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.

❤ Old Town ❤ Ocean View ❤ Exclusive Rooftop ❤ A/C
Nuno was a really wonderful host. When I found this house I had concerns about the stairs as one of our group had challenges climbing stairs. I asked Nuno about this and even if he knew of any other airbnbs in the area without stairs. He was so kind to help me out. Eventually I booked his/this house as it met all our other criteria. Nuno was great with communication and extremely friendly with advice, recommendations and tips about restaurants, bus schedules, and the area. The house was well kept and the terrace is fantastic! Location in Old Town is also fabulous!! Thanks Nuno, appreciate everything you did to make our stay great!

“Casa do António” Old town beaches 5 minutes walk
Antonio's place was exactly as described. just around the corner restaurants and other activities. Will return.

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....

Algarve holiday beach house with seaview and pool
Amazing localization, beautiful beach! The place was peaceful, clean, and stylish. One of the best places we've been to, totally recommend!

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)
The location of the house is amazing: a few meters from the beach, in a soothing setting. Ideal base for the most beautiful walks in the region along the coastline. The house is tastefully decorated with quality materials. It is perfectly equipped with everything you might need for a dream stay (impeccable house, equipped kitchen, bbq, beach towels, etc.). Stephanie thought of everything! This house is a perfect beach house, but also turns into a soft and warm cocoon thanks to the wood stove when the weather is less clement. Stephanie is a perfect host, attentive and always available. Thanks again for everything! Last point: you will find in front of the house 2 delicious restaurants offering incredible grilled fish! It was a dream stay! We're leaving this house with memories in our heads and we hope to come back soon!

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!

Downtown Pool House
Elsa’s place made our honeymoon absolutely perfect. Spotless and exactly like the photos. A perfect base for exploring Faro and surrounding areas, lovely restaurants on your doorstep. Felt safe walking around the area, even late at night. Noise not an issue, just the construction that is mentioned in the ad but that didn’t bother us! The pool is perfect for cooling off on hot days! Sad to leave, thank you for an amazing holiday!

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
Maria was a great host and so helpful with anything requested. We had an issue with the lobby entrance of the building and she resolved this by communicating with the building management. We had a great time in the accomodation and felt relaxed for our week abroad with the children

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.
