Beachfront holiday rentals in Vila Nova de Gaia

A very well-equipped house in a lovely seaside village, larger than the photos make it seem. Antonio greeted us like we were old friends and was really helpful with a couple of logistical issues caused by our late arrival. Miramar is a smashing little spot with a couple of nice eateries. 20 minutes on the train from central Porto and half an hour walk down the beach to the more bustling village of Aguda.

The house is small, but it is very well used and everything was very clean. Same or better than the pictures. It is located a few steps from the beach, which is ideal. The beds are very comfortable and allow a good rest. The kitchen, although compact, is fully equipped, and also has many utensils. It also has several tools such as an iron, dryer, fan... Whatever you are looking for and need, you will find it. The decoration gives it a unique and cozy touch. Rui was always attentive and very kind. Highly recommended!

It was very pleasant, very attentive and good comfort. Close to restaurants, shopping centers and the beach. The accommodation was spectacular, we went with our dog and he was also comfortable.

Raquel was a wonderful host! The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. She was really helpful and provided great local recommendations. Communication was clear and friendly throughout. I’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

The house is located by the sea (the beach is less than a 5-minute walk away) and overlooks a garden. We had a lovely stay there and were able to easily visit the surroundings (Gaia, Aveiro, Porto). Special mention for Hugo who is very available and provides good advice.

Everything met expectations, a welcoming space with a good location two steps from the beach and the center of Espinho. Mr. Vitor is always available and very friendly. Our stay was great.

The place has beautiful personalized decoration, very comfortable, spectacular dinner table chairs :) The only thing, for people who have “problems climbing stairs”, you a have everything you need (bedroom, complete wc, kitchen, etc.) downstairs, but the best terrace with a sea spectacular sea view, along with 2 other bedrooms, is on the second floor.. The 5 star host Tiago, was always available. Surely recommend!

We had a pleasant stay in the dune house, the bedding is perfect, and the apartment very clean. The terrace is very nice, facing the ocean with a magnificent sunset view. There is a nice walk along the beach, restaurants and bars within walking distance. The kitchen is fine, there is an oven and even a dishwasher. It's just missing a few kitchen accessories like a salad dryer, there's only one bowl for example, it lacks a few amenities for people who really want to cook. And the only downside is the noise from the road, cars and motorcycles pass very quickly at night, it's less disturbing the closed window but it was hot, and we were sleeping with the window open. We are delighted with our stay and the house is as described.

Great stay, good location and as described. Amazing support after our stay. We forgot a tablet in the appartment and they were amazing helping us out to have it ship to our home. Very efficient and supportive.

A beautiful apartment with absolutely everything you could need for a family holiday! Natacha’s place is spotlessly clean, lots of space and so many little extras it really felt like a home from home. The views of the sea and the sunset from the balcony were amazing! The pool was huge and clean and the surrounding area peaceful but close enough to Porto and Gaia by bike or a quick Uber ride. There is a boardwalk and cycle path just across the road that goes all the way down the beach to Porto. There is a supermarket nearby and some lovely beach bars and restaurants along the front. Natacha was a perfect host - friendly and very responsive and helpful with lots of ideas and suggestions for our stay. Our teenage girls loved the surf lessons that Natacha suggested and we had lots to do and lots of sights to see. Thank you Natacha for the perfect stay. We recommend 100% and would definitely stay again!

The quiet area with dunes and sea views, a great bed and a great shower, were fundamental elements of our experience in this apartment. The most unpleasant thing was the communication with those responsible for the accommodation: all the people I exchanged messages with were kind and diligent to respond but the fact that they referred us to a website asking for more data and more procedures (in addition to those provided here on Airbnb) made me angry and frustrated. In this process of exchanging messages I had to do what I consider a disproportionate effort for a simple booking. For the sake of the next guests, I hope you can improve on the simplification of the process! I appreciate the flexibility and kindness you had at check-in and check-out!

truly fantastic experience staying in Manuel's studio. the studio has all it needs, amazing light, massive rooftop terrace with a sea view and some handy chairs and lounge chairs. location is great, with fun beach bars within walking distance, the lagune for bird watching , some handy shops and nice restaurants. Manuel was a great host, quick communication, very clear. thanks Manuel!

A beautiful Villa with a nice pool and barbecue outside we all love it we are definitely coming back again. Highly recommended.

Beautiful home and looked after us really well! Great list of local recommendations and a lovely daily breakfast top up too!

Perfect stay and very clean accommodation!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.The property was spacious with 2sets of balconies for either sun or shade all day.We loved the fact that they met us and provided a lovely welcome pack and told us about lots of great places to visit locally and in Porto itself and would recommend to others

Liliana was absolutely lovely. You can clearly see that she loves being a host. We arrived after midnight but she welcomed us personally. She also prepared a great light dinner - highly recommend it, everything was delicious. The place was great for our group of 6, we had everything we needed to feel like at home. The surroundings are beautiful, the house is located near the beach, you can actually hear the ocean if you open the windows. A holiday that we will definitely remember & we really have to thank Liliana for it. She made sure we have everything we need, was always super responsive and even took the time to come say goodbye when we left. We highly recommend this accommodation and Liliana as a host, you will feel like you just arrived at a friend's place. Thank you for eberything, Liliana, we will definitely be back!

We stayed at Francisco's place and we couldn't be more satisfied! The location is excellent, the space is spacious and very cozy. We were greeted in a friendly manner, and the accommodation had everything we needed. In addition, there were several amazing tips to make the most of the city of Porto and the region. I was particularly delighted with the attention to detail!!

LOCATION/LOCATION/LOCATION - excellent views of the ocean

Very nicely furnished. Beautiful flower garden in patio area. Kitchen contained all necessary items.

A wonderful stay! The place is about half an hour from Porto, easy drive. As expected right on the beach with a view that we can never get tired of. Smooth check in and the place was super clean and comfortable. Beds are comfortable and there are shutters to block the light if you like to sleep in. Noise from board walk doesn't get to the bed rooms. Kitchen was great so easy breakfasts, coffee and reheating food. Great access to beach toys and umbrellas for beach days. The host was very accommodating and responsive which we hugely appreciated. There are lots of lovely restaurants around and we spent a couple days in the city, some in the hills and some enjoying the coast. It's a perfect mix of city break with the beach air. Thank you for an amazing stay, highly recommended.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time. The apartment was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Despite the heat (over 30 degrees), it remained cool and comfortable inside. Its location was excellent - close to the beach, restaurants, and a grocery shop - and it was just a quick 10–15 minute Uber ride to downtown Porto. Carolina was exceptionally friendly and checked in to ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay. She is definitely one of the best hosts I’ve had so far!

Excellent stay at Antonio's, the boat is quiet and close to everything: restaurants, beach, water activities... Antonio is very welcoming and explains everything well. The place is super clean, the sheets are fresh. An ideal retreat from the world for a few days. I'll be back!

Paula's accommodation is perfectly located facing the sea and about 20 minutes from Porto by train (station 100m away) or by car. We enjoyed being lulled by the sound of the waves. Bright accommodation, perfectly arranged and equipped. Small treats awaited us on arrival :) Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you again!
