Beachfront holiday rentals in Chã de Areia

I very much enjoyed my stay at Alessandro’s place. He and his wife were very welcoming, the house is beautiful and perfectly located. Alessandro was always helpful and kind and would happily answer questions, give recommendations and let me feel at home. Unfortunately, I could not communicate much with his wife because I don’t speak her languages. But she was patient with me when I tried to talk to her and was very kind, too. She is a great cook and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner with them. I highly recommend this place and highly recommend having at least (!!) one meal with them :) I am already thinking about coming back because I only got to spend 3 nights there.

Amazing! If you don’t stay here, you are missing out on a fantastic experience. Chris and Mona are incredible. such kind, generous and welcoming people. The meals they served us were so fresh and tasty, there are also lots of fun activities like snorkelling and fishing available here. We had a lovely time and will definitely be back again! Thank you Chris and Mona for everything.

a great and peaceful spot to retreat from the world with good readings, or play in the waves. A very clean seafront villa, with the sound of waves, good bedding. Km of sandy beach without anyone, a restaurant on site, or the good little Gambian dishes of Loja Bert that can be taken away (15 min walk, in Morro), wifi (a little random) and Claudio's friendly welcome... what more could you ask for?!

The accommodation is very good, the amenities are good. The shops and the sea are close. But above all Maria is exceptional, close, responsive, friendly. Excellent pastry chef, she offered us good cake. It feels like home. Her husband speaks English and a little French. I recommend this beautiful experience.

We spent a week here and it was excellent. The house is basic but comfy. The property is very calm and since the studio is on a side path, not many people walk in front. The pool and it's view on the ocean and sunset is just breathtaking. The beach down a few stairs is super nice and easy sandy access to swim. When snorkeling you can spot some very nice fish and rock formation. The property is minutes away from the center, shops and food places. Make sure to try "Cha-cha Chicken" (location on G.maps, just 1 minute walk) and the tuna (atum) at the restaurant on the Fort José. The welcoming was great, the staff is very friendly. There was no welcome basket for us at arrival but it is not important. We got picked up at the port by someone with a Stella Maris sign (which is the name of the property). Pick up was fast and no issues there. Overall very nice stay and would recommend to anyone looking for peace, great swimming experiences and easy access to town.

Great place as others have mentioned...I had to book last minute and got a room. The room is very clean and in a residential area. Very calm comfortable and view on the ocean. There is the AC and shops are 20minutes away by foot. Carlos was very nice, welcoming and very responsive via messages . Wifi worked great as well. I recommend 100%

Amazing accommodation, which is full of small unusual details to make the experience memorable: piano and guitar, games for children, Creole language guides, hammock, small well-equipped kitchenette, natural stone shower, balcony facing the ocean... The location is amazing, falling asleep at night with the sound of the waves remains a lasting memory.

This was such a beautiful space to stay. It was great waking up to a view of the water and listening to waves crashing on shoreline. The host family was helpful and responsive to questions ask. The place matched the picture. The only drawback is the accessibility of taxi from the premise, but this is remedied by walking out to the main road or nearby gas/petrol station. Overall, I enjoyed my time and will consider staying again if in area.

Amazing. Very nice house, magnificent view, the pool is splendid and the private beach at the foot of the house is absolutely wonderful - 10 minutes' walk from the village beach - very friendly with its small bars - and 15 minutes from the sublime wild beach of Preta - the hospitality is very well managed - The team helped us get ferry tickets - an ideal place to rest in the sweetness of Maio Island.

fabulous villa in great location, perfect holiday

Andrea's place is very well located as it is a few 100m to the nearest supermarket as well as to the city beach a good quarter of an hour walk. The house has been lovingly built, the garden very green. Under the tree you can relax wonderfully in the shade. The barbecue invites you to fry fish and vegetables in the evening. The communication with Andrea went smoothly, there were very good tips and an answer to all questions. Clear recommendation!

Patricia and her husband offer a magnificent house with the most beautiful view! The apartment offered everything we needed - a pool, quiet rooms, a well equipped kitchen and an outdoor BBQ and all support we could think of of Patricia and her staff. All in all: we had a wonderful stay in Maio, it is really an island to calm down, enjoy nature, sun and the sea. Thanks a lot!

This is a lovely house, with a large living room, a fully stocked kitchen, a veranda, overlooking the ocean. The house is very quiet, cozy, the pool is literally behind the neighboring house. From the pool you can walk down to the small beach. Big great beaches within a 10 minute walk. Nearby there are several shops, with a good assortment of products. And most importantly: we saw whales right from the veranda of our house, it's incredible!

Very beautiful and large house, very comfortable, with an amazing view, a peaceful terrace and nickel rooms. Close to the center, on foot. A big thank you to Mirtes, our host, edy, the driver and Vanusa, the cook who really took care of us. nothing to say. Thank you very much. Small downside for the extremely noisy water pump as soon as we use water. and for the pool that deserves a good maintenance. We recommend it.

Very nice accommodation, well located and very clean on the beautiful island of Maio. We arrived at 9am and were able to directly access the accommodation with transportation included from the port. The infinity pool is very well maintained and allows you to perfectly contemplate the sunset. Access to a private beach is also present and allows extreme tranquility.

We had a great time at Esther and Luiz's place. The apartment is in a great location, close to the two beaches. The accommodation is nice, clean. Luiz is very responsive, very good communication. I recommend it 200%

Mirian was amazing - even when I managed to lock myself out - and the location and price made her place the perfect home base for a Praia adventure. I'll be back!

Me and my friends had a great time at this Airbnb home. It is very spacious, cozy and just meters from the beach. Elsemanual is very warm and friendly. She was quick to respond to any questions we had and address our needs. The roar of the ocean nearby helped make for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. If you’re looking for a home away from home with a Cape Verdean cultural flair, I would highly recommend this place.

Beautiful apartment very clean. Rooftop swimming pool with amazing ocean views Hosts always responsive and helpful. I definitely recommend it

Tété and his family were very welcoming! It feels like home. We particularly appreciated the recommendations of restaurants/activities/outings displayed in the room. ❤️A big thank you! Go there without a second thought!

The apartment is beautiful and decorated thoughtfully. You can enjoy the balcony at all times of the day with a beautiful view on the Atlantic. Else is a truly nice and forthcoming host. I can without a doubt recommend the apartment for a stay in Praia.

A very high standard apartment with stunning sea views and a security service in the residence. The space is even better than pictured. Common areas like the rooftop terrace and pool are well-maintained. Samuel is very responsive when needed, he offers additional services like taxis from the airport and car rental that I recommend. Thank you again so much, we were able to have a great stay thanks to you.
