Waterfront vacation rentals in Povoa de Varzim

Ana was a wonderful host! She gave us excellent instructions for accessing the building and apartment plus a map of the area with personal preferences and famous places to see. The apartment was beautiful, met our every need and was walking distance to the metro and also to stroll through the streets of Gaia down to the Douro! I would highly recommend!

Everything was perfect, thank you so much!

Absolutely perfect place, well maintained and very well appointed. They have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. We were able to see all the apartments in the building and they are all just as nice. A little bit of a walk to town but you also have options near by like the gardens. Would definitely stay there again - they are truly super hosts!

Very well located, clean and spacious apartment. Carlos is very welcoming and punctual I recommend

Thanks, Cristina for hosting us in your beautiful apartment. Wished we could stay longer.

Amazing stay. Over than our expectation. Clean and quite with amazing sea view. Will recommend to our friends.

Amazing apartment with the best view and location in Porto. Can’t wait to comeback! The host is also super nice and friendly.

Great stay, location was perfect for what we wanted. 1.5 hour walk along the river to Porto. Bus and Tram also easily accessible. Views to the sea and only a 3 minute stroll to the beach.

The family had a fantastic week at a great location. Joao was a great host and super helpful.

Thanks for Bruno He made us comfortable right away. Great places to visit the very quiet house. Thank you for everything

We had an absolutely wonderful weekend stay at this cozy and charming home! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. Marisa was incredibly kind, responsive, and made sure we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect – peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to local attractions and nature spots. Highly recommended – we’d love to come back again!

After you go through the door at street level you walk up a flight of exterior stairs to the front door. The two main bedrooms, kitchen, dining room and bathrooms are on this level then up open stairs to sitting area and additional beds. The apartment is beautifully designed and decorated and beds are very comfortable. It’s very quiet at night. One small store with some food about five minutes away. Clara is very friendly and helpful.

Luciano’s place was perfect for our family while we spent a few days visiting family. We have younger kids and it was nice to be so close to plenty of public green space to be able to run and play.

One of our all time favorite places. Epic location and super responsive host! Cant wait to come back!

We were there for the second time now and we enjoyed the time very much. The place is beautiful and everything is very clean and well maintained. There is a beautiful terrace that we unfortunately could not use due to the bad weather.

Bad weather didn't disturb my calm stay at Aguda's beach. Close to restaurants and the train station (Porto 20min), Aguda is a perfect spot for a rest, with the place right in front of the beach with fully functional facilities (including washing machine). Elisa was very reactive and attentive, which was greatly appreciated.

We had a wonderful week in Felipes apartment. As host, Filipe was the most helpful we have ever had. Local tips, helpfulness and service - and a nice sence of humour. The apartment were big, and the terrasse is a wonder with it's stunning view. We have already booked our next stay at Filipes; actually we did, whilst we were sitting i the apartment:-)

This apartment was perfect. It was in a great, central location in Porto with many restaurants and lots to do around it. The apartment was also extremely clean and had great amenities.

I wish I could give 10 stars! This place is beyond amazing. The view is unbelievable and the whole apartment is gorgeous. They have everything you can think of and more. Paula met us and was helpful and sweet. I recommend paying for the private parking spot in the garage. It was very convenient. Can’t wait to return!

We have never experienced such a well-maintained, clean and well-equipped apartment. It corresponds 100% to the photos. There is a large underground parking lot. The landlord Manuel took care of things proactively and asked several times if everything was okay. The location is right on the main beach of Esmoriz, separated only by the waterfront road. However, it should be noted that at the end of August, a fair takes place right in front of the house with corresponding volume in the afternoon and evening.

Second visit to this property. Would highly recommend . Close to all amenities 👍

It was an excellent stay. excellent facilities, very friendly on the part of Peter and his wife, the house is very good, excellent cleanliness 👍👍👍👍 very close to the beach, Malafaia and very good access, balcony overlooking the sea. If I go back to the north, it will be my home of choice. I loved it

This apartment is spectacular!! It has the feel of a luxury San Francisco penthouse apartment. We could listen to the waves at night. Multiple restaurants are within a 2 block area! While It's not technically IN Porto, it's a very inexpensive Uber ride away...and we saw a lot of the city that way without having to walk! The platform bed setup as one solid bed was a bit challenging for an older couple, but overall, the apartment made it worth the challenge! We'd definitely stay there again!

Amazing host and lovely apartment ! Maurício could not have nicer or more helpful - he was definitely the highlight of my stay. From meeting you at check in to giving local recommendations to going above and beyond to make sure the apartment was in perfect condition. For the apartment, I appreciated the heating, comfortable bed and sofa, good wifi, and lovely views from the balcony. Having the beach only a couple minutes’ walk is a real plus that both my dog and I enjoyed. Because there is so much to do in the area I didn’t use the pool/gym as I planned, but it looked really nice. Finally I found the locals quite friendly on walks around, which I appreciated. If you’re thinking of a stay, book without hesitation!
