Location was quiet yet close to everything we needed and everything we wanted to see. The beach was spectacular, warm water and lots of space to spread out and enjoy the sunshine. Would definitely recommend this location and would stay here on our next trip to the Azores. ##### Thomas S. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah B.

Sep 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house is in a fantastic location. We made day trips in all directions. We really loved this spot, however. We loved hiking the local trails, watching people working in their fields, walking down to the beach. Two of us went in swimming. The only problem we had was the third bed in the middle room turnedout to be a trundle bed and would br suitable for a child, not a senior citizen One of us slept on the long sofa with bedding Jose provided. That was fine.We ate and relaxed on the patio, wondering at the cows high above us in the steep meadows. We are all ready to come back soon. ##### Patricia K.

Although our time there was wet and windy, we found lots to do. From hiking to shopping, to exploring or spending quiet time indoors, we all found entertainment. The house was well supplied with kitchen equipment and we made good use of it all. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms worked as they should. In total, a very good experience. ##### Heather R. Stayed 16 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kellie A.

Jose was a wonderful host who was very responsive and helpful when we had a small crisis (not with the property). The location was perfect for us -- centrally located on the island, allowing for easy day trips in any direction. Both restaurants within walking distance were very good, and the village of Moinhos itself was picturesque, and one of our favorite places of the entire trip. The property was great, having everything we needed. We would not hesitate to book here again -- one of our very best VRBO experiences. ##### Constantine V.

Quiet area, beautiful views, and your own personal waterfall. Beach just a few minutes walk, and centrally located to the entire island. Having a washing machine came in handy, and the outdoor shower was perfect. Parking on the steep hill with a stick shift can be a little bit exciting but outside of that everything was a breeze. Would definitely stay again. ##### TJ H. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### doug s.

It was so relaxing hearing the surf and the waterfall. The house was in the perfect central location for day trips to explore all parts of the island. Parking spaces were available right in front of the house.The house had everything you needed to cook meals and was also very near to excellent restaurants. Self check in/check out was very convenient and Jose was easy to reach. It was exciting to see the hydrangeas at the house in full bloom in late September! ##### Cindy M.

Jose was very responsive to all emails and flexible with our checkin/checkout times. The house is walking distance to 3 restaurants. We enjoyed two meals at Joseph's beach bar/restaurant Praia Moinhos. It is literally steps from the house and located on the beach. Our weather was rough but, Jose has a fireplace and everything we needed to build a cozy fire and play cards with our grandsons. I would love to stay here again during the Summer months and enjoy all of the decks of the house and more time of the beautiful beach. ##### Patricia G.

We were not disappointed. The home was very clean, comfortably furnished, completely equipped and ideally located. The ocean view from the first floor and second floor terraces was breathtaking. We were about five minutes walk from a large sandy beach with terrific wave and surf activity. The soothing sound of the surf was audible all day and night. Hiking trails of varying lengths and difficulty were walking distance away and provided spectacular hillside and ocean views. Our host was most hospitable. This was our first overseas rental and our host's warm and pleasant manner, his attention to our needs and the ease of contact with him added to a wonderful vacation experience. ##### Dale G.

Sep 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was an amazing rental. The house is quite large with 3 bedrooms and a bath upstairs and a large living are on the main level. It was very well equipped for dining in and everything was in working order. There is a beautiful large terrace facing the ocean where you can also relax and eat. The beach is only a 2 minute walk and the host even provided beach towels. The location is good but expect to do some traveling to the popular sight seeing areas. The island is small enough though to get around easily. We loved our stay at this beautiful home. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a43cbe57-71f6-4127-80ce-7263dddcd8d6-1759236420895.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Edmond A. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie G. Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was one of the best homes we have stayed in. It lived up to every expectation. Very well provisioned…. down to coffee and espresso ready to enjoy. All the manuals for the appliances, and great suggestions for nearby restaurants and grocery shopping. Loved our morning views as we enjoyed brunch on the patio….. beds were comfy and two showers were a plus in getting ready for our family event. ![front of the house](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/72c2fa41-3208-4d5d-a5f9-0a6de207b253-1752493733189.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![fully equipped kitchen](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/20e566ca-aed6-4d7e-a2a7-96ff1eaf8ffe-1752493729972.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![one of three decks](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4a446b44-bb9d-41b6-bf26-e4ea7673a811-1752493729669.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Living room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9de8e904-ad49-4ffb-9f01-f7ac53307e7d-1752493729540.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Leslie G.

Jul 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Place We had the most amazing vacation in Sao Miguel. The hydrangeas were in full bloom during our stay and were absolutely stunning throughout the entire island. The house was so welcoming, comfortable and clean. Jose was very responsive to our requests and questions. The house had the most stunning views of the ocean, fully equipped with everything you will need, and is located within walking distance to the beach. It’s centrally located to visit every aspect of the island. We definitely recommend staying here! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d2be0b35-0b62-41b9-94a6-8defced7622e-1751557731439.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e30b60e4-d5e5-4d18-a42a-c7236d65ca3c-1751557823790.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d4760ba4-5605-466e-ba94-7abd85ed2066-1751557833197.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dbf82a13-1654-4dfd-8f3e-4c39a96f8fe4-1751557821062.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Leslie E.
