Beachfront vacation rentals in Cabo Verde

We had an unforgettable stay at Mr. Koen’s villa at Melia Tortuga Beach. He went above and beyond to make everything easy and smooth for us, including putting us in touch with Mr. Silvino, a fantastic local taxi driver who picked us up at the airport and was always just a message away. He and his nephew really made our trip with great tips and insights about the island. The villa itself is simply stunning. Right in front of the beach with a breathtaking sea view. It’s spacious, well equipped, and the private pool is a real highlight. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and ending the day with a dip in the pool was an absolute dream. This place is an incredible spot with excellent VfM, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. We’re leaving in just an hour, and we’re already talking about coming back. Thank you, Mr. Koen, for everything! P.S. Please consider tipping local workers. The minimum wage in Cabo Verde is only 13,000 CVE/month (~120€), and tips make a big difference.

Manuel ist ein ausgezeichneter Gastgeber, er hat uns beim Hafen abgeholt und hat sogar Extrarunden mit seinem Auto gemacht um uns gute Tipps zu geben bezüglich Restaurants etc. Die Tipps haben sich als sehr hilfreich herausgestellt - danke Manuel! Wir dürfen vor dem Check -in Zeitpunkt unser Gepäck deponieren, was sehr hilfreich war. Die Wohnung ist zweckmässig und gut ausgestattet und wir haben die Stadt gut zu Fuss entdecken können von der Wohnung aus. Tolle Lage, nahe zum Strand und dem Zentrum. Können wir sehr empfehlen!

One of the best views ever. And the sound of the ocean right out the front door is so peaceful. A 2 minute walk to a restaurant. Or a 3 minute walk. Or a 4 minute walk. Or a string of restaurants during your 30 minute walk. I could easily spend more time on the upper veranda, watching the waves come in. My wife slept upstairs in a comfortable bed while I slept downstairs in one of another pair of comfortable beds. I chose downstairs because I have a bad knee and I found the stairs to the upper bedroom problematic. Other than that “No Problem.” The local maid provided what we asked for and Luis remotely answered every question promptly. Done deal, thanks Luis. It was an affordable long weekend.

Amazing! If you don’t stay here, you are missing out on a fantastic experience. Chris and Mona are incredible. such kind, generous and welcoming people. The meals they served us were so fresh and tasty, there are also lots of fun activities like snorkelling and fishing available here. We had a lovely time and will definitely be back again! Thank you Chris and Mona for everything.

Sehr schöne Meersicht, gross und hell. Wir waren als Paar da, wenn mehrere Parteien sich die Wohnung teilen, kann es wohl recht ringhörig werden. Als wir ankamen, war die Wasserpumpe defekt und wir hatten zwei Tage kein fließendes Wasser. Ines und Rui haben das aber zeitnah geregelt und die gute Nachricht für alle nach uns: Jetzt ist eine neue Wasserpumpe verbaut und es sollte kein Problem mehr auftauchen. Wir mochten auch Santa Maria sehr und haben uns prima erholt. Gerne wieder mal, auch in dieser Wohnung.

Patricia and her husband offer a magnificent house with the most beautiful view! The apartment offered everything we needed - a pool, quiet rooms, a well equipped kitchen and an outdoor BBQ and all support we could think of of Patricia and her staff. All in all: we had a wonderful stay in Maio, it is really an island to calm down, enjoy nature, sun and the sea. Thanks a lot!

L'appartement de Charles et Sylvie est un petit havre de paix où l'on se sent bien. L'environnement est calme et paisible. Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Charles et Sylvie, qui ont été très gentils, donnant de très bons conseils et arrangeants. Nous vous recommandons le logement pour découvrir cette jolie île de Santa Antao.

Sehr schöne und großzügige Wohnung in einer angenehmen Gegend. Hafen, Innenstadt und Strand sind problemlos zu Fuß zu erreichen. Das Appartement ist groß, stylish, gemütlich und super ausgestattet. Jaliza war eine perfekte Gastgeberin und hat uns bei allen Anliegen schnell geholfen. Absolut empfehlenswert!

I had a fantastic stay at Nina’s apartment in Santa Maria! The location is perfect. The apartment itself was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. You can tell Nina really cares about her guests – communication was smooth, she was super helpful with local tips, and made check-in a breeze. If you're heading to Sal and want the ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Cape Verde, Nina’s place is it. I’d come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely apartment with a beautiful location right by the beach. The veranda was a real highlight, offering a great view of the lush garden, the pool, and the sea. We truly enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it. Nina was a fantastic host – very welcoming and easy to communicate with.

Estancia fantástica con vistas increíbles El apartamento estaba en perfectas condiciones, muy limpio y bien cuidado. Las camas eran cómodas, el baño espacioso y las vistas espectaculares. La comunicación con Gabriele y su equipo fue excelente. Siempre estuvieron atentos y todo lo que pedí me lo proporcionaron con gusto y muy buena predisposición. Como mejora, sería útil contar con un tendedero y una lavadora. Además, el wifi a veces no funciona bien. El alojamiento está algo alejado del centro, por lo que es necesario moverse en taxi. Aun así, la experiencia fue muy buena y volvería sin dudarlo. ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (4.5/5)

A fabulous apartment, small complex with pool and direct beach access - just as described. Peter was a great host - met us on arrival and gave lots of helpful local tips. The apartment was spotless, very comfy bed, and had everything we needed for our stay. Really recommend it and Santa Maria is beautiful! Thank you 🤩

Já tinha estado em Santa Maria e esta experiência conseguiu ser melhor. A casa é igual às imagens mas não estava preocupada com este ponto porque queria mais aproveitar a cidade. A localização é das melhores, em frente à praia e a três minutos do centro. Lugar super seguro, andei sempre de madrugada e até sozinha e nunca me senti insegura. Ao mesmo tempo é um sítio sosssegado e um ambiente familiar. Adorei tudo e aconselho muito! Voltarei em breve!

Die Kommunikation mit Rachael verlief reibungslos. sie kam uns auch bei Anliegen sehr entgegen und kümmerte sich um unsere Anliegen sehr schnell. Das Appartment ist gleich am Strand und Kaffee, mit einrm mini Shop war such gleich um die Ecke. Fpr 1 Woche waren 2 Rolken WC Papier etwas zu knapp,aber ich weiss nicht, wenn wir gefragt jätten, ob wir noch 2 Rollen bekommen hätten. ansonsten sehr gemütlich, wir würden wieder hier herkommen. danke

Espaço ideal para férias calmas fora da confusão do centro turístico. Caminhada agradável de 15 minutos até ao centro pelo paredão junto ao mar. Tranquilo e seguro.

Eine tolle Wohnung mit Platz für 4 Personen. Super Aussicht auf Meer und Strand. Nachts ruhige Lage und doch sehr kurze Wege zum Strand, ins Zentrum, zum Einkaufen und zu Restaurants. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, auch mal um selbst zu kochen. Wir waren 1 Woche dort und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Baustelle vor dem Haus hat bereits einen gewissen Baufortschritt, so daß zu hoffen ist, dass der zeitweilige Baulärm weniger wird. Die Kommunikation mit Katja war ausgezeichnet und auch die Betreuung vor Ort (Adrian) hat uns sehr unterstützt und mit sehr guten Empfehlung versorgt

Liliana is a very heartwarming host, quick to respond to your questions and helpfull in aiding your trip around Saõ Vicente. Couldn’t have wished for more. About the appartment. It is located right on the sea board. A beautiful and tranquil place to enjoy the ocean, read a book and at night you have an amazong view of the stars. There’s a garden with a lot of shade and place to relax. Right next door there’s a small turtle sanctuary and you can make a roundtrip by foot around the vulcano. So enough to do for everyone. Inside the appartment is very clean, tidy en cozy. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Great place with a great view! Quiet and peaceful. The only thing i would suggest is change the single beds to doubles. They are to small for adult size people. Other than that it was a great stay

O estúdio proporciona todas as comodidades necessárias para uma estadia confortável. Dispõe de alguns itens extra que são muito úteis: temperos e especiarias, chá, detergente da loiça… A máquina de lavar roupa é particularmente importante para estadias mais longas. Tem um espaço exterior muito convidativo. A localização é a melhor de Santa Maria, perto de tudo, mas calmo o suficiente para relaxar: em cima da praia, piscina excelente com espreguiçadeiras sempre disponíveis. O condomínio é muito tranquilo, tem privacidade e os seguranças são atentos e simpáticos.

Wij hebben een geweldige vakantie gehad. Accomodatie was perfect, en heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Alles was op loopafstand. Han was zeer vriendelijk en meedenkend. Regelde een taxi van en naar het vliegveld. Adrian de host ontving ons op de aankomstdag en legde alles goed uit en was de gehele vakantie goed bereikbaar voor vragen en tips. Wij zouden het zeker andere aanraden!

Logement à la Hauteur de nos attentes.. proximité du spot 300m et centre ville à moins de 5mn à pied.. Merci Rosy de votre réactivité et efficacité pendant notre séjour. Notre semaine a été excellente à tous les niveaux. Encore Merci et A bientôt Didier

Apartamento com uma excelente localização, junto ao famoso pontão, na 2a linha da praia, ao lado da principal rua pedonal de Santa Maria. O único senão é mesmo o barulho do aluguer de motas que fica por baixo, audível na parte traseira da casa mas para quem sair de manhã e regressar à noite, não sentirá esse problema. Restaurantes próximos, ao preço dos portugueses (entre 5 e 15€ pp) e supermercados (chineses a preços proibitivos). Táxis à porta. Anfitrião sempre disponível e responsivo. Voltarei novamente a escolher este sítio.

What a wonderful place Luciano has created! Beautiful spacious apartment with amazing views across the sea and bay, and easy walking along the beach to the village. And Palmeira - what a fabulous village (a true taste of the ‘real’ Cape Verde) really lovely people, and amazing fresh fish at the Rotterdam Restaurant. Luciano is a lovely host, gave local recommendations, sorted transfers from/to the airport (and even let me use his washing machine!) This was the third stay for our first trip to Cape Verde, and totally made it!! If you are looking for something different from the ‘All Inclusive’ and more touristy areas of Sal, then would absolutely recommend this place - it’s just gorgeous.
