Waterfront vacation rentals in South America

Excellent stay! Margarita’s place was stunning, spotless, and exactly as described in the photos. I felt extremely safe and comfortable—there’s a 24/7 security guard at the door, which gave me great peace of mind. The location is perfect: walkable to everything, but just far enough from the busy areas for a quiet night’s sleep. Margarita was very responsive and proactive with helpful recommendations. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

We loved our stay here!

Excellent location with an amazing view. Margareth allowed us to check in early after the unit was cleaned and ready. She was great with communication and with her instructions. Short pleasant walk to Larcomar and nice restaurants nearby. We look forward to staying in the unit again at the end of our Peru trip!

Excelente ! Recomendado , volvería a hospedarme aquí. Limpio, accesible, seguro, tal como en las fotos. Distancia : se puede caminar a todos lados, suficientemente apartado del agite de las calles de los bares, puedes tener un buen descanso. Daniel excelente anfitrión, muy amable, pendiente. Muchas gracias por tus recomendaciones

Carla muy atenta y siempre reapondio rapido a todas nuestras dudas, el dpto genial y en una ubicación perfecta entre rua das pedras y joao fernandez todo a pie. Lo único que podría decir es que el colchón de la cama era un poco duro para mi gusto, pero el resto todo perfecto. Los conserjes muy atentos también.

Beautiful apartment with stunning views, and close to the airport. Jeannet is super responsive and also sent us lots of recommendations for things to do.

We had an amazing stay at Vergilio’s place! The home was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described in the listing. Check-in was smooth, and Vergilio even met us at the front and took our bags upstairs. He provided clear instructions and was super responsive to any questions. The neighborhood was close to everything we needed—great restaurants, public transport, and beaches. Thanks again Vergilio for helping with the birthday surprise! One of the best Airbnb stays I’ve had—highly recommend to anyone visiting Rio! Would definitely book again.

A localização é incrível. Parecia que eu estava vivendo um sonho, com aquela vista maravilhosa.. que mesmo em dia de chuva, continua incrível!!!! Tem muitos restaurantes próximos, supermercados, ótimo local, recomendo muito! E a vista é um show a parte. E o apartamento estava muito limpo e cheiroso amamos.

We hadden een fantastisch verblijf in Uri’s cabana. We werden warm onthaald en voelden ons meteen thuis. Uri is een geweldige host en stond steeds klaar om ons te helpen onder andere met het huren van een brommer en regelen van surflessen, maar ook toen we motorpech hadden. Bovendien is het een prachtige locatie, en konden we helemaal tot rust komen in zijn klein paradijs.

El lugar es agradable , muy limpio y en zona tranquila PIenso que no cuesta nada poner unas películas a los cristales de más puertas o cambiarlas , no hay las más mínima privacidad y la presión del agua de los baños es muy muy poca. De ahí en fuera lo recomiendo al 1000

Ficamos encantados com a casa! Dormir com o som do mar foi uma das melhores experiências da viagem — algo que, pessoalmente, é ainda mais incrível do que as fotos mostram. A casa é extremamente limpa, aconchegante e bem cuidada. Fomos recebidos com muito carinho pelo Rafael e Lu, que foram super atenciosos e simpáticos. O Francisco também foi incrível: desde o primeiro contato, sempre prestativo e ainda nos mandou várias dicas do que fazer na região. Mas confesso que mal conseguimos sair da casa — ficamos tão encantados com o lugar que só queríamos aproveitar a vista. Já estou contando os dias para voltar, e na próxima vez quero explorar todas as dicas do Francisco! Nossa cachorrinha também se divertiu demais na praia. Foi uma experiência inesquecível!

Espectacular casa! Muy cómoda y en un lugar privilegiado. En las mañanas llegan cisnes de cuello negro y caiquenes a la orilla de la casa. 100% recomendado! Una experiencia.

I can’t say enough how lovely this home was. I have never stayed at an Airbnb so well equipped. It had everything we could possibly need and more, and made travel with young kiddos so much easier. Joost provided beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkels, sand toys, pool toys and so much more. The kitchen had every appliance, pan, utensils you could need, and the place itself was just beautiful with the most beautiful view. This place is a MUST STAY. Thank you Joost for putting so much thought into your place it was truly the most perfect stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Punta Preciosa. The location is beautiful and private. The beach was virtually deserted most of the time. The swimming was fantastic and it was also nice to walk along the sandy beach early in the morning and watch the Scarlet Macaws and other birds. Pascal was an excellent host. He was very responsive to my inquiries and often responded within the hour. He has created a very helpful digital welcome book which you receive access to after booking. He helped arranged excellent tours for us, all of which I would recommend - kayak tour of the mangrove, boat And snorkelling tour of the Gulf, a night walk and a trip to Corcovado. The house is very nice and is tastefully and comfortably furnished. The gas stove and oven took some figuring out but worked well. There is no microwave or dishwasher. The main floor is open to the air so there were some insects at night but using the fan and insect repellent helped. We would love to go back again.

Luiz foi extremamente solícito e gentil, nos recebeu super bem, respondeu rápido, deu dicas incríveis e apresentou a casa. O ambiente é lindo, arejado, cheio de personalidade e história. A vista nem se fala, é um espetáculo a parte, beleza pra todo canto. Cama confortável, cozinha bem equipada e sala super confortável. Recomendo demais e com certeza voltarei em breve!

Segunda vez que me hospedo, é uma experiência divina!

Amazing flat with one of the best views of Ipanema! it looks just like the pictures if not better. super close to the beach and the location in general is great with loads of botecos, stores, etc. Julie as a host was amazing, always super responsive and gave us loads of tips. Will definitely try staying here the next time I'm in Rio!

I really enjoyed my stay! The apartment was absolutely gorgeous and had a great location - it is literally across the street from the beach! Camille was extremely helpful and responsive during my stay, even sending my friend and I several recommendations for activities to do in Rio. The location of the apartment is great, with great local restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. It is also just a quick Uber ride away from big attractions like Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer. Overall, I had a great experience and would stay again if I came back to Rio.

Mahassa home was exactly what we wanted as exactly as she stated!!! When they greeted us immediately it felt like we were staying g with family. Even throughout our stay she answered questions we had even helped me when I thought I left something back at house. She made it a priority for her. I would 150% stay here again the next time we travel back to one happy place! Worth every dollar! Can’t say enough nice things about this host and her home.

This was quite literally the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The place was absolutely pristine, very well decorated, smelled amazing, and had every possible amenity you could need. I was very impressed with the set up and how luxurious the is place felt, extremely comfortable bed/pillows, and high quality towels for bath and pool. Will definitely only stay in Andre’s places in Cartagena if they hold this top of the line standard. Also if you need to wash/dry clothes this place has brand new washer/dryer which is rare for Colombia.

We were 2 adults and 2 kids staying in Sean's beautiful place. It's big, plenty of space and a balcony with unbelievable views! The best thing was a private beach just a few steps away, perfect for relaxing and swimming. Another bigger beach is about 10-15 minutes to walk or a couple minute drive. We came during off season so it was very quiet which was perfect for us. We also walked about 10 min to the Marina for a boat tour which was very convenient. Thank you, Sean!

Tivemos uma estadia maravilhosa nesse apartamento em Cumbuco! O lugar é simplesmente lindo, com uma vista incrível do mar. O apartamento é pé na areia, super privativo, confortável e muito limpo — exatamente como nas fotos. A localização é excelente, perfeita para quem quer descansar e aproveitar a natureza com tranquilidade. A única observação é que a praia em frente tem ondas fortes, o que pode não ser ideal para crianças ou quem busca um mar mais calmo, mas para quem gosta de observar o mar ou praticar esportes como kitesurf, é um verdadeiro paraíso. Recomendo muito e com certeza voltaria!

Excellent place. Highly recommend!

Juliana was wonderful and so was the Airbnb. There is someone who watches over the gate which made us feel extra safe and comfortable. The street was very quiet compared to other parts of the walled city and was not too far from all of the best restaurants.
