Waterfront apartment accommodation

Amazing view. You'll love it
Anabela's apartment is just great. It is very clean, modernly furnished and very well equipped. Especially great is the view of the conservatory, where you can spend a great time even on rainy days. Anabela was also a great host. She actively supported us with all our questions and was very accommodating with extra requests. We had a great time at Anabela's Airbnb and felt very comfortable there. We will definitely come back!

Casa do Remo, Aguda Beach
The house is small, but it is very well used and everything was very clean. Same or better than the pictures. It's just a few steps 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 tools such as an iron, 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 kind. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous View Refuge over Coimbra
A charming accommodation on top of a hill with a lovely view overlooking the city. Sophia welcomed us warmly and we had a comfortable two night stay.

Home Sweet Home Aveiro Apartment 41796 AL
We had a great stay. Great location for seeing Aveiro. Jorge and Beatriz were very responsive.

Stayinportobe
we had a wonderful stay. nice apartment close to beach, shop and restaurants. Visit to Porto. Handy to then take an uber taxi!

Rainha Santa Isabel Apartment
the flat is very homy. the decor is a bit dated, but I think that's part of the appeal. in a way, it carries the original point of airbnb, as it feels you're staying in a home that is lived in. it's very well equipped, and the hosts had the courtesy of stocking the fridge somewhat for our arrival. the beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious and clean. the hosts were very accommodating in allowing an early checkin. we highly recommend it and will definitely return.

Mar e Dunas - Modern oceanside apartment
We Had the best time in Praia de Tocha with Simone and her Family. 10/10 highly recommended

❤Mills between the Ria and the Sea

Murçainho's House
Beautiful, quiet and peaceful place. Very natural and at the same time not far from visits: Aveiro and seaside. Atypical and ecological house. Perfect! Andrea gave us a good welcome and is very attentive to our requests. We recommend without a problem!

The Cantinho do Sobreiral
We had a great time at Antonio's place. It had everything we needed and he was a great host. the place is lovely with a private garden and pool with amazing views! we will definitely come again

Casa Meireles, Douro
Mr. José was impeccable, communication was facilitated, he was extremely flexible in order to make the experience as comfortable as possible. The impeccable space and the divine outdoor area! I highly recommend it!

Quinta do Arieiro
The house is nice, very spacious and clean. We spent 3 days as a family with our pet and we didn't miss anything. Inés' recommendations were very accurate and the place is quiet and easy to visit. The weather was quite pleasant during our stay and helped us sleep at night. Without a doubt, the description of the house and the site is 100% reliable and of course, I recommend it for sure.

Bird’s Home
Sergio's apartment is impeccable, just as it appears in the photos, the Turkish bath is amazing, the barbecue space too, everything in general, 8 minutes from the center, super well located and easy to get to, Sergio is very friendly, attentive and answers very quickly, my partner and I had a great time, I'm sure we'll be back.

Villa, swimming pool, natural lake, forest, and AC
This place was so magical. A big group of us came to stay for a half marathon in Aveiro and it was the perfect weekend - the pool was fabulous, the pond was so meditative, the sunrises were beautiful. The rooms were all super comfortable (3 of them en-suites plus additional shared bathrooms) and the kitchen was great to cook in. We were going to have lunch in Aveiro after the race but decided to head back to chill by the pool and have a bbq because it’s such a relaxing place. Plenty of space for everyone. We even had to stay an extra night because of the nationwide blackout and João and his family were so kind and accommodating - in the end we were so grateful we got to spend an extra night in this wonderful place! Can’t recommend highly enough and would love to come back in future.

Beach House (Plage/Beach) Aguda PRT
The location is really fantastic, although you can't go to sleep before midnight on weekends when the weather is nice. The hustle and bustle on the promenade sometimes goes on until the early hours of the morning.

Bloomoon House: House on the Aveiro Lagoon, with swimming pool
Really nice place to stay and by far the best host we have met. Really kind and proactive with providing tips.

Surf Stories - Beach Getaway (Praia de Esmoriz)
Diana was an amazing host. Her communication was quick and polite. I had a flight delay and arrived a day late and she was very accommodating. The house was modern and spotless. There are some fantastic local restaurants near to the flat. The sea is very close. I fear this will become a very popular flat in the future and one will need to book along time in advance. Thank you Diana .

Barra Beach - Lighthouse House
I recently stayed at Urbiluso Airbnb and had an amazing experience! The space was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Urbiluso was incredibly responsive. I felt very comfortable and safe throughout my stay. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area!

Luxury Beachfront Penthouse | Pools & Ocean views
A beautiful apartment with absolutely everything you could need for a family holiday! Natacha’s place is spotlessly clean, lots of space and so many little extras it really felt like a home from home. The views of the sea and the sunset from the balcony were amazing! The pool was huge and clean and the surrounding area peaceful but close enough to Porto and Gaia by bike or a quick Uber ride. There is a boardwalk and cycle path just across the road that goes all the way down the beach to Porto. There is a supermarket nearby and some lovely beach bars and restaurants along the front. Natacha was a perfect host - friendly and very responsive and helpful with lots of ideas and suggestions for our stay. Our teenage girls loved the surf lessons that Natacha suggested and we had lots to do and lots of sights to see. Thank you Natacha for the perfect stay. We recommend 100% and would definitely stay again!

Atenas Studio - Best View in Coimbra Downton
Perfect location for a solo traveler, staying just one night in Coimbra. what I loved was how walkable the apartment was to everything, from the city center to the gardens to the university. And then all of the river walk being so accessible and close was a huge bonus. I really enjoyed my overnight here and found the apartment to have what I needed. Eduardo and Manuela were responsive and helpful!

Sun, Sky and Sea, beachfront apartment with pool.
We have never experienced such a well-maintained, clean and well-equipped apartment. It corresponds 100% to the photos. There is a large underground parking lot. The landlord Manuel took care of things proactively and asked several times if everything was okay. The location is right on the main beach of Esmoriz, separated only by the waterfront road. However, it should be noted that at the end of August, a fair takes place right in front of the house with corresponding volume in the afternoon and evening.

Condo w/ balcony, lagoon view, São Jacinto, Aveiro
Ana is a very friendly host. She gave clear instructions about how to get to the appartment and always answered my questions. The appartment was very nice and clean. It is located at walking distance from the ferry to Aveiro.

Sea You Espinho
Antonio's apartment is well equipped. We found everything we needed. We were warmly welcomed, although we arrived very late in the evening. Antonio is a great host who also gave us some good recommendations. The location is great for beautiful excursions to Porto, Aveiro, the Douro Valley... We felt very comfortable.

Cozy apartment 80m from the beach.
A magnificent apartment in the modern house, with super nice decor. Very stylishly decorated with Portuguese charm! Everything top and clean! Best location, 1 minute to beach, kiosk, bakery and several restaurants with cheap but great food, where even police officers go out for dinner during their break! To the train station 10 minutes, to Porto about 35 minutes. To Lidl also only about 10 minutes. "Quiet" location but in the middle of the locals, the fishermen provide the rest of the authentic flair! We will be back!
