Welcome to Doca's Refuge, a cosy refuge just two steps away from Doca do Cavacas, known for its charming natural pools and proximity to the Madeira sea.



Upon entering the apartment, you find a spacious living room, connected to the kitchen through a practical counter.



The kitchen is fully equipped, ideal for preparing meals with complete comfort. The living room, spacious and cosy, was designed to convey serenity through its decoration inspired by the blue tones of the ocean, reflecting the maritime spirit of its privileged location.



On the same floor, you will find the main bedroom, with direct access to a cosy balcony - perfect for enjoying an outdoor breakfast or a peaceful dinner.



This balcony extends and provides connection to another outdoor space, equipped with comfortable furniture, including a table, chairs and a sofa, providing the ideal setting for moments of relaxation.



The house also has a functional bathroom, equipped with a bathtub to relax after a day exploring the island.



Location is another of the major highlights: just a few steps away you have everything you need, from supermarkets and restaurants to beaches and leisure spots, to enjoy the best that Madeira has to offer.



Doca's Refuge is the perfect place for those looking to combine convenience, proximity to the sea, and the unique experience of living Madeira in an authentic way.



Since 2017, we have been receiving travellers from all over the world on our beloved Madeira Island, with the commitment to provide memorable experiences and excellent service. We started as Madeira Sun Travel, a name that reflected the sun, comfort, and welcoming spirit that has always guided us.



Over time, we realised that we wanted to go further: more proximity, more authenticity, more connection.



This is how Homie was born. More than a new name - a new way of being.



Each stay is thought out in detail to be special and welcoming. Each house has its own story. And each guest is received like an old friend.



Beyond comfort and hospitality, we also provide, upon request, additional services such as car rental, activity bookings, personalised experiences and much more - all so that you can enjoy Madeira to the fullest.



Be a traveller looking for a special spot or a homeowner seeking someone who will care for your home with dedication, you are in the right place.



We further inform that check-ins after 22:00 have an extra fee of €20, payable to our host at the time of check-in.



Homie - Your home away from home, on the beautiful island of Madeira.

    We arrived FNC 1100. They wouldn't let us leave our luggage in the property, claiming cleaning was to be done (they can't clean around a couple of wheeled suitcases?). Waited at FNC for 4hrs & arrived 1600 as arranged. No-one turned up to let us in for another 30mins.Despite stating kitchen is fully equipped and home away from home it's nowhere near. Kitchen equipment missing: salad spinner, whisk, masher, mixing bowls, jugs, can opener, baking trays, toaster and not enough mugs.Broken washing machine replaced within a couple of days.No: laundry basket, clothes pegs (a few provided on request), dustpan brush & mop/bucket (ditto), microwave instructions, oven knob icons had been wiped, side tables & bedside cabinets - we used chairs/stools/floor.Some hosts provide equipment when asked but not here.The water did not get hot enough till someone came to fix the gas pressure.Pros: location, next to Lido promenade, on 3 bus routes inc yellow tour; grocer with bakery, alcohol & limited fruit/veg; plenty of towel rails; frostless fridge/freezer; salt, pepper, oil & vinegar, toiletriesCons: road noisy, heavy traffic (OK at night); dark apartment (poor design); kitchen badly designed (wrongly hinged fridge/freezer, drawer unit fouled by oven door); bed small, comfortable but vast duvet didn't fit covers; small open balcony; larger enclosed one, windows filthy quickly; building needs repair; rubbish area not emptied/cleaned often enough; spa bath rusty with no instructions.
