SeaBreeze@Bonimar
The place was fantastic The place is huge and has everything you could need The kitchen appliances looked brand new It’s an excellent place to stay with restaurants and supermarkets and the beach close by We liked it so much we extended our trip for another week!

Joy II
Great location and very close to the marina, cable cars, tourist areas, shopping and restaurants. Oh my goodness and the views from the balcony were amazing! I was traveling with my sister and we were able to walk around at night and feel safe. Could the bed be a little softer, yes but it did its job. Loved the shower, loved the building, loved the responsiveness of the host. Also loved it had a private parking space for the rental. One of the best parts is the welcome water!! We were so parched and it was a perfect greeting.

The Song of the Sea (Ocean View)
We have had the most wonderful holiday in Beautiful Madeira. Yana's apartment is absolutely amazing and the view was something else !!!! After a busy day to arrive back to this apartment and sit relaxing on the balcony was all that you needed. The view was never the same either calm seas or amazing waves and also looking over to Funchal Town. Lots of lovely restaurants near. Forum Mall a short walk away with lots of shops and a great supermarket. The walk into Funchal Town was about 50 mins but we used local buses which were cheap to use. Amazing treks ..waterfalls..coastline..worth going on an organised tour. We would recommend Yana's apartment 100%..we will most definitely return.

b view apartment
Second stay and certainly won't be our last. We have stayed in many air b and b's and B View is by far our favourite. Really feels like a home away from home, spotlessly clean and comfortable beds. Sitting out on the balcony overlooking Camara do Lobos is beautiful. The roof top pool and sun area has the same view. Before we checked in (when we landed), I had a bit of a mishap. Oscar was very kind to help up us.

Premium apt, bay and sea views | Bayside
one of the best apartments i have booked via AirBnB. Beautiful view from bedroom and kitchen. Can recommend this one for everyone! :)

The House in the heart of the city
Our stay at Patricia’s apartment in Funchal was excellent in every way! First of all, the location is perfect — just a 2-minute walk from Funchal Marina, right next to a supermarket, and very close to bus stops, which made getting around incredibly easy and fast. The apartment itself was in impeccable condition: spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped — it truly felt like a real home. We didn’t miss a thing — from appliances to kitchenware, everything was available and in perfect working order. Patricia was a wonderful host — kind, helpful, and always available. She was there for anything we needed and handled every little issue quickly and professionally. She really made us feel welcome and safe throughout our stay. We highly recommend this place and would definitely choose it again for a future trip to Funchal!

Apartamento Autonomia
We spent 4 weeks in Emanuels apartment. Walking distance to shopping, city center, and waterfront. Various bus routes just around the corner. We felt very welcome and the little practical issues that arose along the way were resolved instantly. Due to the location, there is a lot of traffic noise, but when it was too much, we closed the windows and the balcony door - and then it was ok. Emanuel is a great host who responded very quickly to questions. We were received very kindly and given great instruction. In addition, we got local tastings: -) We highly recommend a stay with Emanuel.

The View, Funchal
Scott's house is incredible, the view is sensational. The house is very spacious, ultra well equipped, very well decorated, and exactly as shown in the photos. The house is in a quiet location, and Funchal old town is easy to reach either by car (very easy and free on street parking on the side of the house), or by bus, (bus stop in front of the house). Communication with Scott was very easy, the house being ready before the usual check in time, we were able to arrive earlier. Thank you so much! I recommend it 150%.

JPL Blue Horizon Residential - Casa Blue B
We had a great time at Dina’s place. She is a great host. Everything was super clean and comfortable. It is very nicely decorated. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. We enjoyed the beautiful views from the balcony. It is in a good location and is very private and peaceful. We were able to walk to restaurants and stores. Checking in and out was very easy. Communication with the host is great. She is very responsive. We hope to stay there again in the future and we highly recommend.

Casa dos Francelhos, the charming house of Funchal
We stayed at Casa dos Francelhos, we were seven adults. The facilities were excellent. Antonio greeted us with kindness, guided us through everything we needed from the villa, but also gave great tips about Madeira's sights, shops, dining, and getting around. The week went smoothly in a villa with three bathrooms inside and a fourth outside. Fruit spreads, welcome wines, and beautiful flowers were waiting for us. Everything worked brilliantly. The outside patio and pool area was very cozy and beautiful. During the week, we also grilled on the outdoor grill. The location of the villa is great, the area is peaceful and the view of the sea is beautiful, we walked daily to the center. Backwards we often took a taxi, the youth walked back and got some useful exercise. Taxis were well received from the city center, next to the exit of the Pingo store, there were always several waiting for them. The bolt worked well too. We can highly recommend Casa dos Francelho!

House pc / private indoor pool
Beautiful house! Amazing host, Paula makes sure everything is great. She even dropped by in the evening to bring new sheets when our baby threw up on our bed. Too sweet. Also the communication with her was the best ever. Big pool, great garden to have morning coffee in the sun, lovely village on walking distance. Good to know that the water pressure of the showers are a bit low, we were able to get a good shower anyway. Paula is super flexible, we were allowed to stay in the house until our flight left that day because there was not a guest coming that day or the next. All in all we would recommend Paula’s place 1000%.

Ponte House
Outstanding hospitality and overall impeccable accomodation. Grateful for our beautiful vacation!

North Coast Cabana
We had a great time in the house and felt very welcomed! John was always reachable for us, if there was a problem or a question we had. We can just recommend it:)

Tropical house :) 2 min to the sea, views, nature
Our stay at the Madalena do Mar Airbnb was truly unforgettable. The home is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views that made every moment feel special. We were lucky to witness stunning sunrises and sunsets right from the deck. The hosts were incredibly responsive, kind, and went above and beyond to help with anything we needed. Their hospitality added so much warmth to our trip. This place made our first time in Madeira perfect. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway on this incredible island.

Sweet Brava Home - Pool & Sea view
Excellent, superb house with a magnificent panorama, very good swimming pool. Immediate proximity to Ribeira Braviz for shopping and restaurants. Very good location to explore Madeira. And in addition Gomez is very welcoming. In short, to be recommended.
Waterfront condo rentals

Amazing sea and city views, top location
Great penthouse in the middle of everything. The harbour in front, the old town on the right, a park on the left and the shopping centre behind. It is a really big apartment with a great terrace. It has two bedrooms and a well equipped kitchen. Parking is available in the garage below the building. There are many very good restaurants within walking distance. It was a personal welcome and we were given an introduction to the accommodation. It was a very nice stay and we can really recommend this apartment.

Ocean Luxury (all rooms ocean view + AC) - Apt. M
This place took our breath away as soon as we walked inside. Very special to be able to enjoy coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening on the balcony overlooking the water. Location was great to explore this beautiful island. We made our own meals in the kitchen and didn’t feel like we were missing anything. Definitely would recommend :)

Luxury View Apartament Funchal II (free parking)
Very pleasant communication, quick response. Good accessibility by car, underground parking space included. Close to the city center, great restaurants nearby, also within walking distance. Great recommendations from the host. Very nice, spacious apartment, well furnished, has everything you could ever need. Very clean!

Whitehouse408 Sw.Pool & Pvt. Parking
The apartment is in a great location. Tonnes of mixed restaurants nearby (some tourists may prefer if you want home comforts and others authentic Portuguese food) all just a walk away. A short walk to many local supermarkets too which is helpful when you need to quickly grab things. Private pool which was never busy and always quiet! We rented a car and the parking in the apartment is so accessible. We used the apartment as a base for many hikes so drove various distances from here to explore Madeira. Excellent host, great apartment and would stay in this airbnb next visit.

New dream luxury appartment in the Madeira Palace.
We were extremely comfortable and thought the location was perfect walkable to restaurants, grocery store, deus store and some shopping. Close to attractions in city.

Mesmerizing Funchal condo with best view/location
Beautiful apartment, clean, very spacious and wonderful views. The terrace is an amazing bonus, great for relaxing, sunbathing and eating. It has plenty of seating options and even a BBQ. The inside was also very comfortable and the bedrooms were spacious with lots of storage. We spent 2 weeks there and found it the perfect base from which to explore Madeira.

Luxury 3 Bedroom Flat with Sea View Terrace
This was the perfect place for my family of 4 for 5 nights. Roberto met us for check-in and guided us into the garage, easy to park and utilize the remote control. From there you access the elevator to the 5th floor. The condo is exactly as it looks in the pictures. Our 2 adult children were with us and the room situation was ideal. The weather could have been better, lots of rain, wind mixed with some sun. I chose this over some other homes because of the amazing patio with a view, we didn't use that much due to rain.We ate at Francos the second night, which is around the corner, it was good, but we discovered the streets closer to the water and hotels, and ate in that area the next three nights. We also found a great breakfast/coffee shop called the LOFT in the same area, super yummy and so reasonable. The kitchen was fine, and worked for breakfast on a few days. Good to know there is a washer, but no dryer, so you have a drying rack. We loved our stay here!

Penthouse Marina Sol 20785/AL
We had a very good time staying at Nelson and Paula's apartment. It is very spacious, very well equipped with everything you could need. But the most beautiful is the beautiful sea and mountain views. It is a lively location with a great hamburger tent in the parking lot in front of the apartment and plenty of restaurants nearby. We walked a lot in the area, but also liked to do the hike among the banana trees in Madalena do Mar. Communication was excellent. There is a new bed and that's fine! The apartment is definitely recommended!
