About this property

Faro, Algarve, Faro Beach, Beach House Literaly on the dunes

Beach house literally on the dunes. It is impossible to be more on the beach and close to the sea. Perfect for families, Kids love it. Inserted in the Natural Park of Ria Formosa, one of the main natural wonders of Portugal, making it the ideal spot for those who love nature. Located in the West part of the Island of Faro, precisely the most calm and orderly of the island. Three restaurants within one hundred meters. Just 3 km from the airport.
How to get there: after passing the bridge, turn right. After about 200 meters, after passing the “Restaurante Roque”, walk another 70 meters and you will find on your left, next to the road, the house Nr. 25. Our house (Nr. 192) is behind this, next to the sand dune.

Perfect beach house on a beautiful beach

The beach house was perfect for two couples to stay a few days enjoying the beach and local restaurants. It was clean and I loved the decorations. The personalized guidebook was amazing and very accurate.

Excellent location with a helpful host

A beautiful little beach house (definitely little) which was perfect for 2 of us. Behind the house is a sun trap, out of the wind - great for cooler days. Wonderful cafes just a few houses away. The host, Paulo, was quick to answer any messages and very helpful.

Lovely beach house

Me and my husband stayed for a week and honestly we were ready to book in for another week straight away!The house is great and had everything you could need for a short stay.The location was incredible and a literal stones throw from the beach.We'd recommend going to cafe do Zé along the board walk from the house for morning coffee and a croissant.Weekends are really busy so expect to park elsewhere along the beach and walk back to the house. Overall we loved it and would recommend anyone to stay.

This tiny beach house was perfect for us. We loved being steps away from the ocean. It was simplistic, but it was incredibly relaxing, and we enjoyed the area which was definitely frequented mostly by locals. Our neighbors were very friendly. We would definitely return. They had loungers on the patio and we did bring them down to the beach, my only criticism would be that it would be nice to have lightweight, regular sand chairs. The barbecue was awesome. We cooked several meals and ate on the quaint little table in the front of the house. We would definitely return.

The cottage was a perfect size for two people, but would be tight for 4. The location was fantastic being right on the beach. Our stay in January was terrible due to the weather. The gov't. issued a state of emergency due to the rain & high winds. The sand from the beach continually blew onto the patio making it unusable. The weather was not Paulo's fault, & we understand that they have not seen weather that intense for years. Several times he sent a crew to shovel us out. Communication was excellent, prompt, & we can only say nice things about him & his crew. In February the weather was better, not as windy & less blowing sand & we were able to enjoy the patio. If you do rent, make sure that all food is in plastic containers otherwise you may have problems with ants. Ant spray was provided. The cottage was very clean, & they made arrangements to pick up our towels & bedding every week & replaced with clean ones as we were there for two months, which made things easier & was much appreciated.

My wife and I absolutely loved it at the Faro beach house. To be honest, we were a little concerned when we saw the pictures of the beach and there was no one on it. But we were pleasantly surprised when we first laid eyes on this amazing house and an even more beach. Calm, warm water and exuding the relaxing beach vibe. We both can’t say enough about how much we loved this place. Only problem was we only stayed 3 nightsAll said and done, we would without a doubt stay again (longer next time) and would recommend it to all. Great communication from the host and he even treated us to a bottle of cold wine waiting in the fridge. If you are considering going to Faro do your self a favor and stay here. You will NOT regret it

Beautiful spot for a relaxing vacation

Paulo’s place is perfect for a beach getaway. Seconds from the beach it’s almost like you have your own procure spot on an otherwise idyllic beach. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and the #16 bus takes you straight into Faro. The fish market at Faro is incredible and I couldn’t recommend it more. The barbecue is charcoal so make sure you bring some if you want to grill!! Local restaurants are excellent and very reasonable. You ça. Catch both sunrise and sunsets from the house which can be fantastic. I could not recommend this place more and we hope to return in the future!

Glorious holiday had

A super property right by the sea. Well equipped and comfortable. If you are looking for a simple getaway then this is the place to be. Right from booking to arrival and departure everything ran smoothly. There was a need to contact the owner and his response was rapid and helpful. In offering constructive feedback (and this is not a complaint) it would have been lovely to receive a maid service on day 3 or 4 to change beds and towels alongside sweep through - given the location there was a need to clear away sand deposited by us which we did with good humour. We will definitely be booking this accommodation again though - thankyou to all involved

Schöne Lage, aber....

schöne Lage, aber ein nerviger Hund neben an. Kein eigener Parkplatz zum Haus gehörig. Wer mit Mietwagen anreist, muss hoffen einen freien Platz zu ergattern. Der öffentliche Parkplatz ist 10 min zu Fuß entfernt. Die Flughafennähe ist für die Anreise angenehm, aber der einhergehende Lärm am Haus nicht. Wir hatten bei der Buchung gehofft, das uns dies nicht stören wird, aber das Frühstück auf der Terrasse wurde doch durch den Fluglärm sehr gestört. Teilweise konnte man sich nicht einmal mehr unterhalten. Die traumhafte Lage wurde leider dadurch geschmälert. Wen dies nicht stört, der ist hier gut aufgehoben, aber für uns war dies eben nichts. Wer Urlaub auf dieser Insel machen will, muss sich dessen bewusst sein. Erholung sieht für uns anders aus. Man kann an den Strand flüchten, da ist es dann einigermaßen erträglich. Das Haus selber ist in die Jahre gekommen, es riecht muffig, die Kücheneinrichtung sollte mal aufgefrischt werden, ( Schranktür fehlt, abgegriffen) und kleinere Reparatur arbeiten stehen an. (Türgriffrosette, Duschkopfhalterung,..aber das sind nur Kleinigkeiten) Für mich passt aber das gesamte Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht. Was man bezahlt ist die Nähe zum Strand, das Haus selber ist es nicht wert. Es hat etwas mehr vom Camping als Wohnen am Meer.

Procuramos sempre proporcionar aos nossos hóspedes as melhores condições para as suas merecidas férias. Obviamente, não sendo perfeitos, havemos de falhar aqui ou acolá. As dezenas de comentários abonatórios de gente feliz que nos têm há anos atribuído nota máxima, dá-nos a confiança, tranquilidade e motivação para passar por cima de comentários que nos parecem injustos.

We enjoyed our beach Christmas. We loved walking over to the 2 cafes. Plenty of blankets to snuggle in at night. Plenty of dining options even in the off season. Easy to get to by Uber or ferry, there is also a bus but the construction on the bridge means the stop is far away. For Uber, make sure you look at google maps so you can get from the street to the house easily. Once you’ve done it it’s easy but the first time in the dark can be fun! There is a local airport however there only seem to be flights during the day so not disturbing. Great recommendations were left by the host!

Les pieds dans l’eau

Petite maison de bord de plage bien équipée. Le manque de climatisation n’est pas gênant car les soirées sont fraîches même en août. La plage est à quelques pas. Tout le nécessaire de cuisine est disponible. La proximité de l’aéroport peut être pratique mais être aussi une nuisance. Paulo est très à l’écoute et disponible.

PERFECT COTTAGE ON THE PRAIA DE FARO BEACH

Step out of the cottage right onto the beach.. dunes, beach, water and pure magical blue sky and sunshine.. this little cottage is cool and fresh, decorated throughout in white and blue with a nautical feel.. lots of idyllic beach walking and exploring the fishermen cottage areas of the peninsular along wooden walkways.. this is a truly relaxing place to visit and recharge your batteries!
