Kid-friendly vacation rentals in São Miguel Island

Dino’s home is one of the top three AirBnBs that we have stayed in, and we have stayed at over 30+ AirBnBs from Peru to Portugal, Europe and the US. Moreover, he is easily the best host we have ever stayed with. He was waiting for us when we arrived and spent 30 minutes showing us where everything was and how to use it. I would strongly recommend his home to anyone looking for a beautiful home in a beautiful location.

Our stay at the property was amazing - the house is even more beautiful in person. It had all the necessary facilities and the host was extremely helpful, answered our questions very quickly and very flexible all throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend a stay here and look forward to coming back!

A nice welcome awaited us. It was clean and the host provided a lot of amenities. I recommend this place!

Perfect location. Perfect place. Marie was so helpful by sending us a lot of tips and places to visit. Thanks for your hospitality Marie!

I stayed in 5 different homes on my trip to Portugal and Pedro’s place was by far the nicest. A beautifully designed home combining old and new with lovely finishes and yet welcoming spaces. Pedro was so helpful and accommodating. Hopefully we will return to Castinheiro one day.

What a beautiful home!! It is in a great location, with a gorgeous view of the coastline from the spacious deck and from inside the home. Everything was provided, we did not need to contact Fatima for anything during our stay. She let us enter the unit before check-in when we arrived earlier than expected. The place is very clean and well kept, you can tell that she takes pride in her home. She left a goodie basket of local food items on the counter which was delicious and very much appreciated! If you plan on staying in Sao Miguel, I would highly recommend this place!

As older family members we couldn't be happier. Sven is a welcoming host and easy to approach. Nothing was out of his purview. The home is warm, clean and complete, but mostly the view is beyond expectations. The location is central to all on the island and we felt at home. Happy to stay in as well as explore. Sven's restaurant list was a plus as well as all things covered on his "list". I definitely expect to return and would hope to stay at Casa de Ilheu.

Great place in a quiet village. Close to very nice views and hicking trail (with a car). Wonderful view from the terrasse.

We had a great time here! The view is amazing and the appartment is more then complete. Everything you need is available. The communication with Miguel was easy and he gave us all the information we needed for our stay. When we arrived there was enough food for the next day, what a great service! We can really recommend a stay here, you will never forget it!

Really beautiful place to stay. The garden feels like a fairy tale! Would definitely recommend.

Well-equipped clean, spacious apartment, washing machine, dryer, hair dryer, iron, equipped kitchen. Private parking. Convenient location for excursions. Great communication with the owners.

This is a lovely apartment with an incredible view of the mountains and beach. It’s rather basic in decor, but comfortable. All in all, a very good place

We spent 9 days in Carlos’s apt. The location is absolutely perfect, just a couple of blocks from the main square (city gates), and on walking distance to plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and retail markets. Private parking is available which is a huge bonus. The apt is modern and very clean. There was not one thing the apt didn’t have that we needed for our stay. The bed was super comfortable, the pillows were just perfect and the bath towels large and fluffy. Better than most hotels! There is a 4 point locking system on the apt door that made us feel super safe. Carlos was a fantastic host, checking in with us mid week to see if we needed anything. He was kind enough to leave us some umbrellas for our stay. Definitely choose to stay here again on our return trip to Sao Miguel!

This modern and well decorated apartment was a true hidden gem! Very spacious for the two of us, and with a fully equiped kitchen. The bed was large and comfortable, and everything was spotless clean. The pool was beautiful and heated, a very tranquil place to rest after our flight cancellation. Communication with Baptiste was very responsive and it was a pleasure to be greeted by his wife upon arrival. They are great hosts and made our first days on the island unforgettable.

We really enjoyed staying at Isabel’s place. It was beautifully decorated and very spacious. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need for your stay. We enjoyed sitting outside and in the cozy living room. The location was ideal for our daily road trips on this beautiful island. Isabel was very quick to respond to any question we had. We could not have asked for a better place to stay!!

We had a lovely stay here! The apartment is beautifully designed, with a stunning sea view, a well-equipped kitchen, and a spacious, modern bathroom. The balcony was perfect for enjoying our morning coffee. There’s a popular restaurant right next door, and although the apartment is located a bit outside the Ponta Delgada city center, it’s a peaceful area with enough parking nearby. We had a car, which we’d recommend, but also walked into town along the scenic coastline-it takes about 30 minutes. All in all, a great base for exploring the island!

Monique provided a great experience. She was very nice and accommodated us with our early arrival.

The space was fantastic for a family of five. Well positioned to walk everywhere. Having covered parking was a lifesaver as there is nowhere to park on the streets. Claudia was so nice and responsive. Will definitely stay here again!!

This was a very well situated home that felt private and secure. The unit was bright and clean. The kitchen was stocked with basics needed. The bathrooms were clean and modern with plenty of toilet paper (could have used tissues). We were given 2 towels (one for home and one for beach/water activities) and a hand towel. I would have liked an extra towel for the week long stay. Storage in the bedrooms was great and loved the room darkening blinds! I personally felt the beds were too firm. The couch was equally as firm. For 2 people, the living room furniture was adequate but if you’re a group of 4 or more, there isn’t enough seating. The dining table seats plenty! The balcony furniture was great and my son loved lounging in the hammock and enjoying the surrounding beauty. The beach is literally a 5 minute walk with a decent restaurant on the beach. A rental car is a necessity to get around. Being centrally located meant easy access to all the island has to offer. Great stay!

mariana’s apartment is super comfortable and clean, great view and just some minutes away from a great beach, we had an amazing time there.

Moses' place was exactly as described. He took the lead with directions and instructions everything was super clear, clean and no problem. Great host and great location!

We had an amazing stay at Raquel’s place. The apartment is really clean and well decorated. We felt right at home. The view from the garden and the pool is amazing. It feels like a 5 star hotel. Thank you for everything

Gorgeous home with breathtaking views, modern, clean, well kept, well appointed. Laundry a plus. Had eggs and wine available to us at check in! Parking is a little tricky to get through the gate and orient the car so that it is easier to drive out but we figured it out quickly. Great location near airport and restaurants. Luis was very proactive about towels and linens.

Such a bargain for a delightfully decorated apartment with an incredible view and a hot tub on the terrace!!! The area was peaceful and stunning and the apartment had everything you could need! Definitely recommend :)
