Casa da Praia -Elegant Escape by Pool and Beach
Highly recommend! The apartment was incredibly comfortable and had all the amenities needed for a perfect beach getaway. You can tell it’s thoughtfully set up by someone who either travels often or stays here themselves.

Ocean Apt | 200meters>Beach | AC | Wi-Fi | Balcony
This apartment was exactly as described—modern, spacious, with a wonderfully bright living area. We traveled as a couple with our 8-month-old son. Ewa and her team went above and beyond to provide all the equipment we could need, providing a travel cot, high chair and even small cutlery for our baby. These details made our stay incredibly comfortable. The apartment was modern, spacious and incredibly clean. The large balcony offered a view down to the beach and sea and was a great place to relax in the evening. The location of the apartment was ideal being a short walk to the Old Town and also the beach. Would highly recommend this spot, we hope to return in the near future!

Coastal Escape with Backyard Beach, Inema INES
The place was great. Spotless and convenient location and a beautiful beach nearby. They gave us great recommendations for things to do.

“Casa do António” Old town beaches 5 minutes walk
We had a wonderful stay at Casa Antonio. The location is ideal—just minutes from the beach and the restaurant/bar area, yet tucked away from foot traffic, ensuring peaceful, quiet evenings. The double-glazed windows provide excellent sound insulation, especially valuable during the busy peak season. The apartment looks exactly as shown in the photos: clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. Antonio was responsive, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. The only minor downside is that the building doesn't have an elevator. However, Antonio kindly assisted with our luggage, which made a big difference.

D. Ana Beach Studio
It was a very nice time in the little oasis. Everything you need for a great vacation is there. The view over the sea is fantastic and you can dream and forget all your worries....

T2 Sea front Quarteira Algarve. 30 m2 terrace
We loved our stay here, it’s just fabulous, everything you need very close by, people very friendly, our second visit to this property and we love it

Beach Flat w. Terrace 3 Beds Entire Apartment
Bart and Daphne were amazing hosts, and helpful with the directions on navigating the great city of Albufeira, their apartment has breathtaking views of the beach and is only a walk away from all the great things this city has to offer.

Rare Gem 2BR 2BA 300ft beach Ac Wi-fi + Parking

Waterfront house rentals

Wonderfull Beach House in Sagres
Excellent location. Steps from beach. Loved watching surfers. Bruno made us feel right at home. Would stay again.

House by the Beach – Spectacular sea view & pool
Asa’s home is a great spot for a family vacation, it is very comfortable, located in a peaceful complex with a beautiful pool and in close proximity (walking distance) to a beautiful beach. The children enjoyed the home so much as it also had a small playground next door to the house. There were two other areas also within a walking distance with restaurants and other beaches. All in all greatly recommended. Thank you for the beautiful visit. 🤍

Ocean front house - 50 mts from the Arrifana sand
The view itself is worth staying at this place. We loved listening to the waves as we fell asleep and loved waking up to an incredible view. Even while showering you can look out at the ocean. It was clean and has the bare minimum necessities. I think this spot on the interior has potential to be much cuter and a little better stocked, but we still loved our stay. We spent our afternoons on the deck tanning and loved how all restaurants, bars, and beach were all walking distance. This town is adorable!

Beautiful fisherman's house in Benagil (+sea view)
We had the absolute best time at this Airbnb. Located right along the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, this house provided our family with the perfect spot to explore the various beaches easily accessible along the trail. The house also has a very charming (and enclosed) outdoor space my kids loved to plan in when we were getting ready. Stephanie was an outstanding host who communicated very well and ensured we had everything we needed for a great stay. Highly recommend if you want to do some hiking or trail running and visit local beaches. We loved our stay!

#1 Beach House ♡ Ocean View ♡ Rooftop ♡ AC ♡ WiFi
We enjoyed our stay in Albufeira and had an amazing beach day. It was much warmer than predicted. We appreciated the beach bags and towels provided by Marina. A tip if you are taking an uber to the property-ask to be dropped off at Hotel Indigo to save yourself a challenging walk with suitcases to the property.

Traditional townhouse Lagos centre
Exceptional location in Old Town Lagos! Sarah was incredibly communicative! As the description points out, there is no air conditioning, but Sarah gives pointers as to how to keep the place cool. Also, the entry stairs are a bit steep so be warned if you have large luggage. You’re literally minutes from restaurants and bars and there is an exceptional coffee shop just down the block. The place is a gem—felt very local!!

Townhouse Bombarda
Our stay at Casa Bombarda was the highlight of our trip—both the unit and Lagos completely exceeded our expectations. The home is absolutely beautiful, with three stunning outdoor spaces, including a rooftop patio where we enjoyed ocean views and unforgettable sunsets. Luis was a fantastic host—great with communication, full of helpful recommendations, and always quick to respond to any questions or needs we had. The unit is fully equipped with everything you need for cooking and cleaning, which made our stay incredibly comfortable and convenient. The location is ideal: a short walk to the heart of old town and close to amazing restaurants, shops, and beaches. Casa Bombarda went well above and beyond what we hoped for. We’ll always remember our time here and will be recommending it to everyone we know!

Casa Coral ☀ Cozy Little House | Carrapateira
What an amazing stay in Carrapeteira! Great house, good restaurants nearby, and two beaches in walking distance, highly recommended!
Waterfront condo rentals

Luxury Ocean View Condo - Quarteira, Vilamoura
lovely 3 nights break 👌 perfect location to the beach and restaurants and easy parking right outside for free. would highly recommend this place for a few nights or a week beautiful sea views we loved it

Wonderful penthouse with spectacular views
Exceptional view, perfect apartment, plenty of space, easy access to the apartment, market and restaurant! It was great! There was a lot of work in the area which didn't bother us but it justifies our rating of the neighborhood. Very responsive host!!! We really enjoyed his support when needed! Highly recommended!

Luxury sea view apartment Carvoeiro centre
Cannot say enough about this place-would recommend every time. Walkable to fantastic restaurants and shopping, view is unbeatable. The pool was an added bonus after a day of sightseeing! Easy to access hiking, ocean activities and shops to stock up on provisions. Maria and Robert were very helpful and responsive hosts. Stop looking and book!!

Apartment with 2 pools and 300 m from the sea
I can’t recommend Karine’s apartment highly enough. Spotlessly clean, great quiet location within easy walking distance of the beach and lots of restaurants and supermarket. Pool area was secluded and private for myself and young family. Even though there was some building work going on to the apartment complex the builders were quiet and very respectful of us as guests. Already planning our next stay and we haven’t left Portugal!

Large terrace over the ocean (Pool/WI-FI/AC)
We loved staying at Marlene's place! The location can't be beat. The views were amazing and we enjoyed the easy access to the beach and the walking trails along the cliffs. We found the walk to town totally doable (10-15mins) with also a few restaurants even closer (Mar, Luca's rooftop, etc.). The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked. We would definitely stay here again.

Sea view, Albufeira‘s old town, 5 mins to beach
This was such a lovely apartment, me and my 3 friends really enjoyed staying here! And Lisa was more than helpful. HIGHLY recommend it’s so close to old town and other main parts of the area

Wonderful Ocean View Beach Apartment
Rosa’s place was great and exactly as described. Very short distance to beach and town (~15 min). She had recommendations which we appreciated. Check-in was easy. The place was as described and Rosa was super communicative. We encountered some issues after checkin and Rosa handled them immediately, which was so appreciated!! The place was super clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for an amazing stay, Rosa!

OURA WHITE VIEW : Beach 2 min walk sea
Stayed here with my mate for a couple days. Really good location if you are planning to spend a lot of time in new town. Also a stones throw away from the beach. Plenty of food options near by in all directions. The places has all amenities you can think of and a TV with Netflix already loaded up. Comfortable beds and a nice balcony.
