Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ivy G. Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The beach location of this home is excellent, as the beach is clean, has a stream for young ones to play in, given that the waves can be big and difficult if you are not a strong swimmer. There is a beautiful waterfall to visit near the public parking lot, too. It was a 15 - 25 minute drive to most locations to explore the island or to have dinner each night. We would likely stay in Ribeira Grande next time we visit São Miguel, as this was more centrally located to our trip.The home was clean, but we struggled with the bug situation as there are no screens to prevent them from entering the home when windows and doors are open. We saw flies & ants, plus a cockroach run under the laundry machine on our last day, and spent time waiting to kill it so it wouldn't get into our belongings. We ended up keeping the small trash can on the porch and throwing the bag in the dumpster near the beach daily to reduce the ants. Our other issue was the amount of hot water. There is only enough for 1 shower, 2 only if you are VERY fast. This was a huge challenge for a family of 4 coming home from the beach. We all had many cold showers. Another challenge was that there were no fans to help with airflow other than small desk top fans that only help if you sit in front of them. Lastly, the furniture on the patio was not like in the picture. There were two broken plastic chairs and one lounge chair that did not have a cushion. No tables to put drinks on or have a snack. Improvements could be made ##### Ivy G. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan T.
