VIEW OF EL ARENAL Some houses greet you with a wink from the sea before you've even opened the door, and this apartment in El Arenal, Jávea, is one of them. It occupies the third floor of a tastefully renovated building, and its 100 m² are split into two bedrooms designed for four people looking for the beach a step away and plenty of comfort. The 24 m² terrace looks out over a sea view that alone justifies lingering a while longer, coffee in hand. Everything here breathes that bright, well-kept air of a renovation done right. INSIDE THE HOUSE. The living-dining room is the heart of the house: a 130x200 cm sofa bed for when someone extra arrives, digital TV, air conditioning and air heating, and a direct exit to the terrace that invites you to eat outside almost any day of the year. The open-plan kitchen, connected to the living room, comes ready for serious cooking: oven, three induction hobs, microwave, dishwasher, freezer, toaster, kettle and electric coffee maker. The first bedroom has a 180x200 cm double bed (two 90 cm pieces), also with air conditioning and heating, and its own access to the terrace. The second, smaller one, has a 90x200 cm bed, ideal for children or as an extra room. The bathroom, with shower and hairdryer, completes the layout. The building has no lift, so keep that in mind with your suitcases if you've been out shopping. OUTSIDE. The furnished 24 m² terrace is the star of the show outdoors, with that sea view that turns any breakfast into a small event. The building shares a lawned area with trees and a kidney-shaped pool (15 x 10 m, depth from 40 to 210 cm), open from March to October, with access via an interior staircase and an outdoor shower to rinse off the salt before heading up. WHERE YOU ARE. You're in El Arenal, one of the calmest and sunniest corners of Jávea, just 130 metres from the sea and the sandy beach. Neighbourhood life is just as close: a café 60 metres away, a bar at 80, a restaurant at 70, a supermarket at 260 and the "Parada Arenal" bus stop at 190 metres. If you enjoy sport, the marina is 300 metres away, the surf school 150, the sailing school 300, and the tennis and paddle courts 400 and 100 metres respectively. You'll also find a pharmacy, a diving centre and a yoga studio within a short walk. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW. The apartment has free wifi, washing machine, dryer, iron and hairdryer. There's one free assigned parking space (no. 5-6). The building has no lift. Parties are not allowed, nor bookings by groups of young people.
