Beach house vacation rentals in Alvor

Close to the beach, and ice cream parlour with great ice cream :) my kids and I were so excited. we had a great stay. Clean space, lots of storage, outdoor shower, private backyard, communication with the owner perfect. We loved it and hope to come back someday:) thank you

Very cozy home, with nice view from the balcony (the flowers were in bloom, that added to the experience). The outside of the building did not correspond with the cozy inside. 5 minute walk from the lovely beach, 10 minute walk to the supermarket.

Francisca's villa has everything you could possibly need. Its in a beautiful and central location. We hired a car so we could visit Lagos, Sagres and Bergau (which were less then 30mins drive) but if you wanted to stay out you would be very happy here, with a beautiful beach on your doorstep and a great selection of restaurants and bars within minutes to be all to. Francisca gave great recommendations as to which to try. She was a responsive and helpful host. We will be back! Thank you souvh Francisca x

We enjoyed the village of Salema from Helena's place! The house was just as in the photos - homey feeling, steep stairs, three bedrooms, two kitchens, two bathrooms, three levels, clean, itsy bitsy terrace looking out on the beach and our favourite - a toilet and shower outdoors on the top level. Very unique and special. Our favourite part about the house was the proximity to the beach; literally steps away through a short alley. We loved walking back and forth on the promenade, watching families on the beach, hikers cutting through town and retired ex-pats walking their dogs or stopping to chat with one another. There was a small area with a cafe, shops, restaurants and bars that provided for our needs. The supermarket was a five minute drive up the road. Highly recommend Helena's place.

This was the most gorgeous house with an amazing view. It was exceptionally clean and soooo amazing. Joao was an amazing host. It was my favorite places so far in Portugal. Can’t say enough about it. No words can describe its beauty

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 🙏

My husband and I had a very comfortable five night stay at Pedro’s place. The unit was cozy, spacious, and well equipped. We were greeted with a bottle of local wine, water, and oranges. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the terrace with a view of the sea. Though there was also a lovely shared pool, we didn’t make use of it. A highlight for us was the spectacular nearby coastal walking path, and the small local beach. It was handy to have a rented car to explore the area and to buy groceries. We did a day trip to Tavira and drove to nearby Carvoeiro for dinner a couple of times. I would definitely recommend Pedro’s place.

What a gem! The 2 minute walk to the most beautiful beaches with cliffs was spectacular. Walking and hiking trails galore. We were blown away by the beauty. Paula was responsive and kind. Perfect mid point location in the Algarve. We drove west to Lagos (kayaked the caves there) and Sagres, then drove east to Tavira with stops along the way in Quarteira and Vilamoura. You will not be disappointed. If I could it 10 stars I would.

We really enjoyed our stay in Helen’s spacious house. There are 3 bathrooms which made our stay so comfortable with a 3 generation family. The pool has sun in the morning till early evening and we could eat outside which was very enjoyable. Helen was so responsive and helpful and Luis drove us to the local supermarket as our arrival was late. It’s a bit of a walk to town but we were keen to explore the way in town and the harbour. Can only recommend.

We (a group of 12 girls), had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at Isabel's Air B&B. It was a beautiful villa with a large pool and terrace. The inside was clean and spacious with enough room for 12 of us! The location was great, situated on a quiet road, 5 minutes walk away from a beautiful beach, and 10 minutes walk from the new town. The old town was only a short 10 minute uber ride away. Isabel was a great host and was very communicative and responsive to any queries we had during our stay. Overall, we would highly recommend staying at Isabel's villa, the location, pool and value for money made for a great stay!

We would recommend this villa 100% Stayed with a group of friends to celebrate a big birthday and had a ball. It has everything you need plus things you hadn’t thought of! The pool area and roof terrace are perfect. Beautifully furnished; making you feel right at home. Easy to get taxis (April) and a few good local restaurants to walk to. Shout out to the Italian down the road; had a fab meal there. All in all a very memorable stay 😊

We stayed a week in this villa, and absolutely loved it. Our group was 2 grandparents, 2 children and 2 adults. The house was good for all of us. Stunning views, and plenty of outside terraces to sit, shade and sun. It is very quiet in the night. Beach, shops and restaurants all at good walking distance, which was very important for us. If the wheater is not that good, the house is well equipped with games, movies and toys. We love cooking, and the kitchen was very well equipped. There is a very complete travel guide to answer all your questions, ex restaurants, shops and manual all very well described. We would definitely recommend this place and hope to go soon again! Big compliment to the communication with Kate. Very helpful and flexible. 10/10!

There were six of us and every one of us was very happy with the villa from the beginning. The villa is much larger than in the pictures and gives everyone enough space to enjoy their vacation. The saltwater pool and outdoor area are the highlight. On too windy days on the beach, you always have a plan B to still lie in the sun. In addition, the converted garage with ping pong table etc. is just great and almost gives you the feeling of not wanting out of the house, as you just have everything you need.

It was like a home away from home. Would have loved to stay.

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Phillip and Isabelle’s place. We were welcomed with a kind note as well as a local bottle of wine! The small town of Luz is adorable and very quiet and peaceful, exactly what we were looking for in a vacation home. Their guide/instructions were very clear and easy to follow with some local recommendations. The space was more than adequate for my wife and I and would be perfect for 2 couples or a small family. The views are stunning with gorgeous sunrises every morning over the ocean. Unfortunately the pool never heated for us, but they did try to troubleshoot it multiple times. Despite that issue I still highly recommend staying at this property if you’re looking for an accessible, clean and quiet vacation home while still being close to many other areas within a short drive. Thanks for hosting us and we hope to return again in the future!

We have just returned after an amazing week. A family holiday with small kids and grandparents. The house is perfect, the location is 20 steps to the most perfect beach, the house is comfortable and we wanted for nothing. Pool was such a treat. Ice cream kiosk right outside back door !! (Kids loved) .. town is lovely for a relaxed family holiday.. memories made for life. Owners so helpful , communication perfect and so helpful highly recommend we will definitely be back . A hidden oasis with amazing views from every window .. only problem is we didn’t want to leave

We never met João, but the property manager Magdalena was so lovely and helpful. She was truly amazing and a huge part of our positive experience She also works at the restaurant inside the gated community. She is a very valuable contact. The location is as good as it gets. The house is very updated and has a great layout. 2 rooms are in the front and 2 rooms are in the back. Perfect for 2 families with kids. Awesome upstairs deck, plus a patio/side yard. The only thing we were not impressed with were the mattresses. They seemed stiff and bouncy. But that’s a personal opinion, and does not mean every guest will feel the same way. We went on a guided tour to the famous Benagil cave, and I must say, the beach in front of this property is almost the same experience, but without the inevitable crowds and regulations that are now imposed at Benagil. Just get a kayak and you will be amazed without having to drive anywhere. Awesome place. Would definitely stay here again.

Jose and his Uncle Manuel exceeded our expectations. The view of the ocean was spectacular. Also Manuel entertained us with several songs on his accordion.

This is a beautiful house in an idyllic location. The views of the beach and dunes are stunning. Felipe, the host, went above and beyond to help us. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this house for a peaceful holiday.

Simply wonderful. Amazing location next to a beautiful beach. An excellent house (5 stars). A very friendly host. This airbnb exceeds any expectations.

The property is amazing, the pictures and description doesn't do the place justice. It was better to what we were expecting. The place was fully equipped with everything you needed. There was a balcony at the bedrooms the kicthen and the living room which was such an amazing feature. The shared pool was clean and deep was so good and quiet such a relaxing area to be in. There was a smart t.v where you can cast your phone apps too and there was netflix already on the t.v felt right at home and the place was so cosy and spacious 10/10 would 100% recommend !

Very family friendly house and quiet neighbourhood. The house was well equipped and the host very responsive and easy to communicate with. Quick 5-10 mins walk to S.Rafael beach. Local amenities, Albufeira centre and Gale Beach within 10 mins drive.

We were welcomed by Anna. She was very friendly and full of information that was helpful to us. The villa is clean and beautiful and was a great home base for our traveling family of 5 adults. We all had plenty of room and were comfortable. The beach and points of interest were nearby. The pool is a great spot to hang out and refresh yourself. We loved it and would definitely recommend it.

Our stay was great, would love to visit again!
