Flat comfortable facing bar beach
Apartment with excellent view, facing the sea. Mario is super attentive, clean apartment and safe condominium. We even used the condominium pool when it was sunny, a complete experience. We'll definitely be back more often.

Studio in the heart of Copacabana
Very nice, cozy spot for one or two people. Great location in Rio....easy access to Ipanema and Copacabana. Lots of restaurants nearby - but, that everywhere here in Rio! LOL! At least 3 restaurants on every block! I'd come here again.

Barra da Tijuca Beach posto6Barrabellavistamar
Excellent stay in an apartment in incredible condition, with a phenomenal and strategically located view. We'll definitely be back!

Five rooms on Copacabana Beach
Our experience at this place was consistently positive! The apartment is spacious, well equipped and perfectly located, just a few steps from Copacabana. There are numerous restaurants, cafes and shopping in the immediate vicinity, so there is nothing missing. Particularly noteworthy is the very good air conditioning, which ensured pleasant temperatures, as well as the complete furnishing of the apartment. The host was extremely friendly, communicative and responded quickly to our messages, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Another plus: Even the porters were super helpful and even organized a private parking space for us so we didn't have to park on the street. Overall a recommendation – we would come back anytime

Atlantic Studio - Ocean View for up to 5 people
The view from the apartment is really cinematic, in person it's even more beautiful! The apartment was very clean and smelling when we arrived. The location is great, close to everything.

Copacabana Av. Atlântica facing the sea. Breathtaking!
Vista is amazing, great location. I recommend it! All as described in the listing

Privileged apartment in downtown Niterói
I had a good stay in the apartment of Stevan. The apto's location makes it much easier to move to other regions of Niterói or to Rio. The building is old and the premises are simple, but all clean. The host is very attentive, flexible and has great communication.

Excellent Beachfront Apartment Living Room 2 Bedrooms
Many thanks to Carlos and his team for the wonderful lodging, which left us a very positive memory. An excellent apartment, perfect location, a very nice building. Also, we forgot some belongings, and Carlos warned us and sent the items back to our friends via Uber. Honest and correct people. It was a pleasure dealing with you. We wish you a lot of blessings and prosperity!
Beachfront home rentals with a pool

TOP FLOOR OVERLOOKING THE SEA/LAGON
Very comfortable, the pool on the terrace is excellent. Very good ocean view.

Entire APT 55m2 Front Sea Barra da Tijuca
The apartment is extremely complete, clean, tidy. It is part of a hotel so there is a hairdresser, bar, swimming pool and several other services. There are reception staff, which adds to the security issue. In addition, the accommodation has many elements that make your stay easier. We loved it. We recommend it and we'll choose it again.

5-star penthouse suite next to Pêpe Beach (1)
We had an amazing experience. The place is very organized, clean and welcoming. At the corner of the beach, close to everything. We had at our disposal all the utensils we need, the owner Wanda thought in the smallest detail to welcome a visitor. Not to mention that Wanda is a love, very polite and caring. Note miiiillll. I'll be back for sure.

Front sea penthouse with pool and barbecue area
Everything was perfect! Well located ! If the private pool would be heated it is a 10

Full APT 2 en-suites ocean view
Apt's location is very top, it's very clean and organized, the Luiz host a 10 person, very attentive and polite and beyond fun, have shown us wonderful places in Rio. I will definitely return more.

Apê Carioca - Beachfront in Barra da Tijuca
The place was great, very good location, great view, comfortable as described and Maria is a great host. Highly recommended.

Flat Pedra da Gávea Barra da Tijuca Beach
Amazing days at Thiago's stay. There were three of us friends and the place was easily accessible and safe. The condominium has a fitness center, sauna, game room and what made our life much easier was a restaurant with great prices. The apartment was very comfortable and well equipped. As a suggestion, I only missed having a clothesline to hang the wet clothes, but nothing that would affect the stay. I hope to return soon. Reservem without fear.

Luxury App Refinement 30 mts from Praia Posto 8
The apartment was really nice, a good size, great layout and well maintained. Really felt at home, and would stay again.

Ocean View, Attention to Detail, Unique Experience
Let’s start off with, if you’re reading this book it before it’s gone! This is 10/10 bnb. one of the absolute best Air BNB I’ve stayed in. As we’re arriving from the states we arrived early. John and Charlotte made it possible for us to check in early! Huge help as we’re staying for two weeks and had lots of luggage! At arrival they had snacks, fruits, and cookies for us! First thing you see when you arrive is the beautiful view from the main window in the living room. We got the choice on how to set up the bedrooms! It was perfect as we were a large group. From John’s bnb there so many places to eat and even more as John provided many restaurants on a list for us! John and charlotte are super attentive. Twice we called them by accident and they responded writhin seconds to see if we were okay! Lastly our last day was Sunday and our flights weren’t till 9 pm! John allowed us to stay till we left at 6! Thank you again John and everyone from the door staff to charlotte! Obrigado🙏🏽 10/

Joatinga Beach, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
I've been traveling the world for years in search of extraordinary places: This apartment turned out to be one of the best I've experienced in my time renting houses by the sea. It has a luxury that very few of us value: the luxury of good taste and design. The house has everything you need to spend a few days at the beach in all its aspects: PERFECT. From the choice of furniture, the collection of objects, the view and the comfort: CONGRATULATIONS TO THE OWNERS and their host ANDREA.

Luxury Beachfront Rio Life
What an amazing place to stay in such a great location that was close to everything. The view from all windows was spectacular especially letting that ocean breeze. This place felt like home. Location was spot on with nearby restaurants, bars, shops and anything else you could think of. Beach is right across the street. Our host was so amazing to communicate with and she was so sweet, patient, understanding and flexible with all my request and needs. Best part of this booking was our communication. We will definitely be back and hope to stay here again!

Luxury Boutique Suite with Beach View
Excellent everything from check-in to check-out! It can be noted that the windows chill a little when there is a lot of wind (obviously being closed)... the internet was quite bad and to take into account the mattress is too soft to take into account

BEACH VIEW COPACABANA
Inês was very attentive and always provided us with a lot of important information. The house is old, but it has been kept with great affection and has a special charm. The location is simply unbeatable – right in the heart of Copacabana, with everything you need nearby: supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants – all great! A small warning: being on the waterfront, it can be quite noisy at night – we recommend ear protectors for light sleepers. Besides that, the stay was excellent!

Charming beach front, top rated apt. in Copacabana
We stayed at this Airbnb for 10 days. It was very peaceful and beautiful! The environment was clean and comfortable! It was our first time using this service and we were not disappointed! Charlotte and Aki were very attentive and patient (because the check-in was early and the check-out was late). Thank you very much to everyone! We were happy and recommend everyone to participate in this beautiful experience too! Detail: Copacabana beachfront view from the apartment is simply unforgettable!

URCA Amazing Penthouse w/ best view/ 230 m2
Wow! Just book it! This is by far the best Airbnb I have stayed at. The pictures of the view don’t do it justice. The art deco and brutalist style are also to die for…on top of the space being beautiful and breathtaking, Adriana was very responsive, and displayed exceptional hospitality. She went as far as cooking me lunch my first day, and walking me to the market! I would absolutely book again.

Cozy Apartment
This was honestly one of the best Airbnb stays I’ve ever had! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The apartment is exactly as described – clean, stylish, and comfortable – and it's located in a spot that's easy to find and perfect for exploring the area. The host was incredible: super proactive, responsive, and genuinely caring. They provided clear instructions, fast communication, and thoughtful local recommendations that made my stay even better. You can really tell they care about their guests' experience. Everything worked perfectly – from the WiFi to the smart lock – and I always felt safe and relaxed. It's clear a lot of thought has gone into making this place welcoming and functional. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting. I’ll definitely be back!
