Beachfront holiday rentals in Santa Cruz

Paulo‘s AirBnB was amazing! The accommodation is big and has a nice view not only onto the airport but also the banana plantage and lots of beautiful flowers planted all around the property! It was super clean and tidy, lots of space to park your rental car and there even is a private gym and laundry room. We were very pleased with our stay and would love to come back here during our next trip! Obrigado!

Great house, even better garden! We had a very pleasant stay.

It has been sometime since I stayed in a real home-y and cosy house like Betty's. Our whole group (two families with small children ) was very pleasantly surprised by this beautifully decorated home. There were many essentials as well as some offerings by the host readily available. The location(although not very close to the historic center) is fantastic as it is possible to walk to some famous rock pools and a beach, as well as many restaurants, a mall and a supermarket. Would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat.

Raquel’s place was absolutely impeccable. After five nights of hopping between different beds, my friend and I felt so lucky to land here for three restful nights — exactly what we needed. The space had everything we could have asked for and more. The check-in process was super easy, and Raquel had everything clearly laid out with thoughtful instructions. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us — it truly felt like a breath of fresh air.

Beautiful house. The driveway is easy to miss if you're not paying close attention the first time. Well equipped kitchen. Next to a walking trail by the sea. Well situated to drive to other attractions around the island. Fanal forest, P Moniz, Santana, PR16, were not far away.

Family home, pleasant in a very nice quiet village without a car. We fell under the spell of Jardim do Mar, its small alleys with its typical gardens! Thank you Sofia, we felt at home 😊🙏

Such a great stay, beautiful location and accommodation was top tier. We will definitely stay again!

We loved staying in Corinas well equipped unit. 2 large light filled bedrooms, 2 bathrooms was great with 3 of us and the living area is spacious . We loved the balcony with great view especially at night with the lights of the town and hills. We loved the kitchen eatery as well with beautiful views. Having a parking space within the complex was wonderful! Enjoyed the roof terrace as well. Thanks Corina!

This is truly an amazing place! We celebrated my husband’s 75th birthday and your place was a total surprise for him. He loved everything, the personalized welcome sign in Swedish, the wonderful accomodation, the fantastic views, the total calm and of course the cat Simba. We would live to come back!

Perfect apartment with an incredible view. The location is very well located for discovering the island. Terrace, pool as in the photos, no surprises. Short apartment to book with your eyes closed

Everything was great! Communication went smoothly. The location is ideal. From there you can get all over well and there is a shopping center with supermarket directly across the street. Thanks !

wonderful stay. clean and tidy

This condo was beautiful, clean, and had an amazing view. Plenty of seating, close to a grocery store and many restaurants. The infinity pool which looked over the ocean was lovely. We would definitely recommend.

Great location in a perfect apartment. Clean, scenic and has everything you need. Pool as an extra! Jardim Do Mar is a great place to be for a relaxing time and this apartment is the perfect accompaniment for the village. Friendly dog and two cats if you’re animal lovers.

Great experience, top tier communication with the host. Amazing appartment, spacious, bathrooms really nice and the kitchen was a dream - would come again

Beautiful and well-equipped accommodation, with a superb ocean view. Very welcoming and available hosts. One detail is that the house is close to a tourist spot so there is traffic during the day which can slow down the traffic on the access road to the accommodation slightly, but this does not disturb the calm of the house which remains isolated and pleasant to live in. We recommend this place!

This Airbnb was probably one of my favourite I’ve stayed at. The view of the Atlantic Ocean from the guesthouse is incredible, the house was stocked with everything you could possibly need and super clean. I felt at home and Joana was always responsive if I needed anything. The location was perfect for me (definitely need a car to travel around the island). The pictures don’t do the property justice.

We loved our stay in Antonio’s apartment. It was extremely clean and spacious and had everything we needed and then some. It even had a parking garage for our car. I appreciated that Antonio provided plenty of coffee, soap, shampoo and even laundry detergent. That was really nice and convenient. I loved sitting on the deck overlooking the gorgeous ocean view drinking my coffee or sipping a glass of wine. It was so relaxing! I highly recommend booking Antonio’s place. He is a superb, kind host and will go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and happy.

Ideally located accommodation for hiking at the tip of San Lourenço, the environment is very quiet. You can go to town on foot. The apartment is clean and well-equipped. The mattress and pillows are very hard!

Great location. Very clean and modern apartment . Great host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We loved our week at Nuno's place! The apartment was lovely and bright, we loved to soak in the sun on the terrace. Nuno is very caring host :) Madeira's air is wonderful, and with the terrace door open, the apartment was always filled with fresh air- so good to sleep like that. The terrace is not too windy as well! Just the perfect breeze blowing by. Definitely would recommend the apartment!

Incredible views!! Free parking right outside the door, very clean and best views in all of Madeira!

Carla was a wonderful host! She provided detailed instructions, was responsive to our questions, and the apartment was very well appointed. The kitchen had everything you could need! Enjoying coffee on the deck, overlooking the water, was an unforgettable experience.

We stayed here for 9 nights as a couple and were absolutely thrilled. Communication was excellent, even before the booking – friendly, smooth, and very helpful, which gave us a great feeling right from the start. The apartment was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished with high-quality amenities – nothing was missing. A real highlight were the balconies and the stunning rooftop terrace – perfect for relaxing! We were also able to use the parking space after arranging it in advance, which was very convenient. Grocery stores and great restaurants are within walking distance – the location is ideal. We felt completely at home and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!
