Townhouse
Casita del Mar is located just fifteen minutes' walk from the blue flag beach, on the outskirts of the town in the tranquil suburb of San Blas. Quiet and peaceful, yet only twenty minutes from the larger resorts such as La Manga and Cartagena, the villa has easy access to all amenities, including the local market for bargain hunting, and many excellent restaurants for eating out.
The villa benefits from a shared private pool, with a shallow end perfect for the children. Leading from the living room is a spacious balcony with a balcony to the master beadroom and roof solarium which is equipped with a dining table and electrical sockets for that fresh breakfast toast in the sun. With one double and one twin bedroom, and a convertable bed settee, the villa is ideal for families, with plenty...Casita del Mar is located just fifteen minutes' walk from the blue flag beach, on the outskirts of the town in the tranquil suburb of San Blas.

Good size house with Terrace, balcony and roof top
The house is spacious and very nice, however it’s in need of a good clean and a bit of updating. Plenty of fans to help with the sunny Spanish weather, would have liked air conditioning in main bedroom. The pool is small and private, most days we were the only family in the pool. Kevin the host is very friendly and helpful.

Great time 💃🙂
FROM DAY 1 it felt like home, I was surprised to find a welcome package in the fridge that includes milk, juice, sliced bread, cheese, sweet for the children…. Etc.
The house has everything you need for a holiday, the location is good. However, if you need to go to a Sandy beach u might need a car.
Also a big thank you to Kevin that was in touch with me all the time when I had a question .
Hopefully I will go back in the future🙏

Perfect Space
Kevin was the consummate host - he was super helpful in giving advice on the area and the accommodation and nothing was too much trouble. Apartment was immaculately clean and the cupboards were well stocked with groceries when we arrived
He even provided a "welcome pack" of essentials (including a cheeky red wine!) which was most welcome when we arrived
Plenty of options to choose from in this area but honestly if you are looking for a great place and a caring owner you cant do better than Casa Del Mar !

Estimado huésped, Lamento la revisión promedio inusual debido a la falta de canales en español. El satallite es una mezcla de idiomas, sin embargo, el televisor predeterminado es español. Un texto rápido y / o cambiar la fuente habría contribuido a su disfrute.

Casita del mar
Had a fantastic week with young family. The house is well located near supermarket and only 20 minutes walk to beach and main town(€5 taxi ride).The house is was very clean and equipped with everything you need,for an enjoyable stay, including equipment for pool/ beach. Also a very much appreciated welcome pack on arrival. The pool is lovely, as are the beaches. (Very clean and warm water). I recommend the ferry trip across to la manga (€5 one way, free for under 6) and also local bus trip further up the coast to lo pagan (it can be walked or cycled if feeling really energetic). Easy booking process, with advice and info from Kevin the owner.

Great Place
Just returned from a lovely 11 night stay at Casita del Mar. The townhouse is in a very convenient location , 16 minute flat walk to the lovely beaches of the Mar Menor & a good selection of local restaurant's. Aldi & Lidl are a 10 minute walk away (we made good use of the shopping trolley).A Mercadona is a further 5 minute walk & it's not much further along to San Javier .
We enjoyed spending time on the Solarium , sun all day long & the pool was a 2 minute walk around the corner.
Kevin the owner was very helpful , recommending local restaruants etc , the Welcome pack was much appreciated .

The lovely town of Santiago de la Ribera comes under the municipality of San Javier and lies within the Murcia region of Spain on the Costa Calida. Santiago de la Ribera is one of the beautiful and popular resorts lying on the Mar Menor ('Lesser Sea') which is the largest salt lake in Europe and boasts some fine beaches and shallow , safe bathing waters - ideal for family vacations..
Santiago de la Ribera grew from a small hermitage built in 1888 and is named after Saint James the Apostle. The hermitage was founded under the orders of Friar José Maria Barnuevo Rodrigo de Villamayor, who was a Knight of the Military Order of Santiago which is how the town came by its name.
This fishing village grew as a prime holiday destination for wealthy Murcians who built their houses along the coast. Santiago has a very lovely promenade flanked by attractive palm trees. Today Santiago is still popular with the Spanish for their vacations but also attracts tourists from all over Europe and although it has a modern air, it has still maintained its ‘fishing village’ atmosphere.
The promenade (El Paseo Colón) passes the Club Nautico and leads to an area known as La Ciudad del Aire ('City of Air')
Santiago de la Ribera has its fair share of fiestas and celebrations including the Three Kings (January), the festival of the Virgen del Carmen (July) and the huge Festival of Santiago (July). Santiago de la Ribera also holds the National Folk Festival.In addition the international jazz festival at San Javier in August
Santiago de la Ribera has about 4 kilometres of fine sandy beaches which can be enjoyed by holidaymakers. Santiago de la Ribera looks across the Mar Menor to the narrow strip of land known as La Manga - a famous and exclusive sports resort.
Santiago de la Ribera boasts a popular water-sports centre and sailing club and has a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants
There is a large park / play area 200metres from the property, which is ideal for toddlers / juniors to play safely. The area is also ideal for cyclists ,as a result of a flat landscape near the coast with cycle tracks and a local canal in close proximity. Sailing , wind surfing, fishing, horse riding, walking and very safe bathing is all available within the locality.
Access
Car not needed
How to get there
Many budget airlines fly from most European airports to either Murcia [San Javier] airport which is 10 mins by car / taxi away or Alicante airport which is an hour away.Alternatively Valencia or Almeria are two hours away if you fancy starting your holiday through the olive groves and orange plantations on the way to the house.
Although car hire is readily available at the airports, with some of the best rates compared to anywhere in the world, a car is not necessary. The house is 12 minutes easy walk to the beach and cycle hire, taxis are widely available.
We are happy to assist with air line bookings and car hire if required.
