We couldn’t believe how perfect this house is. The house itself: impeccably clean and comfortable. There is a room with a large table and comfortable chairs where you can open all the sliding doors on three sides to the ocean - it was heaven. Kitchen, perfect. Bedrooms, perfect. Bathrooms/showers, perfect. Laundry and dishwasher worked perfectly. Zone A/C in all rooms if desired, although we kept the windows open for the ocean air! So many windows and outdoor balcony spaces which were wonderful. And, not a single, solitary insect the whole time we were there. The setting: this beautiful house is RIGHT ON THE BEACH at Praia dos Moinhos - a lovely, uncrowded beach. We woke each morning to having the beach to ourselves!!!! And even when others arrived it was sparsely populated! The sand is great and it is perfect for swimming. And there are even lifeguards!!! And a cafe with music and delicious food. The island is small - and the location of the house was a convenient base to be able to reach all areas! The hosts: Communication was fantastic. They were friendly, helpful, and very responsive!!! They helped with travel/airport questions, and sky questions we had from the initial booking to a change in dates to adding a person to any house questions were answered right away! (And for any future guests, we did enjoy visits from a very distinguished cat each day - we read that the island collectively takes care of the cats since they are good for keeping mice away! We loved him!)
