Built in 1970 and offered fully furnished, it carries a fixed asking price of €185,900. The urbanisation includes a communal swimming pool and gated parking, with the nearest beach, Playa Cala La Mosca, approximately 300 metres away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Playa Flamenca lies on the southern Costa Blanca, within the Orihuela Costa stretch of coastline. The bungalow sits in a residential urbanisation with the beach at Playa Cala La Mosca about 300 metres away in a straight line, and further coves such as Cala Mosca and Playa Cala Estaca within one kilometre. The area is served by nine public transport lines and around fifty stops.
The home is arranged as a ground floor bungalow with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, suited to year-round living or holiday use. Functional spaces include a fully equipped kitchen, a utility room, a storage room and a basement. Air conditioning and a ceiling fan provide climate control, while the roughly 60 m² terrace and private garden extend the living space outdoors. Parking is available in a garage within the complex.
This is not a new-build development. The property dates from 1970 and is offered key-ready and fully furnished, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. Completion dates and phased delivery schedules do not apply here; the transaction concerns an existing home on the resale market, transferred in its current condition.
The property offers 74 m² of living space, which is compact for a three-bedroom home, and one bedroom could not be photographed at the time of the listing. It is a ground floor unit within a shared urbanisation, so outdoor space consists of a private terrace and garden alongside communal facilities. There is no private swimming pool. Documentation of the exact renovation history of the 1970 construction is not provided in the listing data.
This property fits a buyer seeking an affordable, move-in-ready home near the beach on the southern Costa Blanca, where modern new-build construction is either unavailable at this price point or carries a waiting period. Because it is fully furnished and key-ready, it can serve as a holiday home usable within weeks of purchase, or as a rental investment in an area with established seasonal demand. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout makes it workable for a small family or for couples who regularly host guests, while the ground floor position and private garden suit buyers who prefer to avoid stairs and want direct access to outdoor space. It is less suited to buyers looking for a contemporary new-build with modern energy performance, a private pool or a larger living area. The 74 m² interior is compact for three bedrooms, and the 1970 construction means the buyer should expect a property with the character and limitations of its era rather than current-day building standards. Buyers prioritising space over proximity to the sea, or wanting a gated resort-style development, may find the comparable new-build projects in Torrevieja or El Raso more aligned with their requirements.
The bungalow dates from 1970 and is presented in good overall condition according to the listing, but the level of finishing should be assessed as that of a maintained resale property rather than new construction. Interior photographs show bedrooms with curtains, a ceiling fan, a desk and television points, and a bathroom with a shower and curtain, indicating a functional, lived-in standard of finish rather than a recently renovated one. Climate control consists of air conditioning units supplemented by a ceiling fan in at least one bedroom, which is relevant given summer temperatures that average around 26°C monthly. The kitchen is described as fully equipped. The utility room, storage room and basement provide practical storage, though the basement in its current state is used as a general storage area and appears cluttered in photographs, so its condition and usability should be verified during a viewing. The property is sold fully furnished, which reduces initial setup costs for a second home or rental use, but also means the buyer acquires existing furniture whose age and condition vary. One bedroom could not be photographed at the time of the listing visit; it can be inspected in person. Buyers should treat a technical survey as a standard step, particularly for a building of this age, to assess electrical installations, plumbing, damp and the overall structural state.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €185,900 as an existing, key-ready home. This price reflects a resale unit from 1970, fully furnished, with a private terrace of roughly 60 m², a private garden, a garage space, access to a communal pool and air conditioning. For comparison, new-build apartments in nearby Torrevieja currently start from approximately €160,000 to €169,000, while new-build units in Urbanización El Raso start from around €227,000. Availability is immediate, as the home is completed and ready to move into; no delivery dates or construction phases apply.
Daily life at this property revolves around a ground floor layout that connects the interior directly to its private outdoor space. The living and dining area opens onto the terrace of approximately 60 m², which functions as an outdoor room for much of the year given the local climate, with an average annual temperature of 18.9°C. The presence of a barbecue point on the terrace supports outdoor dining, a common feature of Mediterranean coastal living. The layout places three bedrooms and two bathrooms within 74 m², with the kitchen fully equipped and a utility room and storage room handling practical household tasks. A basement adds additional storage capacity, though photographic records show it currently used as a general storage area with clutter present. The rhythm of the neighbourhood is typical of Orihuela Costa residential zones: a mixture of permanent residents and seasonal visitors. Within two kilometres there are 52 restaurants, 17 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 7 banks and 4 dentists, so daily errands can largely be handled on foot or by short drive. The Saturday-style street market at Playa Flamenca sells clothing, footwear, accessories and fresh produce, adding a weekly fixture to local life. Outside the summer months the area becomes noticeably quieter, which affects both the atmosphere and the opening hours of some businesses.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with a dense amenity base. Within a two-kilometre radius, residents have access to 52 restaurants, 17 cafés, 5 pharmacies, 7 banks and 4 dentists, which covers most daily needs without needing to travel far. The La Zenia Boulevard shopping centre lies a short drive away, and an EV charging station operated by Ionity is located 1.8 km away at La Zenia, with further chargers at 3.4 km and 3.7 km. The coastal position defines the area's leisure pattern. Playa Cala La Mosca is approximately 300 metres away as the crow flies, with Cala Mosca at 600 metres and Playa Cala Estaca at 900 metres, giving a choice of coves within walking distance for most reasonably mobile residents. The gradient from the urbanisation to the beach is measured at about 4%, which most people would describe as moderate, noticeable when walking back but not a steep climb. Public transport comprises 9 lines with around 50 stops in the area, which is substantial for a settlement of this size and makes car-free living partially feasible, though a car remains practical for golf, larger shopping trips and airport transfers. The area sits at 28 metres above sea level, so terrain within the neighbourhood is essentially flat.
The map shows the property's position in Playa Flamenca relative to the string of coves to the east, Torrevieja four kilometres north, and the golf courses of Villamartín and Campoamor inland. Note that the distances shown are straight-line measurements; actual road distances and travel times by car will be somewhat longer.

Playa Flamenca occupies a position on the Orihuela Costa, the southernmost coastal stretch of Alicante province, four kilometres south of Torrevieja and close to the boundary with Murcia region. This places it between the two provincial urban networks: the Alicante, Elche corridor to the north and the Murcia, Cartagena axis to the south and west. Within the Costa Blanca's residential market, the area is known for value-oriented coastal property with strong international ownership, and it sits closer to Murcia's Corvera-bound influence than most of the Costa del Sol, from which it is separated by more than 350 km.
Accessibility is anchored by Alicante-Elche Airport, approximately 41 km away in a straight line, which handles most international flights to this part of the coast; the drive typically takes around 35 to 40 minutes by car. Valencia Airport lies roughly 174 km away and Málaga-Costa del Sol around 362 km, both realistic only for specific routes. Regionally, Murcia (36 km, around 463,000 inhabitants), Elche (37 km, around 235,000 inhabitants) and Cartagena (43 km, around 219,000 inhabitants) form the larger urban centres within reach, useful for specialist services, hospitals and broader shopping. Torrevieja, the nearest sizeable town, lies about four kilometres to the north. For recreation, three golf courses sit within about five kilometres: Club de Golf Villamartín (3.3 km), Real Club de Golf Campoamor (5.1 km) and Club de Golf Las Ramblas de Orihuela (5.1 km). Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (4.8 km) and Real Club Náutico (5.4 km), serve boating interests. All distances are straight-line; actual road distances and travel times will be somewhat longer.

The climate at Playa Flamenca is typical of the southern Costa Blanca: average monthly temperatures range from about 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.9°C. Winters are mild enough for year-round occupation, which the presence of air conditioning and the ceiling fan addresses from opposite ends of the seasonal range. The swimming season extends to roughly five months in which sea temperatures reach at least 20°C, running approximately from late May into October. Rainfall is low by European standards, and the elevation of just 28 metres above sea level means the terrain is flat, with the 4% gradient to the beach the only meaningful slope in the immediate surroundings. The natural setting is coastal rather than green or mountainous: the landscape consists of urbanised coastline interspersed with rocky coves such as Cala La Mosca and Cala Estaca. For broader nature excursions, the inland areas behind Orihuela and the salt lagoons near Torrevieja are within a short drive.

The beaches closest to the property are a chain of small coves. Playa Cala La Mosca lies approximately 300 metres away as the crow flies, with Cala Mosca at 600 metres and Playa Cala Estaca at 900 metres, so beach access on foot is a defining feature of this location. These are compact Mediterranean coves rather than long sandy stretches. Golf is well represented nearby: Club de Golf Villamartín is 3.3 km away, while Real Club de Golf Campoamor and Club de Golf Las Ramblas de Orihuela both sit at 5.1 km, giving three courses within a ten-minute drive. For fitness, a sports centre is located 2.6 km from the property. Waterfront recreation includes two marinas, Puerto Deportivo Miguel Caballero (4.8 km) and Real Club Náutico (5.4 km), catering to sailing and water sports. Within the urbanisation itself, the communal swimming pool provides an alternative to the beach, particularly useful in the shoulder months when sea temperatures drop below 20°C but air temperatures remain pleasant.

At €185,900 for a key-ready three-bedroom bungalow with outdoor space, this property sits in the middle of the local price band. Comparable new-build offerings in Torrevieja, Apartments Palangre Beach from €160,000 and Edificio Sun & Center from €169,000, come in below this price, though those are apartment developments where the entry price typically covers smaller units without a private garden or 60 m² terrace. At the upper end, Oasis Laguna 2 Fase II in Urbanización El Raso starts from €227,000, reflecting newer construction and a more resort-style setting inland from the coast. The trade-off is essentially age versus space and location. A new-build apartment at €160,000–€170,000 offers modern construction standards, current energy performance and developer warranties, but usually in a vertical building with a balcony rather than a ground floor garden. This 1970 bungalow offers direct outdoor living, a larger usable footprint including terrace and basement, and an immediate beach proximity of roughly 300 metres to the nearest cove, at the cost of fifty-plus-year-old building stock whose condition should be professionally surveyed. Within Orihuela Costa more broadly, Playa Flamenca is regarded as a practical, amenity-rich district: the density of restaurants, pharmacies and banks within two kilometres exceeds that of quieter residential zones such as El Raso, and the street market adds a weekly local routine. The proximity to Torrevieja (4 km) and the concentration of golf courses within five kilometres position it as a convenience-led location rather than an exclusive or secluded one, a distinction that matters more to some buyers than the headline price. For renters and holiday lettings, walkable beach access and year-round services support occupancy across seasons, whereas more remote developments depend more heavily on summer demand.
