Beachfront vacation rentals in Gafanha da Encarnação

This is a spacious, light, extremely well-equipped and spotlessly clean duplex with lovely views of the sea from 2 of the terraces, and morning sun on the other terrace which overlooks the street. It is a 2 minute walk to the beach and there are plenty of bars, restaurants and shops in the immediate vicinity. Communication with Nerieda was very fluid, and check-in and out were very easy, in fact she was there to meet us and show us around when we arrived. Definitely recommended.

Spacious pristine apartment overlooking canal. Lovely small balcony so you can watch the boats sail by. Kitchen has everything you could possibly need and lots of coffee pods and dishwasher tablets provided. Ely and Fatima were so helpful and very pleasant to deal with, also flexible and prompt.

We went with 3 other friends to Pedro's Airbnb and had a great time, a very functional apartment and close to the beach for surfing! Pedro, from the first day of communication, was very kind, giving clear instructions. All the amenities inside were useful and the space outside was nice to eat on sunny days.

We loved Angelo's apartment. it was clean, nicely decorated, had all the amenities that you would ever need and the view of the sea was beautiful. Angelo is an excellent host and went above and beyond to answer all our questions and help with anything we needed. An awesome place to stay.

The house met all expectations, it was quite clean and tidy. There were several kitchen products that I was not expecting, such as coffee maker, food spices, cleaning products, which became very useful during the stay. Localiza is located in a quiet area, but with a supermarket, restaurants and cafes at the foot.

Very nice! A little humid, but understandable since it’s very close to the beach

Lovely house, great location, stunning views. We loved Costa Nova. Thank you so much!

A magnificent apartment in the modern house, with super nice decor. Very stylishly decorated with Portuguese charm! Everything top and clean! Best location, 1 minute to beach, kiosk, bakery and several restaurants with cheap but great food, where even police officers go out for dinner during their break! To the train station 10 minutes, to Porto about 35 minutes. To Lidl also only about 10 minutes. "Quiet" location but in the middle of the locals, the fishermen provide the rest of the authentic flair! We will be back!

Wonderful place to stay. Felt relaxed immediately. Very friendly & welcoming with everything you need for a perfect holiday. Will definitely return.

Spacious apartment, pretty, in a quiet residence, by the sea, with swimming pools, sauna, gym. the apartment is well equipped, clean , with a balcony with pool and sea view! in October it's very quiet. lots of things to see around ovar and 40 min from port. to improve: mattresses that lack comfort in our opinion (the one in the master suite is very uncomfortable ) , the bedding is very clean however like the rest of the apartment! had a great time with the family Thanks

The apartment is spacious and located in a prime area, just across from the beach. Plenty of good restaurants, cafes, and pastry shops within walking distance. The host was very responsive and quick to address any questions. Only two sets of bath towels were provided for two guests staying eight nights. An additional set of towels would have been helpful.

Sjoerd and Joana's house is everything you need to disconnect and feel right at home. Sjoerd and Joana have lent us their beautiful house where nothing is missing. The village of Quiaos and its beach is perfect for resting, walking along the beach and sitting in a beach bar to watch the sunset. From there we were able to make excursions to Porto, Aveiro or Coimbra. The highway connection is perfect. We'll never forget the dinners in the courtyard listening to the sea in the distance. Silence, rest, nature, beaches, tourism all in one place. Don't hesitate to choose this house for your next vacation. Thanks for sharing your home Sjoerd and Joana.

Loved our two weeks in Marta’s apartment. Marta and Costa are great hosts and even made it possible for is to arrive at 1 a.m. They also provided breakfast for the following day. The apartment was perfect for our family of 5 with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The apparent was very clean and well equipped even with a dishwasher and a washing machine. The terrance is very big overlooking the huge pool with plenty of vacant chairs. The location is excellent only a few minutes walking from the beautiful beach and an area with lots of good small bars and restaurants.

The host was very friendly, despite a very late check-in, he was waiting for us . We received a welcome basket where he thought of important products for the first day of the stay. We received links with instructions on the Internet, codes, etc. It was amazing how we asked the host to book a table in a restaurant, even though he couldn't get through on the first day, he remembered And the next day he booked us a table for dinner . The neighborhood was beautiful, the view of the ocean, the pool , the peace , the two terraces . I highly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you again Joao for everything we will definitely visit again.

First of all, I would like to thank Marta and Leonel for their hospitality. They provide exceptional attention to the comfort of their guests and anticipate their needs. In addition, the nature around the apartments is unique - a magical forest starts right around the corner, huge empty sandy beaches are a 5-minute walk away. Cortegaça is a really small village, but it has the most necessary things by foot: nice beach with showers and drinkable water, a local supermarket with basics and a bakery with good bread. Some disappointing moments also took place. It was mentioned many times in reviews - plz finally renew this furniture on the terrace! A couple of chairs and a table are in terrible condition, and it's better to remove them completely. Also, not our hosts fault, but it was annoying: barking dogs during the night and crazy parking by the locals. Train station is a bit far. All in all, we spent 4 weeks at Marta's place and it was a memorable and pleasant experience. Thanks, guys!

We were only in Aveiro/Gafanha da Nazaré area for 2 days, but the apartment was a great place to stay. I can see it being incredible in better weather - the outdoor area was well outfitted. Unfortunately the storms moving through meant we didn't sit outside because of the crazy wind. Otherwise it was nice, clean, and Carmen & Zita were very helpful and responsive. Thanks!

We had a lovely stay! Ricardo and his wife welcomed us with kindness and homemade cake! Communication was easy and always helpfull. Wonderful surroundings in a peacefull neighbourhood. We would love to come back!

Lovely location near beach & amenities & the beach is beautiful. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Alex

The perfect place! Stunning views, perfectly located, conveniently close to super markets, restaurants and beaches yet quiet and relaxing. Isabel is a wonderful host, super friendly, responsive and helpful. Kitchen is very well equipped and everything is spotlessly clean. Parking is available right outside on the street, elevator is a plus.

Right on the beach. A bigger grocery store is a bit of a drive away though.

Last-minute accommodation booked for 2 nights, and it was enough to see that it was very well maintained. There was nothing missing, and beyond that, it felt very good. Thanks to the host for this as well as for their responsiveness in messages! I highly recommend, accessible price and more than pleasant environment since right next to the sea.

Very well-equipped house, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Excellent location, close to all that is needed (beach, market, supermarket, restaurants, etc.). Very responsive and very friendly hosts, excellent communication. The only if not is to stand right next to a cafe that is open until late, and on some nights there was a lot of noise from people on the terrace, which disturbed the rest (at least until 11:30 pm).

We had an amazing stay. Beatriz met us at the apartment and was very helpful providing us with tips of restaurants and the local bakery (Barra 99 - delicious bread, coffee, desserts and really cheap). The beach is a 2-3 minute walk. I’d recommend taking a windbreak. Plenty of bars and restaurants on the beach and in town. Local supermarket had everything we needed. The apartment was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need. Would highly recommend and may book again! Thank you 😀

Exceptionally well located apartment, very welcoming, functional, very well equipped, clean and with a terrace with exceptional ocean views. Sunset every night as a show, a delight. Everything was absolutely perfect! Communication with Julie, hosting by her friend, the little touches in the apartment. The perfect place to discover Portugal. 1.5 hours from Porto Airport and 2 hours from Lisbon. Easy parking in front of the residence.
