This two-storey semi-detached duplex is located in a residential complex in Vera Playa, on the coast of Almería, approximately 300 metres from the beach as the crow flies. The property offers 103 m² of living space with three bedrooms, two bathrooms with shower trays, a private garden of roughly 30 m², private terraces and a versatile rooftop room. Built in 1970 and now key-ready, it is sold fully furnished with ducted air conditioning and heating throughout. The complex includes three communal swimming pools, one of which stays open all year. The asking price is fixed at €249,000.
Within eastern Almería, Vera Playa competes primarily with the nearby coastal settlements of Mojácar Playa, Garrucha and Los Mateos. Compared with Mojácar Playa, which has a larger hotel and apartment stock and a livelier summer rhythm, Vera Playa is generally quieter and more residential in character, which reflects in both the atmosphere and typical price levels. Garrucha offers a traditional fishing-town centre with a seafront promenade, but properties there tend to sit in denser urban blocks rather than in low-rise complexes with communal pools of the kind this property occupies. At €249,000 for a furnished, three-bedroom semi-detached home with a private garden roughly 300 metres from the beach, the property sits in the accessible middle segment of the local market, below the villas of the Mojácar hillside and above small studio and one-bedroom apartments. Set against the Costa del Sol further west, the advantages of this location are price and space per euro, lower building density and a drier climate; the trade-offs are fewer international services, a shorter high season and less developed transport connections. The 1970 construction year places the property in an older segment than the new-build developments common on the Costa del Sol, meaning buyers exchange modern specification and warranties for location, outdoor space and immediate availability. Community fees of €73.00 per month are modest for a complex with three pools, which is a relevant cost factor when comparing with newer developments where fees often run substantially higher. Buyers comparing regions should also note that Almería's coast has seen slower price growth than Málaga province in recent years, which matters differently for end users and investors.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in a residential complex in Vera Playa, a coastal area in the province of Almería. The beach lies roughly 300 metres away, and shops, supermarkets and restaurants are reachable on foot according to the listing data. A car journey of about one minute covers the beach and local shopping facilities, which means most daily errands do not require driving.
The home offers three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a living area of 103 m² across two floors, and a rooftop room that can serve as a guest space, office or hobby room. Both main bedrooms have direct terrace access. The roughly 30 m² private garden allows outdoor dining and relaxation, while ducted climate control provides year-round indoor comfort.
This is not a new-build project. The house was completed in 1970 and is offered as an existing, key-ready home. The buyer takes over a furnished property with functioning air conditioning and heating, which means occupation is possible directly after completion of the purchase process, subject to the usual administrative steps.
The property is a semi-detached duplex from 1970, so it does not offer the specification, insulation standards or guarantees of modern new construction. There is no private pool; swimming is only possible in the complex's communal pools. No garage, parking space, storage room or plot details are listed in the available data, and the living area of 103 m² is modest for a three-bedroom home.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a low-maintenance holiday home near the sea will find the 300-metre beach distance and walkable amenities directly relevant, and the furnished condition removes the need to equip the house before first use. Permanent residents benefit from the year-round open communal pool, ducted heating for the cooler months and the walking-distance shops. Households that occasionally receive guests can use the rooftop room as a spare bedroom while keeping the two main bedrooms with terraces for daily use. Buyers who work remotely may value the same rooftop room as an office, combined with the walking-distance errands that break up a working day. The property is less obvious for buyers who want a private pool, a large garden, a garage or the energy performance and finishes of new construction; none of these are offered here. It also suits buyers with a budget around a quarter of a million euros who prioritise location and move-in readiness over square metres, since 103 m² across three bedrooms is compact by modern standards. Finally, investors considering rental use should note the furnished condition, the communal facilities and the proximity to the beach, while verifying local rental regulations themselves.
The house dates from 1970 and has been fitted out as a furnished, ready-to-occupy home. The two bathrooms are equipped with shower trays, and built-in wardrobes provide storage in the bedrooms, a practical feature in a house of this size. Ducted air conditioning and heating run throughout the property, which regulates the indoor climate in both the hot Almería summer and the cooler winter months and avoids the need for standalone units in each room. The property is connected to mains water and mains electricity, which simplifies utility administration compared with properties that rely on wells or tanks. Both principal bedrooms have direct access to private terraces, and the listing photographs show finished bedrooms with beds and nightstands and a bathroom with a shower, washbasin and mirror, consistent with a furnished, key-ready state. The rooftop room is a finished additional space rather than a bare storage loft, according to the description. The private garden of approximately 30 m² is laid out as an outdoor space, and the terrace photographed has a tiled floor and shaded ceiling, indicating a covered, usable area protected from direct sun. Buyers should note that a 1970s building will not match contemporary insulation, glazing or energy standards unless specific upgrades have been installed, and the available data does not state which renovations have been carried out. An on-site technical inspection remains the appropriate way to assess the current condition of the roof, installation work and structure.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €249,000 as an existing, key-ready home; this is not a from-price. For that amount the buyer receives a fully furnished three-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached duplex of 103 m² with a private garden, private terraces, a rooftop room and ducted air conditioning and heating. Recurring costs are stated as €73.00 per month in community fees and €205.60 per year in refuse charges. Because the house is completed and furnished, no construction phase or delivery schedule applies; availability follows the standard purchase process rather than a building calendar.
Daily life at this property revolves around short distances. The beach is about 300 metres away as the crow flies, and the listing describes a one-minute drive to both the beach and the shops, with restaurants, supermarkets and other amenities within walking distance. This makes the residence practical for buyers who prefer not to use a car every day. The house itself is arranged over two floors, with both principal bedrooms opening onto their own private terraces, so morning coffee or evening reading can take place outdoors without leaving the home. The rooftop room adds a flexible extra space: it can function as an occasional guest bedroom, a home office or a hobby area depending on the season and household needs. Outside, the approximately 30 m² private garden is large enough for a dining set, sun loungers or a small planting scheme, and is directly connected to the indoor living space. Within the complex, three communal pools provide swimming options, and the fact that one pool remains open all year extends that possibility beyond the summer months, which is relevant for permanent residents as well as holiday users. The area is a consolidated residential zone rather than a hotel strip, so the rhythm of the neighbourhood is shaped largely by other homeowners, seasonal visitors and the nearby beach. Community fees of €73.00 per month and refuse fees of €205.60 per year are the stated recurring costs. In winter the area will be considerably quieter than in July and August, a pattern typical of Spanish coastal towns.
The surroundings are those of a consolidated beach residential area. Vera Playa lies on the Almería coast, an area known for long sandy beaches and a drier, hotter climate than the more northerly Spanish costas. According to the listing, restaurants, shops and supermarkets are within walking distance, and both the beach and the shops are about a one-minute drive away, which in practice means the car is optional for daily needs. The residential complex itself contains three communal pools, including one that remains open throughout the year, so swimming is not limited to the summer season or to beach days. Because the area serves both holidaymakers and permanent residents, its atmosphere shifts with the calendar: lively in July and August, calm outside the high season, when many coastal neighbourhoods in Almería become noticeably quieter. The neighbourhood is not described as a hotel zone, so the immediate surroundings consist mainly of residential properties. For exploration further afield, a car is useful for visiting the wider Vera and Mojácar coastline, inland villages and natural areas of eastern Andalusia, although the available data does not include specific distances to those destinations, so no travel times are quoted here beyond the figures provided.
The map shows the property within its residential complex in Vera Playa, roughly 300 metres from the Mediterranean beach as the crow flies, with shops and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The flat coastal setting is visible in the surrounding street layout. Distances shown are direct; actual routes may be slightly longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Vera Playa is positioned on the eastern coast of Almería, the province that forms the south-eastern corner of Andalusia. Compared with the Costa del Sol further west, this coastline is less densely developed and generally lower in price, with a drier climate and wide sandy beaches. Within the region, Vera Playa functions as a beach settlement next to the historic inland town of Vera, which supplies broader services. The location suits buyers looking for a quieter, more affordable coastal alternative to the better-known Spanish costas. Precise distances to regional cities are not included in the available data.
The stated distances are short: the beach is approximately 300 metres away as the crow flies, and the listing cites roughly one minute by car to the beach and one minute to the shops. Restaurants, supermarkets and everyday amenities are described as within easy walking distance. This means the property works for residents who prefer not to drive daily, and shopping trips on foot are realistic for most of the year. For longer journeys the property is reached by road, and eastern Almería is connected via the regional road network; the available data does not include distances to the nearest airport or railway station, so no figures are given for those. Public transport options in Vera Playa are not specified in the data, and in most Spanish coastal residential areas bus frequency is limited outside the summer, so a car remains convenient for regional travel even though it is not required for daily errands. Parking within or near the complex is not specified in the available data and should be checked during a viewing.
Vera Playa lies at sea level on the Mediterranean coast of Almería, one of the driest and sunniest corners of mainland Spain. The province is known for low annual rainfall and high sunshine hours, which extends the outdoor season well beyond the summer months. The flat coastal position means the property and its surroundings involve no significant slopes, so walking to the beach, shops and communal pools does not require climbing. The drier climate also means fewer overcast days, though summer temperatures in Almería can be high, which makes the ducted air conditioning a functional necessity rather than a luxury. In winter, the same ducted system provides heating for the cooler evenings typical of the Mediterranean winter. Specific climate figures such as average temperatures or annual rainfall totals are not included in the available data, so no precise numbers are quoted. The nearby beach and dune areas form the closest natural environment, with the wider Almería countryside and mountain interiors reachable by car for day trips.

The primary recreational asset is the beach at approximately 300 metres, reachable on foot in a few minutes. Vera Playa is known for its broad sandy beaches, which are among the main draws of this stretch of the Almería coast; specific Blue Flag designations for the adjacent beaches are not stated in the available data, so this should be verified separately. Within the complex, three communal swimming pools provide an alternative to the sea, and one of them stays open throughout the year, giving permanent residents a swimming option in every season. The private garden and terraces extend outdoor living at home: the covered terrace with tiled floor offers shaded seating, and the garden of around 30 m² suits dining and sunbathing. No golf courses, marinas, tennis facilities or sports centres are mentioned in the available data, so no distances to such facilities are given. The rooftop room adds an indoor leisure option that can serve as a hobby or media space. For further recreation, the wider coastal strip of eastern Almería offers additional beaches and walking routes accessible by car.
