Excellent communication with Jamie regarding all aspects of our stay at Cabanas. The apartment was well equipped, comfortable and had everything you need for a 'home from home' holiday. Plenty of supermarkets and restaurants within easy walking distance with good choice of food and drink.Overall, a lovely apartment with excellent facilities and location within the Ria Formosa National Park. This gave us a new and different outlook on the Algarve after visiting a couple of times. A much quieter and less busy location if you don't like the more noisy Albufeira, for example, you won't be disappointed.

Chill Out Break In The Sun

We booked this property for a 10 night break in the sun. The property met all our expectations. Considering how close the property is to the waterfront it has amazing amount of outside space . Ideally located for access to restaurants and bars and also within 2 minutes walk of a Spar supermarket stocking all the things you are likely to want for a self catering break. Wave the agents meeting us on check in (as Jamie the owner was away) were really helpful and accommodating and it was all very simple as was the check out process. Thanks to Jamie for allowing us to use your property and thanks again to Wave for your professionalism.

Great Find!

We couldn't be happier with our stay at this property...ideal couple's apartment in a great location. The terraces were especially appreciated.Finally, Jamie, our host, was ideal. She had provided the apartment with a binder dealing with a wide range of information and suggestions. The bottle of white wine in the fridge and a rendezvous for coffee were most appreciated.

Enjoyable stay

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Jamie’s place for two weeks end of January/beginning of February. It is accurately displayed in the listing. The outdoor spaces were our favourite parts of the apartment. The apartment was clean, well-maintained and comfortable. Jamie, the owner, communicated clearly and was available if we had any concerns (which we did not). We would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Portugal

Great location- all you need by- street parking safe and accessible- good restaurants across the street and around the corner- wonderful boardwalk- make sure you go to cabanas beach across the harbour by boat for 2 euros per person return- Spar is a great corner store with all you need including wine for 1 euro per litre that is very good- weather in February and March this year was iffy and locals thought so too- hostess very friendly and helpful- cold wine and water greeted us on arrival- Robert went out of his way to help us- a wonderful stay at an exceptional location - highly recommended and we would go back

perfect retreat

We spent a wonderful two weeks in Jamies appartment, centrally located in Cabanas and close to all amenities (restaurants, the promenade and the boat quay to Ilha de Cabanas). Reception on site by Wave Algarve was on time and very friendly, same as the late and unbureaucratic departure. Thanks, Robbert !The appartment was clean and spacy for the two of us and the aircon in living room and bedroom proved essential during these days of extreme heat (38C), as did the sun shades on the balcony and on the roof top terrace - the latter we absolutely enjoyed most ! Fantastic mattreses (rather firm) ensured a pleasant sleep.A recently modernized shower is much better than the old bath tub shown in the actual pictures. Kitchenwise, the equipment may need some refurbishment, but everything necessary for two persons was available and in proper condition, except for a dirty frying pan in the cupboard.As usual in many southern countries, there were plenty of ants in the kitchen, marching in from a tiny hole in the living room's washboard. That surely will need some attention to be sealed. There have been NO ants or other insects in the sleeping room or bathroom.Definetely, a recommended holiday accomodation !!!

ideal break in a lovely part of Portugal

Easy location to get too & only 35mins from Faro. Cabanas itself has grown over the years but not too much that it is like the other popular holiday resorts nearby, still holds that small town feel with the local population at the heart of it. The apartment has everything you need and is central to all that is going on. We just love visiting Cabanas.

Why they chose this property

We chose Cabanas as it offers a natural beauty, incredible beaches, many quality golf courses, great restaurants and friendly atmosphere, with all the amenities one would need for a great holiday! We love the area so much we have bought other apartments here. Do ask if you are interested in viewing these.

Cabanas apartment is only one street from the sea front promenade of Cabanas. Our private roof top terrace offers both sun and a protected shady oasis, as well as two other large terraces are a treasure. Spaciousness, comfort and all you need for your get away is what we offer. We look forward to hearing from you.
