We absolutely loved our two weeks in this house!! The description and photos are completely accurate. Although the house is two blocks from the beach access and boardwalk so perfect for a summer vacation, I would also say it's amazing place to stain the off-season; we were there in March and had a few colder days where we needed the heat and the house was so cozy and warm throughout (a rare find in Portuguese houses!) We also loved how convenient everything was- 5 min walk to a butcher, pharmacy, mini-market and if you walk just 15 min there's the HUMUS certified organic farm stand- we were also able to order delivery from nearby restaurants. The train is nearby but the owners took a lot of care to sound proof the windows on that side of the house so it wasn't something we really noticed or were bothered by, and being walking distance to the train to Porto is nice. We loved the house and the layout and the garden for our son to play safely. All around, I couldn't recommend this house highly enough!
