Beachfront vacation rentals in Costa Occidental

Super nice stay by the sea – highly recommended! The five of us and our dog enjoyed this spacious apartment very much. The location is perfect: right on the beach. Ideal for families with children! The outdoor and indoor spaces are spacious and inviting – perfect for relaxing or playing. Inside, everything has been taken care of to the last detail. The kitchen is fully equipped, making it easy for us to cook for ourselves. Nearby, there is a lot to do, both in good and bad weather. From beach walks to fun outings with the kids – there is plenty of variety. We felt right at home and had plenty of space to enjoy our vacation. This is one of those places you definitely want to come back to!

Excellent host who responded quickly and gave excellent check in instructions and videos. Apartment spotless and as described. Exactly what we wanted for our stay

Beautiful beach house with lovely decor - everything we needed for cooking and relaxing. The location is so wonderful, right next to the sea. Faro is easily accessible, we loved the little ferry which crosses from the island to town. All the nearby restaurants had great dishes. Sonja and Sergio were extremely kind and welcoming. It was a perfect holiday for us in every way 🌞

Everything was perfect. I had an amazing experience. The car is amazing. It has everything you need and is easy to drive. And the staff is so friendly and always ready to help. I definitely recommend it.

This house was above our expectations. We stayed at Manuel's house for a number of weeks. The house is in a lovely quiet location overlooking Islantilla Golf Course. It is only a short 10 min walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. The house is well equipped with everything you could possibly need and more for a long or short term stay and absolutely spotlessly clean. Thank you so much to Jamy for all her help over the number of weeks. Such a friendly person. I would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful property.

Fantastic. Great apartment close to the beach. Beautiful, spaceful, matched exactly the pictures. Great host always willing to help. Recommended

The house of José e Cátia is very cozy and still has 2 wonderful terraces!! Communication with José was excellent. He received us with great joy. We were close to everything, the festival, the beach, the restaurants, the groceries… I loved spending these days at Fuseta and playing at the festival. Thank you!! And I hope come back to your home at Fuseta!

Lovely place with a large terrace overlooking the harbour. Beautiful place to sit in the evening and have a drink. Everything was great and would come back. Only word of warning is that we followed the app's directions and ended up in the wrong place. Make sure to get a PIN from the owner who is very responsive.

Fantastic place and a great base for exploring the Algarve. The marina is a couple of minutes walk and has a few bars and restaurants . The old town is a five minute walk, which has loads of restaurants and places to eat, bakeries for your fresh De Nata. Take a short boat ride to the islands of Armona and Culatra, which has breathtakingly beautiful beaches and a really cool beach bar ran by two of the happiest people I’ve ever met. Boats costs us around €14 return (2 adults, 2 kids 11 & 8) and takes 30-40 minutes, well worth it. To get around just Uber, it’s very cheap! Taxi to Faro around €9 and Vilamoura €20.

We had a great time. The accommodation is very well located. The city centre is within walking distance. The apartment is impeccable and very well equipped. I would recommend it in a second.

We absolutely loved staying at this place, and could have happily stayed permanently haha. The first evening we watched a beautiful sunset with a homecooked meal (Lidl in Tavira) and the following morning all walked down to the nature reserve past the animals that our 3 year old loved, and watched the sun coming up with a coffee and it was pure heaven. Very family/child friendly, lots to do and the pool was quiet and great fun! The sun still there late October to top up the tan. More than enough to do in the surrounding areas, we were just happy to sit around the pool and relax. Despite the neighbours nearby, it feels 100% private and secure. The pool is communal but wasn't too busy. Rosa is lovely and always there to help. The internet isn't super strong, but you can get a signal booster from Rosa if you need it for anything. My phone had 4G/5G so I was fine. Everything you need. A bit dated but its fitting with the villa and the area. Would 100% stay again!

Lovely and peaceful stay and a perfect location to explore the amazing area in and around Tavira, a truly underrated part of the Algarve. The house is perfect for a small family. Very chilled, off the beaten path. Great stay and super easy!

The house is very nice and well located. It has everything it is needed for ver nice holidays. Definitely we would like to return

A beautiful villa with a huge pool surrounded by beautiful countryside. The kids loved exploring & the hosts were very responsive with a few issues which arose. We would love to return!

Friendly apartment with two separate rooms (kitchen parlor/ bedroom), and a large covered terrace. The flair of the former towable caravan can still be felt: the apartment is quite small, but it has everything you need, and a lot of it (e.g. beach towels, detergent...), all lovingly furnished. We particularly liked the super comfortable bed, good internet, the contact with the friendly hosts, the garden from which we were allowed to get ripe oranges at any time, the birds chirping in the morning when we awakened, and the Ria Formosa within walking distance. Thanks again to Bruno and Sara!

The description fully matches what we found, the apartment has everything, everything is very clean, the beds are very comfortable. Very good area with restaurants and supermarkets within a 5-minute walk. Access to the beach is just a few minutes' walk through a pedestrian area in front of the exit of the residential development. We will definitely be back.

Marvellous place to stay. Great beach, beautiful wetlands, fantastic birdwatching. The ferry trip back and fore to Faro is a treat. We cycled along the coast both ways from Faro and hired kayaks for a day to explore the wetland, both are brilliant things to do. Some nice places to eat in Praia de Faro, especially Restaurante O Rui. Good seafood restaurants to be found in Faro too. Sunset from O Castelo bar is not to be missed, and Fado singing nights are an experience.

Islantilla's house is very comfortable, clean and fresh. The owners are looking forward to all the time, facilitating the stay and giving suggestions. It's close to the beach, shopping, and dining. It is very nice to have breakfast on the terrace overlooking the garden and listening to the birds. The trees in the garden give good shade for most of the day.

Lovely gardens and a very decent pool, pity about the weather, but this is March. Thank you both very much xx

We loved our Stay at Scott’s place. His apartment is spacious, clean and only 100 metres walk to the 1st resort swimming pool where you can eat decent food and delicious Algarve orange juice if you like. The resort itself is a nice place to be and all the staff were very helpful. The closest beach and other restaurants/bars are just a short walk away. Yes the bed is comfortable and big. Would come back!

Fuseta is a great place to stay if you want to explore the Rio Formosa. We were met by Iryna at the property who couldn’t have been more helpful and informative. The property was clean and well equipped with a lovely roof terrace overlooking the sea. It is on the outskirts of the town but is within a 15 minute walk of a selection of good restaurants and bars. We used the local train to travel both into Faro and towards the Spanish border and found the service both reliable and inexpensive. The weather during our stay wasn’t great but we enjoyed our holiday. The only negative point is that there is some building work in the vicinity( March2025) which detracted from what would otherwise be a great location overlooking the town, fields and sea.

Fabrício communicated very well and arrived on time to meet us. The place looks exactly as per pictures. Very convenient to bus and train station. Short walk away to the marina and other sight seeing places. Definitely recommend this place.

The accommodation in El Rompido is excellent. Located on the main street of the village, with public and free parking very close to the house and the pier where you can take the boat to the arrow. The house is beautiful, with all the amenities you could need. It is very spacious. The beds are excellent. We really enjoyed our days of rest in the area. We recommend this place.

House was so cute and very clean. Host was super friendly!
