Beautiful Benagil

The Benagil Beach Bungalow was a perfect house and location for myself, husband and two young adult sons. The surroundings were lively at the start of the day and then quiet by night. It had a unique layout however functional and full of amenities. The back bedroom could use updated beds and bedding, although the overall home was comfortable. It was very convenient to restaurants, boating, swimming and hiking.

Absolutely amazing location

We couldn't have wished for a better location. Quick and easy access to local towns and amenities. Great restaurants within walking distance. Lots to do and see. The home is well equipped with all you need. Beds are very comfortable! Thank you for the great stay

Great Property!

This a terrific property in a prime location. It has everything a family needs to have a great vacation in the Algarve. The property manager was exceptionally helpful and reassuring when it appeared that we may have to stay longer. Perhaps the only thing that could be improved are the mattresses on the beds. We would certainly return.

Busy spot.

The beach was very busy during the day with bumping music beginning at 9am. No privacy on deck. People walk onto deck thinking it’s the walking trail between beaches. A good spot for young adults. Pictures make it look remote and private, it’s beautiful but very public and busy. Also, no actual access to caves from beach level.

Best view in Benagil!

This charming cottage is right on the beach, which you will pretty much have to yourself in the early morning and evenings/nights. It was also quiet all day on the Sunday we were there. The patio is stunning. There are fantastic restaurants so close you can see them from your patio. You are about at the half-way point on the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, an easy walk to Praia de Marinha (1/2 hour tops). We were always able to find free parking just above the cottage. It is a STEEP walk on stairs and pavement both down to the beach and up to the parking but well worth it if you can manage it.

Cliffs of Algarve

The walking trail that passes adjacent to this cottage is spectacular as is the view and amazing local seafood. This cottage itself is lovely and faces beautiful cliffs and a beach (that was unfortunately covered in seaweed during the entire week we stayed.) What we didn’t realize is that this beach is a busy tourist and hiker stop and when outside there is no privacy. Mattresses could use upgrading and parking is an issue. Overall enjoyed our stay but would pick another home next time.

beautiful location

Wonderful location right on the beach. House layout was somewhat awkward regarding sleeping arrangements for 3 children, as the second double bedroom is located quite far away from the living room sofa bed. House is well equipped, though lighting in bathrooms could definitely be improved. Parking is provided a short walk away in the village, but we got used to the steps to the house. The terrace is such a beautiful place to enjoy outdoor meals and the bbq was great. Overall an amazing setting and very peaceful when we visited in May. The property manager, Mena, was very helpful and pleasant.

perfect setting for a romantic getaway

incredible location, simply world beating. the property itself is a little quirky and too big for just 2 adults i guess. if there were more then the sleeping arrangements would be a bit of a challenge too due to the nature of the property. That said, still nicely decorated and well fitted. Make sure you get your Uber account set up before you go as you will need it if yuou dont have a car.

Perfect location

The perfect place for a stay in the Algarve. The house was perfect for us 5, very spacious and clean, perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The view from the terrace is wonderful, especially in the evening when the sun goes down and the rocks turn a deep orange. Parking on the public parking lot a few 100m away is no problem, you can stop at the bottom of the bay to load/unload. Thus the suitcases and the purchases do not have to be carried so far. The support by the agency was exemplary, very friendly and with very short reaction times (thanks Mena!).

Magical experience

The house is literally built right into a sea cliff. The ocean crashes beneath the patio / deck. The beach is very private in the evenings. The house is beautifully decorated and appointed. The cons: There is no onsight parking.; you must park above and lug your things down. Also, the beds are not very comfortable. That being said, I am so happy to have had the opportunity to stay here.

Almost too good to be true!

Pure magic. I told my husband that I thought this listing had to be fake because for the price, right ON THE BEACH, 3BR 2BTH, absolute perfection. This beach bungalow is in the side of a cliff at the very edge of Benagil. Overlooking the famous beach and facing ocean with cliff face, it could not be more picturesque. The house was perfect for family because it is narrow with no hall across bedrooms but the trade off of the unique, super special location is no contest. Only ask I would have for hosts is please leave a little coffee to at least get guests through a morning or two to find groceries. Walking to coffee, ice cream and at least four restaurants including Algar which was as good as any five star we’ve dined at. Best view and most special location I’ve ever stayed anywhere in the world.

Beautiful and peaceful

If you want a peaceful and relaxed beach holiday this house is perfect. It is a very comfortable house with an outside area you can sit in when the beach gets too busy. Benagil itself is very pretty although it does get very crowded (where doesn’t in August?!). As you can escape the crowds by retreating to the house it is not too much of a problem. There are a number of restaurants within close walking distance although there is no shop. We did not hire a car so took an uber to the nearest supermarket - this was very easy. There are steps up to the house from the beach or down to the house from the road above. It’s location gives the house a secluded feeling even when it is busy at the beach. The house has everything you need and felt very spacious (we were 2 adults 2 children). We would definitely return.

Benagil Beach Home

Overall, the property was OK. However, the following points were disappointing: 1) The property was described as quiet and intimate - this was, however, not the case at all: there was extremely loud music from the beach bar from 2 pm to 8 pm every day. 3) Tourists left their garbage in front of the gate. 3) Several times, people opened the gate and walked onto the patio to take a selfie. They even left their belongings before going to the beach, although we were home. Thus, the gate should be better secured and labeled "private property." Given this mismatch between the online description and advertisement and the reality, the price tag for this beach home was too high. We have rented houses via VRBO regularly, and we have never experienced such a mismatch between the description of "being quiet and intimate" and the reality of "extremely loud music and tourist interruptions on the property itself.

Fabulous holiday!

Unbeatable location perched above beautiful Benagil beach. Unrivalled views from the terrace which was a fantastic place to sit - so close to the beach but a tranquil retreat from the August chaos! It was especially beautiful in the evenings when the beach was quiet - no better place to eat in Benagil! Only slight issue was fact that there was only one key - others have commented on this, but it did mean that the bedroom nearest the kitchen has to be walked through to get to the second bedroom. Would be so much better if two parts of the house could be self- contained! Also, there is no supermarket in Benagil - you do have to drive to the nearest supermarket. We arrived late at night and a few provisions for breakfast would have been so welcome - even just a bottle of water in the fridge! These were small problems - we had a wonderful stay in Benagil in this very special house and would thoroughly recommend it!
