Lovely home, stunning views, excellent service
We loved our week at the Blue Sea Cottage! It was a lovely property with a modern and stylish vibe, stunning sea views, a beautiful yard with heated pool, and excellent privacy. Our host Bill provided impeccable directions and advice on Madeira. He and his team were easily reachable and highly responsive. The check-in process was very smooth and straightforward. Highly recommend for couples or families looking for a peaceful, enjoyable stay in Madeira.

Could have been better.
Host provided helpful instructions prior to arrival.
Self check in was easy.
Coffee tea & milk were provided.
We could not use pool on our 1st & 2nd day while maintenance was working on the pool.
We were asked to fill the pool with water before we could use it which felt like another inconvenience.
The pool is smaller than it looked in the listing pictures & has cheap fake tile liner glued to it.
The washing machine was not working & although it was impressive to have it fixed within a day, having workers on property again was another intrusion during our stay.
Showers have no shelf to put soaps, master shower does not drain well, fills up with water.
Dish drainer needs to be replaced as it has black in the corners (also mentioned in prior 6/30/24 review)
The gate does not always close with remote & you have to manually close it. (also mentioned in prior 6/12/24 review)
House next-door is very close & was noisier than what we would’ve liked.
Yes we could have communicated all these concerns during our 5 day stay but after the intrusions & need to send several messages regarding the pool & washing machine the first 2 days we decided to disconnect & enjoy the rest of our time off our phones.
Overall the house & view are beautiful, but the entire property needs attention. Based on this & all the little things adding up, unfortunately our experience was not a much-needed peaceful stay & we did not feel that we received value for the price & would not recommend or stay here again

Lovely get away in Madeira
This is a lovely property in a great location - quiet and peaceful with lovely views.
You definitely need a car due to its location, but there is gated off street parking.
The villa itself is clean, well presented and has great WiFi (I was able to work without any issue one afternoon).
The pool was a hit with the children and the adults enjoyed watching on from a shaded spot looking over the sea.
I also had great communication from the host and local representative who responded to questions very quickly - there is also a good guide provided with tips for days out and things to do.
All in all, a great holiday, great villa and I would certainly recommend.

Great stay at Blue Sea Cottage
We had a great weeks stay at Blue Sea Cottage. All information given by Bill was timely. Self check in easy.
Villa is excellent. We had plenty of room for three adults. Great bathrooms and kitchen. Outside poll area and view is as per the picture.
Perhaps some basics in the kitchen would be great such as pepper, salt, olive oil and cling film. All of which we purchased and left for the lucky people who came after us. Also the BBQ had no implements such as tongs etc. So using the BBQ was a bit tricky.
However these are small suggestions for the owner rather than a complaint.
Over all we would recommend Blue Sea Cottage as a great place to stay and explore the Island.

Perfect vacation in a Blue Sea Cottage Villa
We had an unforgettable week in a Blue Sea Cottage Villa. It is a very quiet place with a magnificent ocean view. Villa is modern, comfortable and very clean with a great heated pool. Highly recommended for the people who want to stay out of busy Funchal. The host of the villa provided a lot of useful information.

Bill provides a detailed map to make the House easy to find. He also advised about the Carnival. So although it was the same evening as we flew in, we decided to make the effort.
Well worth it and so colourful. Hundreds of Samba dancers accompanied by the bands and floats. Thanks Bill

Absolutely fab!
We stayed in February for a walking holiday with friends. The owner was putting some finishing touches to the pool. But we knew about this in advance so not a problem. Bill arranged for us to use the Pool next door, which is also his property. Both houses are absolutely fab. We had one windy day but no rain, and particularly mild so can’t complain for February. Usually 21c in the day, just right for walking. Thinking of coming back in October for a family holiday with children and grandchildren, and taking both houses, absolutely loved it.

Pittoresque small house with everything you need
We had a great stay at Blue Sea Cottage. The location with views to the ocean are outstanding. The place - garden and house - in a "Portuguese Style" is very pittoresque. The rooms on two floors offer enough space for 4 adults. The interior design is tasteful and functional. Everything you need for your vacation is there. It should be noted that January is a time of high humidity. It was difficult to dry the rooms sufficiently, especially after showering. Bill was able to help us quickly via the property management. An additional dehumidifier was installed. Communication was straightforward and help was provided quickly. More detailed instructions on how to better ventilate the rooms on the first day would be helpful for guests at this time of year. The surroundings are very rural and quiet. From here you can easily explore the (south) western part of Madeira up to the north side to Porto Moniz by car and the western highlands with some natural highlights can also be reached quickly. The nearby Cafeteria Panoeste (within walking distance with a steep climb), which also serves fresh bread and sweet pastries, is highly recommended. To Funchal is a more or less 1 hour drive.

Ferienhaus
Im allgemeinen waren wir zufrieden mit der Unterkunft. Einige Punkte möchten wir doch festhalten, was uns nicht begeistert hat.
Sauberkeit:
- Haare im Badezimmer
- Tresor im Schrank total verstaubt
- Backofenbleck dreckig
- verschmutzes Weinglas
- mussten von Hand abwaschen, da die Geschirrwaschmaschine nicht sauber gewaschen hat
- Geschirrabtropfer war sehr dreckig (schwarz in den Ecken)
Etwas in die Jahre gekommen. im Pool löst sich die Matte. In den Schränken muffelt es.
Einige Zubehöre fehlen:
- Keine Topflappen für Backofen
- Für das Aussenchminee kein Zubehör. Grillzange, Blaseball etc. Nur etwas Kohle vorhaden gewesen, keine Anzünderbeschleuniger für Kohle.
Freundlichkeit:
- alles etwas lieblos, kein Wasser oder sonst eine kleine Aufmerksamkeit zur Begrüssung hingestellt.
- Hausskipper musste kurz mit Architekt vorbei kommen, kein Problem, aber kein Hallo, kein Nachfragen wie es uns gefällt und kein auf wiedersehen.
- Vom Eigentümer freundliche Mails,Vorinformationen bekommen.
Uns ist es wichtig dies mitzuteilen um Verbesserungen anzustreben, damit weitere Feriengäste voll zufrieden sind.
Fazit: Wir haben die Woche sicher genossen, aber müssen sagen, dass Preis - Leistung nicht gestimmt hat.
