You cannot get closer to the ocean in Rio then from this Pontal flat. Like in many other Brazilian beach houses, some details end up overlooked, such as new appliances or a spotless bathroom, nothing that would compromise the experience in this rather underrated area of Rio, so close to amazing wild beaches. There’s free parking which is great. Wear sunscreen and repellent at all times, you will need it and enjoy Pontal, like in the famous song - não há nada igual. ( there’s nothing like it )
