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.

La casa es pequeña, pero está muy bien aprovechada y todo estaba muy limpio. Igual o mejor que en las fotos. Está ubicada a pocos pasos de la playa, lo cual es ideal. Las camas son muy cómodas y permiten un buen descanso. La cocina, aunque compacta, está totalmente equipada, y además cuenta con muchos utensilios. Dispone también de varios útiles como plancha, secador, ventilador... Lo que buscas y necesitas, lo encuentras. La decoración le da un toque único y acogedor. Rui fue siempre atento y muy amable. ¡Muy recomendable!

Ha sido muy agradable, muy atentos y buena comodidad. Cerca de restaurantes, centros comerciales y de la playa. El alojamiento espectacular, fuimos con nuestro perro y el también estuvo cómodo.

Absolut empfehlenswerte Unterkunft! Super ausgestattete und kinderfreundliche Wohnung. Wir haben uns direkt sehr wohl gefühlt. Raquel ist eine super herzliche Gastgeberin, die uns persönlich in Empfang genommen hat und gut erreichbar war. Sie hat uns außerdem unterstützt als wir ein Problem mit unserem Mietwagen hatten. Besonders gefallen hat uns auch die tolle Dachterrasse und die Nähe zum Strand. Gerne wieder :)

La maison est située en bord de mer (la plage est à moins de 5 min de marche) et donne sur un jardin. Nous y avons passé un très bon séjour et avons pu facilement visiter les environs (Gaïa, Aveiro, Porto). Mention spéciale pour Hugo qui est très disponible et dispense de bons conseils.

Tudo correspondeu às expectativas, um espaço acolhedor com uma boa localização a dois passos da praia e do centro de Espinho. O senhor Vitor sempre disponível e muito simpático. A nossa estadia foi ótima.

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!

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans la maison dune, la literie est parfaite, et l appartement très propre. La terrasse est très agréable, face à l ocean avec une vue magnifique sur le coucher de soleil. Il y a une belle balade à faire le long de la plage, des restaurants et bars accessibles à pied. La cuisine est très bien, il y a un four et même un lave vaisselle. IL manque juste quelques accessoires de cuisine comme une essoreuse à salade, il n y a qu un seul saladier par exemple, ça manque un peu d équipements pour des personnes qui veulent cuisiner vraiment. Et le seul point négatif est le bruit de la route, des voitures et des motos passent très vite la nuit, c est moins dérangeant la fenêtre fermée mais il a fait chaud, et nous dormions la fenêtre ouverte. Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour et la maison est conforme à la description.

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!

Zona sossegada com dunas e mar à vista, uma ótima cama e um ótimo chuveiro, foram elementos fundamentais da nossa experiência neste apartamento. O mais desagradável foi a comunicação com o responsáveis do alojamento: todas as pessoas com quem troquei mensagens foram gentis e diligentes a responder mas o facto de nos remeterem para um site a pedir mais dados e mais procedimentos (além daqueles previstos aqui no Airbnb) deixou-me irritado e frustrado. Neste processo de troca de mensagens tive de fazer o que considero um esforço desproporcional para uma simples reserva. A bem dos próximos hóspedes, espero que possam melhorar na simplificação do processo! Agradeço a flexibilidade e amabilidade que tiveram no check-in e no 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!

Séjour Parfait et logement très propre !

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!

Ficamos hospedados no espaço de Francisco e não poderíamos estar mais satisfeitos! A localização é excelente, o espaço é amplo e muito acolhedor. Fomos recebidos de forma amigável, e a acomodação tinha tudo o que precisávamos. Além disso, havia várias dicas incríveis para aproveitar ao máximo a cidade do Porto e a região. Fiquei particularmente encantada com o cuidado nos detalhes!!

LOCATION/LOCATION/LOCATION - excellent views of the ocean

Super logement, je recommande! La localisation est géniale, le logement est face à la mer, l’environnement est calme et pour ceux qui le souhaitent il y a des restaurants à proximité. La ville de Porto est facilement accessible. Nous étions 4 adultes et 1 enfant, nous avons trouvé la maison spacieuse , belle et bien équipée. Rodrigo a été super sympa et réactif. Merci pour tout.

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 séjour chez Antonio, le bateau est au calme et proche de tout : restos, plage, activités nautiques ... Antonio est très accueillant et explique tout bien. L'endroit, est super propre, les draps sont frais. Une retraite idéale du monde pour quelques jours. Je reviendrai !

Paula war eine sehr gute Gastgeberin, sie hat uns alle Wünsche erfüllt. Die Unterkunft ist nachts sehr ruhig. Im Garten war den ganzen Tage Sonne. Der Strand ist direkt hinter der Promenade, 20 m entfernt. In der Nähe gibt es einige Einheimische Restaurants. Am Strand kann man stundenlang in beide Richtungen spazieren gehen. Teilweise über Stege, und Fußwege.
