Beachfront vacation rentals in Porches

An absolutely fabulous place to stay! Beautiful location and outstanding views over the ocean. But the most fantastic part about the house other than a beautiful home to stay in, was how generous and kind our hosts were in taking care of us on this trip. Elsa waited up for us to check us even though our plane arrived extremely late and our drive in was long.Very kind and friendly and helpful! Will definitely go back!

Wir waren zu viert, 2 Mamis und 2 kleine Kinder. Uns hat die Unterkunft gut gefallen. Ursula hat immer schnell auf Nachrichten geantwortet und war hilfsbereit. Daa Haus ist wirklich strandnah und hatte alles was wir brauchten. Wenn das Wetter besser gewesen wäre, hätten wir auch gerne die Außenbereiche, Terrasse und Garten genutzt. Wir können die Unterkunft von Ursula empfehlen. Vielen Dank!

Our stay was absolutely magical! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the stunning location and the warm welcome from our host. The property itself exceeded all our expectations. The interior is beautifully designed with a perfect blend of charm and comfort. Everything was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with quality furnishings throughout. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, though we also enjoyed exploring the local restaurants our host recommended. What really sets this place apart is the incredible location. Being able to wake up each morning, enjoy coffee with breathtaking views, and feel completely relaxed in this peaceful setting made our vacation truly special.

Nous avons vraiment beaucoup aimé l’appartement de Tiago. À quelques mètres du centre ville ultra vivant d’Albufeira, l’appartement est au calme avec une très belle vue sur la mer ! L’appartement est entièrement refait à neuf et très bien équipé. Nous recommandons vraiment !

Great location, quaint and clean. Only stayed one night, wish we could have stayed longer. Perfect suite for our stay. Recommend for future travellers.

Es war alles super!! Sehr sauber, toller Ausblick, wunderschöne, ruhige Lage. Wir kommen gerne wieder!!

Die Unterkunft ist gut für größere Gruppen von 5-10 Personen geeignet. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Es gibt mehrere Kühlschränke und eine Spülmaschine, was sehr praktisch ist. Die Innenstadt von Lagos sowie der Strand sind jeweils 25 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt. Alles hat uns gut gefallen, wir würden wieder kommen :)

Wir haben wundervolle Tage in Saras Haus verbracht! Der Ausblick ist das beste, die gesamte Anlage ist sehr schön, gepflegt und sauber. Es ist alles da, was man braucht, die Küche ist super ausgestattet, jedes Schlafzimmer hat ein eigenes Bad - wir waren zu zweit mit unseren Sohn dort und hatten für zwei Tage Freunde im Haus, die dort auch genügend Platz hatten. Als Paar und als Gruppe ein super Haus! Sara antwortet immer sofort, die Kommunikation ist sehr freundlich und schnell. Wir haben nichts auszusetzen und würden das Haus und die Anlage immer weiterempfehlen.

Gorgeous beach just a little walk away. Town is very nice w beach bars etc. house has awesome views. Views when in pool are not good due to wall. Suggest to maybe put up acrylic wall? Host was super responsive. We loved our stay at this very large house!

Wir bedanken uns von ganzem Herzen für den wunderschönen Aufenthalt! Wir Erwachsenen und Kinder haben uns alle mehr als wohl gefühlt und werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen. Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern war schnell, freundlich und auf den Punkt gebracht. Die Strandnähe ist unschlagbar, die Lage zentral aber trotzdem ruhig. Die Wohnung ist gemütlich, praktisch und toll ausgestattet. Auf Anfrage wurde uns sogar noch ein Sonderwunsch für die Ausstattung gebracht. Wir hätten uns nichts besseres vorstellen können! Herzlichst, Steff und Familie

Loved this place - it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was impeccably clean and nicely decorated and had lots of space. We felt safe staying there and it was in a quiet area. The nearby beach was within walking distance and offered a spectacular view at the restaurants overlooking it. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay at the quieter end of town - but it was a short 5 minute drive to some of the local attractions. The host had GREAT recommendations for local things to see and places to eat and was very friendly and responsive. Thanks Kasia for the great experience on our first trip to Portugal!

Vi var her 12 stk. med storfamilien frå Norge og Tyskland og koste oss veldig. Vi hadde god plass fordelt på 3 etasjer. Det meste var på plass. Det var fint å bu så sentralt, men likevel så roleg. Det hadde vore bra om ein kunne ha skaffa noen fleire stolar og solskjerming. Tusen takk, vi kommer gjerne tilbake.

Beautiful villa with pool and outside area including bbq. Loads of space for kids to play. Great location some really nice restaurants and bars all within walking distance. Rabbbit Beach is very close to the villa 5-10 mins walk. The old town is 10 mins in taxi and if you use Antonio (who did our transfers) him or his lovely wife Rosa can pick you up when needed. Manfred and Tracy were great hosts very helpful and give very good information regarding the local area for food / drinks etc. Villa is perfect for a group loads of space and eating / chilling areas - couple of shops within walking distance. Overall great stay.

Magnificent Manifesting! We had the most wonderful stay in this beautiful villa. Outside area was absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. Lovely outside cooking and dining area which we used a lot and the sea is much closer than appears in the pictures. Kitchen was well equipped and the local shops are an easy and beautiful walk to pick up any additional extras. Close to lovely restaurants and bars filled with friendly people and staff. Luz is a wonderful location to explore the Algarve however a week is not enough as there is much to see and do 😉. Just a note that the access to the pool area would not be conducive to someone with mobility issues but is beautiful. Something that everyone really appreciated was the very positive water pressure 😂 seems like a small thing however weirdly it matters. I would not hesitate to stay again or recommend this villa to friends and family. Ideally located, with charm and character in a beautiful location, sea breezes and with a fab host 🙏

Le logement un dans un endroit calme, un peu en retrait du centre historique. Mais une balade à pied de 15 mn vous permettra de vous y rendre. La piscine est bien agréable… et le logement coquet. Manuel et Gloria sont aux petits soins….tout en discrétion !

A lovely place to stay. Close enough to walk to everything you need. Great restaurants and local spar or baptiste. Will definitely come back x

Die Lage ist für Ruhesuchende ein Traum. Der Sonnenaufgang gegen 7:30 war ein perfekter Start in den Tag und dann wärmte die Sonne beim Frühstück. Am Abend haben wir den Ofen jeden Tag benutzt, dadurch war es gemütlich warm (Holz vorhanden - Danke dafür!) . Fürs Bad morgens gab es einen kleinen elektrischen Heizkörper, denn die Nachttemperaturen schwankten von 6 Grad bis 12 Grad - dadurch war es morgens recht frisch. Wir haben die Zeit hier sehr genossen, auch immer etwas geplaudert mit Andy und Astrid, die sich um das Gelände/Haus sehr liebevoll kümmern.

Unser Aufenthalt war wirklich sehr schön und entspannend. Der Ausblick vom Balkon und die direkte Strandnähe sind ein großer Genuss. Der Kontakt mit Ana und Joao ist absolut schnell und auch die Ankunft problemfrei und sehr einfach, da wir freundlich empfangen wurden. Die sehr gute Matratze des großen Bettes sorgt auch noch nach über einer Woche für entspannten Schlaf! Einzig die getönten Fensterscheiben im Wohnzimmer halten den Raum leider etwas dunkel. Im Sommer mag das vielleicht auch von großem Vorteil sein. Kurzum, die Lage, der Ausblick und die Ausstattung sind klar empfehlenswert.

An absolutely brilliant stay at Lisa's apartment which is very large with a beautiful view and everything in the accommodation was top class. It's within easy access to 2 beaches and has fantastic views on a relatively quiet complex. Lisa couldn't do enough from start to finish an excellent host and I would recommend Lisa and her property to anyone.

We had a fabulous stay, apartment is great with all amenities available and amazing location! We will be back

Pedro is an amazing host and is highly recommended as he is very responsive whenever you message him! He helped save our trip by letting us check in after 3am. Local recommendations are provided at the house, it has a very spacious common area, quiet and safe neighbourhood and amazing pool! Only downside is the women of our group think he is too attractive. 😂

Era lo que esperábamos, ya que al estar en el centro del Algarve, nos hemos podido mover en ambas direcciones y visitarlo casi todo.

Marina's place in Albufeira was amazing - just as listed! In a quiet, walkable neighborhood directly above the city restaurants. Easy access to everything in town and yet so quiet! This place was perfect for our family of 4 and my two daughters enjoyed having their own bed but staying in the same room together. Marina's communication was great - great instructions in accessing the place, and guidance around the unit. Not being too familiar with induction stovetops, I contacted Marina for some help and she was immediately responsive. The kitchen had everything we needed and the addition of a Washer AND Dryer was much needed for those beach days - of which we had several! Upper floors are nice and had amazing views of the surrounding area, I can understand why Albufeira is so popular. Our family made use of the provided beach toys as well as beach umbrella and beach towels, all very nice. Make sure to try the Tres Coroas restaurant just steps away!

This is a beautiful apartment in a really nice area, which is very accessible to the beach and a nice walk on the boardwalk to the old town area. The view is stunning and it was lovely to wake up to in the morning ! The apartment was clean and had all the amenities that we needed with a family of four, two younger children included. My only complaint was a communication timeline on the day of our checkout where I had requested for our luggage to be held so we can enjoy the beach before our 1:30 PM train. I received a response four hours and 40 minutes later from my 9 AM message to the host Check out time was 10 AM and we had quite a few tasks to complete before. I don’t like having to take out trash while also paying a cleaning fee. We were instructed to take the trash out to a garbage bin, but we had no idea where that was, and there was no instructions left for us as to where that was. Providing paper towels would’ve helped us clean up some spilled wine, we use a white towel.
