Family-friendly vacation rentals in Foz do Arelho

We had an amazing stay at Carlos' villa with our group of 13 adults and 3 babies. The villa is incredibly spacious, with 12 full beds and additional sleeping options on the comfortable couches. The large garden was perfect for the kids to play in, and we thoroughly enjoyed the heated pool and spacious, clean Jacuzzi. The kitchen was slightly used but very functional, offering plenty of room and every kitchen item we could possibly need to cook for our group. The barbecue area is large, though located a little far from the kitchen by the parking area. The rooftop terrace provided stunning 360° views, and the sunsets were simply beautiful. The villa is located in a peaceful, quiet area, just a short 10-minute walk to the beach, which we loved. While walking to the beach is easy, having a car is ideal for reaching larger supermarkets, which are about a 13-minute drive away. Parking offers plenty of space Overall, this villa was the perfect choice for our large group. Highly recommended!

What an incredible apartment! It’s fully equipped, immaculately clean, and the beds are so comfortable—perfect for a good night's sleep. There are also so many useful items for kids, which makes it super convenient for families. The huge terrace and jacuzzi provide such a lovely space to relax. Hugo is truly a wonderful host—so polite and kind. I really appreciate your warm hospitality! Thank you for making our stay so special!

Beautiful house by the beach! We loved the peace and the view. The house is very comfortable and has a lot of charm (and a lovely little library). The kitchen especially is well-stocked. Since you’re surrounded by nature there are many spiders, snakes and lizards (mostly outside, thankfully). We visited in November and the temperature in the house really dropped at night (from 20C to 15C). The only option to heat is a small and somewhat noisy space heater, so if you visit in winter be prepared with warm clothes. That was the only thing we found difficult during an otherwise extremely pleasant stay. Pedro was a very friendly and engaged host!

We loved everything during our stay. The house is located in an exceptional place and Isobel and Renato are very attentive. Perfect stay with family. Little pieces of our hearts stayed there!

The apartment is really nice! Super clean and modern and the roof top terrace is definitely a nice thing on top. In general the apartment is well equipped and I really enjoyed my stay. Claudia also was very responsive regarding questions and everything is very well explained within the apartment. I’d love to stay there again at some point.

It was a week of well spent vacation, where we had everything we needed in the apartment (utensils/services/machines) as communicated to us by Mr. Luis. In the vicinity there are excellent places of gastronomy with good price/quality ratio. The place is quiet and with good access both for walking and to discover new destinations by car.

What an amazing stay! From the location, which embraces nature and brings incredible calm, to the house itself, equipped with all the necessary utensils for a perfect stay. I also have to thank Adriana and her father for the ease of communication and all the attention given! It will certainly be a place to visit again!

A beautiful condo on the beach with a view of the ocean. Line it’s a great layout and you’ll enjoy looking at the ocean. There is a restaurant next-door however we never had any issues with noise. I wish they had a faucet to wash your feet off after you came back from the beach, but that’s not the responsibility of this condo that the association should handle that.

Jane was a terrific person to deal with as we planned our return visit to Foz for our anniversary. Very quick to respond to our queries and offer up suggestions for our trip. Very hands on about the booking, even though she doesn’t live in the local area. Thanks Jane!!

Everything was perfect! Wish we had stayed longer.

We enjoyed our stay at Sandra’s place. She was very friendly and attentive and made us feel at home. The accommodation is close to all the local shops and restaurants which was very convenient. It was fitted with everything you can possibly need including a full oven and washing machine. We highly recommend Sandra’s place to anyone visiting Nazaré.

Great communication with the owner and easy check-in. The space exactly matches the listing description and the location is central. Near everything you need.

Very nice cottage! Beautiful decor, lots of space to store things. Spacious bathroom, with enough hot water. Beautiful outdoor seating, swimming pool nicely maintained. Upon arrival there was some bread, water, fruit, jam,... super attentive! Highly recommended, very nice area, a 10-minute drive away you are in shops, restaurants,...

Had a lovely few days at Maria’s gorgeous house in a great location inside the city walls . A charming place with so much character! Near everything but not too busy or noisy , perfectly positioned to explore the area . Maria was very informative and helpful on local recommendations. Highly recommend !

Unique location, with a perfect view and a beautiful beach no matter the weather! José was very friendly and helpful!

This beautifully updated traditional stone house exceeded our expectations in pretty much every way! It is quaint but with everything we needed for our 3-night stay, including good heat (which we used due to the chilly weather). We gave all 5s except one 4 because the house is right next to the road. The 18" thick walls in the house keep the noise to a minimum and the road is not busy at all, so no big deal. The host prepared a super-helpful booklet of nearby sights and restaurants that we referred to regularly (in both Portuguese and English). We can't recommend this place highly enough!

Fatima has created a little paradise! There you can relax and unwind. It is very quiet and if you want some privacy, this is possible on the extensive but winding grounds. There are small hidden and lovingly furnished corners with seating everywhere. Breakfast was perfect. :)

Had such a lovely week in Nazaré. Rachelle was such a great host - we were delayed due to flight delays on arrival and she waited until 1:30am to say hi to us and show us around. She was very responsive with replies and we locked our key in the house and she dropped one off straight away! The house was really clean and had lots of cooking amenities. We opted to have the pool heated for the extra €120 and I woukd definitely recommend this as it was really warm! The property is a little bit far outside of nazare centre, so you really need to get taxis to and from town but we used Ubers a lot which were only €4 each way. We surfed most days at Praia des pareses which is a lovely beach with great waves. Overall a lovely trip. Would recommend. Only minor issue was having to be quiet after 10pm and not use the pool after this time so if you are wanting a more party week then I’d probably look at other options. For us this was fine though :) Thanks Rachelle!

We had a wonderful family holiday at Maverick Surf Villas. Lots to do in the local area, stunning coastline, definitely need a car, but its easy to get every where, roads are very quiet. The villa was beautiful, so much space and everything you could need. Hosts were very helpful, gave us lots of advice on the local area and hosted some lovely dinners. Thank you so much.

Very pleasant house for a larger family with children and lots of sports equipment. Spacious with facilities to accomodate all needs - storage, cleaning, drying, cooking, relaxing. Clean and cleaned at no additional cost in the middle of the stay. Very nice host who remembers and fulfills promises and cares of guests´well-being even if requests beyond standard - in our case need for softer mattress due to back problems. Very quick and easy communication. ***** for the place and one more extra * for Rogerio :-)

Nice house for two families.

Wonderful place in a calm area

great location, close to restaus and supermarket. very clean, the garage was a huge plus. quiet and clean. Natalia was a great host, very reactive. would 100% stay again.

Very large house with private pool and really huge roof terrace. There were only two of us here, there are beds for 6 people and 2 bathrooms. There is a garage for the car, also enough parking space in front of the house. For surfing: only 10 minutes by car to Baleal and Supertubos is even closer. Thanks to Celia for the wonderful time!
