When we booked this house, we did not appreciate quite how fabulous the location of this property is! The Vale do Lobo Resort (one of the original ones in The Golden Triangle) is quite large, but this house is a five minute walk to the action - be it the beach, the eight restaurants, or the golf club and fitness centre. And on top of it is located in a quiet cul-de-sac, which makes it perfect to sit outdoors and enjoy your meals under the shady tree (it became quickly our favourite spot to sit).
The 3 bedrooms were ideal for our family - two bedrooms upstairs with two single beds each, one has a small en-suite bathroom, the other one a larger bathroom (but not connected). The ground-floor bedroom has a queen-size bed, and again a lovely bathroom (all with modern showers). The kitchen is small, and has limited counter space, but all the appliances you could need. The A/C was much appreciated during our stay, and every bedroom has its own A/C unit.
If there is a bit room for improvement, it would be that it comes very "bare bones". We have stayed at other rental properties which provide you with the extras and make you feel staying "in a home away from home". We missed basics such as paper towels, tissues, napkins, toilet paper, laundry detergent, or in the kitchen oil, vinegar, spices etc. I understand the need to leave a clean place for the next guest, but a few non-perishable extras would go a long way. In particular, if you come by plane finding the basics and perhaps beach towels and a beach umbrella would be wonderful amenities!
Otherwise, a wonderful place in a terrific location!
