The saltpans to the north of Mar Menor are one of the most vital wetland areas in Europe supporting a rich and varied wildlife, and are chiefly essential for bird species of which there are many.

The house has a downstairs bedroom and bathroom turning the house into an accessible place for disabled holidays. The pool has also been made as accessible as possible by placing a safety ramp into the pool. Whilst the pool was under construction, the builders added a ramp into the house (because there was already easy level access from the road into the garden) an exercise area with impact-reducing tiles was added.
Next improvement on the list includes widening the doors for wheelchair access and the possibility of converting the utility room into a wet room with wheelchair access. By contacting us you can find out if the house is set up and equipped for your particular needs.
In speaking to the local agent she tells us that "a booking from a Spanish family who had seen the house. Had brought their severely disabled daughter for a holiday - she was not only a wheelchair user but had multiple disabilities." The agent informed us that the family was enormously thrilled with the house and the pool ramp, she said the guests mentioned to her that “it was just fabulous to see the look of pure enjoyment on their daughter's face when she was having fun in the pool."
In September this year a guest discovered an amazing, fully accessible beach about 20 minutes walk away, 5 minutes by car. "We gazed at the lifeguards as they helped a girl who was a wheelchair user to use an amphibious wheelchair. I'd never seen one of these before. It looks like a mix of tricycle and chair the tyres are modified to cope with the sand, a high back and handle for the helper to hold, and beneath the chair arms is an inflatable which allows the entire unit to float in the sea. The girl and her friend were sunbathing right on the water's edge whilst the lifeguards looked after her wheelchair. I was really impressed."
Having looked at the property, spoken to the agent and guests contacted for comments and any recommendations it isn't hard to see why they all gave glowing reports and had smiles of fond memories on their faces vowing to return.
