Apartment D. João III
João is an excellent host, he provided us with the tips about how to best see Azores in the 4 days that we were there and was proactive in making sure we had everything we needed. The apartment exceeded our expectations. It is much larger than we expected, each room is spacious including the kitchen and the two bathrooms. Each room has a sliding door to the balcony the size of which is more like a terrace. The location is quiet and the downtown Ponta Delgada is accessible in 15 minutes of walking. Grocery stores are nearby. The apartment has everything to the last detail, nothing is amiss, down to the laundry detergent, dishwasher tablets., and Q-tips. And if you need anything, João is only a one text away.

Margarida House - Stone Apartment
Álvaro was an amazing host, the area was beautiful and he was able to provide many recommendations on stuff to do in the area. For others like us who wanted to explore the whole island it is a great central location that can get you to all sides in under an hour. Definitely will be recommending to our friends and family who will be visiting the island, thanks Álvaro!

Casinha do Monte
A house with everything that you need! Excellent spot if you want to visit the Nordeste area. Very friendly hosts, provided us with everything we needed. Very good surroundings, having breakfast staring at the sea was great!

Green & Blue 3Br / city + sea view
We were more than happy with our choice of staying with the Blue and Green accommodation. Jorge and Teresa were very helpful and accomodating. with many suggestions for things to do and see. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. with all we needed.

epicenter SANTACRUZ
Epicenter was the perfect central location to explore Sao Miguel during the day, and enjoy the privacy of home at night. The neighbors are a little noisy so bring ear plugs but the amenities here made it well worth it!

Slope House 2
We’re so thankful to have Jose as our host. He loves Sao Miguel and helped us experience its beauty and uniqueness. He was very helpful in making suggestions tailored to our interests and desired experience. Jose helped with hiking trails, restaurants and whale watching companies. So many thanks for an amazing time in Sao Miguel. We’ll be back!

Azor Beach Lodge
One of the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had! Everything was Perfect.

Lila Beach Apartment
We had a great time at Sylvia’s place. The place was clean and very well maintained. The host was very responsive. We had a little issue with plumbing and the host was very prompt in fixing the issue as soon as we reported it. The view from the apartment is great with ocean view in living room as well as master bedroom. Beach is just 5 minutes away.

Lucky Life- Sea front house in the city limit
Manuela was there to greet us and show us around. She answered our questions and had local restaurant recommendations. ( Cais 20 was my favorites and within walking distance ) There also is another restaurant nearby Jardim do Mar, with a small play area for kids. The house was exactly as depicted and clean. The view of the water is amazing. This location is close to downtown and night life. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

House with garden and direct access to the sea
The house was clean and bigger than I expected. They had everything we needed. The back yard is gorgeous! Walk out to the ocean, have breakfast and listen to the waves. 20 minutes to Ponta Delgada, under an hour from anywhere on the whole island. Absolutely recommend!

Beach view house! nice restaurants. swimming area
Highly recommend this place for a couple traveling together. It was clean and a great location. Andre was proactive with instructions and recommendations before we arrived and he was super responsive when we had questions.

Casa da Pipa
We can’t say enough great things about Miguel’s place. The house was perfect for our group of four—a beautiful, peaceful space to relax and recharge after long days of walking and hiking. The photos honestly don’t do it justice; it’s even more stunning in person. The sea pool is absolutely incredible—one of the highlights of our stay. We would return in a heartbeat!

Casa dos Pedros (Beach House)
We cannot say enough about how much we loved this place! The host was amazing and extremely accommodating. The house is beautiful with SPECTACULAR views. Everything was close either walkable or a short drive. Did I say that the host was amazing yet!???!!!! Bruno made our stay comfortable and relaxing. He is one of the best hosts we have ever stayed with.

Casa O Refúgio
Maria's place was fantastic - Ana was so helpful at check-in and gave wonderful recommendations for the island. The house itself was incredibly charming, and the real star was the backyard garden and natural pools. Lagoa was also a great place to stay if you have a rental car, as you can get to either side of the island pretty easily. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Ocean Gem
We have just returned from a wonderful week in Riberia Grande staying at this perfect home. The home is spacious, modern and spotless. There were only 2 of us, but the unit can accomodate 4 (or more, there may be a pull out sofa). There are 2 full bathrooms, tons of closet space and the bed was extremely comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could need for cooking and eating meals at home. We had breakfast at home so only used the fridge, coffee maker and teapot along with dishes and glasses. Everything was very clear, and Joe was extremely quick to respond, even helping us with making reservations. Joe provided a helpful list of suggested places to visit. I am so happy we chose to stay in Riberia Grande, as it was easy to get everywhere on any end of the island. Joe also provided the name of a car rental which for a small fee met us at the airport when our flight arrived, and dropped us off for departure. The location is literally a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach!

SURF BEACH _Santa Barbara Secret Gardens(RAL-1155)
When we booked the home many months ago, Vitor was quick to greet us and made us feel like it was going to be a great place to stay, fast forward to the day when we took possession of the home, Vitor greeted us with a big smile (I had pictured him differently) but when he greeted us for the first time, it was like we had known him for a long time- a friend, we know that we will be going back in a few years and we will make sure we connect with Vitor again, it was a pleasure and a beautiful well located home, close to all that we wanted to visit. 5 ++ Stars

Toi et Moi Downtown- Reviews speek for themselves!
Loved our stay! There was a bit of an ant problem but we’re pretty sure that was due to the weather/season. Sara is a lovely host, and was very clear in her messages.

Ilhéu at sight
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.

Vila Franca do Campo Marina
We loved our stay! You can see the ocean off one side of the patio. Walkable to marina and restaurants. Great space.

Canto da Rosa
We stayed at Maria’s place for one week with our 11 month old baby as she provided all (and more) of the baby essentials (high chair, pack and play, baby bath, towel, shampoo, etc.). Many additional amenities and extras were provided which were appreciated, including a dropped off breakfast one morning. Overall, we loved our time at Maria’s place, having access to guaranteed, private parking was a huge plus! The only downfall was that for the first couple of days there was a musty smell, which dissipated throughout the week. Maria was very responsive and allowed us to check in several hours ahead of the listed time, which was great as we had an overnight flight!

Sun and Beaches Apartment
Great apartment in an excellent location. Close to beach, supermarket, bar, cafe and on the bus line. Very quiet area. Our hosts were very gracious and friendly. Their hospitality and generosity exceeded our expectations to ensure that we were comfortable and that our stay on the island was enjoyable. Would most definitely recommend this apartment

Villa C Santa Barbara Beach - Moses Haven
Loved that there were all the amenities we needed. Place felt very homey - worth the price we paid for.

Beach Apartment WOW
Nice spacious accommodation in a central location! Fully equipped.

Consul's Ocean View II
This place is absolutely stunning, and is highly recommended. The property manager, Bruno, was very responsive and offered up so many suggestions for local food, shopping, etc. He even took the time to create a full itinerary for each day of our stay, which was not requested by us…a nice touch. The property itself is in a great location, walking distance to town (~30 minutes…a 5 minute drive), and the view from the balcony was amazing. The ONLY thing to note was the smell of standing water which seemed to be coming from the main bathroom (nothing an air freshener couldn’t fix though). Small things like the salt and pepper shakers being empty, and no dishwasher tabs is something to note too, BUT, there are two big grocery stores just minutes from the place (by car). Not an issue. Something to note…if you travel between May 28 and June 1 - the parish across the street has their annual festival, and they don’t stop the party until around 2am. Something we were surprised about.
