Beachfront vacation rentals in Praia

I very much enjoyed my stay at Alessandro’s place. He and his wife were very welcoming, the house is beautiful and perfectly located. Alessandro was always helpful and kind and would happily answer questions, give recommendations and let me feel at home. Unfortunately, I could not communicate much with his wife because I don’t speak her languages. But she was patient with me when I tried to talk to her and was very kind, too. She is a great cook and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner with them. I highly recommend this place and highly recommend having at least (!!) one meal with them :) I am already thinking about coming back because I only got to spend 3 nights there.

We spent a week here and it was excellent. The house is basic but comfy. The property is very calm and since the studio is on a side path, not many people walk in front. The pool and it's view on the ocean and sunset is just breathtaking. The beach down a few stairs is super nice and easy sandy access to swim. When snorkeling you can spot some very nice fish and rock formation. The property is minutes away from the center, shops and food places. Make sure to try "Cha-cha Chicken" (location on G.maps, just 1 minute walk) and the tuna (atum) at the restaurant on the Fort José. The welcoming was great, the staff is very friendly. There was no welcome basket for us at arrival but it is not important. We got picked up at the port by someone with a Stella Maris sign (which is the name of the property). Pick up was fast and no issues there. Overall very nice stay and would recommend to anyone looking for peace, great swimming experiences and easy access to town.

Great place as others have mentioned...I had to book last minute and got a room. The room is very clean and in a residential area. Very calm comfortable and view on the ocean. There is the AC and shops are 20minutes away by foot. Carlos was very nice, welcoming and very responsive via messages . Wifi worked great as well. I recommend 100%

I recommend this place to all future visitors, sea view, nice locations, property, free Wi-Fi, saltwater pool, shop 2 minutes walk away,great place to rest.

We loved the place. Great location.

This was such a beautiful space to stay. It was great waking up to a view of the water and listening to waves crashing on shoreline. The host family was helpful and responsive to questions ask. The place matched the picture. The only drawback is the accessibility of taxi from the premise, but this is remedied by walking out to the main road or nearby gas/petrol station. Overall, I enjoyed my time and will consider staying again if in area.

Amazing. Very nice house, magnificent view, the pool is splendid and the private beach at the foot of the house is absolutely wonderful - 10 minutes' walk from the village beach - very friendly with its small bars - and 15 minutes from the sublime wild beach of Preta - the hospitality is very well managed - The team helped us get ferry tickets - an ideal place to rest in the sweetness of Maio Island.

Stella Maris is a very well maintained conduminium. Many plants and flowers and well kept grounds. Our villa Atùn was on a corner with a nice terrace with sea views and very close to the pool. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Andrea's place is very well located as it is a few 100m to the nearest supermarket as well as to the city beach a good quarter of an hour walk. The house has been lovingly built, the garden very green. Under the tree you can relax wonderfully in the shade. The barbecue invites you to fry fish and vegetables in the evening. The communication with Andrea went smoothly, there were very good tips and an answer to all questions. Clear recommendation!

Patricia and her husband offer a magnificent house with the most beautiful view! The apartment offered everything we needed - a pool, quiet rooms, a well equipped kitchen and an outdoor BBQ and all support we could think of of Patricia and her staff. All in all: we had a wonderful stay in Maio, it is really an island to calm down, enjoy nature, sun and the sea. Thanks a lot!

This is a lovely house, with a large living room, a fully stocked kitchen, a veranda, overlooking the ocean. The house is very quiet, cozy, the pool is literally behind the neighboring house. From the pool you can walk down to the small beach. Big great beaches within a 10 minute walk. Nearby there are several shops, with a good assortment of products. And most importantly: we saw whales right from the veranda of our house, it's incredible!

Very beautiful and large house, very comfortable, with an amazing view, a peaceful terrace and nickel rooms. Close to the center, on foot. A big thank you to Mirtes, our host, edy, the driver and Vanusa, the cook who really took care of us. nothing to say. Thank you very much. Small downside for the extremely noisy water pump as soon as we use water. and for the pool that deserves a good maintenance. We recommend it.

Very nice accommodation, well located and very clean on the beautiful island of Maio. We arrived at 9am and were able to directly access the accommodation with transportation included from the port. The infinity pool is very well maintained and allows you to perfectly contemplate the sunset. Access to a private beach is also present and allows extreme tranquility.

We had a great time at Esther and Luiz's. The apartment is in a very good location, close to both beaches. The accommodation is nice, clean. Luiz is very responsive, very good communication. I recommend it 200%

Many thanks to Mirian for these welcome messages, and her professionalism. positive: the apartment is identical to the description and is super well located. You are a 15/20 minute walk from everything. We were super happy with our stay. Plus, Mirian is very responsive if you have any problems! In the evening you have a guard posted in front who is also very friendly. The apartment contains everything you need, washing machine, cooking utensils, microwave, gas stove, air conditioning etc... negative: - showerhead to be changed. - I would have appreciated 2/3 bags of tea or coffee for the morning and a pack of small bottles of water (because arriving at night from Saturday to Sunday) on Sunday everything was closed. Fortunately a taxi found us an open supermarket, it would be a plus for Mirian, whose cooks will appreciate the gestures. Apart from small details, everything was perfect. Thank you. All the best.

Me and my friends had a great time at this Airbnb home. It is very spacious, cozy and just meters from the beach. Elsemanual is very warm and friendly. She was quick to respond to any questions we had and address our needs. The roar of the ocean nearby helped make for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. If you’re looking for a home away from home with a Cape Verdean cultural flair, I would highly recommend this place.

Beautiful apartment very clean. Rooftop swimming pool with amazing ocean views Hosts always responsive and helpful. I definitely recommend it

Cozy apartment in a house located directly on the sea. Stylishly decorated and clean. The city center of Praia is easily accessible on foot or by taxi via the beach promenade. Uncomplicated check-in and check-out with the option of storing luggage until the onward journey.

The apartment is beautiful and decorated thoughtfully. You can enjoy the balcony at all times of the day with a beautiful view on the Atlantic. Else is a truly nice and forthcoming host. I can without a doubt recommend the apartment for a stay in Praia.

A very high-standard apartment with stunning sea views and security service in the residence. The space is even better than pictured. Common areas such as the rooftop terrace and pool are well maintained. Samuel is very responsive to needs, he offers additional services such as taxis from the airport and car rentals that I recommend. Thanks again, we had a great time thanks to you.
