Find family rentals near Peniche Beach

An outstanding villa with spectacular views, we were a large family and didn’t use the full space available, because it is so spacial - you could even bring an au pair or caterer, there is that much space. A total must have was the heated pool, we were grateful for that after spending time at the beach and in the stunning Atlantic Ocean which has its waves and quieter and safer lagoon. Our host was attentive and concerned for us having a great time which we did, thank you very much

We had a great week at Caso Do Mar, the villa itself is amazing and has some of the best views overlooking the Portuguese coastline. The rooms in the villa are all modern and comfortable and it literally has everything you could possibly need. Having its own pool is a great benefit and the outdoor spaces in general were out favourite part! We needed to use taxis to get into Lourinha as the villa is on top of a hill but you can walk down to the beach in less than 20 minutes which is great. The host Stefan was easily contactable and made us feel very welcome - we would certainly go back again!

The host is a very nice person who does anything to make his guests happy.

What a fabulous find this property is. I'm hesitating whether to share this secret with you! The owners couldn't be more thoughtful or generous, even offering to cook us a meal on our arrival and baking local cakes, etc, and leaving us with other provisions. You're right 'on' the beach here, with the most spectacular views of the lagoon and the mouth of the lagoon looking out to the sea. There's a boardwalk that takes you down to the beach (1 or 2 minutes walk to arrive on the sand). There's no road between you and the beach, which is wonderful. I can't walk far, but even this wasn't a problem as they have bikes in the garage - so I biked down to the beach! Perfect! You can also bike around the path around one side of the lagoon to the 'head' of the lagoon, where there's a cafe/restaurant and canoes and stand up paddle boards to hire. It's perhaps a 7 km round trip (I think). The water in the lagoon is calm and warmer than the sea - although it's still fairly cool/cold. At low tide, small 'lakes' form, some of which you can swim in - or at least children can. The water in the lakes are a bit warmer. The beach is very sandy, everywhere - no pebbles. A quiet place, with only one shop (limited stock, but manageable day to day. You might need to top up with a visit to one of the supermarkets near Obidos. Several cafe/restaurants, as well, and an ice cream stall near the beach. You'll definitely need a car here (several car hire companies at Lisbon airport). It would be quite difficult to manage without a car. The house and location are perfect for a quiet stay, based around the beach, perhaps a visit to pretty Obidos and to other seaside towns, perhaps doing a spot of canoeing or watersports. A very quiet and idyllic spot.
