Waterfront vacation rentals in Vila Real de Santo António

The apartment was fabulous! Very spacious , beautifully decorated and clean . It was very close to lots of restaurants and shops . The beautiful white sandy beach was a short ferry ride away and there were beach towels and umbrellas in the apartment to take with us . Olhao is an amazing place and I would definitely go back (and stay at Miguel’s apartment again ).

Beautiful place in a lovely location (quick walk down to the beach!) with such a lovely & knowledgeable host, Patricia. It was so peaceful and we had such a great time. The beach nearby was so nice - peaceful and beautiful with nice sand. I worked remotely for the days we were there and the internet was great for video calls. We didn’t use the kitchen much however noticed it was fully stocked with all the necessary essentials. We definitely want to spend a longer time here in the future.

Fantastic apartment, remodeled and well decorated. Very well situated. It has everything you need for a good vacation, including equipped kitchen. We went as a couple, with the little girl and Mafalda, she was ready to put on a travel bed. I hope to return.

Beautiful place and area.

The host, Ann, was very nice. Good communication and informative. Good kitchen facilities. Washing machine for laundry and clothes line on terrace. Great sea views and amazing sunsets from the balcony. Great walks along the multiple boardwalks leading to beaches and the inlet where the fishing boats go to Isla Christina. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Patricia's apartment is perfect for a quiet stay on Isla Canela. It is tastefully decorated and perfectly equipped, down to the last detail, and everything is completely new and of high quality. The views from the whole house are amazing. We weren't very lucky with the weather, but just being in the living room and enjoying the ocean view was worth it. Patricia was attentive at all times to anything we needed. This will certainly be our apartment of reference for our visits to Isla Canela.

The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The apartment has everything you need and is very close to bars and the beach.

Steffanie was great at check-in, she met us there early and talked us through the place. Lovely apartment with a great pool that our girls loved even in the cooler weather. The apartment is close to a nice street full of restaurants and bars. We took a taxi to Tavira a few times as we loved exploring there.

It was a good experience, the house was cozy and the location was very good.

Just wow! Rita met us to check us in and contacted us several times to make sure all was well. Any little issues were addressed right away, kindly and professionally. The little house was clean and cozy with great patio to enjoy a glass of wine with a view to the distant sea. We loved everything and Rita is wonderful!!!! Can’t recommend highly enough. Hope to return!

Sandras place was amazing, its right on the beach and a 30 second walk to the restaurants. It was amazing waking up each morning to the sound of the sea, the place has 3 terraces that you can lounge on and the view from the hot tub on the roof is one not to miss. The kitchen is well layed out with all you need if you want to cook. Sandra was very helpful via text if we ever needed her and she gave us recommendations of where to eat etc. We will be returning to stay again for sure.

Had an amazing time here and underestimated how good the location is. Easy to jump in and out of the fun of Albufeira and an easy walk to public parking. Marina was super responsive and communicated well. Wish we could stay longer!

Teresa is amazing - the place is terrific. Really well located yet quiet. I’m a quite tall so I am not always suitable for Portuguese homes, but the home is perfect in every way. Very quaint very clean and very comfortable.

Gorgeous time. Recommend to anyone. Would come back.

This was a great base for a holiday in Tavira. The accommodation was perfect in every way - spotlessly clean and tidy with well thought out decor. We particularly loved the well equipped kitchen. Manuel, our host was very responsive and even though we got to Tavira quite late, his Dad was there to meet and greet us. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

The flat was wonderful and Santa Luzia feels like a real Portuguese village without too many tourists. The boat to the beach is a couple of minutes away. Kitchen has everything you need and the bedrooms are comfortable. Wonderful stay.

Excellent stay. Rui was very responsive and helpful. It does require for you to know exactly when you are arriving and leaving as there is no remote access. The place was beautiful, clean, modern and with easy access to old town Albufeira. Would 100% recommend to everyone looking to visit Albufeira but also have options for private pool, great views and walkable to both old town Albufeira.

We stayed as a group for a special birthday, as we were arriving late we asked the host to purchase a bottle of wine and some snacks for arrival (there is a welcome basket there also) and Marnix was extremely accommodating. The location is beautiful, views of the ocean and the beach is a 2 minute walk down the hill. It is a little bit pricey but I felt it was really good value as split between the group it was more than affordable but you do get what you pay for. There is an indoor and outdoor pool (we only used this on the last day). The location is a short walk into the new town strip area and around 7euros into old town via a bolt, this was also for x-large bolt as we were a party of 6. I would definitely recommend, it a beautiful villa, in a gorgeous location. Thank you for all your help as you are a very responsive host and so helpful.

I can’t praise/recommend this property and Susana as our host enough, we were a group of 4 female friends travelling for a long weekend break away, from fantastic communication to flexible check in times, spotlessly clean apartment and complex, great accessories provided including pool towels and umbrella, everything is as described, the pictures do not do it justice, the apartment is much bigger than you expect with 2 balconies each side catching sunrise and sunset. We walked downhill to the marina and local supermarket/bar & restaurant and easily ordered Ubers back up to the complex, only costing a couple of Euros. An Uber into Old Town is just as easy to order costing approx 7€. The complex is very secure with gated/key access, it is quiet and respectful with a security guard walking round day and evening. We have had a fantastic trip and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Susana again, thank you so much.

Favorite part of the stay, very clean apartment, a super nice terrace with ocean views. The beach is across the street, I highly recommend it

Communication with Karine was perfect and the accommodation very nice. Everything matched the description and images. Thank you, we will be happy to come back.

The accommodation is just as shown in the photos, spectacular. Ideal for a couple. Very easy and quick to communicate with Ana and Jesus, who recommended places to visit and restaurants in the area. We'll repeat.

The place was gorgeous, right next to the beach. The balcony was our favorite part about the apartment, we enjoyed every single evening there. Thank you for a little welcome package! Would definitely come back anytime in Albufeira.

Maura our host was really helpful and responded to all queries. She welcomed us at the arranged arrival time and talked us through everything we needed to know. The apartment was really lovely and spotlessly clean. Maura provided a list of recommendations such as places to visit and local restaurants and welcomed us with a selection of local produce. We would thoroughly recommend.
