Very close to the beach. If you are here for surf then you have about 5-8 locations within a 5 mile radius near the house. All spots from beginner, intermediate, and advanced waves for what ever may fit your category. We enjoyed Foz do Lizandro (beach break) where you can rent boards and wetsuits from Na Onda surf shop, Riberias (right hand point break), and coxos (right hand reef break). 58 surf shop is also really near and that’s where we found boards to buy and then resell once we headed back home. The longer you rent your items the Better deal you will get. Just ask any of the kind surf shop retailers that surround the location about any tips and places to surf depending on your level. There’s also the quicksilver board house that has a sweet skatepark just 10 minute walk from the house.
Now the house itself... nice kitchen equipped with many utilities that fit all of our cooking needs. There was also a dish washer and clothing washer machine as well in the kitchen. Our beds were very comfortable and warm. There’s always a space heater if you do get chilly. The sofa was also very relaxing where we could access Netflix from the TV once we found out how to turn the parental locks off (Took awhile). Nice table which we didn’t use since there were only 2 of us we ate on the small table in the kitchen. Fridge was roomy and well as the freezer; both could fit all our groceries. Enough utensils for a whole family and extra sponges and trash bags. Some fun games, puzzles, and cards for recreational use. Spacious and well equipped with lighting. Bathroom had a weird odor of sulfur at first but went away as we started to utilize the bathroom more. Shower was warm, although it could use a new curtain. The water was always warm and came with soap and extra bathroom supplies as well with a first aid kit in the cabinet. Loads of blankets and extra towels. There’s also a pull out bed and the couch itself is comfortable enough to sleep on (which I did a few nights). There is a clothes line outside one of the bedroom windows that comes with clips to hang laundry. Very tidy space that could easily fit a family.
There’s a range of amazing seafood restaurants right below the apartment as well as 2 bars right beneath. The only downside is they do get kind of loud and go on till the wee hours of the morning but only a couple times a week so it’s not a bother to us. Plus the house is well insulated so if the windows are closed it’s not all that bad.
I would recommend this spot for its price you definitely can’t beat it. I never had the chance to meet Claudia but we contact via text and everything worked out. I will most definitely stay here when I come back.
