SEA BAY House - view and relax

It worked out well.

We had a very pleasant one-week stay at Sea Bay House. The apartment is centrally located, very comfortable, light and equipped with taste and care. We absolutely loved the fantastic view over the ocean, the sound of the waves and the two terrasses! We felt like home from the first minute. Sitting outside in the evening with a glass of wine and the candles that were part of the equipment gave us the perfect holiday feeling. There was easy parking in front or very close to the house. The road was quiet at night so that it did not really matter that the bedrooms go to the road side. Diogo was away on work but very concerned about our well-being. We were in touch via WhatsApp and his lovely friend Sandra took excellent care of us. They gave us tips on restaurants and activities, etc. Thanks so much to both of you! We can fully recommend this beautiful place to everyone.

Highly recommended accommodation in a central location for exploring the island. View and soundtrack of the ocean are the main feature of this property and the layout of the house is perfect for this. With enough patience and good binoculars you can eventually see dolphins in the bay, although there are better locations for this. The house is on a one-way street with occasional traffic, but we were never disturbed by traffic noise. There are parking spaces right outside that were always available. The house has a good range of equipment and seating options inside and out. Lagoa itself is more of a base for wider exploration, but we did walk to the square near the church a couple of times and the pool complex is of a high standard. There are small local shops within walking distance and a large supermarket within 5 minutes drive. Diogo is an excellent and attentive host, ably assisted by Sandra who gave us great tips on the best beaches and excursions. Would return.

Good spot to be a short drive anywhere you want to go on the island. A beautiful island with lots of nature things to do. Diogo was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. He gave us great restaurant recommendations. Our favorite restaurant in Logoa was Borda d Água for the best fish dinner all week.

The house has a beautiful view to the Atlantic and we really enjoyed the peace and the closeness to nature. It is very well decorated and clean. Diogo was very concerned about our wellbeing . Sandra is very nice and gave us good tips to explore the Island. A dream vacation !

The property manager/owner (Diogo) is very pleasant, approachable and accommodating. Because this was our first time in Azores/Lagoa, we were not prepared for the bedrooms to be on street side of property, which could be somewhat noisy. The addition of a requested room fan helped to provide welcome white noise at night. Mornings were pleasant on deck overlooking cove. The kitchen is nicely appointed. Extra bedding, pillows and towels were also appreciated. There was plenty of room to relax in the location in less optimal moments or when we just felt like reading and hanging out. The location is quite central for touring, as we easily drove to all points of the island.

Diogo has a beautiful home and the view of the ocean from the balcony is picture perfect. This location is convenient to all the gorgeous sights in Sao Miguel. There is a little market next door that sells fresh rolls every morning and you will delight in the sounds of the Azorean night birds every evening. Diego's hospitality was wonderful. He met us at the apt the first morning and provided us with helpful information to help us begin our adventure. This home was so comfortable and we loved waking up to the sounds of the ocean. You will probably need a GPS find this home and since it is on-street parking you'll need to rent a smaller car. We would definitely stay here again.

Our April 2019 holiday was wonderful despite the cooler weather. Diogo’s house is convenient in the town of Lagoa. It has a great view of the ocean and walking around the small town is easy. Diogo was away with work but we were left in the very capable hands of his good friend Sandra. Our friendship now is lifelong. We did have some issues with the bathroom and kitchen sink drains but an email to Diogo brought a very quick response. He followed up with an email stating he was correcting the problem. We would recommend this home away property for your stay. Think the months of May, June,July, August and September would be the best times for your trip

We spent one week in Diogo's home, last week of August 2018. The moment I walked into the terrace- I fell in love with the house. We had breakfast and some dinners on the terrace, overlooking the ocean and spying on the cows and fishermen-- all while enjoying the local cheeses, butter and delicious Portuguese bread -drinking locally grown tea. The location is excellent- very easy drive to Ponta Delgada- my husband drove to play tennis there few times- it is no more than 12 minutes of easy drive - no traffic, ever. The beds are fine, bedrooms are separate, living room has a dinning area with a nice table and chairr. Kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for cooking. You don't need to buy salt or flour or even sugar, as Diogo has this nice tradition of a Hunting house. Every guest leaves something for the next guest in the pantry..Therefore, the essentials are most likely already there. Diogo is the best host I have ever encountered in my travels. Very attentive, helpful and very friendly. He gave us good suggestions, of which we followed every single one and I have no regrets. Everything he suggested was a great trip/dining experience. I will come back next year, to spend another week in Lagoa. There is a business card of a fish restaurant on the side table in the hall- please go and eat at that place. That was by far the best restaurant in Lagoa if not the entire island for fish. We waited till the last night to go eat there and had I known it was going to be so delicious- I would have dined there every single night. Thank you, Diogo, for your hospitality..

You get this terrific sea view from the entire south side of the house. It's really roomy - two large bedrooms, large kitchen and long combined living room and dining room with an attached balcony. Lagoa is just 10 minutes from the bustle of Ponta Delgado, in a quite environment. Easy from there to get around the island. The street it is on is residential, but has small food stores nearby that are handy, and is walking distance to the restaurants, ocean and pool swimming, and other amenities, including a large supermarket. The house is well furnished, though nothing fancy. Sort of like a beach house. The kitchen is really well equipped. However, be sure to bring all comestibles you need - there were no basic food stocks (spices, salt, etc.) that some rentals offer. The owner was very conscientious about making sure we had no problems and everything we needed. Overall, it's a great value that's hard to find in this price range.
