This key-ready townhouse is located in the Guadalvillas development in San Pedro de Alcántara, part of the municipality of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property offers five bedrooms, five bathrooms and 271 m² of living space on a 75 m² plot, with a south-facing rooftop terrace of 84 m². A gated pathway within the community leads to Playa de San Pedro, approximately 100 metres from the garden. Built in 1990, the house requires a complete renovation. The asking price is €950,000 as a fixed amount for the existing home.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in the beachside phase of Guadalvillas, a short distance from the beachfront restaurants Macaao Beach and El Ancla. San Pedro de Alcántara lies about 10 km from central Marbella as the crow flies. Within 2 km there are 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies and 11 banks. Puerto Deportivo José Banús is 3.4 km away in a straight line.
With five bedrooms and five bathrooms across three levels, the house suits a household needing several independent bedrooms. The ground floor currently holds a bedroom with en-suite bathroom, kitchen, living room, guest toilet and a covered pergola. The first floor contains a master suite, three further bedrooms and two bathrooms. A private covered parking space and communal pool are included.
This is not a new-build project. The house was completed in 1990 and is key-ready in the sense that it can be transferred immediately, but the listing states explicitly that a complete renovation is required. Any modernisation, layout changes and delivery timelines are the buyer's responsibility and fall outside the seller's scope.
The property does not offer a private pool; only a communal pool is available. The plot is 75 m², so outdoor space relies on the garden, pergola and rooftop terrace rather than extensive grounds. Renovation costs are not included in the asking price. No private garage beyond one covered parking space is listed. Sea views from the rooftop are partial, not full.
This property fits a buyer who wants maximum space within walking distance of the beach in an established coastal town, and who is prepared to carry out a full renovation. Households that need five bedrooms and five bathrooms, for example a large family, a multigenerational arrangement, or a buyer planning regular guest use, will find the room count here that most beachside apartments cannot offer. It also suits someone who wants to impose their own layout and finish: because the house needs complete modernisation, the open-plan ground floor described in the listing, the kitchen position and the bathroom arrangements can all be decided during the works rather than accepted as delivered. A buyer who wants to move in without works should look elsewhere; the 1990 construction date and the stated condition make renovation unavoidable. The property is less suitable for someone seeking a private pool or a large garden plot, the plot is 75 m² and pool access is communal. It is equally less relevant for investors seeking a rent-ready unit, since rental income starts only after completion of works. What the address does deliver is position: the beachside phase of Guadalvillas, a gated path to the sand, walking distance to restaurants and services, and south-facing outdoor space on the rooftop terrace. Buyers comparing this with new-build alternatives should weigh the fixed €950,000 asking price plus renovation budget against turnkey products further from the sea.
The house dates from 1990 and is documented as requiring a complete renovation, so the current finishing level should be assessed as a starting point rather than a delivered standard. The existing layout already includes en-suite bathrooms on both the ground and first floors, a guest toilet, an extended pergola area and a covered parking space, which gives a workable structure for a modernisation project. The kitchen shown in the photography contains appliances, and the bedrooms include balcony access on at least one room, but no warranty should be assumed on existing installations, fittings or systems. Buyers should treat the purchase as a shell-plus-structure transaction: plumbing, electrics, insulation, windows and climate systems will typically need replacement or certification as part of the works. The structural assets that are documented are the generous proportions, 271 m² of living area on three levels, and the outdoor spaces: a private garden, a covered porch and an 84 m² south-facing rooftop terrace. The terrace orientation means sun exposure throughout the day, which affects both usability and the renovation planning for shading and outdoor kitchen options. Because the property sits in a community (Guadalvillas), communal elements such as the pool and the gated pathway to the beach are maintained collectively; the applicable community fees should be verified during due diligence. A technical survey is a standard step for a property of this age before any offer is finalised.
The asking price is a fixed €950,000 for this existing home; it is not a from-price and there is no price list with unit variations. The house is available for transfer as a key-ready property, although the condition is recorded as requiring complete renovation, so buyers should budget separately for works. For context, new-build comparables elsewhere on the coast are quoted from €205,000 in Mijas, from €269,950 in Torre del Mar and from €321,000 in Estepona; those are different products in different locations and at much smaller scales. Housing transactions in the local area run at roughly 4,743 per year, indicating an active resale market.
Daily life at this address is organised around proximity to the sea. A gated community path leads from the garden to Playa de San Pedro in under 100 metres, which places the beach within a short walk rather than a drive. The surrounding area within 2 km contains a wide practical base: 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies, 11 banks and a school, meaning most daily errands can be done on foot or by a short trip into the centre of San Pedro. The town itself forms part of Marbella municipality and functions year-round, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area and five health centres, so the neighbourhood does not empty out outside the summer months. The house is arranged over three levels. The ground floor works for daytime living, with a kitchen, living room, guest toilet and an extended pergola that connects to the private garden; there is also a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite bathroom, which can serve guests or household members who avoid stairs. The first floor carries the sleeping quarters, with a master suite and three additional bedrooms sharing two bathrooms. The 84 m² rooftop terrace faces due south and receives sun throughout the day, with partial sea views and open views towards La Concha and the mountains towards Ronda. Because the property needs renovation, the future layout is open to interpretation: the listing suggests the kitchen, living room, covered porch and garden could be merged into an open-plan arrangement. A car is useful for regional trips, although ten public transport lines with 50 stops serve the local area.
San Pedro de Alcántara is a functioning town within Marbella municipality, not a seasonal resort enclave. Within 2 km of the property, the documented amenities include 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies, 11 banks and a school; the wider area counts 41 primary schools, 28 secondary schools and five health centres. This density of everyday services means groceries, medical visits and school runs do not depend on the summer season. The beachside position defines the daily rhythm: Playa de San Pedro is 1.6 km away as the crow flies, with the community path reaching the sand in under 100 metres from the garden, and the dog-friendly Playa Canina Ventura del Mar 1.9 km away. For sports, three facilities sit within 1.1 km: Rocodromo at 0.7 km, Apolo at 1.0 km and Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.1 km. Golfers have Magna Marbella Golf at 2.3 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.8 km and El Higueral Golf at 3.2 km, all measured in a straight line. Public transport consists of ten lines with 50 stops, which covers local movement, though a car remains practical for Marbella, Estepona or airport trips.
The map shows the Guadalvillas area on the beachside of San Pedro de Alcántara. Notable points include Playa de San Pedro at 1.6 km straight-line, Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 3.4 km, three golf courses within 3.2 km, and Marbella centre 10 km to the east. Straight-line distances may translate into longer road routes.

San Pedro de Alcántara occupies a position between Marbella centre (10 km straight-line) and Estepona, along the western Costa del Sol. The town falls under Marbella municipality, which has roughly 147,958 inhabitants, and the wider provincial capital Málaga lies about 57 km away with 579,076 inhabitants. Puerto Banús, 3.4 km distant, anchors the immediate luxury segment of the coast. This places the property in one of the more established and service-rich stretches of the Costa del Sol, with both Marbella and Estepona reachable for work, shopping and healthcare.
Distances below are straight-line unless stated otherwise. The nearest beach, Playa de San Pedro, lies 1.6 km away, with the community's gated pathway reaching the sand in under 100 metres on foot. Playa Atalaya is 3.5 km away. Marbella centre is 10 km away, Puerto Deportivo José Banús 3.4 km, and the Marbella marina 9.2 km.

San Pedro de Alcántara sits at 53 metres above sea level with a moderate gradient of roughly 3.3% down towards the beach, which makes the walk to the sea manageable without steep climbs. The average annual temperature is 19.0°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season extends over about five months, during which sea temperatures hold at or above 20°C. This combination, mild winters, warm summers and a five-month sea season, supports year-round residential use rather than purely seasonal occupation. The natural backdrop is twofold: the Mediterranean coastline immediately west and south, and the Sierra Blanca mountain range inland, visible from the rooftop terrace, including La Concha and the ridge running towards Ronda. Two viewpoints are documented nearby: Mirador del Muelle de Honor at 3.3 km and Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 4.9 km, both offering walks beyond the town itself.

Within the western Costa del Sol, this property competes on position rather than on new-build specification. The three comparable projects listed, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), are new-build developments located further east and west along the coast, at significantly lower entry prices. The comparison is therefore not like-for-like: those projects deliver turnkey finishes and developer warranties but smaller units and, in each case, locations further from the Marbella, Puerto Banús core. This townhouse, by contrast, offers 271 m² of living space with five bedrooms and five bathrooms, roughly three times the floor area typical of entry-level new-build apartments, plus a private garden and an 84 m² rooftop terrace. What the buyer pays for with the fixed €950,000 asking price is land value and proximity: a gated path to the beach under 100 metres from the garden, walking distance to San Pedro's services, and Puerto Banús at 3.4 km straight-line. The trade-off is condition. A complete renovation of a 1990 townhouse of this size represents a substantial additional budget and months of works before occupation, and the final cost per square metre depends heavily on the chosen finish level. The local resale market is active, roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year in the area, which supports liquidity for renovated properties in beachside positions. Median provincial income of €16,450 per year contextualises the price level: this segment of the market is driven by international and second-home demand rather than local purchasing power. Buyers weighing this house against new-build alternatives should compare the total figure, purchase price plus renovation, against turnkey delivery, and weigh the value they place on being within a two-minute walk of the sand in an established town.
