This renovated townhouse is located in Costalita, within the Atalaya Isdabe area on the New Golden Mile between Estepona and Marbella. The property is positioned on the beachside of the coastal road, approximately 400 metres from Playa del Sol Villacana and Playa del Saladillo. Built in 1989 and since renovated, the house offers 186 m² of living space with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, a south orientation, sea views from the terraces, and access to a communal pool within a gated complex. The property holds a valid tourist rental licence. Everyday amenities including a supermarket at roughly 200 metres and a pharmacy under 600 metres are within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in a consolidated beachside urbanisation between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara. The beach and seafront promenade are roughly 400 metres away on foot. The immediate area combines residential streets with beach restaurants, while Villa Padierna Racquet Club is adjacent at approximately 300 metres. Marbella lies 25 km east and Estepona town centre is a short drive west.
The house is arranged for year-round or seasonal occupation: four bedrooms, three bathrooms including an ensuite, an open-plan living and kitchen area with fireplace, air conditioning, and WiFi. Terraces face south with views over gardens towards the sea. A communal pool serves the gated complex. Parking is on the street, and the property is sold part furnished with a fully fitted kitchen including a wine cooler.
This is a resale property, not a new development. The building dates from 1989 and has been renovated to a modern standard, with an open-plan layout, a contemporary kitchen with island, and updated bathrooms. Construction status is completed and the property is available for immediate transfer. Completion of the original build in 1989 is indicative.
The property has no private garden or private pool; outdoor swimming is via the communal pool. Parking is on-street rather than in a private garage or dedicated space. The plot size of 23 m² refers to the registered land footprint of the townhouse itself, meaning outdoor space is limited to terraces. No energy performance certificate details are recorded in the available data.

This property matches several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a holiday home within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and a supermarket will find the 400-metre coastal distance and 200-metre supermarket central to daily use. Households wanting space for family visits, four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an ensuite, can accommodate guests without converting living areas. Buyers focused on rental income can act on the existing tourist licence and the documented letting history the seller reports, noting that rental performance should be independently verified. Tennis and padel players benefit from Villa Padierna Racquet Club at approximately 300 metres, and golfers have three courses, El Coto de la Serena, Flamingos Golf, and El Paraíso, within about two kilometres. Families considering partial relocation should weigh the presence of six schools and an international school within roughly two kilometres. The property is less suitable for buyers who want a private pool, a private garden, or enclosed private parking, since the complex offers communal facilities and street parking only. It also does not suit those seeking a modern energy-certified new build; the construction dates from 1989, renovated since. Buyers intending full-time residence should consider that summer tourist activity in beachside areas increases footfall and traffic between June and September, while the winter months are considerably quieter.
The property was built in 1989 and has since undergone an extensive renovation, and the available imagery indicates the current standard. The open-plan living and kitchen area has a fireplace as a focal point, with the kitchen fitted out on modern lines: an island unit, integrated wine cooler, and fully fitted cabinetry. Bedrooms include wood-panelled finishes in at least one room, with direct balcony access and sea views from upper-floor rooms. One bathroom is configured as an ensuite to the principal bedroom. Climate control is provided by air conditioning, and the property is connected for WiFi. The seller describes the condition as excellent and recently renovated; structural aspects beyond this, roof condition, window glazing, insulation values, and electrical installation dates, are not documented in the available data and would be confirmed through a technical survey before purchase. No energy performance certificate rating is recorded. Two features warrant attention in the purchase assessment: first, parking is on the street, so there is no enclosed storage or garage for vehicles or bulky equipment; second, the registered plot of 23 m² reflects the townhouse footprint itself, meaning outdoor living happens on terraces and in the communal gardens rather than on private grounds. The communal pool and gardens are described as well maintained, with the community's service charges and reserve fund being part of the standard due diligence. Overall, the specification is consistent with a renovated 1980s townhouse brought up to a contemporary interior standard rather than a new-build specification.
The asking price is €750,000 for a completed, renovated resale townhouse of 186 m² with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. This works out at approximately €4,000 per m² of built area, which is consistent with beachside positions on the New Golden Mile where new-build comparables further from the shore start lower, for example Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, but offer neither a coastal setting nor a rental licence. The price reflects the renovation, the tourist licence, and the plot's position within a gated community. Availability is immediate as the build is completed.
Daily life at this address is organised around proximity to the coast. The beach and promenade are a short walk of roughly 400 metres, which makes morning and evening seaside walks a routine option rather than a planned excursion. A supermarket at approximately 200 metres and a pharmacy at under 600 metres cover most daily needs on foot, and around fifty restaurants and twenty-one cafés sit within a two-kilometre radius, with several beach bars closer to the shore. The house itself functions as a conventional townhouse: living space is spread over 186 m² with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, an open-plan living and kitchen area with fireplace, and south-facing terraces looking over the communal gardens towards the sea. The gated complex provides a communal pool, and Villa Padierna Racquet Club, with tennis and padel facilities, is adjacent at about 300 metres. Because the property carries a valid tourist rental licence, the same layout supports both owner occupation and short-term letting, though the two uses place different demands on furnishing and management. The area is residential rather than resort-like in character: it is busiest in summer, quieter in winter, and the 49,000-plus population of the wider municipality keeps local services open through the off-season. A car remains useful for larger shopping trips, school runs to the International School of Estepona 2.3 km away, or visits to Estepona and Marbella, but the immediate daily radius is largely manageable on foot or by bicycle.
The surrounding area combines coastal access with established residential infrastructure. Within a two-kilometre radius, the amenity count includes roughly 50 restaurants, 21 cafés, 18 pharmacies, 4 banks, 6 schools, and 2 parks, which indicates that daily life does not depend on leaving the neighbourhood. The beach and promenade are about 400 metres away on a gentle gradient of roughly 3%, so the walk to the shore is manageable on foot for most residents. Public transport is comparatively strong for a coastal location: eight bus lines serve the corridor with around 50 stops nearby, connecting the area towards Estepona, Marbella, and beyond, which reduces dependence on a car for some journeys. Healthcare is covered by a hospital 3.4 km away and multiple pharmacies within walking distance. The immediate setting is urban rather than rural: streets are residential, the community is gated, and the Villa Padierna Racquet Club next door adds a sporting hub at 300 metres. Seasonality shapes the rhythm, the area is lively in the summer months when tourists occupy the beachside restaurants and chiringuitos, and noticeably calmer from October to April, when the resident population dominates. For a household that values walkability, this combination of short distances and year-round open services is a defining characteristic of the location.
The map shows the property's beachside position between Estepona and Marbella on the New Golden Mile. The beach and promenade lie immediately south, golf courses cluster within two kilometres inland, and the coastal corridor connects eastwards towards Puerto Banús and Marbella.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Costalita occupies the beachside belt of the New Golden Mile, the stretch of coast between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara that functions as the western extension of the Marbella property market. Marbella (25 km, population 147,958) is the nearest major centre to the east; Estepona provides day-to-day urban services to the west; and Málaga (73 km, population 579,076) is the regional capital and main transport hub. Algeciras lies 42 km to the southwest. The position places the property closer to both the beach and the golf cluster than either town centre, at the cost of dependence on coastal-road travel for urban amenities.
Distances from the property are as follows: the nearest beaches, Playa del Sol Villacana and Playa del Saladillo, lie between roughly 400 and 430 metres away. Three golf courses sit within a two-to-two-and-a-half-kilometre radius, Club de Golf El Coto de la Serena at 1.9 km, Flamingos Golf at 1.9 km, and El Paraíso Golf Club at 2.2 km. Marbella is 25 km east, Estepona's La Rada beach area is close by to the west, and Málaga city lies 73 km away. Two airports serve the region: Gibraltar at approximately 36 km straight-line and Malaga-Costa del Sol at roughly 64 km straight-line, with driving distance to Málaga airport measured at 43 km via the coastal route in the supplied data. An electric vehicle Supercharger station is 0.9 km away. Puerto Banús marina is about 9.4 km along the coast for mooring, dining, and shopping. The International School of Estepona is 2.3 km from the property, and a hospital is 3.4 km away.

The location records approximately 3,848 sunshine hours per year historically, among the higher figures for southern Europe, and an average annual temperature of 18.1°C with typical ranges between 15°C and 25°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, extends to roughly four months, concentrated in the summer half-year, though sea bathing outside this window is a matter of personal tolerance. The property sits at low elevation, recorded figures range from 20 to 60 metres above sea level across the locality, which means no significant climbing on the approach routes. The slope towards the beach is approximately 3.3%, described as moderate, so the walk to the shore is essentially flat and suitable for most fitness levels. The coastal position moderates summer heat compared with inland Andalucía, and winter temperatures rarely reach the lows of the interior. Climate control in the property is handled by air conditioning, and the south orientation of the terraces aligns the principal outdoor spaces with maximum sun exposure. The nearby beaches and the green belt of golf courses towards the hills provide the main natural setting; there are two parks within the two-kilometre amenity radius for everyday green space.

The coastline nearest the property includes Playa del Sol Villacana at roughly 400 metres and Playa del Saladillo at approximately 420–430 metres, both walkable within minutes, plus Playa de Guadalmansa about 600 metres along the shore. These are Mediterranean town beaches backed by a promenade and seasonal beach bars. The wider Estepona coastline, including La Rada, adds further options within a short drive. Golf is a central recreational feature of the area: three courses, El Coto de la Serena, Flamingos, and El Paraíso, fall within about two kilometres, with Tramores Golf slightly further at 2.4 km, giving residents multiple membership and pay-and-play options. Racquet sports are particularly well served: Villa Padierna Racquet Club adjoins the complex at roughly 300 metres, and additional tennis and padel venues (Club de Tenis at 1.6 km, RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club at 2.1 km) are nearby. For water-based recreation beyond swimming, Puerto Banús marina at 9.4 km offers berths, charters, and waterfront dining. The communal pool within the gated complex provides an alternative to the beach during the shoulder months when sea temperatures drop.

Within the western Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a specific niche that the nearby new-build comparables do not. Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) all represent newer construction at lower entry prices, but each is set inland or in separate sub-markets rather than in a beachside position; the €750,000 asking price here, roughly €4,000 per m² of built area, reflects the coastal proximity, the renovation standard, and the tourist rental licence rather than new-build specification. Against other New Golden Mile stock, the property competes with townhouses in Atalaya, Isdabe, and Costalita communities, where beachside units with licences command a premium over urbanisation properties on the inland side of the A-7 coast road. Buyers weighing the alternatives should note three structural differences: first, 1989 construction carries different insulation, glazing, and maintenance profiles than post-2020 builds, even after renovation; second, street parking contrasts with the underground garages standard in new developments; third, the communal pool and gardens replace the private pools typical of detached villas at higher price points in the same corridor, which start materially above this budget nearer the sea at Guadalmansa and El Paraíso beaches. The wider region supports the location's fundamentals: Marbella at 25 km and Estepona town provide employment, healthcare, and retail; the golf cluster between Atalaya and Flamingos sustains year-round visitor demand relevant to letting; and dual airport access via Gibraltar (36 km) and Málaga (64 km straight-line) widens the rental catchment. Compared with Torre del Mar and Mijas, both further from the Marbella gravity field, this stretch of coast trades lower entry prices for proximity to the highest-value micro-markets on the Costa del Sol.
