Excellent little apartment on the ocean. Loved the use of the washing machine, the kitchen was great for preparing some simple meals. The host was very good at helping us find the place and showing us the amenities. We loved opening up the sliding door to get some fresh air and sounds from the ocean. The sofa was a little oversized for the space and the memory foam matress wasn't the most comfortable for sleeping, but overall it was a pleasant stay.

Hiking and relaxing
Great apartment- small, but well designed and has absolutely everything you need. Location is great- seaview and an easy 30min walk to centre of Ponta Delgada or less than 10min on electric scooter! Only downside is the restaurant next door which is noisy in the evening (we had earplugs and it was fine to sleep) and people stand outside the apartment to smoke. Great host, would recommend.

Perfectly wonderful…wish we were still there!
I have been to Sao Miguel before, so knew the general area. Everything is convenient, and the apartment, though compact, has everything one needs. Tasteful decoration, clean, cool, and a terrific view.
The hosts provided Azorean bread, cheeses, jam, and wine, and that was such a nice touch. They were accessible and welcoming, and after a long trip, we appreciated not needing to find a market right away. We also appreciated the access to a washing machine. We hiked every day in heat, and it was nice to have clean things.
I really can’t think of anything that this nice little place lacked. Thank you again!

5 Stars! Amazing Stay!
This property was absolutely fantastic! The host was awesome with greeting us, being available for questions, and calling us a cab when it was time to check out. The unit had everything we could want to make us feel at home and we were welcomed with a basket of fresh fruit and items for breakfast.
The ocean right outside our doorstep, an amazing restaurant right next door, and a walk along the seawall to town (took us about 40 min) made us very happy with the location. We can't wait to come back and stay again!

Beautiful view and cosy appartment
At our arrival we had a basket of goods… cheese, fruits, crackers, jam… a bottle of wine and it was very appreciated. Walking distance to Ponta Delgada, restaurants and markets. There was a natural pool just in font and a beautifl view. The only bother was the matress which curved in the middle.

Host is Adorable, Place is Spotless
I'd like to give this stay a solid 5 but there is something I think is fair to mention. First, that thing. From the online pix, I thought we were right on the sea. And essentially we were, but between us and it was a double path - bicycle and pedestrian - which was lit up all night. And immediately beside us was a restaurant with a large outdoor patio that served until late, was brightly lit, and sometimes noisy.
Now the good stuff.
Elisabete is a dream host. "How can I serve you?" is clearly her attitude. She had the apartment ready right on time, then arranged to visit us in person to tell us about the apartment, neighborhood, and island and included an island map upon which she had marked places of interest. In the apartment she had a bottle of wine, milk, cheese made on the island, crackers, local jam, plus more, and all the cooking tools we needed. She and her husband live in a different part of the property, and she was quickly available if we needed something. Elisabete is friendly, enthusiastic about her guests and accommodation, cheerful, generous, witty, and she keeps a spotless apartment and laundry area.
There is an air conditioner that kept the apartment at a lovely temperature when we were inside.
We had only a few minutes' walk to where we could swim in the ocean, which was wonderful after hikes in the heat.
If light at night and voices of people dining do not bother you, this is an excellent accommodation. One can always close the windows and blinds.

Extraordinary!
Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed and had an assortment of delicious local fruits, cheese, wine, bread, and cookies waiting for us. The location of this property is amazing! We looked out at the ocean from our front window and could hear the waves crashing on the rocks. A few meters away is a walking and biking path along the ocean that takes you right into the heart of Ponta Delgada. The highway to different parts of the island is easily accessible and parking was never a problem. The unit is clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Elisabete is a gracious host who took the time to answer our many questions. When we return to visit this island paradise, we will definitely stay here again! Obrigada, Elisabete

A little piece of paradise with incredible hosts!
We recently returned from our stay in the Azores and couldn't recommend this accommodation highly enough! Our hosts went above and beyond in every way to make our stay the best it could be from the moment we booked until the moment we returned home.
Elsabete met us upon our arrival, provided us with all of the information we needed and more. She even personalized a travel map for us with lots of tips on all of the best places to visit! She also left breakfast food and wine for us to enjoy. Her place is fully stocked with everything you may need including beach and shower towels, anything for cooking and eating in her lovely kitchen, bikes/helmets, picnic blankets, cooler, laundry baskets, travel guides and more.
The location is great as well. Lots of parking nearby and a delicious restaurant directly next door! This is a perfect home base whether you're planning to travel around the island or bike/walk into Ponta Delgada and what a view!
Elsabete - thank you so much for all of your attention to detail and warm heart. And thank you again for even folding our laundry (I still feel bad about that - haha!).
Unfortunately, we had to end our stay here a little earlier than expected...once again Elsabete and Joao were so understanding, flexible and helpful in this situation. Thank you for that:)
We definitely want to return and hope some of our friends and family will have the chance to stay here as well!
Thank you, muito obrigado and all the best!

Elisabete created a clean, well-appointed little home with a terrific view of the sea. We can’t say enough about this rental - we’ve used VRBO a dozen times in the US and Europe, and this was the best! Sao Roque, the village, is outside of Ponta Delgada which is advantageous for exploring the island. Tent this property!

Immaculate, pretty, convenient, and beautiful view--easy access to everything you want to see
This was the perfect home away from home. As a solo traveler, I felt welcomed and safe. Elisabete met me and oriented me to the island and my lodgings. She could not have been nicer or more helpful--checked in with me a few times throughout the stay. I had everything I could have possibly needed. Great care and attention has been paid to anticipating needs and a little extra like the fruit, cheese, and Bolos Levedos provided, all of which I heartily devoured.The location is amazing, both for its view, access to walking or bike path, and for taking the car to various sites around the island--none more than 30 minutes away. It was great for people and ocean watching but also quiet. I would recommend staying here to friends and family. I hope to return as the island and Casa do Ilheu made me feel at home while surrounded by great beauty and joy..

You have use of a washing machine, clothesline, and bicycles. Quick ride to the main part of town, where we would bike in the evenings to dinner. The apartment we stayed in had the view of the ocean, and they are located right next door to a yummy restaurant. We would definitely recommend this place, and we would gladly stay here again. There is also 2 parking lots close by to park a car if you are planning to rent one. Thanks again!!!

Why not!
Our first time using VRBO at 74-80, great experience and accommodations. No autos are going by you, only, people and bicyclist, as the picture is accurate. A proper restaurant entrance side entrance 12 ft away, you can get a beer and local shrimp 10-12, for $2.50 each, and much more.
Joan (John) and Elisabeth are perfect hosts, and they could not do enough for us, maybe our age? No, they treat all the same and point out the highlights of Sao Miguel. A public saltwater ocean pool steps away, when open.
Just sit back and enjoy life, we did.

This apartment was perfect! The location was right on the water and you could see the ocean from the windows. It’s just outside of Ponta Delgada in sao roque. However there is a walking or biking path along the water that takes you right into Ponta Delgada. Bicycles with helmets and locks are provided by the host. There is a parking lot for your car which is very convenient as well. The host was absolutely wonderful. She was quick to answer us and even left us some locals snacks and treats upon arrival. She offered to dry our clothes that we were washing in the machine that’s provided and when we came back our clothes were even folded. I couldn’t believe it! The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting sao Miguel!!

Cozy, cute oceanside apartment
You can't beat the location of this sweet, cozy, super clean apartment. The unit is just a few feet from the ocean and the great seawalk that leads into the center of Ponta Delgada, a lovely 40-minute stroll. The place was well-equipped and the complimentary food items and beverages were appreciated. A terrific restaurant is right next door and sand beaches but a short walk. The host was very responsive. Finding the dead-end street with the parking area was a little challenging for us, but our host was helpful. Really a gem for a single or a couple.
