This ground-floor bungalow is located in Gran Alacant, a residential area on the Costa Blanca just south of Alicante city. The property offers two bedrooms, one bathroom and 100 m² of living space, with a private garden, off-road parking, a large storage room and a separate utility room. Built in 1970 and offered key-ready and fully furnished, it carries a fixed asking price of €199,900. The nearest beach, Platja dels Arenals del Sol, lies approximately 1.3 km away as the crow flies, and Alicante-Elche airport is roughly 4 km in a straight line. A communal swimming pool forms part of the complex.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Gran Alacant sits between Alicante city and Santa Pola, on a low coastal plateau about 7 metres above sea level with a flat gradient towards the sea. Platja dels Arenals del Sol is 1.3 km away in a straight line, with Platja de l'Altet at 1.8 km. Alicante-Elche airport lies roughly 4 km away, and Alicante city is a short drive along the coastal road.
The property combines 100 m² of indoor space with a private garden and covered patio, oriented towards outdoor living. Two bedrooms and one bathroom suit singles, couples or small families. Practical extras include off-road parking, a large storage room, a separate utility room and access to a communal swimming pool within the complex.
This is an existing home, completed in 1970, and available immediately in key-ready condition. It is sold fully furnished. No construction phases or future delivery dates apply; the purchase process concerns a resale property, meaning the standard Spanish resale procedure with a notary transfer applies rather than off-plan payments.
The property has a single bathroom and two bedrooms, which limits its suitability for larger households. It dates from 1970, so buyers should anticipate the construction standards of that era and budget for possible modernisation. There is one private parking space, not a garage, and no private pool; the pool is communal. No lift, sea view or underfloor features are listed.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a low-maintenance coastal base within walking distance of the sea will find the ground-floor layout, private garden and communal pool a practical combination. Buyers who want to avoid off-plan risk and construction timelines benefit from the key-ready, fully furnished condition: completion can follow within weeks of a notary appointment. It also suits buyers with a budget ceiling around €200,000 who prioritise outdoor space and location over interior surface, 100 m² plus garden at this price is uncommon in the immediate coastal zone. Frequent flyers and international owners may value the 4 km straight-line distance to Alicante-Elche airport, which makes short stays and weekend visits easier to organise. Buyers for whom this is less obvious a match include larger families needing a second bathroom, and those expecting contemporary construction standards; a 1970 build will typically need updating of kitchen, bathroom or electrics at some point, and this should be budgeted for. Anyone seeking a quiet rural setting should also note the airport proximity and the summer influx of holiday visitors. As a rental investment, the location near the beach supports seasonal letting, though the local market for older bungalows competes with newer apartment developments along the coast.
The bungalow was built in 1970 and is sold fully furnished, which means the new owner can move in or let it out immediately. The interior offers 100 m² across two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living area and a kitchen, with a separate utility room and a large storage room, a layout typical of Spanish bungalow construction of that period, which generally favoured solid masonry walls and generous room proportions over compact modern footprints. Buyers should view the property with the age of the building in mind. Original 1970s installations, wiring, plumbing, windows and the bathroom, may have been partially or fully replaced, but this should be verified during a viewing and, where relevant, in the technical inspection. Modernisation of a kitchen or bathroom in a property of this size is a manageable project and is commonly factored into the purchase budget. The outdoor areas are a defining feature: a covered patio with space for a dining table, a private garden laid partly to lawn, and off-road parking. The communal swimming pool is maintained collectively, which shifts the maintenance responsibility for that facility to the community. Storage space is above average for the segment, with both a dedicated storage room and a separate utility room, useful for beach equipment, bicycles or laundry appliances. No energy performance details are available in the provided data, so buyers should request this documentation from the seller during the process.
The asking price is fixed at €199,900 for this 100 m², two-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow with private garden, off-road parking, storage and utility rooms, sold fully furnished. This works out at roughly €2,000 per m² of built area. Compared with nearby new-build options, apartments in Torrevieja from €160,000–€169,000 and bungalows in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000, the price reflects the property's age (1970), its single bathroom and its established location near the beach and airport. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready and requires no waiting period for construction.
Gran Alacant is an established residential area popular with both international owners and Spanish families, located on the coast between Alicante city and Santa Pola. Daily life here is organised around the beaches of Arenals del Sol, El Altet and Carabassí, all within about 2.5 km straight-line distance, and a modest local commercial centre with supermarkets, cafés and restaurants. The data shows 16 restaurants and a pharmacy within 2 km, which covers most everyday needs without leaving the area. This particular bungalow is a ground-floor unit with direct access to its own outdoor space. The covered patio with table and chairs functions as an extension of the living area for most of the year, and the private garden gives room for planting, drying laundry or simply sitting outside in the evening. The communal pool nearby covers the swimming need without private maintenance responsibility. The rhythm of the area is seasonal. In summer, the population swells with holiday visitors and the beaches fill; outside the main season, Gran Alacant becomes considerably quieter, with a core of permanent residents keeping a handful of local businesses open year-round. The flat terrain, at just 7 metres elevation with a 0.2% gradient to the sea, means everything is walkable or cyclable, including the route down to the sand at Arenals del Sol. For owners who travel frequently, the proximity of Alicante-Elche airport, roughly 4 km as the crow flies, shortens arrival and departure days considerably, though it also places some flight paths over the wider area. Alicante city, about 15 minutes away by car, supplies the larger cultural, shopping and services offer that a town of this size cannot.
Life in Gran Alacant is shaped by its position on a flat coastal plateau between two larger towns. Alicante city is around 15 minutes away by car, offering the full urban programme of a provincial capital: department stores, hospitals, universities, museums and an old quarter. Santa Pola, with its marina at 7.4 km straight-line, is a working fishing port with a daily fish market and ferry connections to Tabarca island. Closer to home, the area has 43 public transport stops across 13 lines, an unusually dense network for a settlement of this size, connecting Gran Alacant with Arenals del Sol, the airport area and Alicante city. Torrellano railway station, 6.2 km away in a straight line, provides access to the regional train network. In practice, most residents use a car for larger shopping trips, while daily errands, a pharmacy, 16 restaurants and local shops within 2 km, are manageable on foot or by bicycle given the flat terrain. The elevation of 7 metres and the 0.2% gradient mean no hills stand between the property and the sea; the walk to Platja dels Arenals del Sol covers 1.3 km as the crow flies. The viewpoints at Mirador 2C (0.9 km) and the Carabassí beach area offer nearby walking routes along the dunes and pine groves that characterise this stretch of coast.
The map shows the property's position on the flat coastal plateau of Gran Alacant, with Arenals del Sol beach 1.3 km to the east, the airport 4 km to the north and Santa Pola's marina 7.4 km to the south. Distances shown are straight-line; actual road routes are longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Gran Alacant occupies a strategic position on the southern Costa Blanca, roughly halfway between Alicante city and Santa Pola and immediately south of Alicante-Elche airport. This places it closer to a major international airport than almost any other residential beach area on the coast, while keeping the beaches of Arenals del Sol, El Altet and Carabassí within walking and cycling distance. Compared with the dense apartment zones of Torrevieja further south, the area has a lower-rise, more residential character, with a mix of bungalows, villas and small apartment blocks set among pine groves and dunes. The region benefits from around 3,000 sunshine hours a year and a five-month swimming season, placing it firmly within the Mediterranean coastal belt that attracts year-round residents as well as summer visitors.
The property's accessibility profile is one of its strongest features. Alicante-Elche airport (ALC) lies approximately 4 km away in a straight line, one of the closest residential areas to the airport on the whole Costa Blanca, which reduces transfer times on arrival days, though some aircraft noise should be expected depending on wind direction and runway use. Alicante city centre is roughly a 15-minute drive. Beaches are within easy reach: Platja dels Arenals del Sol at 1.3 km, Platja de l'Altet at 1.8 km and Platja del Carabassí at 2.5 km, all straight-line distances. Golfers can reach Club de Golf El Plantío at 6.6 km, and the marina of Santa Pola at 7.4 km. Sports facilities include Poliesportiu Javi Ródenas Blasco (2.5 km) and the municipal sports centre of Gran Alacant (3.5 km); a public swimming pool, Piscina Novamar 4, sits 1.6 km away. Public transport is well developed for the area, with 13 lines and 43 stops serving Gran Alacant and its surroundings. The nearest railway station, Torrellano, is 6.2 km away as the crow flies. A car remains convenient for regional travel, but daily life around the property itself is largely walkable thanks to the flat terrain.

Gran Alacant lies at 7 metres above sea level on flat terrain, with a gradient of just 0.2% towards the coast. The climate is typical of the southern Costa Blanca: average monthly temperatures range from about 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.7°C. Winters are mild enough for year-round terrace use, while summer heat is moderated by the sea breeze. The swimming season runs for approximately five months, during which sea temperatures stay at or above 20°C, realistically from late May into October. Rainfall is limited and concentrated outside the summer months, giving the region its characteristically high number of usable outdoor days. The natural surroundings include the dune systems and pine groves behind the beaches of Carabassí and Arenals del Sol, which provide shaded walking and cycling routes. The viewpoint at Mirador 2C, less than a kilometre away, offers an elevated outlook over the coastline, a notable feature on an otherwise flat landscape. The Tabarca island marine reserve is reachable by ferry from Santa Pola for day trips.

Three beaches lie within 2.5 km of the property. Platja dels Arenals del Sol (1.3 km) is the closest: a broad sandy beach backed by a promenade with restaurants, busy in summer and quiet outside it. Platja de l'Altet (1.8 km) and Platja del Carabassí (2.5 km) are wilder in character, bordered by dunes and pine trees rather than dense development, and Carabassí in particular is known for its natural setting and clearer water. For sport, two facilities are within 3.5 km: Poliesportiu Javi Ródenas Blasco and the municipal sports centre José Antonio Alemañ Valero. A public swimming pool sits 1.6 km away, complementing the communal pool in the bungalow's own complex. Golfers have Club de Golf El Plantío at 6.6 km, an 18-hole course near Elche. The marina at Port de Santa Pola, 7.4 km in a straight line, handles leisure boats and the ferries to Tabarca island, a former pirate stronghold turned marine reserve with snorkelling and seafood restaurants. Walking routes start almost at the door: the flat coastal path towards Arenals and the dunes of Carabassí suit both short strolls and longer hikes, and the Mirador 2C viewpoint at 0.9 km gives a panorama over the bay.

Within the wider Alicante, Costa Blanca market, this bungalow occupies the affordable end of the second-hand segment. The fixed asking price of €199,900 for 100 m², roughly €2,000 per m², sits between the new-build apartments in Torrevieja (Palangre Beach from €160,000; Sun & Center from €169,000) and the newer bungalow developments in Urbanización El Raso (Oasis Laguna 2, Phase II from €227,000). The comparison illustrates the trade-off clearly: new-build buyers at the lower price points receive smaller, contemporary apartments, while this property offers more built area and a private garden in an established setting, but with 1970s construction. Location-wise, Gran Alacant differs from Torrevieja in character. Torrevieja is a dense, high-rise, fully urban resort city with a large permanent population and year-round commercial activity; Gran Alacant is lower-rise and more residential, with the beaches of Arenals del Sol and Carabassí and the dune and pine landscape between them. El Raso, near Guardamar, is comparable in residential feel but lies further from a major airport; Gran Alacant's 4 km straight-line distance to Alicante-Elche is exceptional for a beachside location and explains its popularity with frequent travellers and short-stay owners. For buyers weighing the options, the decision typically comes down to construction age against space and location. Newer developments offer modern insulation, contemporary layouts and warranties; this property offers a larger footprint, outdoor space and immediate availability. The rental market in the area is seasonal, strongest between May and October, and both old and new stock competes for the same summer demand, with proximity to the beach as the main differentiator.
