Beachfront apartment or secluded villa – what’s your dream home?
It’s a tough choice to make – to sit on your terrace on a warm summer evening listening to the waves break on the shore or to hear the gentle chirping of crickets from your porch while the stars shine brightly in the dark skies above? If you’re contemplating the perfect location for your dream home, we have some hints that might help you make up your mind.
Peace, privacy, space
Owning a secluded villa in its own grounds comes with many advantages, not least of which the fact that a single-family home will generally enjoy a garden with its own swimming pool, ideal for larger families with children. No more fighting for sunbeds in the morning! For a holiday home or permanent residence, a villa offers a degree of privacy not afforded in an apartment.
Being independent, this will also mean that you are free to design the house to your own taste, subject to local planning regulations of course. Want an outside kitchen or a chill-out area on your roof? Go ahead – it’s your dream home after all!
Beach vibes
Perhaps a beachfront apartment is more your style? The convenience of apartment living cannot be overstated. Often called ‘lock and go’ properties, an apartment is most convenient for those who don’t want a permanent residence or to bother with the time, effort and money required in the upkeep of a villa – pools need cleaning, gardens need maintaining etc. An apartment is a far simpler solution for those who just want to enjoy their home without added labour. Outside areas are communal, and therefore the responsibility of the community, so you have all the benefits of glorious year-round outdoor space with none of the work. It’s a win-win!
And with the beach close by, you’ll never be more than a stroll from your favourite chiringuito for lunch, or a sunbed to enjoy the year-round sunshine of the Costa del Sol.
Hopefully we’ve narrowed down your choices a little. There’s a property for everyone, be it secluded villa or beachfront apartment. We’d love to find your dream home [click on link to contact us]
