A very cool place to lay your head for a few evenings. Old world charm on the ocean with easy access to all corners of the island and airport. The home came equipped with everything needed for an extended stay (an extra beach towel or two would have been an asset). I was travelling with my two university aged kids, the only downside being the smaller mattress in the loft was a bit thin and didn’t provide the best sleep. All in all I’d recommend this location in a heartbeat, and would be eager to stay again. The owner was very responsive and check-in was a breeze. The fresh fruit and local bread was a welcome surprise when we checked in.

We loved our stay here. The house has a lot of character (which we loved) and the views from the top floor and the cliff walk are AMAZING. The house was very clean, and there was a good supply of towels and bedding. There are some good restaurants a short drive away, a large grocery store, and you can walk along the path into the center of town and take a dip in the natural pool there! The only tricky things were the spiral staircase (could be difficult for some, but there is a bedroom and the bathroom downstairs) and the parking spot along the roadway is tight but manageable. Overall, we’d highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for something outside a sterile hotel experience. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Spot

The view through the gate and sitting on the cliffs was awesome, better than we expected. The cliff walk was also fantastic. The inside of cottage was close to what we expected. A traditional azorean home. Plenty of space for our needs and clean. As far as I could tell there was no central heating, but the space heaters were enough. Parking is on the road but we could always find a spot across the street on the sidewalk, which is what the locals do. The town was quaint and had it been warmer, I would have been in natural pools. Lastly, communication with owner was five stars!

Quaint oceanfront bungalow

We enjoyed staying at this property for four nights in early April, 2025. Although our weather was chilly and at times rainy, this property had a warm cozy feel to it. It was ample room for just the two of us and we enjoyed using the woodstove nightly and an ample supply of firewood was available. Joana, the owner welcomed us with a nice gift of fruit, bread and jam. One issue with the washing machine, was quickly resolved by a simple call to her.A walking trail borders the back of the property and separates it from the cliffs to the ocean. A great place for walking!

Sea side retreat in quaint small town

Our stay was so lovely! We really enjoyed how close the house was to the water- we walked to the natural pool every day, made friends with the locals, and enjoyed exploring nearby attractions. The house itself is old and charming with modern conveniences that make it very comfortable. Joana was a very helpful host and always accommodated any questions I had. We will be back!

Stone Cottage on the Sea

We enjoyed our stay. Joana was very helpful and responsive with all of our questions. The cottage has a garden with access directly to a wonderful cliff walk along the ocean. The only caution I would give is that to get here you have to drive down a very narrow, steep street.

A very cute and cozy house by the sea.

My husband and I stayed at this charming house while vacationing in the Azores. We had everything we needed there including a washing machine. The host was very sweet and helpful. Just a text away. She responds quickly. It’s in a good central location of the island.

Ocean Refuge Indeed!

We loved our stay in Casa da Beira Mar! an updated and charming fisherman's cottage with all of its original charm! The sound of the ocean filled our two week stay, and the changing colours of the ocean and sky were a delight. We fully expected to spend a great deal of time "at home" on this trip because of rain, etc but we totally lucked out on the weather! it was beautiful most days! we did take full advantage of the home's cozy ambiance with a fire most evenings! Joana was a delight to deal with and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and convenient. one thing does make me a bit sad , however was to see how many of the lovely old cottages were being torn down to make modern, gated, closed off edifices! Enjoyed the quiet, the slow pace, and most of all the landscape! such a beautiful place!

Seaside paradise

We stayed in Joana’s lovely seaside home on the north coast of Sao Miguel for 6 nights in May. The photos show the property accurately, and the back yard with access to the sea is amazing. The location is fairly central for island exploring, but not in the center of Ponta Delgada - just the right mix for us. With our car rental, it was easy to get to grocery shopping and restaurants. Communication with Joana was easy, and there was a good information book provided.

Beautiful house. We really enjoyed the layout and loft area. Well equipped with everything you might need and some wonderful little welcome food/gifts. Loved the back walk to the shoreline and cliffs.
