We had a fantastic stay in Claire's house!
We were in trouble trying to find it (before going, make sure you know exactly where it is, as it is not on the Esperança street!), but when we found it at last, everything was perfect! The house is really compact (but not cramped!) and very cute, super cosy and really well equipped!
We were staying in February, so the nights were quite cold, but there is a wood stove which warms the place up very quickly! And for a small fee (really small:)) you can use electric heater (we were using it in the bedroom for a couple of hours before going to bed so the room was cosy and warm).

The outdoor area is great, you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the ocean just in front of the house! So it's all about peace, rest and nature.

However for the people who like complete privacy, there can be an issue. Claire rents 2 houses, so you have your outdoor area, but other quests use it too (for example, when going for a walk near the ocean, they will go through you "yard").
During our stay there was a couple with a little baby staying in other house and when they were gone, young girl with a baby and her mother came - of course we didn’t have any problems with these guests! (we even made friends with that girl and will be seeing her on our trip to Berlin where she lives!:)) BUT I could imagine that if instead of that nice families there were a family with a couple (or more!:)) of 8-11 year old noisy kids, running all over the place (and your yard too!), you can be in trouble trying to relax and enjoy bird signing and ocean’s sounds... But as I mentioned we were lucky and had absolutely relaxed stay as other quests were really nice, friendly and just the kind of people you expect to meet in such lovely peaceful place:)

Oh, and Claire's dogs and cats made our stay even better!:) I'm not a "dog person", but these dogs are awesome: so polite and nice and friendly. On our last night at Claire's house all 3 dogs and 1 cat came to spent some time with us like they knew we were leaving next morning, so I was crying (literally!) while saying good bye to them and especially to my favourite one - Bruna!

Hope to be back sometime later as we felt like in paradise!
