Perfect beach house on a beautiful beach

The beach house was perfect for two couples to stay a few days enjoying the beach and local restaurants. It was clean and I loved the decorations. The personalized guidebook was amazing and very accurate.

This tiny beach house was perfect for us. We loved being steps away from the ocean. It was simplistic, but it was incredibly relaxing, and we enjoyed the area which was definitely frequented mostly by locals. Our neighbors were very friendly. We would definitely return. They had loungers on the patio and we did bring them down to the beach, my only criticism would be that it would be nice to have lightweight, regular sand chairs. The barbecue was awesome. We cooked several meals and ate on the quaint little table in the front of the house. We would definitely return.

Excellent location with a helpful host

A beautiful little beach house (definitely little) which was perfect for 2 of us. Behind the house is a sun trap, out of the wind - great for cooler days. Wonderful cafes just a few houses away. The host, Paulo, was quick to answer any messages and very helpful.

Lovely beach house

Me and my husband stayed for a week and honestly we were ready to book in for another week straight away!The house is great and had everything you could need for a short stay.The location was incredible and a literal stones throw from the beach.We'd recommend going to cafe do Zé along the board walk from the house for morning coffee and a croissant.Weekends are really busy so expect to park elsewhere along the beach and walk back to the house. Overall we loved it and would recommend anyone to stay.

My wife and I absolutely loved it at the Faro beach house. To be honest, we were a little concerned when we saw the pictures of the beach and there was no one on it. But we were pleasantly surprised when we first laid eyes on this amazing house and an even more beach. Calm, warm water and exuding the relaxing beach vibe. We both can’t say enough about how much we loved this place. Only problem was we only stayed 3 nightsAll said and done, we would without a doubt stay again (longer next time) and would recommend it to all. Great communication from the host and he even treated us to a bottle of cold wine waiting in the fridge. If you are considering going to Faro do your self a favor and stay here. You will NOT regret it

Beautiful spot for a relaxing vacation

Paulo’s place is perfect for a beach getaway. Seconds from the beach it’s almost like you have your own procure spot on an otherwise idyllic beach. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and the #16 bus takes you straight into Faro. The fish market at Faro is incredible and I couldn’t recommend it more. The barbecue is charcoal so make sure you bring some if you want to grill!! Local restaurants are excellent and very reasonable. You ça. Catch both sunrise and sunsets from the house which can be fantastic. I could not recommend this place more and we hope to return in the future!

We enjoyed our beach Christmas. We loved walking over to the 2 cafes. Plenty of blankets to snuggle in at night. Plenty of dining options even in the off season. Easy to get to by Uber or ferry, there is also a bus but the construction on the bridge means the stop is far away. For Uber, make sure you look at google maps so you can get from the street to the house easily. Once you’ve done it it’s easy but the first time in the dark can be fun! There is a local airport however there only seem to be flights during the day so not disturbing. Great recommendations were left by the host!

Glorious holiday had

A super property right by the sea. Well equipped and comfortable. If you are looking for a simple getaway then this is the place to be. Right from booking to arrival and departure everything ran smoothly. There was a need to contact the owner and his response was rapid and helpful. In offering constructive feedback (and this is not a complaint) it would have been lovely to receive a maid service on day 3 or 4 to change beds and towels alongside sweep through - given the location there was a need to clear away sand deposited by us which we did with good humour. We will definitely be booking this accommodation again though - thankyou to all involved

Schöne Lage, aber....

schöne Lage, aber ein nerviger Hund neben an. Kein eigener Parkplatz zum Haus gehörig. Wer mit Mietwagen anreist, muss hoffen einen freien Platz zu ergattern. Der öffentliche Parkplatz ist 10 min zu Fuß entfernt. Die Flughafennähe ist für die Anreise angenehm, aber der einhergehende Lärm am Haus nicht. Wir hatten bei der Buchung gehofft, das uns dies nicht stören wird, aber das Frühstück auf der Terrasse wurde doch durch den Fluglärm sehr gestört. Teilweise konnte man sich nicht einmal mehr unterhalten. Die traumhafte Lage wurde leider dadurch geschmälert. Wen dies nicht stört, der ist hier gut aufgehoben, aber für uns war dies eben nichts. Wer Urlaub auf dieser Insel machen will, muss sich dessen bewusst sein. Erholung sieht für uns anders aus. Man kann an den Strand flüchten, da ist es dann einigermaßen erträglich. Das Haus selber ist in die Jahre gekommen, es riecht muffig, die Kücheneinrichtung sollte mal aufgefrischt werden, ( Schranktür fehlt, abgegriffen) und kleinere Reparatur arbeiten stehen an. (Türgriffrosette, Duschkopfhalterung,..aber das sind nur Kleinigkeiten) Für mich passt aber das gesamte Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht. Was man bezahlt ist die Nähe zum Strand, das Haus selber ist es nicht wert. Es hat etwas mehr vom Camping als Wohnen am Meer.

Throughly Enjoyed

We enjoyed ourselves, the internal furniture could have been a bit more comfortable. The only downside was the parking and yapping dogs at night, none of which is the owners fault. Would recommend this stay to anyone …

Les pieds dans l’eau

Petite maison de bord de plage bien équipée. Le manque de climatisation n’est pas gênant car les soirées sont fraîches même en août. La plage est à quelques pas. Tout le nécessaire de cuisine est disponible. La proximité de l’aéroport peut être pratique mais être aussi une nuisance. Paulo est très à l’écoute et disponible.

PERFECT COTTAGE ON THE PRAIA DE FARO BEACH

Step out of the cottage right onto the beach.. dunes, beach, water and pure magical blue sky and sunshine.. this little cottage is cool and fresh, decorated throughout in white and blue with a nautical feel.. lots of idyllic beach walking and exploring the fishermen cottage areas of the peninsular along wooden walkways.. this is a truly relaxing place to visit and recharge your batteries!
