Ilhéu Corner - Blue and Sea

Excellent little apartment on the ocean. Loved the use of the washing machine, the kitchen was great for preparing some simple meals. The host was very good at helping us find the place and showing us the amenities. We loved opening up the sliding door to get some fresh air and sounds from the ocean. The sofa was a little oversized for the space and the memory foam matress wasn't the most comfortable for sleeping, but overall it was a pleasant stay.

You can't beat the location of this sweet, cozy, super clean apartment. The unit is just a few feet from the ocean and the great seawalk that leads into the center of Ponta Delgada, a lovely 40-minute stroll. The place was well-equipped and the complimentary food items and beverages were appreciated. A terrific restaurant is right next door and sand beaches but a short walk. The host was very responsive. Finding the dead-end street with the parking area was a little challenging for us, but our host was helpful. Really a gem for a single or a couple.

Great apartment- small, but well designed and has absolutely everything you need. Location is great- seaview and an easy 30min walk to centre of Ponta Delgada or less than 10min on electric scooter! Only downside is the restaurant next door which is noisy in the evening (we had earplugs and it was fine to sleep) and people stand outside the apartment to smoke. Great host, would recommend.

I have been to Sao Miguel before, so knew the general area. Everything is convenient, and the apartment, though compact, has everything one needs. Tasteful decoration, clean, cool, and a terrific view. The hosts provided Azorean bread, cheeses, jam, and wine, and that was such a nice touch. They were accessible and welcoming, and after a long trip, we appreciated not needing to find a market right away. We also appreciated the access to a washing machine. We hiked every day in heat, and it was nice to have clean things. I really can’t think of anything that this nice little place lacked. Thank you again!

This property was absolutely fantastic! The host was awesome with greeting us, being available for questions, and calling us a cab when it was time to check out. The unit had everything we could want to make us feel at home and we were welcomed with a basket of fresh fruit and items for breakfast. The ocean right outside our doorstep, an amazing restaurant right next door, and a walk along the seawall to town (took us about 40 min) made us very happy with the location. We can't wait to come back and stay again!

At our arrival we had a basket of goods… cheese, fruits, crackers, jam… a bottle of wine and it was very appreciated. Walking distance to Ponta Delgada, restaurants and markets. There was a natural pool just in font and a beautifl view. The only bother was the matress which curved in the middle.

I'd like to give this stay a solid 5 but there is something I think is fair to mention. First, that thing. From the online pix, I thought we were right on the sea. And essentially we were, but between us and it was a double path - bicycle and pedestrian - which was lit up all night. And immediately beside us was a restaurant with a large outdoor patio that served until late, was brightly lit, and sometimes noisy. Now the good stuff. Elisabete is a dream host. How can I serve you? is clearly her attitude. She had the apartment ready right on time, then arranged to visit us in person to tell us about the apartment, neighborhood, and island and included an island map upon which she had marked places of interest. In the apartment she had a bottle of wine, milk, cheese made on the island, crackers, local jam, plus more, and all the cooking tools we needed. She and her husband live in a different part of the property, and she was quickly available if we needed something. Elisabete is friendly, enthusiastic about her guests and accommodation, cheerful, generous, witty, and she keeps a spotless apartment and laundry area. There is an air conditioner that kept the apartment at a lovely temperature when we were inside. We had only a few minutes' walk to where we could swim in the ocean, which was wonderful after hikes in the heat. If light at night and voices of people dining do not bother you, this is an excellent accommodation. One can always close the windows and blinds.

Very quaint and clean, close to beaches, and the downtown, beautiful view of the ocean, the hostess was very friendly and helpful right from the day we booked to the day we left. We recommend 100%

Stayed here for a week. Elisabete made us feel so welcome, with all kinds of little gifts to help us settle in. Very unexpected, very thoughtful. The apartment was excellent, well furnished, with a spectacular view! Could sit and watch the ocean all day! Great location. Interesting walks. Thank you for adding so many great memories to our visit to the Azores!

A wonderful beautiful location and all the “things” you need to make you feel at home. Our host was so informative and checked in on us through text to see how things were going. She had a bottle of wine bread jam fruit milk really made us feel welcome. I would definitely book here again. Thank you for sharing your home. Tim and Tammy

Perfect quiet location. Hostess was excellent. We couldn’t have asked for more! Will definitely stay here again! Thank you!!!!
