The official definition of a property with the seafront or waterfront label is that the villa or mansion is directly connected to land on the water’s edge. Beachfront property is, however, not the same as waterfront property. A seafront property will not always have a beach in front of it. Sometimes you have your garden and at the end some stairs that go down a path, towards the sea and maybe a little beach. Other properties are on the same level as the nearby beach and can also be called beachfront properties. However, the general term for such a villa is a waterfront property.º
