Six Stunning Seaview Properties in Europe Under 200K
May 2022
With summer quickly approaching, we're dreaming of lazy days floating in the sea (drink in hand, of course). And we know we're not alone in the desire to own our own little piece of coastal paradise in Europe. That's why we scoured the internet to find you some amazingly affordable seaside bargains in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece.
Which is your favorite?
PROPERTY 1
Asking €149,000 (about $160,000 USD)
Nerja Malaga Spain
Studio | 1 bath | 28 m2 (301 sq ft)
Our opinion: The listing agent is clearly a person of few words, so we don't have a very elaborate description to go off of here. However, we feel the views speak for themselves! Categorized as a studio, a cute alcove houses room enough for a double bed to separate living from sleeping. A small yet efficient kitchen flanks the entrance hall to again maximize space. From the photos, we note there is a communal pool. No word on HOA/Condo fees. If you're looking for an investment to rent out as a vacation home, a quick AIRDNA search shows Nerja with an average rate of €103/night and 57% occupancy.
About Nerja
Nerja is a resort town along southern Spain's Costa del Sol. Its seafront promenade, Balcón de Europa, tops a promontory with views of the Mediterranean and surrounding mountains. Below it lie sandy beaches and cliffside coves. Cueva de Nerja, a nearby cavern with unusual stalactites and stalagmites, hosts popular summertime concerts. (Source: Google)
Positioned at the eastern tip of the Costa del Sol, Nerja boasts nearly 10 miles of powdery beaches featuring activities like water skiing, scuba diving and sailing. Although tourist-oriented, it hasn't been overtaken by high-rises, and its huge promenade delivers panoramic Mediterranean views. (Source: TripAdvisor)

PROPERTY 2
Asking €175,000 (or about $188,000 USD)
Alvor Algarve Portugal
Studio | 1 bath | 35 m2 (377 sq ft)
Our opinion: We'll start with location, location, location! The Algarve region of Portugal is SUPER HOT and we've seen prices skyrocket in the area over the past couple of years due to so many foreign buyers investing. When we spied this little dandy with magnificent sea views, we had to include it as a feature.
Alvor is a seaside resort and fishing village in the Algarve, Portugal’s southernmost region. The 16th-century Igreja Matriz church rises above the old town, while 3 Islamic shrines (morabitos) evoke the area’s Moorish heritage. Cobbled lanes lead down to the paved riverfront, which is lined with bars and seafood restaurants. The wetlands of the Alvor river estuary provide a habitat for resident and migratory birds.

From the listing:
When people think about owning property in the Algarve, many visualise beautiful views over white sands and the turquoise ocean - a little bit like the views from this super studio apartment. Located in Alvor, home to many fantastic beaches, this studio apartment's X-factor is its stunning ocean views.
Just a two-minute stroll down to the beach, this studio is located in a private condominium close to all amenities as well as to the town centre of Alvor. It offers you a spacious open plan living sleeping area and can sleep up to four people. The fitted wardrobes are large and have full length mirrored doors. The fully fitted and equipped kitchen area has all you need as well as a breakfast bar. The family bathroom is a good size and comes complete with a bath and shower.
However, it is the balcony with its stunning views and space for table and chairs where we think you will spend most of your time. Enjoy your morning coffee, lunchtime snack or evening drinks with the sounds of the waves in the distance - pure bliss.
Sold furnished the studio has air conditioning and as the owner, you have access to the communal pool, games area, garden and sauna.

PROPERTY 3
Asking €120,000 (or about $129,000 USD)
San Nicola Arcella, Cosenza Italy
1 bed | 2 baths | 99 m2 (1066 sq ft)
Our opinion: Stunning views from the terrace are what make this one a STEAL. There's a decent amount of space to work with inside. A large bedroom that could use some new furniture to bring it into the 2000's, but it's large and could accommodate another single bed or an office nook. There are 2 bathrooms, which is SO RARE in Italy (especially when there's only one bedroom). And how about that wine barrel bathtub?
From the listing:
San Nicola Arcella, on a sunny hill, in a quiet and elegant setting, on a gated and very well-maintained complex, we offer for sale a lovely apartment featuring a spacious terrace with awnings and outdoor kitchen, a living space with kitchen, two bathrooms, a double bedroom and a walk-in closet. All the windows in the apartment offer breathtaking views of Dino island and the Gulf of Policastro. In very good shape, with air conditioning, dishwasher, washing machine, equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi and furniture. Parking available nearby.

PROPERTY 4
Asking €169,000 (or about $181,000 USD)
Mojácar, Almería, Andalusia, Spain
2 beds | 2 baths | 96 m2 (1033 sq ft)
Our opinion: If you're looking for more space, this one is great value with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. But let's not overlook the gorgeous terrace and those elevated sea views. Although not walking distance to the beach, it is a short 5 minute drive away. And we think the space and privacy make up for it.
From the listing:
A beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bathroom duplex situated in the La Parata area of Mojacar Playa. Due to the property's elevation, the views from the south-east facing terrace are stunning overlooking La Parata and down to the Mediterranean Sea. The duplex has been finished to an incredibly high standard and is immaculately presented.
A driveway leads up to the four properties situated here which are all accessed via a walkway. Although there isn't a community in place, the drive & walkway are maintained by the owners of the four properties as these are the only areas that can be considered communal.
A gateway then opens into a lovely courtyard; the terraced area is completely private and is an ideal spot to enjoy the sun. A door from here then leads into the modern & open plan kitchen/diner. The kitchen was recently refurbished and boasts a large amount of worktop space and storage, whilst the dining area easily accommodates a table and 6 chairs. A feature arched window in this space offers fantastic views of fabulous blue sea and sky. An archway from the dining area then opens into the living room which is incredibly light & bright due to dual aspect windows as well as French doors onto the terrace. The living room also boasts a central gas fireplace and the ceilings have exposed beams to give this space a lovely amount of character. Onto the terrace the views are simply spectacular! Due to the size of this terrace, there is ample space for lounge furniture under the already installed retractable shade awning as well as a sunbathing area.
Stairs from the dining area lead down to the sleeping quarters. To the left of the hallway, there are 2 good sized double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and Juliet balconies. Whilst to the right of the hall, there are 2 modern shower rooms which have both been recently renovated.
Other extras in the property include fly screens on all the windows and storage rooms in the living room and front courtyard. The property can also be sold furnished, subject to negotiation.
La Parata is just a 6 minute drive away from the beaches of Mojacar and although this small development does not have a communal pool, there is a pool in La Parata which can be used with payment of an annual fee. The area is also home to a very popular restaurant, Restaurante La Parata.

Our opinion: Last, but certainly not least we fell in love with this charming property a short ride away from Cinque Terre. In a neighborhood with oodles of charm, it's also just 15 minutes walking distance to famous beaches (via footpath).
