A key-ready ground-floor apartment on the beachfront of Playazo de Vera, in Vera Playa, Almería. The property offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and approximately 150 m² of living space, with a front and back private garden totalling a plot of about 180 m². The asking price is fixed at €495,000 and includes a private parking space plus a storage room of roughly 30 m². The apartment sits within a gated residential complex with direct beach access, four communal swimming pools, a paddle tennis court, a football pitch and a children's playground. Sea views are present from both the interior and the garden.
Within the Costa Almería, Vera Playa competes directly with the nearby areas of Mojácar Playa, Garrucha and the coast around Cuevas del Almanzora. Compared with Mojácar Playa, which combines hillside views with a denser mix of apartments and tourism, Vera Playa is flatter, lower-rise and more uniformly residential, which generally means quieter off-season months and a more family-oriented beach scene. Garrucha offers a working fishing port and a traditional Spanish town structure on the seafront, but its housing stock is older and its beachfront more compact. A ground-floor unit with a private front and back garden is a distinguishing feature in this segment. Most beachfront inventory along the Almería coast consists of apartments with balconies rather than private outdoor plots, so the roughly 180 m² plot adds a dimension normally associated with townhouses or villas, at a price point, €495,000 for four bedrooms and three bathrooms, that would typically buy less space or a less direct beach position. Measured against the Costa del Sol further west, the trade-offs are consistent: lower density, lower prices per square metre and a quieter coastline, in exchange for fewer international services, thinner flight connections and a seasonal rhythm that empties noticeably in winter. For buyers comparing within eastern Andalucía, the practical comparison set also includes the Águilas coast just over the Murcia border, which shares many characteristics but sits within a different regional market. The inclusion of a parking space and a large storage room in the price strengthens the position relative to comparable listings, where these elements are often priced separately. The main verification points against competing properties remain the 1970 construction date, the unclear renovation history, and the community fees for the extensive shared facilities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is located directly on the beachfront of Playazo de Vera, at the heart of the Vera Playa coastal area in Almería. The complex has direct access to the beach, meaning the sea is only a short walk from the front door. A restaurant is situated within the complex itself. The surrounding area is a consolidated residential beach zone, with the wider town of Vera and other coastal villages of eastern Almería within driving distance.
With four bedrooms and three full bathrooms across roughly 150 m², the home suits larger households or owners who regularly host guests. The ground-floor position and private front and back gardens make outdoor living practical, while the included parking space and approximately 30 m² storage room cover the needs of a permanent residence as well as extended holiday stays. Air conditioning is installed for the warmer months.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 1970 according to the property records, although the source description states the apartment is in good condition and ready to move into. The purchase therefore concerns a completed, key-ready property: no off-plan phase, no construction risk, and no waiting time before occupation. Completion dates and renovation history are indicative and should be verified during the purchase process.
The property does not offer a private swimming pool; bathing facilities are communal, shared with the complex. There is no private garage, but rather one included parking space. The building dates from 1970, so construction standards, insulation and installations reflect that period unless documented upgrades exist. No information is available about lift access, heating systems, sea-view orientation of every room, or annual community fees; these points require verification.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family needing four bedrooms and three bathrooms within walking distance of the sand will find the layout directly practical, particularly given the playground and pools within the gated complex. Buyers seeking a second home for extended holidays benefit from the key-ready condition: the home can be used immediately, the storage room accommodates seasonal equipment, and the bunk-bed room already anticipates visiting grandchildren or friends. Buyers who prioritise outdoor space in a coastal setting are also addressed. A ground-floor apartment with a front and back garden is relatively rare on the Spanish coast, where most beachfront stock consists of upper-floor apartments with balconies. The private lawn and patio areas offer an alternative for people who want to barbecue, keep a dog or simply sit outside at ground level. The property is less self-evident for buyers wanting a modern new-build with a private pool, contemporary insulation standards or a luxury finish; the 1970 construction date and communal facilities sit differently. Equally, buyers who want a lift-served building should verify whether one exists. For owners planning to rent the home out, the beachfront position, four bedrooms and on-site amenities are relevant factors, though rental yield depends on local regulation and seasonality, which fall outside the scope of this description.
The apartment is described as being in good condition and ready for immediate occupation. Interior features include a bathroom with a tub, toilet and sink, and a bunk-bed room with direct balcony access, as visible in the photographs. Built-in wardrobes provide practical storage in the sleeping areas. Air conditioning is installed, which covers cooling during the Almería summer; no information is available about a heating system for the winter months, and this should be checked during a viewing. The construction dates from 1970 according to the property records. For a building of this age, buyers typically examine the state of plumbing and electrical installations, window frames and glazing, and the roof and façade condition of the ground-floor unit. The source description mentions a 2005 construction date, creating a discrepancy that a technical survey or the nota simple would clarify; a renovation in 2005 is a plausible explanation for the mixed records. The outdoor spaces appear finished and usable: a patio with furniture against a brick wall, a lawn with a seating area, and a terrace with a sea view. The communal areas, four swimming pools, landscaped gardens, a paddle court, a football pitch and a playground, are shared facilities whose maintenance is presumably covered by community fees, the amount of which is not stated. The included parking space and 30 m² storage room add practical value independent of the finish level.
The asking price is fixed at €495,000; this is an existing home, not a project with a price list. The price includes the apartment itself, a private parking space and the storage room of approximately 30 m², which is a notable inclusion for a beachfront location where parking is often scarce. At roughly 150 m² of living space, the price equates to about €3,300 per square metre before accounting for the garden plot and extras. The property is key-ready, so no additional costs for finishing or furnishing beyond the buyer's own preferences are required. Availability and exact conditions can be confirmed through a viewing or an information request.
Daily life at this property is organised around the beach. Because the complex has direct access to Playazo de Vera, the sea effectively functions as an extension of the garden: morning walks along the shore, swimming in summer, and the constant presence of sea views from the patio are the defining routine here. The ground-floor layout with front and back gardens means the 150 m² of interior space flows naturally into private outdoor areas furnished with seating and lawn, as shown in the property photographs. The four bedrooms and three bathrooms allow a family or a group of guests to stay without sharing facilities, and one of the bedrooms contains bunk beds with balcony access, suggesting it is set up for children or occasional visitors. Storage is generous by coastal standards: built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms and a separate storage room of around 30 m² absorb bicycles, beach gear and seasonal items. Life within the complex is self-contained to a degree. Four communal pools surrounded by landscaped gardens, a paddle tennis court, a football pitch and a children's playground provide recreation without leaving the grounds, and an on-site restaurant removes the need to drive for a simple meal. Outside the complex, Vera Playa is a quieter, low-rise coastal zone that becomes busier in the summer season and calmer in the winter months, which is worth considering for year-round residents who value tranquillity.
Vera Playa is a low-rise beach resort area on the coast of eastern Almería, built around the long stretch of sand known as Playazo de Vera. The environment is residential rather than urban: the complex itself functions as a small neighbourhood with its own restaurant, pools and sports facilities, while the immediate surroundings consist of similar gated communities, beach chiringuitos and scattered shops and services that concentrate in the commercial zones of Vera Playa. For daily needs, a car is the practical instrument. The town of Vera, with its full range of supermarkets, health centre, schools and weekly market, is a short drive inland, and the coastal road connects the area to Garrucha, Mojácar and the beaches of Cabo de Gata further along the coast. Almería city and its airport lie further west, making the location better suited to buyers who accept a longer transfer in exchange for a quieter, less developed coastline. The rhythm of the area follows the seasons. In summer, the population of Vera Playa swells with Spanish holidaymakers and the beaches and pools fill; from autumn to spring, the zone becomes notably calmer, with some seasonal businesses closing. This pattern suits owners who seek quiet off-season living and lively summer months, and it is a common feature of the Almería coast compared with the year-round density of the Costa del Sol.
The map shows the position of the apartment on the beachfront of Playazo de Vera, within the gated complex on the Almería coast. The immediate surroundings are low-rise residential beach zones; the towns of Garrucha and Mojácar lie along the coast to the south and north-east, with Vera town slightly inland. The flat coastal profile and the open stretch of sand are clearly visible.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Vera Playa occupies a distinct position within the Spanish coastal property market. It belongs to the Costa Almería, the stretch of coast east of Almería city that has developed later and less densely than the Costa del Sol or the Costa Blanca. The result is a lower building height, more open beachfront and generally lower price levels, combined with a longer transfer time from the major airports. Within the region, Vera Playa sits between the hillside town of Mojácar to the north-east and the port town of Garrucha to the south, with the historic town of Vera a short distance inland. The area attracts mainly Spanish and northern European buyers seeking a quieter coastal alternative, rather than the resort-density market further west.
The most important amenity, the beach, is reached on foot via the complex's direct beach access, without crossing a road. The on-site restaurant covers basic dining needs. Beyond that, accessibility depends on the car: the A-350 and the coastal AL-7107 road link Vera Playa to the surrounding towns, and the location sits roughly midway between the larger centres of Mojácar to the north-east and Almería city to the south-west. No specific distances or travel times to the airport, golf courses or neighbouring towns are given in the available data, so these should be verified rather than assumed. What can be stated is that Almería Airport is the nearest major airport by regional geography, served by domestic and a limited number of international routes, while many international buyers of this coast also use Alicante or Murcia airports, both of which involve a considerably longer drive. Public transport along this stretch of coast is limited, and the included parking space reflects the fact that daily life here is car-based.
Almería holds the record as one of the driest and sunniest provinces in Spain, with roughly 3,000 sunshine hours per year and low annual rainfall concentrated in a few autumn and winter months. For residents, this translates into a long outdoor season: garden and patio use runs from early spring to late autumn, and the sea remains swimmable from approximately May into October. Summers are hot, with daytime temperatures regularly above 30 °C, which is where the installed air conditioning and the proximity of the sea become practical rather than incidental. Winters are mild by northern European standards, typically averaging in the mid-teens, though unheated rooms in a 1970s building can feel cool in the evenings, making a heating solution worth investigating. The terrain around Vera Playa is essentially flat at the coast, rising inland towards the hills of the Vera basin and, further afield, the Sierra de Cabrera and the protected landscapes of Cabo de Gata-Níjar. The flat coastal profile makes walking and cycling realistic options for daily movement along the beachfront.

Playazo de Vera is one of the widest and longest beaches on the Almería coast, an open stretch of dark golden sand backed by dunes and low-rise development. Direct access from the complex places this beach at the doorstep, which is the central recreational asset of the property. Note that a section of Vera Playa is also known as an established naturist zone, a characteristic of the area that some buyers appreciate for its tolerance and others prefer to be informed about. Within the complex, recreation is structured: four communal swimming pools set in landscaped gardens, a paddle tennis court, a football pitch and a children's playground, plus the on-site restaurant. This combination allows daily activity without leaving the grounds. In the wider area, the coast offers water sports, beach bars and the fishing port of Garrucha nearby, while the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, with its volcanic coves, hiking routes and protected beaches, lies within driving distance along the coast. Golf courses exist in the region, notably around Mojácar, but no specific distance data is available, so golf-oriented buyers should verify this independently.
