Beachfront holiday rental in Vila Nova de Gaia

A very well-equipped house in a lovely seaside village, larger than the photos make it seem. Antonio greeted us like we were old friends and was really helpful with a couple of logistical issues caused by our late arrival. Miramar is a smashing little spot with a couple of nice eateries. 20 minutes on the train from central Porto and half an hour walk down the beach to the more bustling village of Aguda.

The house is small, but it is very well used and everything was very clean. Same or better than the pictures. It is located a few steps from the beach, which is ideal. The beds are very comfortable and allow a good rest. The kitchen, although compact, is fully equipped, and also has many utensils. It also has several tools such as an iron, dryer, fan... Whatever you are looking for and need, you will find it. The decoration gives it a unique and cozy touch. Rui was always attentive and very kind. Highly recommended!

Hosts of great kindness with touching attentions for travelers, communication is fluid, very smiling and friendly. The cottage is very clean, well-equipped and fully matches the photos. We used buses, trains and Uber for our trips (shopping and visits). I highly recommend it!

Raquel was a wonderful host! The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. She was really helpful and provided great local recommendations. Communication was clear and friendly throughout. I’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Everything met expectations, a welcoming space with a good location two steps from the beach and the center of Espinho. Mr. Vitor is always available and very friendly. Our stay was great.

The place has beautiful personalized decoration, very comfortable, spectacular dinner table chairs :) The only thing, for people who have “problems climbing stairs”, you a have everything you need (bedroom, complete wc, kitchen, etc.) downstairs, but the best terrace with a sea spectacular sea view, along with 2 other bedrooms, is on the second floor.. The 5 star host Tiago, was always available. Surely recommend!

Super nice accommodation right in the dunes. You can see the sea and are just a few steps away from the beach. On the wooden walkways, which are directly behind the house, you can walk along the coast. Great restaurants and beach bars are within walking distance. A bakery and a supermarket can also be reached on foot. The connection to Porto is great. Only 15 minutes by Uber and there is also a connection with public transport. The place was super clean and there was everything you need. Even a beach umbrella was available. The host was very nice and always available. He even brought us a baby chair and a baby bathtub for our little daughter. I would come back anytime!

I loved my stay in Bruno's beautiful apartment. It was a real home from home. Beautifully furnished and immaculately clean. It had everything you could need. The building is quiet and well located for public transport to Porto or to the beach . It's possible to walk to the beach and the nature reserve. Bruno is a fantastic host. Very responsive and gave clear instructions. I will definitely be back.

Great stay, good location and as described. Amazing support after our stay. We forgot a tablet in the appartment and they were amazing helping us out to have it ship to our home. Very efficient and supportive.

I stayed with 6 friends in Alex's apartment to spend a quiet time by the sea and look at Porto. The apartment is very spacious and offers a lot of space as well as many possibilities! The location right by the sea is indescribably beautiful! There are great restaurants and bars within walking distance. If we wanted to go into town, we took the Uber. This was also hassle-free, inexpensive and takes about 15 minutes. I really recommend this apartment and Alex as a host! We felt very comfortable. Thank you for the hospitality!

truly fantastic experience staying in Manuel's studio. the studio has all it needs, amazing light, massive rooftop terrace with a sea view and some handy chairs and lounge chairs. location is great, with fun beach bars within walking distance, the lagune for bird watching , some handy shops and nice restaurants. Manuel was a great host, quick communication, very clear. thanks Manuel!

Great stay! Clean home, with a 2 minute walk to the beach! The shared pool is great and a good size, fab on the warm days! Quiet and peaceful area but limited parking in front of the apartments, especially with a van. Had a great stay and thank you to Manuela for checking us in and showing us around the apartment, her recommendations for places to eat and visit were great!

A beautiful Villa with a nice pool and barbecue outside we all love it we are definitely coming back again. Highly recommended.

Beautiful home and looked after us really well! Great list of local recommendations and a lovely daily breakfast top up too!

Perfect stay and very clean accommodation!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.The property was spacious with 2sets of balconies for either sun or shade all day.We loved the fact that they met us and provided a lovely welcome pack and told us about lots of great places to visit locally and in Porto itself and would recommend to others

A warm welcome, a spacious apartment, comfy bed, close to the beach and neighborhood with many shops and restaurants. Thank you!

LOCATION/LOCATION/LOCATION - excellent views of the ocean

A wonderful stay! The place is about half an hour from Porto, easy drive. As expected right on the beach with a view that we can never get tired of. Smooth check in and the place was super clean and comfortable. Beds are comfortable and there are shutters to block the light if you like to sleep in. Noise from board walk doesn't get to the bed rooms. Kitchen was great so easy breakfasts, coffee and reheating food. Great access to beach toys and umbrellas for beach days. The host was very accommodating and responsive which we hugely appreciated. There are lots of lovely restaurants around and we spent a couple days in the city, some in the hills and some enjoying the coast. It's a perfect mix of city break with the beach air. Thank you for an amazing stay, highly recommended.

Excellent AIRBNB professional service, great location.

Ideally located and functional accommodation.

A beautiful apartment you can call home. Being able to watch the sunrise and sunset from the apartment, is wonderful!

Paula's accommodation is perfectly located facing the sea and about 20 minutes from Porto by train (station 100m away) or by car. We enjoyed being lulled by the sound of the waves. Bright accommodation, perfectly arranged and equipped. Small treats awaited us on arrival :) Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you again!

Spacious apartment with large balcony giving a glimpse of the Douro through the trees. Major benefit was secure onsite parking and accessible public transport to central Porto within 100 yds. Apartment well equipped and everything worked though I suspect the oven might need some TLC before long.
