Beachfront holiday rentals in Vila Franca do Campo

Awesome place for our short stay. It was spacious yet felt cozy still. Would definitely recommend!

Simply the BEST! Max's house was absolute perfection for our group of 6 friends (3 couples). With a week on São Miguel, this beautifully quiet, coastal home was our ideal base. We all had our own wonderful personal space, while the living and dining areas easily accommodated us all. Mornings began with leisurely breakfasts on the veranda (and occasional dolphin spottings!), nights were spent in comfortable beds serenaded by the sea. We enjoyed cooking big meals in the well-equipped galley kitchen and exploring local restaurants. Max was a stellar host, no, actually the BEST host – leaving fresh fruit, bread, and wine, helping with local dining and sightseeing suggestions. Parking for two cars was ample, the pool is lovely and the nearby black sand beach was a rugged, stunning walk. We really could not have asked for anything more, it was perfection! 😊

Our stay was perfect. The location couldn’t have been better. Peaceful. Nice to be out of downtown Ponta Delgada- but convenient enough to get to and enjoy the Festival and the city when we wanted to. The house is strategically located on the south shore and perfectly located to drive to the island’s sites. A couple very nice restaurants are within easy walking distance. The ocean pools are right across the street. We enjoyed whale watching, hiking and traversing the Island, seeing all the sites. Ludovic was a txt away and helped out whenever we needed! Our 8 day stay went by so quickly, but it was wonderful.

We had a great stay at Home Sweet Home during our trip to Sao Miguel! The house was clean and well kept. Our family of four, including 2 teenagers had plenty of space and all of the amenities worked well for us. It is in a great location on the island. It’s is pretty central so easy to drive to sites in either direction.

What a beautiful home!! It is in a great location, with a gorgeous view of the coastline from the spacious deck and from inside the home. Everything was provided, we did not need to contact Fatima for anything during our stay. She let us enter the unit before check-in when we arrived earlier than expected. The place is very clean and well kept, you can tell that she takes pride in her home. She left a goodie basket of local food items on the counter which was delicious and very much appreciated! If you plan on staying in Sao Miguel, I would highly recommend this place!

“Compact” apartment but it has everything one needs and is very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen, very comfortable bed, excellent Internet connection! Beautiful view of the city (south and east). The hosts were reactive and a pleasure to deal with. The apartment is in a quiet neighbourhood (and a quiet building) with a parking lot across the street. It is a walking distance to the city centre (shops and restaurants) and also to a larger shopping centre. I had a very pleasant stay.

Beautiful accommodation looking straight onto the sea with the mountains directly behind. So peaceful. Access to pebbled beach and large garden. Very accommodating and friendly. We loved it and would highly recommend !

Our family of 5 had such a wonderful time at Antonio’s beautiful place. The accommodations were perfect with a stunning view of the ocean and a cool short cut to the tidal pools. The home itself is in a great location, spotless and full of charm. Antonio was such a lovely host who was always available for any questions or assistance. I would 100% recommend this place and would stay here again if ever returning to this magical island. Thank you Antonio!! :)

Great spot right on the beach, spacious apartment. Perfect for holidays !

We arrived in Ribera Quente late after a flight delay, and followed José’s instructions on finding the place to the letter. Very clear instructions, we found the place easily and we were able to check in quietly and quickly. The rental was gorgeous, and much bigger than the photos suggest. A firm, and comfy bed; we easily installed the screen window provided and were lulled to sleep in minutes by the waves on the beach just below the Casa. The surrounding landscape and gardens are something out of a dream, so tranquil and beautiful, and expertly maintained. The infinity pool was a major highlight every afternoon, we could soak up some sun on the loungers around the pool and jump in to cool off, and just watch ships pass by in the distance. Amazing! José was exceptionally kind, it was wonderful to meet him, and we will definitely put his place on our list of favourites to return to.

mariana’s apartment is super comfortable and clean, great view and just some minutes away from a great beach, we had an amazing time there.

Absolutely perfect Airbnb in so many ways - clean, lots of amenities, great location. We had 5 days here on Sao Miguel Island and Maria's condo was perfect. She left us snacks, wine and other little treats. Maria is incredibly generous and has great attention to detail. We highly recommend staying here.

We loved our stay! You can see the ocean off one side of the patio. Walkable to marina and restaurants. Great space.

As an editor for a residential and architecture magazine, I have seen many holiday homes. Mario's house is the kind you fall in love with right away. The renovation is very carefully done, and the decor looks modern, but at the same time warm and inviting. Three separate residential units offer enough privacy, even if you share the house with other guests - which did not bother us at all. The amenities are great, and the pool and the view are simply fantastic. I can well imagine that other travelers who value style and comfort will also love this house. All in all: worth a trip!

The kids loved the pool, was quiet place, and lots of space. the beds were comfortable, the location was good. the view from the kitchen was fantastic.we loved that we had three showers and toilets.

The home is very beautiful and the pool area was pristine and idyllic! Sao Miguel weather is unpredictable so be mindful it may be too cold to use the pool. The closest restaurants are about 10 minutes away in Caloura. This area is extremely quiet so you will want to plan accordingly if you are looking for things to do!

The condo is beautiful and we enjoyed the deck and garden areas with the ocean view. The kitchen was well appointed and had what we needed for cooking and coffee. The beds were comfortable and I really liked the automatic shutters that blocked out light well for sleeping. The host was very easy to communicate with. Unfortunately the house next door is under construction and the noise was pretty loud starting at 8:30 am every day except Sunday. We spent most of the day time out of the house exploring but if there had been bad weather, the noise would have prevented us from relaxing/reading.

Very well located clean space, exactly as described! David made very good recommendations and was always very helpful. I recommend it!

Beautiful view, enjoyed my coffee on the balcony in the mornings overlooking the ocean. Would not suggest this accommodation if someone in your party has difficulties with stairs. Was perfect for the 4 of us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Rui was responsive and helpful whenever needed. The private terrace overlooking the ocean was the true standout. Some thoughtful touches like coffee, milk, juice, and jam were also provided for our arrival. The location in São Roque is quiet but conveniently walkable to Ponta Delgada (~30 min along a beautiful coastal path). We usually found parking in the small lot at Ilhéu de S. Roque at the end of the road, though be aware it's a narrow drive where you need to drive half on the sidewalk. If that's a concern, there’s ample parking just a short walk away on Av. do Mar. We didn’t notice much noise from the nearby Cais 20 restaurant. That said, the larger bedroom faces the street and can pick up foot traffic if windows are open. The smaller room was quieter and had better ocean sounds — we actually preferred sleeping there. Beds and pillows are basic but we slept just fine. All in all, a wonderful stay with a spectacular view.

“Excellent stay! The apartment was spotless, very comfortable, and had everything we needed for our visit. Communication was smooth and easy, and he was very flexible, even letting us check in earlier, which we really appreciated. He was always ready with great recommendations for places to visit and eat. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!”

We were warmly welcomed and lovingly cared for. The design of the house is unique, the central location fantastic, as the entire island can be reached from here with a comparatively short drive. We would be very happy to come back one day. Thank you very much!!

This is an old, converted fisherman’s cottage (we think). It’s a beautiful place with access to sea swimming pools right out the back garden gate. Easy walking distance to Lagoa along a coastal path leading right to the most amazing set of sea swimming pools (plus proper pools). Local cafe/bar/restaurant right on the doorstep. Kitchen was great, bathrooms clean and showers lovely and warm and powerful. Living space upstairs was fab - cosy in the rain but also perfect with the terrace door open in the evening. We have two young adult girls and one of them wasn’t comfortable sleeping in the communal space next to the kitchen but we easily moved her bed into the small room so she could sleep next to her sister. The only downside was that it was difficult to get things dry when it rained. Everything stayed damp and ended up smelling musty. In the wet, humid conditions the cottage feels a little damp. Generally speaking though, this is a great place. Highly recommend.

His place was everything we wanted. Great view of the water. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Thank you! We will be back. Barry and Karen
