Beautiful 2bd/2 bath Ocean Front Apartment at Praia dos Ingleses

The apartment is great. The location is top! We had a fantastic time there. The landlord is very kind and supported us with all the needs we had, e. g. getting the rental-car as we did not speak portuguese language. In any case we can recommend to rent this flat. Thomas, Brigitte, Guido and Sascha

Very nice small complex in the center of the beach area. It is a typical busy Brazilian beach where you can buy everything from clothes trees/bathing suits/cover ups and food. The general area was very busy and therefore somewhat noisy at night, but very convenient and right across the street from a supermarket. Many restaurants and food places immediately available. The apartment itself was nicely furnished, we did have some trouble with the dryer part of the washer dryer. The beach it self was clean with nice waves, though does get somewhat narrow at high tide. A great place for a family beach vacation. I would also travel around the island and visit the various variety of beaches

I stayed here over Christmas and New Years with my husband and two children of 11 and 9. The condo was about the right size for us. The convertible sofa did come in handy when the kids needed their own space. The beds were comfortable and the rooms nicely decorated. We were there when the beach was its busiest and were thankful not to have to battle traffic to get groceries or visit the beach. The beach was great for kids. Little undertow and a lot of shallow water with decent waves for body boarding. We rented an umbrella and 4 chairs for the day really close to the condo gates. Restaurants nearby on the strip are casual botecas or pizzarias. There are two grocery stores which carry a good selection of food. I would recommend this vacation rental for families and anyone who is looking for a place right on the beach.

A friend of mine and I travelled to Florianopolis over the christmas holiday. From the start of booking this unit, Jaime was more than helpful to answer any questions I had about the place and with lots of information about the island itself (places to go, how to get around, etc.). Upon arrival, Jaime and his wife were quite welcoming. I have rented many temporary condo's across the world and must say that this owner was one of the best. The place itself is quite amazing! The view is even better than shown in the pictures. Everything is brand new and very clean. And yes....the sound of the ocean is right there when you open the windows! The best part: direct access to the beach. The location of the complex is in the best location of the island. Always lots of action going on over there. The place is also right along the busy streets with the restaurants, shops, etc. Quite the little beach city. The 24-hour security is also quite helpful. The entire complex is very secure; not that you have anything to worry about in this area of Brazil. I wish I could just turn back time and go back; it was quite amazing! Thanks for everything!

My family and I spend 10 days at Praia dos Ingleses. For us it was perfect the beach right in front of the apartment with nice fun waves. Everything was close to the apartment surfshop, supermarket, restaurants etc... the people were very nice and very safe area. I am defenately going back to Praia dos Ingleses. The owner Mr. Jaime was very nice and attentive with my family and I. two thumbs up!! Obrigado!!

The apartment complex is ideally located on the beach and very close to shopping/dining. Everything we could need in the kitchen was there. The owner was very accommodating and extremely responsive to your needs. I highly recommend this apartment if you want to be in the middle of the action of Praia Ingleses. One practical note: The second bedroom has a bunk bed appropriate for children. In the living room there is a pull out couch which becomes two staggered twin beds.

My family and I just returned from a delightful week at this comfortable apartment. It is a beachfront property where all you need is a stone's throw away. The apartment is adorable, newly remodeled and it was perfect for our family of four. It is literally steps from the very popular Praia dos Ingleses. While packed during the week we were there, (between Christmas and New Year 2010), it is incredibly relaxing and low key. The crowd is very family oriented, and actually there was a refreshing and harmonious generational mix. Vendors of everything from sunglasses to Brazilian snacks (such as melted cheese sticks in oregano) to fruit juices and caipirinhas come to right to you as you sun bathe. The sea is warm and waves are rough enough to learn to surf but not dangerous and swimmers of all ages can enjoy themselves. In fact my kids, 12 and 14, took surfing lessons from the Ingleses surfing school which is right in front and just to the left of the apartment building and they learned thanks to very professional instructors. Each morning we would walk just across the street to buy Pasteis de Belem from the well stocked Colina supermarket for breakfast. We had first enjoyed these sweet cream filled pastries in Portugal and it was a delight to find them again, fresh and warm at Colina on a daily basis. On New Year's eve everyone took their champagned out to the beach and celebrated with lots of noise, fanfare and fireworks. Last but not least I must mention that the owner of the apartment, Jaime, was incredibly nice, attentive, and helpful from the minute I made the inquiry right up to the day we left. Indeed my family and I would love to return to this property!
