About this property

Very Special Modern 2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom Penthouse Apartment with Huge Terrace

The penthouse itself has two bedrooms, one double bedroom with aircon plus an en-suite bathroom, there is another bedroom with twin beds overlooking the pool, with a ceiling fan, there is smaller bathroom just outside the twin room, both bedrooms have lots of storage space available and all the bedding and towels are included.

The kitchen comes complete with washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer, microwave and oven, along with a coffee machine, toaster and kettle for those home comforts, also all the plates, cups, glasses bowls, cooking dishes, pots and pans, plus utensils, it has a lovely outlook from the window.

The living room has aircon plus a ceiling fan, a sofa bed which is very cosy, the space is clutter free, it has a smart TV and a fold away dining table, with stackable cushioned stalls. there are two double French doors, one to the side and one to the front both lead onto the large terrace.with beautiful views of the outside space.

The private terrace area really is the talking point of the whole apartment, there are two huge sunny terrace areas, one directly outside the French doors from the living room, which has the outside dining area which is undercover should it rain or you need some shade, along with a cushioned area for sitting in the shade, there is plenty of room for soaking up the rays, or just simply chilling, reading your book or drinking a glass of wine.

The upstairs terrace accessible by the spiral staircase has stunning panoramic views of the hills and the sea, and is the perfect suntrap for sun worshippers.

Our apartment is one of 46 apartments within a small gated and secure complex Serena Mar 1, which shares a lovely big pool (23x10m) with a smaller children’s pool next to it, which is surrounded by beautiful gardens, this is all maintained regularly by Carlo, it also has a private parking space for your use, or you can park free of charge outside of the apartment.

The apartment is a very short 2 minute walk to the supermarket and Romana beach which is one of five Blue Flag beaches in Alcossebre, the apartment is situated just on the outskirts of town, with a few bars/restaurants by the beach, however the main town is only a short 15 minute relaxing stroll along the sea and the wooden walkway, where you will find plenty of shops, bars and restaurants, there are a few bars and resturants to stop at on route, there are also plenty of climbing frames and children’s play areas along the beach, you will also find a great children's play area in the main town, which also holds regular children's puppet shows, so there’s something for everyone.

Beyond the main town, if you keep walking straight you will see little market stalls along the sea line selling holiday jewellery and bits and bobs, if you keep walking you will come to the marina with more bars and restaurants and Las Fuentes Beach which has a beach bar open until midnight, children's trampolines etc..
Alcossesbre itself is a very quiet Spanish village, you will not find any rowdy bars or late night clubs here, just nice relaxed chilled vibes.

Las Fuentes is a bit more lively with bars open past midnight, but this area is a good 40 minute walk away from the apartment, so you will not get disturbed at night by any loud noise.

Alcossebre transforms during the Summer holidays, where it is full of young families and couples with the hustle and bustle of any costal holiday destination, out of these times, Alcossebre returns back to being an extremely quiet town, so would make the perfect destination for people who would like to just relax and unwind by doing as little as possible.

Alcossebre is without doubt one of Spain’s best kept secrets.

Beautiful apartment with more than generous terraces for sunbathing, dining or just chilling. Lovely views and sunsets / sunrises / sea. Had a very comfortable stay and would definitely choose again. Close to all the amenities including the beach. Very clean, stylish and well managed. Lovely vacation and vacation home.

Un apartamento fantástico
Hemos estado muy a gusto en el apartamento durante nuestras vacaciones. Es justo lo que buscábamos: un apartamento cerca de la playa, pero con una piscina privada que no estuviese abarrotada de gente. Nos recibió Steve, muy simpático y amable, incluso nos ayudó a subir las maletas. El tamaño del apartamento es ideal para cuatro personas. Estaba limpio, decorado con gusto y con muchos detalles. La cocina es reducida, pero perfectamente equipada (lavavajillas, lavadora...). El aire acondicionado funciona perfectamente en el comedor y dormitorio principal. Tanto el dormitorio principal como el de las dos camas están equipados con ventilador de techo, aunque en el dormitorio pequeño haría falta también aire acondicionado, el ventilador puede ser insuficiente en días de calor. Pero lo mejor sin duda del apartamento es su enorme terraza, donde hemos podido disfrutar juntos de desayunos, comidas y cenas. Las vistas a la montaña son muy agradables. El apartamento no tiene ascensor, pero la verdad es que no nos ha importado mucho, sus dos tramos de escaleras se suben con facilidad. Hemos disfrutado de la piscina prácticamente sólos. Es una piscina de buen tamaño, rodeada de cesped y con todo lo necesario para estar cómodo. Es una comunidad muy tranquila. Volveríamos sin duda.

8 relaxing days after visit to Granada, Cordoba &Toledo
Property is 2nd line from beach. Short walk to beach and 3 local restaurants. 30 minute walk into Alcossebre and lots of restaurants. Reasonable supermarket 5 minute walk and massive one in Alcossebre. Peñíscola is well worth a visit as is Benicàssim. Both about a 30 minute drive away. 2hr train journey(slow local service) takes you into the centre of Valencia. Well worth a visit. Apartment was very quiet in September with a fantastic large pool. The apartment has the benefit of 2 massive terraces. The kitchen is well equipped for a rental property. Owners have put a lot of thought into set up of property. All in - great property. Only negative points are lounge has only one large sofa for three. If four adults are staying there would ideally be another comfortable seat. Also not used to paying an additional charge for WiFi. 2nd bedroom needs two bedside lights. Only one provided. Overall superb apartment - best suited to a family of four. Rental is definitely great value for your money. Would revisit if in area.

Wunderschöne Ferienwohnung mit traumhafter Terrasse mit Blick auf Meer und Berge!
Hallo Julia, vielen Dank für die wundervolle Ferienwohnung mit traumhaftem Ausblick und sehr gut ausgestatteter Terrasse (Holztisch mit Holzstühlen und Sonnenliegen) Es ist ein schöner Blick auf Meer und Berge. Zwei klimatisierte Schlafzimmer und zwei Bäder, ein Bad mit Badewanne und ein Bad mit Dusche, komplett ausgestattener Küche, einem klimatisiertem Wohnzimmer und übeall mit Außenjalousien.

Paradise revisited
The best apartment we have ever stayed in, period. The lounge is spacious with air con and a huge pullout sofa bed. The kitchen is well appointed with all the mod cons you need, the bedrooms are modern and spotless. The two bathrooms are also modern and fresh, some can be dated by comparison. The balcony is simply peerless. It is huge and has dividing roller blinds for shade. The host Julia is a lovely lady, communicative and accommodating. Stop looking this is the one for you. Clean, modern, and the balcony wow. Definitely be back 😁

A lovely stay in this spacious apartment.
Well situated and peaceful, the apartment had a fantastic terrace for eating and relaxing when not on the beach. Plenty of towels for use and comfortable beds. Pool was very clean though not quite warm enough to use this time of year. Excellent information folder. We have very much enjoyed our holiday

Spanish get away
Not living in Europe, we found the directions to the property very difficult, especially after a trans Atlantic flight & drive from Barcelona, the property was clean & efficient, but no welcome package of any sort, not even salt & pepper, if we had arrived late, would have been out of luck as everything closes. Even a 'heads up' would have been appreciated. A very minor thing, instructions on the appliances, very different to what we have in Canada, had to use the trial & error approach. We had a very nice 5 days, good area for getting around, nice beach, plenty of restaurants.

Nice apartment in a nice place.
Just returned from 10 days in Alcossebre. The apartment is just like you see in the photos, spacious, clean,well equipped and fantastic outdoor space. Location is close to a number of sandy beaches, restaurants and bars. Walking into Alcossebre you have a more varied choice of restaurants at competitive prices. One word of warning, don't trust your sat nav. We were sent on shortest route which turned out to be narrow gravel/chalk track. Follow N340 until CV142 that goes into Alcossebre and then follow instructions. No hesitation in recommending this property or Alcossebre which is very Spanish.

Excellent accommodation
This was our 3rd holiday in Alcossebre but our first at this apartment. The accommodation is great, just as the photos show - well kept and spotlessly clean. We spent lots of time on the fantastic terrace, sunbathing, reading and chilling out. The views are amazing and you are not overlooked at all, it's really private. The pool looked great, clean and well kept, but we didn't spend much time there as one of the reasons for coming to Alcossebre is for the fantastic beaches. We spent some days on Romana beach (only 12 euros for 2 sunloungers and umbrella) popping up to restaurant Ru-Sos for lunch and returning to the beach for the afternoon. Walked into town some evenings via the boardwalk for dinner and a change of scenery. Nice atmosphere as it was fiesta time while we were there. The contact and details from the owner Julia were good and she also arranged transfers to and from the airport so we didn't need a hire car this visit. I would definitely recommend Julia's apartment and would stay here again.

Smashing.
Our fifth visit to Alcossebre made all the more special by the fact that we got to stay in Serena Mar. We loved it. The terrace is something else and the views across a lovely little park towards the Sierra Irta were just stunning. Inside the apartment there's​ everything you need for a relaxed holiday - comfy beds, good showers, efficient air-conditioning. The pool is great and there are plenty of shady spots in the garden. The position of Serena Mar is fantastic - four restaurants​, a well-stocked supermarket and a gorgeous beach within five minutes walk. The owner was top class - helpful, friendly and easy going. Couldn't ask for more and can't wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Julia Longhurst

Host profile image
I am a very busy working mum with two children Summer and Finley, myself and my partner Neil have been together for 34 years this year, it has been our dream for most of that time to buy an apartment in Spain, we just never found the perfect place.
Being busy the majority of the time, with work, home and the children, my favourite things to do are spend time with friends, going to gigs, listening to music and being in the sunshine on holiday, so Neil surprised me for my 40th birthday with a trip away to Alcossebre to go to Benicassim Music Festival, I went with five other girls, we all spent a few nights at the Festival but spent the days laying around on the beach and sitting in bars in Alcossebre, from that very first day I knew I had found that perfect place we had been looking for to buy our 2nd home.
After flying home from our short stay myself and Neil began our search for that perfect property, after a few visits and what seems like viewing hundreds of properties we were shown Serena Mar in September 2015, we fell in love with it straight away, we completed in January 2016...
We now just now can't wait to spend as much time there with family and friends as possible, and enjoy it to the full, in fact it's that nice we want to share it with everyone.

Why they chose this property

Serena Mar is a real home from home, the apartment itself is a lovely manageable size with all the home comforts, it's clean, bright and modern..
The outside space really is something else, the terrace area is huge, so you can spend lots of quality time outside if you want to have a lazy day, morning or afternoon chilling at the apartment, it's all there..
We looked at a huge amount of properties in Alcossebre, we know we are very blessed with having so much outside space as there really aren't that many apartments like this on offer.

What makes this property unique

Again I supposed the unique benefits are the terraces.
Downstairs terrace has a lovely space for dining and chilling, it has shady areas as well as sunny areas, with lovely potted plants and great views, you can chill to your hearts content.
Upstairs on the roof terrace is the place for sun worshippers, the sun remains up there all day, and boosts stunning views..
There is no barbecue or outside cooking facilities!
