A great place to stay

This house is well represented by the information on line and when you arrive it's just as you expect. It's clean, well equipped and a nice place to be. Pedro is a pleasant and very helpful man who does anything he can to make your stay a good one. Within walking distance is a very good restaurant and a couple of shops but you really do need a car to get out and about and the island is certainly worth looking around, so much natural beauty and there really is stunning scenery in any direction you look. We had a great holiday and hope if you book this place you do too.

Perfect Hidden Gem. Home from home.

Simply perfect !!!!!! As a family of four, there is plenty of room to relax and unwind. Situated on the edge of town Surf Beach- Santa Barbara is perfect for joining in or getting away from it all, The house has everything you need for your comfortable stay, we loved it!!! It is a short stroll to the best beach on the island, which we visited every evening, after our full days exploreing this Amazing island. Thank you Pedro. We've all had an amazing time!

Great for family vacations

This is a fantastic property located in an island-central village and was exactly what we wanted. While Ponta Delgada has more of an urban feel - we wanted something just a little off the beaten path but still easy access to amenities. The house is a walk or short drive to restaurants, the market, small cafés, and the beach yet retains the quaint, Azores village feeling we wanted. The house was well appointed with many kitchen tools, extra towels/linens, washer/dryer, back yard, late-day sun deck, parking, and high speed wifi. It even had some toys and games for the kids! Our host was terrific and accommodated our early check-in/late check-out requests. The host was responsive (less than 5 min responses over WhatsApp). Highly recommended - you won't be disappointed!

Why they chose this property

This property is my pride, every detail was designed with love and care to provide calmness, comfort and that unique familiar feeling that you only can feel on special places. It is spacious, beautifully furnished and equipped. It´s central key location makes it very popular to explore the island and the friendly neighbourhood combined with nearby amenities makes it perfect for families. Around 10 minutes from the beach by foot.

What makes this property unique

I will personally receive you with a big smile. Very spacious and beautiful lawn with lovely friendly birds, you can feed them, you can see the sheer happiness on your family members as they interact with these pets, that alone is not easy to find anywhere.
