Great place to stay in San Miguel!
House was great, plenty of room. Location is fantastic!!! Close to airport (about 15 min), beach is walking distance or two min car ride. So much to do or nothing at all!!! House was great for the four of us-plenty of room

Azores house
Overall extremely disappointed with this property. Upon entering the house there was a very musty like smell that was trying to be covered up with some extremely odiferous air fresheners. Most of the screens in n the windows and sliding doors did not stay in so we were unable to open windows for ventilation. Calling the host resulted in an answer that she would have someone come out and fix the screens but not until our stay was over. There was as one fan in the house that did not work and the host did nothing to help. She told us she only had the one fan. This property was subpar and I would not recommend it to anyone. Being mindful that we had a 6 month old and a 2 year old as well as a 63 year old with asthma the property was a health risk to us

Great location and house
Great location…loved being able to walk to beach (where we took up beach tennis) and restaurant. Location was a great…we took off to a different past of the island everyday and this house was very centrally located. House was very clean, well equipped, comfortable beds and an amazingly stocked kitchen. We loved the large table on the porch and I sat in yard every morning. Sao Miguel is an amazing island with so much to see and do…I promise it will not disappoint. Come for a visit and stay at this amazing home…you will love it.

Fabulous location
I had a great experience staying at this property. The communication with the owners was excellent and their flexibility was greatly appreciated. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed including a grocery store within distance. The house was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities to make our stay comfortable. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great rental! Thank you again to our wonderful hosts, Pat and Sylvia.
