We enjoyed our stay so much! The layout of the place was perfect for 2 families with kids of different ages, and the pool was a huge hit with the kids!
We were a group of 4 couples. We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well equipped and communication was excellent. A short walk down to the beach and two excellent restaurants. Would love to come back again.
Great location close to town and a beautiful beach. Great views from the terrace and easy access walking to the beach. The house was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The pool was great too! John George was very responsive and easy to communicate with. There were minimal supplies provided so shopping will be needed for essentials.
The house was amazing from check in to check out - easy check in and out - I’ll drink coffee and a glass of wine from that balcony anytime I’m in Pria de Mos ! Great kitchen, pool and living quarters!
Beautiful house in a great neighborhood. There was only 6 of us, but it could easily handle 12. Ocean was only 7 minutes away with a phenomenal beach. George was very responsive to our questions leading up to our visit. He even sent pictures of how to access the property, gate etc.
Will definitely stay here again when in the area!
Beautiful spacious villa with lovely views of the sea
We were a party of 9. 6 adults and 3 children. The villa was ideal for a large party.
The pool was fantastic and the large balcony was superb for evening meals.
We would stay again.
John our host was superb.
Place was nice with plenty of accessories to make you feel at home. John was very responsive to our questions and needs. Location was great and easy Ubers to anywhere you wanted to go. We all had a great time.
We had a great stay! There were 8 adults on this trip and we had plenty of space. The view from the outside seating area was very nice, and we were able to see dolphins from the house. The kitchen was big and there were cooking utensils available. We parked our car on the curb outside of the house and were able to keep it there for duration of stay, no issues. It was a close walk to the beach and some of the beach restaurants. It was also close to the grocery stores if you want to cook at the house instead of going out. The host was very responsive and assisted when we found ants on the bottom floor (ants are normal in this area). This house was a great place to stay to be able to relax and stay away from the big cities. I would recommend this place if traveling in a big group!
Great villa, close to the beach, quiet residential area
Great for a relaxing family holiday by the beach, well equipped with everything you might need. We spent our time by the pool most days, couple of days at the beach on the jet skis / kayaks / paddle boards. We ate at the villa in the evenings with BBQs etc. Balcony looks out onto the sea. Mattresses were a bit springy and could have been better but small issue on scale of things. Wouldn’t stop us going back. Not much going on around the villa as it’s in a nice quiet residential area which suited us just fine. We had a couple of trips out. Having your own car is really useful.
Beautiful views from the balcony to the Atlantic. As described a short 5 minute walk downhill directly to the beach. Very clean, lots of plates, glasses, pans etc for easy cooking at home options. Quiet neighborhood, but yet 5 min drive to Lagos, great location.
Great space for 2 families. The pool was clean and refreshing. Could have used some umbrellas and side tables at the pool. The views from the upper terrace were spectacular and there were lots of spaces to sit. A wifi extender to the lower level bedrooms would be a welcomed improvement. Being 4min walk to the beach was fantastic. Water was safe to drink. We felt very safe everywhere. Uber was very accessible and quick and we could walk into town easily. The garbage situation is not ideal as garbage disposal should not need to be dealt with by renters at such a lovely property. The host was super responsive and helpful. Overall a great stay and would recommend.
Easy check in. Tons of space to spread out & relax. More than enough lounge chairs by pool. House was spotless & a 2 minute walk to beach. Restaurants on beach were excellent. No need to even have a car. Great for groups of friends & family

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Great location and enjoyed our stay
Overall lovely stay. However, a few things could definitely be improved. The furniture and decor is tired. The place is completely empty of household goods eg. detergent, cleaning items, spare toilet paper, additional bath towels, beach towels, cooking basics (S&P, oil etc). The master bedroom toilet was broken for 4 out of the 7 days of our stay.
Awesome location between Lagos and the sweet little town of Luz. Just above the best beach, Mos beach has everything you could want or need in a beach, including stunning views. Walk the cliffs to Luz for lunch and shopping and Uber home.
The house had all the necessities, well equipped kitchen including 2 refrigerators and dishwasher. Minimal courtesy supplies, bring body wash and shampoo. Clothes washer very handy. A traditional style house, 2 of the 5 bedrooms are connected and share a bathroom, not a problem for an extended family, but offers less privacy for couples.
Over all a great stay!
Great location and beautiful views! Gorgeous Beach is a easy walk from home. Check in was very easy. Great home for group, lots of sleeping options and bathroooms! Home is completely empty of household goods eg. detergent, cleaning items, spare toilet paper, additional bath towels, beach towels, cooking basics (S&P, oil etc), even the Coffee maker was broken We ended up driving into Lagos for groceries and restauants.We stayed at 2 other homes during our trip and they made a much bigger effort make us feel welcome... somebody showed up BEFORE the confirmed 10 am check out time to close up. When I said we were not quite ready he left but then came back 15 minutes later and just walked in and started closing up the house. All in all a great place to stay but I feel a few things could be done to make it a 5 out of 5 star stay.

4 Bedroom villa at Porta do Mar
The villa itself is very well proportioned, was very clean and well furnished. There was no 'welcome pack' and no directions to any shops. The beds were a little hard compared to what we are used to.
The area surrounding the villa does not have any shops (the nearest supermarket being in the outskirts of Lagos). The local restaurant on the beach at Porta do Mar was very mediocre.
The best restaurant (The Dophin) and golf course was in Luz, about 15 minutes drive.
House was for 11 family members from age 20 to 84. Very comfortable and had what we needed. There is a nice pool - which can be heated for 400 euros per week - which is a rip off. Pool was fine to take a quick swim - and kids would not mind the temperature. I’m glad there is a washing machine that is free to use - as some previous reviews questioned the reason for coin operated washing machine. No more ping pong table or pool table which was a bummer. Kitchen was fully equipped w 2 refrigerators and plenty of glassware. With 11 people staying at the house for 6 days, there was not enough toilet paper and we did have to get more. Overall a great place to stay.
To start, the checkin process was seamless. We did not have any problems getting in. John sent us pictures that walked us through the steps. John was responsive and helpful.
The house was clean and well appointed with all the amenities of home. There was full complement of dishes, pots and pans.
The walk down to the beach was steep but right by house, 3 minutes walk.
We ordered grocery from Uber Eats which had problems with the house address. It was not on their map. Had to put the address in the notes section and had the driver navigate with GoogleMaps.
The beds were not the most comfortable, but there was a lot of them to chose from. The house slept 12, we had 9 so there was plenty of room and we were very comfortable.
The house was decorated beautifully and we appreciated built-ins and all the conveniences.
The only complaint I can give is the 10am checkout seems too early. It would have been lovely to have a leisurely breakfast before we left. Oh, the other complaint was the request to remove garbage from the site which caused the men to be grumpy because apparently it was a further than expected.

Did not return damage deposit as promised
John promised to return our damage deposit on May 11th, I followed up with two emails to him to which he did not reply. I gave him a deadline of today to pay and still no response. I have asked VRBO to look into it for us. We had no complaints at all about the state of the Villa when we left. We were very careful to take the garbage out, do the dishes and sweep the floors. We did not damage the property in any way. As mentioned John promised to return the damage deposit to us on May 11th.
Having lived in Portugal most of my adult life & loving this part of the Algarve, especially Lagos, Porto de Mós was the obvious choice as it still retains its typical Portuguese charm and as this is where I live it seemed the right choice to provide high quality holidays right here
Why they chose this property
The 'location' - the Surveyor told me that there are no more than 100 properties along the whole Algarve Coastline in such a location
What makes this property unique
The views, changing hourly with all of the different boats, fishermen (day & night), yachts, dolphins & more frequently orca whales
