Area for a holiday home with kids
Hi, we are a family with young kids (6 and 4) looking to buy a small holiday apartment in costa calida. Our budget is around 50k maybe a bit more. We both have demanding jobs in London and will be visiting for an odd weekend and a couple of weeks in summer and looking to rent it out the rest of the time. It will most likely be just one of us travelling with the kids and we do not drive. So it is important that the property is within walking distance or has good public transport links to all the amenities, supermarket and there is a good hospital with an A&E department not too far. I do not like swimming pools, so a nice beach within 15-20 min walking distance is a must. We are not too bothered about cafes and restaurants as we mostly cook at home, but a good supermarket or a regular market is a must. I was initially looking around Mar Menor area but was told this is very shallow and not really a proper place for swimming. So I started researching la manga strip as it also has access to the sea. However it looks very far from all the shops and does not have good transport links. I must admit I have not visited costa calida and planning to come over in October for the first time. But I do not get that much time off from work so would like to view a few properties and possibly buy one straight away. Any advice would be much appreciated.
