Waterfront holiday rentals in Santa Cruz

Die Unterkunft war wunderschön an einer sehr ruhigen Lage mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht. Es war alles sauber und mit Liebe eingerichtet damit man sich ab dem ersten Moment nur wohlfühlen kann. Es hatte alles was man braucht, auch super fanden wir die vielen Küchenuntensilien und der Grill, den wir jeden Tag benutzten. Die Terrasse mit Whirpool,Lounge,Liegen und Tisch waren das Highlight. Wir verbrachten viel Zeit in der Unterkunft, weil wir uns so wohl gefühlt haben. Der Strand Calheta ist 5min mitem Auto einfach zu erreichen und sehr empfehlenswert. Auch fanden wir den Privatparkplatz super. Bruno und Maria sind sehr zuvorkommend und fragten auch nach wie es uns geht und ob wir etwas brauchen. Die Lage war für uns perfekt, sehr ruhig, viel privatsphäre und doch gelangen wir mitem Auto überall hin. Vielen herzlichen Dank an Bruno und Maria. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. Cumprimentos e até a próxima. David und Sabrina

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.

One month stay in this attic style apartment on top floor of a 4-storey building. It is well-equipped, very well supplied and well furnished. The two excellent terraces have good furniture, lovely views and are private. The apartment is a 2-minute walk to the pedestrian promenade that leads to the Lido area and Formosa Beach and 8 minutes to the main road, bus stops and a good supermarket. Beatrice (the host) responded quickly before and during the stay and Paulo (her local agent) was welcoming - and there were also some nice welcome gifts. The internet worked well in the main living space and one of the terraces. The apartment building was generally quiet; you can hear construction noise from the nearby Dubai Madeira development - but not disturbing. The AC was not effective. Beatrice responded positively to my concerns, provided a portable fan (which helped) and has advised that new AC units will be fitted. Overall, a very good apartment and I have booked to return.

Wir waren 14 Tage inClaudias Wohnung und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Lage der Wohnung ist super und die Terrasse unschlagbar. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

This was hands down the best Airbnb we’ve stayed in! Immaculately clean, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. Check-in was effortless, and the views were absolutely stunning. The location is perfect—close to great restaurants, shopping, and local attractions. We’re already looking forward to booking again!

Alles super! Die Kommunikation verlief problemlos. Die Lage ist optimal. Von dort aus kommt man über all gut hin und es gibt über die Straße direkt ein Einkaufszentrum mit Supermarkt. Danke !

I loved my time here! I worked remotely for a week and loved everything about the location and house. They had everything you need to be comfortable. WiFi was fast. Washing machine worked well. Walking distance to wonderful restaurants, and an easy location for any tour pick ups. I would happily stay here again.

A fantastic stay with Emanuel for 3 weeks , my longest stay at an Air BnB and was perfect for what i was looking for. The place is exactly as described and as in the pictures. Emanuel and his mum were great with communicating and making sure all questions were answered. The location was perfect and everything was within walking distance, most day trips would pick up from outside the apartment. Would 100% stay here again when I come back and cannot recommend them enough

The villa was beautiful - stunning location - and perfectly furnished. Lovely walk to Ponta do Sol village but the walk back is not for the faint hearted - Bolt is available :-) Whilst there were a few teething issues on arrival, Rita was super responsive and helpful in sorting any problems and our stay was great. It was a lovely stay in a stunning villa with amazing views and we would love to come back.

Die Unterkunft entspricht genau den Bildern. Die Aussicht auf Funchal ist wunderbar, ob aus dem Bett oder der Sauna! Es war alles sehr sauber und genügend vorhanden. Der Kontakt mit Dem Gastgeber war ebefalls sehr unkompliziert und schnell. Parkplatz vor dem Appartment ist sehr konfortabel. In die Stadt hat man ca 10-15Min mit dem Auto (Alternativ Uber/Bolt ca 10 Eur). Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und empfehlen diese Unterkunft wärmstens.

We felt very relaxed and comfortable at Antonio’s lovely house and the garden and views were impressive. We appreciated the interesting features in the garden with its nature feel and enjoyed the pool and sauna which we thought was a real asset for the place. The house is interesting and cared about and Antionio was an excellent and helpful host. We were glad of the car we hired to access shops, restaurants, beach and walking areas as without one would be difficult but it suited us really well as 4 adults who wanted a base from which to explore Madeira.

Scott’s place is a great place, not only because the back porch gave an EXCELLENT view, but there was a bus stop right outside the gate! Waking up and coming back to the gorgeous ocean view made our stay worth every penny!

Wir haben unsere Ferien in Madeira und insbesondere die Wohnung in Campanàrio sehr genossen. Die Wohnung ist gemütlich, frisch renoviert und mit allem Notwendigen ausgestattet. Mit einem Mietauto ist die Lage ausserhalb der Hauptstadt kein Problem und man fühlt sich im Dorf, in der Bäckerei und in den Shops herzlich willkommen. Luis ist ein perfekter Gastgeber, hat eine Antwort auf alle Anliegen und ist trotzdem nicht aufdringlich. Wir können die Unterkunft für ein Paar sehr empfehlen.

This was by far the best AirBnB we’ve ever stayed in. Antonio was so helpful from the very beginning (he sent lots of info ahead of our arrival), made sure we could check in in the morning after our early flight and welcomed us personally at his lovely house with pool and all amenities one could look for (specifically in the kitchen and bathrooms, where we found all types of equipment, shampoo, tissues etc). The beds were comfortable, the view was stunning. We were a group of 6 and enjoyed cooking together (particularly barbecuing outdoors), but the house offered many peaceful corners for each of us to relax in, too. We also really appreciated Antonio‘s recommendations for hikes and other things to do on the island. Thanks a lot for everything!!

Het is een prachtig huis met een geweldig uitzicht over de zee en de kliffen. Het is huis is super schoon, netjes en mooi afgewerkt. Het heeft alle faciliteiten die je kan wensen. Wel zijn er in de omgeving bouwwerkzaamheden die hoorbaar zijn maar het helpt om de ramen te sluiten. Ook was het parkeren van de auto wel een ding. Je moet een stijle weg af dus een goede auto is aan te raden. Delilah is erg vriendelijk en prettig om mee te communiceren. Ze stond voor je klaar. Daarnaast stond er bij aankomt vanalles klaar zoals een fruitmand, brood en wat koude drankjes. Dat hebben we enorm gewaardeerd! Het was een fantastische verblijf en we zouden graag terugkomen!

Ce logement atypique sur plusieurs étages est très beau et parfaitement bien aménagé. Nous avons profité des 3 espaces extérieurs. Accueil apprécié avec une belle attention à notre arrivée (fleurs, vin, bière, eau, chocolat). Nous avons également été bien conseillées pour nos sorties et restaurants. A noter : Pas évident pour moi de me garer correctement sur la place de parking mais il est possible de se garer sur un parking en bas de la rue. Nous sommes ravies de notre séjour chez Adriana

Maria’s 8th-floor apartment was perfect! Super clean, spacious, and the balcony had amazing views of the marina, Santa Catarina park, and the city. It has two bedrooms — one with a double bed, the other with two singles — both with private bathrooms and closets. There are three bathrooms total, all spotless. The kitchen had everything, plus a dishwasher and coffee machine. Laura, who welcomed us, was so kind and helpful. She messaged me before arrival, arranged parking, explained everything in the apartment, and even brought us a big bottle of water and fresh coffee capsules the next day. She also gave great local tips. The building has great security and private parking. Honestly, the whole stay was smooth and comfortable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Madeira — close to everything!

This apartment has a very good vibe! Would definitely recommend or choose again! You can watch and listen to the waves which makes it even more amazing. It is simple, pure and clean, towels were big and had a great scent. Pillows were good quality and very comfortable. There is a restaurant (and by the way very good restaurant) in the neighborhood, it’s not disturbing, there’s no music or shouting but there is some business in the evening until guests leave around 9pm.

Very nice place with much more room than in a hotel. You will need some airpieces because it is in the city. So if you are not used to city noises that helps. Big bathroom, big sleeping rooms a big livingroom and practical kitchen. A nice bakery right next to the apartment and very easy to walk to points of interest in the city.

Die Wohnung ist hell und liebevoll eingerichtet. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Die Tiefgarage ist geräumig. Super, daß eine Waschmaschine und Spülmaschine da war. Iri hat sich viel Mühe gegeben und uns auf ihrem Weg am nächsten Tag nochmal zum Flughafen mitgenommen , da wir Probleme mit der Autovermietung hatten. Ein toller Aufenthalt

The host was incredibly helpful and friendly, sent us many local restaurant recommendations, very responsive. Totally recommend booking this place on your next trip!

Can’t recommend enough. Clean, fantastic space, great location. Marina really helpful and always responsive. Well equipped kitchen with everything for meals in but equally a 10 minute drive into Funchal. The view from the apartment is beautiful and the location means everything is easily accessible. Supermarket across the road. We didn’t hire a car because the location was so great.

We had a great time at Miguel and Ana’s place. They have a beautiful condo close to the sea and with a lovely balcony and view. Very spacious and a nice location. Overall, loved it!

We booked a room with a view and boy did we get a room with a view. With that view and the cleanliness of the room you hardly have to go outside to have a great vacation. But if you don’t want to do that you can also walk to the city center and the boulevard. If you rented a car you get plenty of private and free parking (even with a cat!). The host was a big help and made everything very easy. We are really happy with our stay and can recommend it to everyone!
