Large covered terrace apprx 100m2 with plenty of outside chairs and tables. Ideal for alfresco dining.

There are 2 gas Planchas.

Steps with a gate leading directly onto the beach. It's a long sandy beach, safe for children because the waters are relatively shallow and children can wade in.

The 5000 m2 garden is completely fenced in and the property is also fenced in from the dunes. One drives into the 'front garden', having driven into the private 'residence' with remote control gates, and there is enough space to park 6 cars inside the property gates.

There are also lots of restaurants within walking distance, as well as bars/cafes and small markets, so in fact one can manage without a car. There is a bar 2 just a 2 minutes walk on the beach.

The property is completely walled and gated, with remote control gates, which is again good for child safety.

There is a caretaker who lives in the lower ground floor apartment, to the left of the main house. He has a separate entrance and looks after the property, but is very discreet, and pretty much 'invisible' unless you need help.
