We enjoyed laying out on the patio and watching the action on the beach below. The beach was busy during the day (10 am to 8 pm) but quiet in the mornings and at night. For us, that was the best of both worlds. There are a three or four restaurants within walking distance but you will have to drive for the grocery store. There is a lot of walking up and down. The apartment was immaculate and the hosts were very organized. Check in process was easy. ##### Suneet S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### jennifer s. May 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Busy spot. The beach was very busy during the day with bumping music beginning at 9am. No privacy on deck. People walk onto deck thinking it’s the walking trail between beaches. A good spot for young adults. Pictures make it look remote and private, it’s beautiful but very public and busy. Also, no actual access to caves from beach level. ##### jennifer s. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fabian S. Jul 30, 2018 #### Absolutely wonderful house We have enjoyed the stay very much. The house and the equipment is perfect. The Location just amazing. The beach is nevertheless completly overcrowded, but sitting on the terrace and looking down is a good feeling. We have enjoyed especially the qiet morning hours and the evenings. Unfortunately they started cleaning the beach and the square with motor vacuum cleaners very early every day (sometimes already at 3-4 o‘clock at night). Other then that just great impressions! ##### Fabian S. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Alison K. Nov 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cliffs of Algarve The walking trail that passes adjacent to this cottage is spectacular as is the view and amazing local seafood. This cottage itself is lovely and faces beautiful cliffs and a beach (that was unfortunately covered in seaweed during the entire week we stayed.) What we didn’t realize is that this beach is a busy tourist and hiker stop and when outside there is no privacy. Mattresses could use upgrading and parking is an issue. Overall enjoyed our stay but would pick another home next time. ##### Alison K. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert S. Sep 17, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location The perfect place for a stay in the Algarve. The house was perfect for us 5, very spacious and clean, perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The view from the terrace is wonderful, especially in the evening when the sun goes down and the rocks turn a deep orange. Parking on the public parking lot a few 100m away is no problem, you can stop at the bottom of the bay to load/unload. Thus the suitcases and the purchases do not have to be carried so far. The support by the agency was exemplary, very friendly and with very short reaction times (thanks Mena!). ##### Robert S. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer B. Nov 7, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magical experience The house is literally built right into a sea cliff. The ocean crashes beneath the patio / deck. The beach is very private in the evenings. The house is beautifully decorated and appointed. The cons: There is no onsight parking.; you must park above and lug your things down. Also, the beds are not very comfortable. That being said, I am so happy to have had the opportunity to stay here. ##### Jennifer B. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Sara M. May 30, 2024 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great location-unbeatable views! We loved our stay at the Benagil beach house. The view from the deck is incredible. Being able to walk to the beach in one minute is awesome. However, a few things to know before you go: 1. Communication is with a property management company and we asked for more blankets, toilet paper, and did not receive. The maid only comes once a week so if you miss that date for requests, nothing else will come. 2. It’s tricky with a car! It’s lots of stairs to get to so pack wisely and bring grocery bags for your groceries that are durable for a bit of a walk in! Parking is only in public parking areas in town. The house is quite literally on the cliff so there is no road access. But that’s what makes the views so epic!! 3. There was no toilet paper provided and they ask you not to flush any toilet paper. Not a deal breaker but just something to note! ##### Sara M. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### nicola M. Jul 1, 2018 #### Amazing Location This property is Amazing. The view from the terrace & the waves breaking on the beach below makes for a memorable stay. The beach offers canoeing and paddle boarding. It was pretty busy each day, but we always found a space. There are 5 restaurants in the village, of varying quality. There are a few things to be aware of though.... 1. The property is split in to 2 separate units, with 2 front doors 2 kitchen/living areas and a bedroom each. There is an internal door which connects the two sides, but it opens into bedroom number one.if you choose to use this to access all areas of the house, you care basically turing bedroom number 1 into a hallway and the person using the bedroom will have very little privacy. 2. There was only 1 key. This caused us problems as it was difficult to ensure each side of the house had access to the key for locking up doors at night time, and reopening them in the morning, without disturbing whom ever was asleep in bedroom 1... 3. There is only 1 aircon unit, in bedroom two. 4. Access to the house is not easy! You must either climb steps from the beach area below, or decend from a footpath above. This is very difficult with suitcases & grocerys. 5. There is no shop in Benagil, at all! (this is not a reflection on the lovely cottage, but it was tiresome for us, with no car, to have to try & organise a taxi to go to a supermarket, numerous times for basic things like water and toilet roll. 6. The terrace area looses the sun each day around 3.30pm as the sun slips behind the house. At this point you must move to the beach if you want to stay in the sun. We've all agreed we would love to stay in this house again, except next time we'd be better prepared! ##### nicola M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Kris F.

The surroundings were lively at the start of the day and then quiet by night. It had a unique layout however functional and full of amenities. The back bedroom could use updated beds and bedding, although the overall home was comfortable. It was very convenient to restaurants, boating, swimming and hiking. ##### Andrea N.

However, the following points were disappointing: 1) The property was described as quiet and intimate - this was, however, not the case at all: there was extremely loud music from the beach bar from 2 pm to 8 pm every day. 3) Tourists left their garbage in front of the gate. 3) Several times, people opened the gate and walked onto the patio to take a selfie. They even left their belongings before going to the beach, although we were home. Thus, the gate should be better secured and labeled "private property." Given this mismatch between the online description and advertisement and the reality, the price tag for this beach home was too high. We have rented houses via VRBO regularly, and we have never experienced such a mismatch between the description of "being quiet and intimate" and the reality of "extremely loud music and tourist interruptions on the property itself. ##### Anika H.

This charming cottage is right on the beach, which you will pretty much have to yourself in the early morning and evenings/nights. It was also quiet all day on the Sunday we were there. The patio is stunning. There are fantastic restaurants so close you can see them from your patio. You are about at the half-way point on the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, an easy walk to Praia de Marinha (1/2 hour tops). We were always able to find free parking just above the cottage. It is a STEEP walk on stairs and pavement both down to the beach and up to the parking but well worth it if you can manage it. ##### Eric S.

I told my husband that I thought this listing had to be fake because for the price, right ON THE BEACH, 3BR 2BTH, absolute perfection. This beach bungalow is in the side of a cliff at the very edge of Benagil. Overlooking the famous beach and facing ocean with cliff face, it could not be more picturesque. The house was perfect for family because it is narrow with no hall across bedrooms but the trade off of the unique, super special location is no contest. Only ask I would have for hosts is please leave a little coffee to at least get guests through a morning or two to find groceries. Walking to coffee, ice cream and at least four restaurants including Algar which was as good as any five star we’ve dined at. Best view and most special location I’ve ever stayed anywhere in the world. ##### Juli B. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin R.

Unbeatable location perched above beautiful Benagil beach. Unrivalled views from the terrace which was a fantastic place to sit - so close to the beach but a tranquil retreat from the August chaos! It was especially beautiful in the evenings when the beach was quiet - no better place to eat in Benagil! Only slight issue was fact that there was only one key - others have commented on this, but it did mean that the bedroom nearest the kitchen has to be walked through to get to the second bedroom. Would be so much better if two parts of the house could be self- contained! Also, there is no supermarket in Benagil - you do have to drive to the nearest supermarket. We arrived late at night and a few provisions for breakfast would have been so welcome - even just a bottle of water in the fridge! These were small problems - we had a wonderful stay in Benagil in this very special house and would thoroughly recommend it! ##### Beverley B.

Location is literally overlooking stunning Benagil Beach- A narrow and busy beach during the day. The listing beach pic must have been taken before 8am because directly beneath /about 1/4 of the beach is taken up by the boat/kayak tours launch. There are ALOT of cave boat/kayaks tours passing by all day long. But really fun to watch it all the action from high above and we didn't mind it at all. Beach starts to empty by 5:30pm and it's totally quiet and peaceful after that. There is a beach front restaurant right below with good pizza. A new beach club/restaurant with lounge music just a few steps above that gives you access to their plunge pool if you eat/drink there. 2 other restaurants at this spot. You will need a car if you want to do groceries 11mins away. Easiest parking is at the top of the hill and you will have to walk down 3 sets of steps. A short walk across the parking lot at the top leads you to the beautiful and quiet Carvalho Beach. Villa has a cute cottage feel, clean and everything you need. The huge deck and outdoor living space is amazing. ACs only in the BRs so we had to request a fan that was perfect for the main living room/kitchen. The configuration is such that all the rooms are lined up in a row- you have to walk through all the rooms to get from one side to the other but still all very spacious! Both bathrooms are dated and one in need of a major makeover. Overall - it's a great place with an unforgettable view! ##### amy l. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lance N. Jul 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Great views with issues We had been looking forward to our stay in Benagil. While the views were amazing, we did have issues. The air conditioning never worked in either bedroom during our stay. We were notified they'd identified a compressor failure, however 2 days after we'd left. The bedrooms were 39 C by afternoon and would only reach 29 C by morning with all windows open in the entire house. Since windows had to be open, our sleep was terrible as there is activity all night on and to the beach (e.g. garbage crew cleanup at 1am, cleaning crew with leaf blowers at 3am, beach cleaning crew 4-7am, then hundreds of visitors show up and literally walk in front of bedroom window). With the windows open and all the activity, we also had a safety concern. We did not have a single good night's rest during our 4 days and found the overall stay miserable due to the heat and noise. Our daughter ended up with some sort of unidentified bug bites all over her back and arms that cleared up upon leaving. In addition, the morning sun is brutal when you'd like to enjoy the patio and view with a coffee. We'd have liked to have seen a few beach chairs and umbrellas with flat as most visitors aren't traveling with those. The beach itself was very rough for 2 of the 4 days there and 60% of beach length was completely covered in seaweed. The surf made it unswimmable for children. We had 4 other rentals while in Portugal and rated all 5 stars. We would not recommend this location, especially during summer. ##### Lance N. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### aude l.

En revanche nous conseillons aux propriétaires un portail ferme et peut être un peu moins accessible . L endroit étant magique il incite les plagistes à s arrêter et même à pénétrer sans gêne dans l espace privé à plusieurs reprises pour de photos où nous demander le prix ect ect...assez pénible quand cela se produit tous les jours. Donc très très calme le soir mais un peu envahis en journée ! ##### aude l. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary M. Apr 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home We loved our stay at Benagil. The home was amazing, the views astounding, the location perfect for a six-day getaway. The home was clean, bright, comfortable and well maintained and my wife was particularly fond of the heated floors during our early spring stay. It was good that we rented a car so that we could keep the fridge stocked, but we availed ourselves of the many outstanding restaurants nearby. We should note that because the house is perched along a walkway down the cliffs, we often found morning hikers sharing the porch for a moment or two, until they understood it was a private residence. ##### Gary M.
