Cottage

A short distance from scuba diving, whale-watching, and more, this beach cottage lets you experience it all. You'll easily make the 18-minute drive to Paul do Mar Beach or the 19-minute drive to Ponta Do Sol Beach.

After you return to this 646-sq-ft cottage, you can unwind at the beach (enjoy the sun loungers!), chill by the communal pool, or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the porch or lanai. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and stereo.

As you settle into this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental, you'll find a safe, air conditioning, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. The kitchen is equipped with a stovetop and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and an ice maker. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
