hatch through to the living and dining room. Keeping the kitchen enclosed stops cooking noise and smells from filling the rest of the home, while the hatch keeps the connection to the dining table practical. Both the main living area and the principal bedroom have direct doors out to the terrace. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms in total, with the main bedroom having an en-suite bathroom and the second bathroom serving the guest room and visitors.

The terrace and what the community includes

At nineteen square metres, the outdoor space is big enough for a proper dining table and a pair of loungers without blocking the doors from either the lounge or the main bedroom. Because it catches the afternoon sun, a buyer viewing the flat should check the light and heat levels late in the day, as well as the road noise from the street below. Downstairs, the Manilva Playa complex provides more than the standard pool and lawn: residents share a communal swimming pool set in gardens, tennis courts, and a children's play area. An underground parking space is included, keeping the car out of the heat.

Walkways, marinas and daily errands

From the complex, a pedestrian walkway leads down to the sand in under a five-minute walk, removing the need to cross busy roads or hunt for beach parking in August. On the coast road, this 2 bedroom middle floor apartment in Manilva Playa, Manilva sits between two major hubs, Puerto de la Duquesa and Puerto de Sotogrande. For daily shopping and services, the town centre of Sabinillas and the Duquesa marina are both a five-minute drive away, with closer local amenities also nearby.
