Waterfront vacation rentals in Porto

Ana was a wonderful host! She gave us excellent instructions for accessing the building and apartment plus a map of the area with personal preferences and famous places to see. The apartment was beautiful, met our every need and was walking distance to the metro and also to stroll through the streets of Gaia down to the Douro! I would highly recommend!

Maria's apartment was a delight - exactly as described and spotlessly clean. Maria welcomed us on arrival and gave us a good introduction to Porto in respect of places to visit and restaurants to try. The apartment itself was situated close to tram and bus services; there was a basic mini market a few minutes walk away and a larger supermarket about 15 mins walk or two minutes on the 500 bus! We had a lovely short break and would very happily make a return booking! Many thanks Maria

Very well located, clean and spacious apartment. Carlos is very welcoming and punctual I recommend

Miguel was very accommodating and an amazing host who let us check in 3 hours early which was great! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in Porto :)

If this apartment was any closer to the river it would be in the river. There are a few restaurants in the immediate area but it is a bit of a trek to the part of the town where the happening part of town is. Once you get there be prepared to climb some hills. This has no reflection on Susana or her apartment. She was a very helpful and gracious host. She showed up when we got there and checked in on us during our stay to see if we needed anything. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. If you do not mind the walk to town and then climbing some hills once you get there, this is a great place to stay.

The house is very comfortable, we were 3 couples only one of the rooms is smaller because the other two have king size bed. Kitchen with everything you need, comfortable room for conviviality. It was not used but has amenities for laundry and everything super clean and in good order. The location is great for walking, quiet area for sightseeing. The only less good aspect is that one of the rooms is facing the road, in an avenue with a lot of passage it can be annoying the sound of some vehicles such as motorbikes/ambulances. Cristina has always been super helpful, careful and attentive to needs even before the reservation was complete. Certainly stands as a reference for a next trip to Porto.

Amazing stay. Over than our expectation. Clean and quite with amazing sea view. Will recommend to our friends.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Clean, comfortable, great location. Highly recommend.

I picked this place initially for the location and the photos looked wonderful as well. Then I made sure to read some of the reviews and that is what sealed the deal for me on booking this place! Every review was raving about Cristina and how great her and Joaquin are. The home looked just like the pictures, it was so beautiful and peaceful there. Cristina and Joaquin were great at giving us help with finding wonderful local places to eat and with directions to different places. I have never had such a wonderful experience with the hosts as I did with Cristina, she really made me feel like we were family. Such a great place to stay, when I make it back to Porto, this is where I’ll be staying!!

I can go on and on about how amazing our experience was with Clara and Hernani. Clara goes above and beyond for her guests. She doesn't only care about your stay in her home but the experience you have in her city ♡ you get a home with a special travel agent 🥰 her home is breath taking ! You can see how much love was put into her home, you'll even catch some of her art work on the walls. Clara and Hernani make you feel right at home from the very start, from the greeting, walk through of the home and special welcoming treat 🙏 5 of us stayed over and feel the same way. Showers amazing, helps that you can heat up the bathroom. Beds comfy. Attic room ! With the BEST view and set up to take it in each morning. Without a doubt, this is the best stay we have ever had anywhere. Thank you SO MUCH 💓 🤗

One of our all time favorite places. Epic location and super responsive host! Cant wait to come back!

We had a great time. The accommodation is in a great location. We recommend it.

José was spectacular, the house has a very nice clean space.

Thank you Maria for hosting us, all the little touches and especially the cleanliness of the accommodation. Great house, I would highly recommend it.

The host was accommodating and responsive. The location was great, we walked to many sites from there. The apartment was clean and spacious. Would recommend.

The photos are accurate and our host was very nice. Instructions are top notch. The sea view is a big plus and it's very nice to walk around. We were quiet and the house is lovely. We had a lovely stay despite the heavy rains at times. The house is in a very good location in relation to shops. We are close to the center of Porto and the historic center of Vila Nova de Gaia. Beautiful places to discover.

We had a wonderful week in Felipes apartment. As host, Filipe was the most helpful we have ever had. Local tips, helpfulness and service - and a nice sence of humour. The apartment were big, and the terrasse is a wonder with it's stunning view. We have already booked our next stay at Filipes; actually we did, whilst we were sitting i the apartment:-)

A beautiful apartment with absolutely everything you could need for a family holiday! Natacha’s place is spotlessly clean, lots of space and so many little extras it really felt like a home from home. The views of the sea and the sunset from the balcony were amazing! The pool was huge and clean and the surrounding area peaceful but close enough to Porto and Gaia by bike or a quick Uber ride. There is a boardwalk and cycle path just across the road that goes all the way down the beach to Porto. There is a supermarket nearby and some lovely beach bars and restaurants along the front. Natacha was a perfect host - friendly and very responsive and helpful with lots of ideas and suggestions for our stay. Our teenage girls loved the surf lessons that Natacha suggested and we had lots to do and lots of sights to see. Thank you Natacha for the perfect stay. We recommend 100% and would definitely stay again!

This apartment was perfect. It was in a great, central location in Porto with many restaurants and lots to do around it. The apartment was also extremely clean and had great amenities.

Conviently located with great views of the Duoro River. Steps away from public transportation. Easy direct walk to the lower bridge. Near the stairs to the upper bridge and park to view fabulous sunsets. Great kitchen and comfortable beds! We'd definitely stay again!

Do not hesitate to rent this accommodation if you would like to visit Porto: by train which is less than a 5-minute walk from the apartment, you are in a good half hour in bustling Porto. But the tranquility of the apartment is blissful, the bustling sea you constantly see and hear is the best relaxation, the blissful location on the beach of Granja is practical, but also the other nearby villages within walking distance such as Aguda and Miramar are worth it... Finally, you will really find everything in and around the apartment you need to have a wonderful holiday. The kitchen is very spaciously equipped, the two bathrooms are very functional, there is a lot of storage space...there is a bakery, butcher and small supermarket 5 minutes walk away, and a larger supermarket 25 minutes walk away...

It was so nice to sit on the balcony and watch the ocean or see it through the large glass doors. The restaurants were good and it was so easy to get to the fresh seafood restaurants over on the river in Gaia. Hugo had a list of many restaurants in the area both Gaia and Porto. Even though we did not communicate much during our stay, Hugo was quick to answer when we had a question. I felt we could reach out to him if we had a need.

The place was great and a real gem in Porto. Close to the beach and into city as well. Claudia was very helpful throughout the time we were there with recommendations for things to eat and do around the area. Had a lovely time and will definitely look to stay here again 😊

This apartment is spectacular!! It has the feel of a luxury San Francisco penthouse apartment. We could listen to the waves at night. Multiple restaurants are within a 2 block area! While It's not technically IN Porto, it's a very inexpensive Uber ride away...and we saw a lot of the city that way without having to walk! The platform bed setup as one solid bed was a bit challenging for an older couple, but overall, the apartment made it worth the challenge! We'd definitely stay there again!
