About this property

Penthouse with Private Roof Terrace and Lovely Views

Penthouse Apartment, splendid views over farmland, regular visits from the shepherd with his sheep, goats and dogs. Faces south to make the most of the Spanish sunshine. This area boasts 315 sunny days a year. To me a sea view is from the balcony where you mainly sit or the lounge, so to me I wouldn't advertise a sea view but you can see the sea from the roof terrace and from the kitchen window through the apartments. 3 twin bedrooms so suitable for families, friends and golfers. TV in English programmes over 90 (this doesn’t include ITV and only BBC news) DVD Player, free 300 wi-fi. Fully equipped kitchen, lounge with direct access to balcony for easy outdoor dining. Beautiful sunsets. Further private large roof solarium with brick built bbq for more outdoor dining or soaking up the sun, relaxing and enjoying the view. Full air conditioning. There is a communal pool area with a smaller pool for children. The sandy beach great for children only 10 minutes walk away, shallow and warmer than the Med, with beach bars, one with internet access, Italian restaurant, marina and tennis club.

An Apartment to relax and unwind

A wonderful holiday spent relaxing, whether it was on the superb beach or just on the roof terrace, the apartment had everything. A big thank you to Valerie for letting us stay there. I would definitely recommend this to our friends. A car is a must though, pick it up from the airport on arrival, drop off before coming home otherwise taxi fee will be close to £100 there and back for a family of 3.

Loved the Apartment!

Myself and the wife with our two teenage children stayed May half term. The weather was great and with the breeze on the amazing roof terrace you could lay out, relax, read books, drink wine and basically un-wind. Apartment has everything; Microwave and dishwasher are great additions to our resent apartment’s visits. Los Bolenes has some great restaurants. The Italian Pizza place in the square was 40 euro for 4 of us with wine and beer inc! The New English Gin bar The Juniper is lovely, Peter the owner was so nice-he even booked us into restaurants nearby. The Indian in the Square Bollywood Nights is a must. Weirdly in the UK we never go to an Indian but Peter recommended and it was lovely. All in all a lovely Holiday, great apartment and very spacious with the two bathrooms, 2 showers etc. Mar De Cristal Beach is so child friendly it is just like a lake! No waves. Highly recommended!

Really comfortable property in the typically Spanish town of Mar de Cristal .

Just back from a week in Mar de Cristal staying at Val's three bed penthouse apartment. The apartment is very comfortable, equipped to a high spec, fully functional kitchen and three spacious bedrooms with a fully linked lounge area leading out onto a terraced balcony overlooking the farmland and the village of Los Belones and La Manga Club in the distance. The rooftop terrace is fantastic with a great Barbeque space, plenty of room to catch the rays and a comfortable seating area providing shade where necessary. We were a group of six and never felt cramped for space. Wifi in the apartment is great as is the satellite TV providing a wide array of English channels. Access to the apartment is easy via the lift or for the more energetic the stair case. The communal pool was great and kept at a pleasant temperature. Information in the apartment folder was good with plenty of maos and info. Mar de Cristal is a pleasant village with a lovely beachfront and a brilliant padel Tennis club with cafe / bar where anyone is made to feel more than welcome. If you are looking for tennis coaching Miguel and his team speak great English and are happy to accommodate all standards (mdztennisacademy.com) The club also operates a great gym and classes on a pay as you go basis. Mar de Cristal is a great centre for exploring this area of Spain, Cartagena is within 20 minute drive, Cabo de Polos has a picturesque harbour and restaurants but the coastline from Cabo to Calblanque is spectacular and should not be missed. Cycling in the area is excellent smooth road services and some really interesting off road in the former mining areas of Portman and Le Union excellent bike hire service run by Geoff at the La Manga Club (Biking La Manga). Thanks Val for renting us the apartment we will be back 🤓

Beautiful property, lovely owner

We really enjoyed our stay - the apartment was great, in a quiet area and the private roof terrace is fabulous. Valerie, the owner, was really helpful and quick to answer any questions before our holiday, and Pete and Jan were very welcoming and gave us the keys and showed us how everything worked once we arrived at the apartment. It was really easy, we loved our stay here and we would thoroughly recommend this holiday home. Thanks for having us!

About the host

Hosted by Valerie

We are a couple that love to holiday both in our apartment and in our motorhome. My husband plays golf. We enjoy the theatre. I enjoy art. I am a keen gardener. We have five lovely grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because it is close to the sea, yet had wonderful views over open farmland. It is still a very Spanish. area and not england with sunshine.It is an excellent area for all sports and my husband is a keen golfer and La Manga Club with golf courses, varied sports, night club, restaurants is only a 10 minute drive away. There is wonderful scenery on the nature reserve and Cartagena is a lovely city 20 minutes away. We felt it had a lot to offer for our family for great holidays and would make a great rental property for our clients.

What makes this property unique

Fantastic south facing roof terrace, great for private sun bathing and for BBQs. Lovely views over farm land towards nature reserve. Communal pool for residence only. 10 minutes walk to beach, supermarket, beach bars. 10 minutes walk to tennis club with excellent coaching. 10 minutes drive from La Manga Club with all amenities open to non residents. Great water sports all with excellent coaching, golf, horse riding, go carting all only a 10 minute drive away. 10 minutes drive to lovely nature reserve with great quite beaches. 20 minutes to lovely pretty fishing village with great restaurants. 20 minutes drive to the large interesting town of Cartagena.
