Copa.vistamar
Such a clean and spacious place to stay for a week! Very walkable to almost everything you need in Rio. The beach is right out front, multiple restaurants within 2-3 mins of walking, and the grocery stores are right across the building. Quite honestly such a steal for the spot you’re getting! Never felt unsafe in our stay here and the doormen were always greeting us! Host was extremely responsive in a timely manner. The view from the balcony overlooking copacabana beach is also breathtaking! If you do have an earlier flight before check-in or a later flight after check-out, the doormen might not be comfortable keeping your luggages in storage which is not the host’s fault. It honestly depends on who is working at that time. Which I understand because we had a bunch of big luggages. The doorman working at the moment just wasn’t comfortable being responsible for that many personal belongings. There is a storage unit company just right across the street and we had no problems using it!

Lux Atlantica apt. in front of Copacabana Beach 9th floor
Great place in a perfect location to take in the ambiance of Copacabana. Morning and night there is always something to see from the balcony. We felt safe and secure at all times. The kitchen pretty much had everything we needed so we could cook a meal at home. The bed was comfortable and the room quiet so we enjoyed a good sleep. Definitely recommend.

TOP Cinema View - Leblon Beach
Great apartment for a trip to Rio. Location was really convenient just a few blocks to the beach, and close to supermarkets and a great cafe (Cafe ao Leu Leblon). Amazing views too!

View of the Copacabana Sea
Great little studio..close to everything in Copacabana .

Copacabana Beach - Av Atlântica (Sea View - 11th)
Brenda was really nice and responsive! Apartment is in a great location! Really liked it and made my experience in Rio good! 😊

Ocean View @ Ipanema Beach High-End Vintage Design
What a CUTE place! Lots of character and attention to details. This apart is just stunning, since the wall decorations to the unique wooded windows. Mario was a very responsive, kind and helpful host, he was able to accommodate us with checking in earlier and was always checking on us, if we needed anything. When we did need help with something he was very prompt to get it done. Great location, close to everything you can possibly imagine you would need. A funny part of our stay was the broken rooster that lives nearby, he would sing anytime and all the time haha 1:30am, 3:30am, he was definitely broken or drunk. I’ll definitely come back. Be aware, Rio never sleeps, therefore noise will be part of your stay.

Beautiful Studio overlooking Botafogo Beach
Beautiful apartment in front of Botafogo Beach. Very clean and cozy. There is a shopping center nearby with many shopping options. The Host Mauro is very kind and proactive.

Greek Design Studio w/ sea view in Copacabana P2.
Great studio flat near Leme on the left end of Copacabana beach. Very well furnished, and decorated. The shower is the flat's jewel.
Waterfront house rentals

House with ocean views and close to the beaches.
What a divine accommodation!!! Easily accessible, quiet, the view is exactly as in the photos, the room is exactly as in the photos, comfortable and cozy! Mrs. Marli was a sweet person from beginning to end and extremely attentive, resolute, and as I told her, I already arrived wanting to return. And I'll be back without a doubt!

Casa Amora - Your Private "Mini Resort" on the Lagoon Edge
Good price, great hosts. This was my 4th trip to Brasil, this is the safest place i have stayed. Very small monkeys come right up to the villa

VIDIGAL CASA BRISA - RJ
I loved my stay, it was an amazing weekend and I can't wait to return. House is exactly like in the pictures, the view is even better! Comércios next to the house, snack bars,I particularly ordered at ifood which also delivers. My communication with Maria Fernanda was great, I responded quickly and I had no problems!

Tropical Escape with Swimming pool next to Leblon
Our 8-day stay at this location in Rio was absolutely amazing. The host organized an airport pick -up for my team and I and was there to greet us. The host gave us a tour of the home and left fresh fruit for us to enjoy. The home is in a great location with stunning views of the beach and is not too far from Copa and other attractions (20-30 minute uber drive). The home itself is well-maintained and was very comfortable for a group of 4. I’d highly recommend this home.

Beachfront apartment in the best location in Barra
My stay was wonderful, a pity that was short-lived. The location is perfect. The amazing view and the super cozy and spacious apartment. I felt at home! In addition, the condominium is super family, with clear information and good communication between the employees. The apartment is exactly as in the pictures and larger than expected. It is very close to Olegario, which has exactly the best bars, restaurants and everything you need like: market, bakery, gym… I liked a lot and didn't want to leave kkk for sure I will be back. I am grateful to Ana for all information and availability.

Apartment on Copacabana beach block
Marilene is a great host, extremely accessible and friendly. The place is very well located, safe and organized. The stay was great, everything in order. We would definitely come back more often.

Excellent apartment on Barra da Tijuca beach.
Alexandre is simply the perfect host, always helpful before, during and even after check-outs. The apartment itself was impeccable. Everything was perfect, from cleaning to check-in and check-out. It is basically down to the beach so the location could not be better. I enjoyed my 14 days there and will most likely come back

Experience Ipanema 1
FANTASTIC place to stay. Large and accommodating. Brilliant amenities and helpful staff. Really appreciated the welcoming reception and lobby area.

Excellent Apartment in Ipanema
Everything is great with Magda's apartment. It is quite functional and spacious. Two strengths: the location and the host, who is extremely friendly. I would recommend and would come back other times.

Virtually On The Beach!!!
