Beautiful property, stay here you won’t regret it

Very helpful host and beautiful views distinguish this house with so much charm and great location. Half hour from Ponta Delgada and ten minute walk from a fantastic beach and small local restaurant. Great spot to explore the island from, but honestly you would be fine just staying here and doing nothing too. Go see the local waterfall!

Awesome visit

From the get go the host, Nuno, was very helpful and informative. The house is cozy and very clean, not to mention the view from the deck. The clothes washer was also a plus. We were able to park off the street, which was great as the streets are narrow. We highly recommend this facility.

Porto Formosa

My sister and I enjoyed our stay. It was challenging to find as we were exhausted from our trip but Nuno was very helpful and a very responsive host. Lovely to hear the waves crashing on the rocks below. We were disappointed that we could only see the waves and ocean if we were standing on the terrace (not while sitting). Comfortable beds. Overall it is a nice place to stay.

Awesome stay in Sao Miguel

My wife and I enjoyed our amazing trek and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Casa do Mar. From going to bed at the sound of waves crashing against the shore to roosters wakening us, it was a treat to enjoy the house on the cliff. The country is so beautiful and we enjoyed the local cuisine. This location does require access to a rental car to get around. If you are looking for a location away from the city, yet right on the coast, this is the place for you.

A Wonderful Stay!

Nuno’s house was perfect for us. The location was convenient to all of the island. We loved the little village of Porto Formosa and hope to return. There are some tucked away gems of restaurants in the village that outdid the food we ate in the larger cities. The local beach Praia dos Moinhas was outstanding and a short stroll away. Nuno always responded right away to our questions and was a terrific host. We could not have chosen a better place to spend a week (that went by all too fast).

Spectacular View

Interesting and authentic house on a beautiful cliff top location on San Miguel. Great for accessing the north and eastern areas of the island. Likely the single most incredible view of the surf from the bedroom window. Nice deck to grill out, watch the waves and have a meal. Host - Nuno was great and checked in to make sure everything was right. Everything you need for a great stay.

Absolutely Stunning and Peaceful Respite

Nuno's home is absolutely wonderful - the perfect place for a peaceful stay. The views are fantastic, and hearing the ocean break against the (basically isolated and private) volcanic beach below washes away any travel stress instantly. Nuno clearly planned the property well- nearly every room has a view of the ocean. The bed was comfortable, and the luxury of having an ocean front view and window in a second story bedroom was awesome. Tons of little things that made the property special, including many thoughtful notes and welcome gifts (biscotos, tea, coffee, water). Nunoe was very communicative as well. If we could give 10 stars, we would! Stay here, don't hesitate!

Rental with a view!

This is a great place to stay if you want to be more in an “off the beaten path” area with beautiful views. It is in walking distance to a nearby waterfall and beach bar/cafe. You can also climb down to a secluded beach area right by the house. It is also in a central location to get to all the key sites on the island. I would caution that taller/larger people would find it a challenge with the low ceilings and a small shower. Nuno is great with communication for anything needed.

Great beach house with an unbelievable view!

Nuno was very attentive to every detail during our stay. It was very easy to communicate with him. The house is perched above a cliff with a trail diwn to the cove. The outdoor space was lovely allowed for us to enjoy a glass of wine under cover and protected from the wind and rain. Nuno provided all the amenities and made ut very easy for us to cook a few meals. Nuno recommended a restaurant nearby, Mare Cheia and they had amazing fish brought to your table for you to select. Was thevest tuna I've ever had! Obrigado Nuno!

Peaceful cosy house with amazing views of the sea

Thank you to Nuno and Marta for a fantastic stay at you beautiful home. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The views of the sea were amazing and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony of an evening after a busy day exploring the island. The property was in a quiet village but easily accessible for the island . We would recommend staying here , we were made to feel most welcome by Nuno and Marta. Thank you for your hospitality. On the whole the Azores is a fantastic place to visit , where the locals are extremely friendly. The scenery is amazing with many walks, hikes and hot springs to enjoy.

Beautiful villa in quaint village

Casa do Mar was a wonderful cozy surprise. Yves' heart art (you will see it all around the island) welcomes you in. The views and atmosphere surrounding the property are breath taking. Short distance from the house is the village of Praia dos Moinhos where there are a couple of places to eat and a nice black sand beach. Also there are nature trails, vistas, secluded locations not far. A good central location on the island with easy access to the highway. Nuno was a very hospitable host and provided everything that was needed. In all a very enjoyable experience.

Honeymoon on the azores

It was a very pleasant residence. The view and the sound invite to enjoy the life in the azorean way. For honeymoon, there is no more better place on earth. Surrounded by the nature and wrapped in the original silence is this house located in a good basic position for all places to go on the island. I recommended this beautiful place for all that fell in love and friends of nature or people they will explore the azorean. Hey people, let's have a shot. Best Regards Martin & Claudia

Beautiful location but needs a little attention

Very nice, quiet location overlooking the ocean. It is possible to walk down to the beach but pay attention, as the path is not well maintained. Property manager very good with communication about check-in. Best feature of the house is the spacious porch with outdoor shower. When we arrived, the house was very hot, especially the upstairs where the bedrooms are (all windows were closed, and there is only one small fan in one bedroom). We also encountered a few large cockroaches. House could be amazing but needs some loving touches.

Convenient and comfy

Our family of four stayed here off season for the US Thanksgiving holiday week in Nov. The location is beautiful- tucked in right on the water with cRashing waves beliw to lull us to sleep at night. The beds were comfortable, kitchen well supplied and Nuno was very helpful and accommodating, meeting is a bit early to let us take a jet lagged snooze. the location was tucked into a quiet village, a short walk to the beach, which served as a nice central launch position for jaunts anywhere around the island. Only 10 minutes from the 2nd largest city Ribeira Grande, which offered wonderful dining and shopping, not to mention So many miradoura (golden views). We appreciated being able to truly experience the island, where cows outnumber people 3:1 and the pace of life is designed to relax and enjoy. I think Furnas was our favorite town to visit. We look forward to returning to see the beautiful island during its peak blooming season, but really enjoyed the lack of crowds during our stay here. Obrigada, Nuno!
