SUMMARY
Spacious 3-bedroom beachfront apartment, fully furnished in a retro style, with breathtaking views and direct access to the Mediterranean Sea in the Mascarat area. It features a large balcony terrace, parking, two swimming pools, and is surrounded by the best restaurants and bars. The beach is literally just across the street.
CONTEXT
The exclusive Mascarat area is located just 10 minutes from the renowned town of Altea, famous for its colorful historic center and its 187 restaurants. Mascarat is also only 40 minutes from Alicante International Airport, making it easily accessible from anywhere in the world. Within this unparalleled area lies Villa Puerto Beach, a complex of apartments located directly on the beautiful La Barreta beach, just 20 meters from the building, where you can step down in your swimsuit. This beach is truly unique. During the summer, a beach bar offers delicious dishes, drinks, restrooms, freshwater showers, sunbeds, and umbrellas for rent. Although the entrance is pebbly, just five meters into the water, the ground turns to sand, making it easy to see your feet and swim comfortably.
The area is not only surrounded by beautiful mountains but also, and especially, by other stunning and unique beaches with transparent, warm, sandy waters, lifeguards on duty, sunbeds and umbrellas for rent, and beach bars just meters from the water where you can eat or drink during the summer. These dreamy beaches are perfect for swimming in calm, wave-free waters and exploring the vibrant marine ecosystem offered by the Mediterranean Sea. Villa Puerto Beach is a multicultural space, full of nationalities and accents, where everyone you meet has an interesting story to share. The area offers yacht rentals, jet skis, paddleboards, bicycles, yoga, diving, rock climbing, bungee jumping, and much more. On top of that, the area boasts a range of gourmet restaurants, bars with delicious drinks, live music, and DJs, making it a great place to end each day with fun, style, interesting people, and great taste. For convenience, there are kiosks, mini-markets, and affordable takeout options. For larger grocery trips, the fully stocked Masymas supermarket is just 2 minutes by car, 9 minutes by bike, or an 18-minute walk away.
At the heart of this bay lies our apartment, completely soundproofed, sheltered from the wind, facing the sea, and offering truly breathtaking views – from the mountains behind to a gorgeous 200-meter-wide beach. We purchased and fully renovated the apartment at the beginning of 2024. Humbly speaking, we are proud to emphasize the word “renovated” because we did all the work ourselves, with our ideas, hands, tools, and by recycling everything we could find, transforming it into a space with its own identity. It is for this reason, even though it may seem a bit strict, that we prefer not to allow events or parties, pets, or smokers, as (without ill intent) the smoke could linger on the walls, leaving a bad smell for future guests.
THE APARTMENT
The property covers 90 square meters and offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, an open-plan living-dining area, and a bright, spacious terrace for dining, reading, or sunbathing while permanently hearing the sound of the sea. The entire apartment has air conditioning and central heating. All of this is just a few meters away from two beautiful swimming pools: one for children and one for adults. There is a communal parking area with remote-controlled access.
THE DECORATION
The apartment is primarily inspired by a retro aesthetic. It features wooden tennis rackets, vinyl records, vintage advertisement posters, bicycle wheels repurposed as lamps, creative objects, and collectible furniture, all tied to our hobbies and activities at different points in our lives.
