Beachfront vacation rentals in Vila Nova de Gaia

A very well-equipped house in a lovely seaside village, larger than the photos make it seem. Antonio greeted us like we were old friends and was really helpful with a couple of logistical issues caused by our late arrival. Miramar is a smashing little spot with a couple of nice eateries. 20 minutes on the train from central Porto and half an hour walk down the beach to the more bustling village of Aguda.

The house is small, but it is very well used and everything was very clean. Same or better than the pictures. It is located a short walk from the beach, which is ideal. The beds are very comfortable and allow a good rest. The kitchen, although compact, is fully equipped, and also has many utensils. It also has several useful items such as an iron, hair dryer, fan... Whatever you are looking for and need, you will find it. The decor gives it a unique and cozy touch. Rui was always attentive and very friendly. Highly recommended!

Jorge & Susana are brilliant hosts. they are always responsive and proactive in offering suggestions. the house was perfect for what we needed. Great restaurants in walking distance and a 20 minute Bolt ride into Porto. We would strongly recommend.

Raquel was a wonderful host! The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. She was really helpful and provided great local recommendations. Communication was clear and friendly throughout. I’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

The house is located by the sea (the beach is less than 5 min walk) and overlooks a garden. We had a lovely stay there and were able to easily visit the surroundings (Gaia, Aveiro, Porto). Special mention for Hugo who is very available and gives good advice.

The place has beautiful personalized decoration, very comfortable, spectacular dinner table chairs :) The only thing, for people who have “problems climbing stairs”, you a have everything you need (bedroom, complete wc, kitchen, etc.) downstairs, but the best terrace with a sea spectacular sea view, along with 2 other bedrooms, is on the second floor.. The 5 star host Tiago, was always available. Surely recommend!

We had a pleasant stay in the dune house, the bedding is perfect, and the apartment is very clean. The terrace is very pleasant, facing the ocean with magnificent sunset views. There is a beautiful walk along the beach, restaurants and bars within walking distance. The kitchen is very good, there is an oven and even a dishwasher. It just lacks a few kitchen accessories like a salad spinner, there is only one salad bowl for example, it lacks a little equipment for people who really want to cook. And the only negative point is the noise from the road, cars and motorcycles pass very quickly at night, it's less disturbing with the window closed but it was hot, and we slept with the window open. We are delighted with our stay and the house is as described.

I loved my stay in Bruno's beautiful apartment. It was a real home from home. Beautifully furnished and immaculately clean. It had everything you could need. The building is quiet and well located for public transport to Porto or to the beach . It's possible to walk to the beach and the nature reserve. Bruno is a fantastic host. Very responsive and gave clear instructions. I will definitely be back.

Great stay, good location and as described. Amazing support after our stay. We forgot a tablet in the appartment and they were amazing helping us out to have it ship to our home. Very efficient and supportive.

The quiet area with dunes and sea views, a great bed and a great shower, were fundamental elements of our experience in this apartment. The most unpleasant thing was the communication with those responsible for the accommodation: all the people I exchanged messages with were kind and diligent to respond but the fact that they referred us to a website asking for more data and more procedures (in addition to those provided here on Airbnb) made me angry and frustrated. In this process of exchanging messages I had to do what I consider a disproportionate effort for a simple booking. For the sake of the next guests, I hope you can improve on the simplification of the process! I appreciate the flexibility and kindness you had at check-in and check-out!

truly fantastic experience staying in Manuel's studio. the studio has all it needs, amazing light, massive rooftop terrace with a sea view and some handy chairs and lounge chairs. location is great, with fun beach bars within walking distance, the lagune for bird watching , some handy shops and nice restaurants. Manuel was a great host, quick communication, very clear. thanks Manuel!

A beautiful Villa with a nice pool and barbecue outside we all love it we are definitely coming back again. Highly recommended.

We had a fabulous week at Lettia. It is about 25 minutes away from downtown Porto and right across the river from Matosinhos; which is a lovely city in itself. There are so many restaurants in the area you can eat in or get take out. The villa was exactly as pictured and our boys thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub every day. We had breakfast delivered everyday which consisted of an abundance of breads and pastries and fresh orange juice. They also stocked the fridge prior to our arrival with cheese, fruit, water, milk, ham and yogurt. You are not too far from the beach and can enjoy Leca da Palmeira or the beach in Matosinhos. The e-bikes were great to use to go the grocery store. Rita and her Dad made us feel right at home and were extremely responsive. Thank you for a terrific stay.

Perfect stay and very clean accommodation!

Chris and Alex were lovely hosts and made sure we knew how everything worked in the apartment and also informed us of things to do in Porto and how to get around! The apartment has everything we needed and everything was as advertised! Beds were comfortable and the apartment was clean and cozy! Chris and Alex both went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was the best it could be. Great hosts and would highly recommend!

we had a fantastic stay the apartment was very tidy plenty of space areas available outside to sun bathe or shade in and a great location Hugo communication was fab we would definatley reccomend and would stay again !

The apartment is lovely and has a gorgeous view. It is a little far from the center of town, if that is a consideration, but for us it was very nice.

A wonderful stay! The place is about half an hour from Porto, easy drive. As expected right on the beach with a view that we can never get tired of. Smooth check in and the place was super clean and comfortable. Beds are comfortable and there are shutters to block the light if you like to sleep in. Noise from board walk doesn't get to the bed rooms. Kitchen was great so easy breakfasts, coffee and reheating food. Great access to beach toys and umbrellas for beach days. The host was very accommodating and responsive which we hugely appreciated. There are lots of lovely restaurants around and we spent a couple days in the city, some in the hills and some enjoying the coast. It's a perfect mix of city break with the beach air. Thank you for an amazing stay, highly recommended.

Everything went well :) The house is just like the pictures.

Excellent stay at Antonio's, the boat is quiet and close to everything: restaurants, beach, water activities... Antonio is very friendly and explains everything well. The place is super clean, the sheets are fresh. An ideal retreat from the world for a few days. I'll be back!

We had a great time in Porto! The appartment is right next to the beach and just 10 minutes by car away from the city center. We were very glad about all the equipment in the appartment like herbs, oil etc in the kitchen, cremes, lotions, showergel etc in the bathroom, many tovels in general, bags for shopping, some stuff for the beach and much more. The check in was flexible and Maria was so lovely. She showed us some maps about Porto and told us about some events. She also left some sweets for us. Everything was clean, TV and Wifi worked perfectly. Probably my next vacation will be in another country to explore to world, but I highly recommend this appartment to my family, friends and all of you.

Very nice apartment, as described and shown in photos. Antonio is very welcoming and accommodating the view from the apartment is just amazing Antonio's touches like coffee, dishwasher pods and laundry are a very nice addition. i recommend this listing

It was a really nice and pleasant stay. The view is great Same as the apartment. It was nicely clean. The kitchen was one of the best parts. It was very nice to find even some spices and other stuff there which you would not usually buy when you only stay a few days. All in all a good and nice stay would recommend.

Spacious apartment with large balcony giving a glimpse of the Douro through the trees. Major benefit was secure onsite parking and accessible public transport to central Porto within 100 yds. Apartment well equipped and everything worked though I suspect the oven might need some TLC before long.
