São Sebastião oceanfront rentals

Our overall experience was above and beyond and we really really had a fabulous time at the villa!!!! The photos on the site really under sell the property which led us to be pleasantly surprised upon arrival! There is new furniture indoor and out and new bathrooms which are just lovely and nice and modern. Amazing rain shower upstairs! Communication with the owners was great prior to arrival as we had a few questions about high chairs etc. The address is a little difficult to find on google maps - a direct link which is active on the site would be really helpful so it can be pre saved prior. We received all the information and codes etc required a few days prior and checked in slightly early which was really convenient. We were greeted upon arrival by the property manager who was able to answer any queries. Lucky she arrived just after us as the lockbox code had been updated and we could only get the keys as we guys the code! This was of course changed immediately. The villa itself is beautiful - amazing views. Superb pool - we were worried it might have been a bit cool due to it not being heated but this was not the case at all. The kitchen is the most well equipped kitchen I have ever seen with a jug, serving platter or utensil for any occasion! There were also condiments and heaps of cleaning materials supplied. The villa also has a safe. No air conditioning but we stayed on 38 degree heat and didn’t miss it as fans are provided and there’s a lovely breeze through the villa when all is open. Wifi is great. Marina the housekeeper is a gem! She was so helpful and thorough and we enjoyed chatting to her! The grounds are lovely and we didn’t get too bitten whilst sitting outside. I know people have mentioned the road being a bit difficult but it’s really not so bad - just need a bit of a run up and a swift turn! No shampoo is supplied but there is body wash. There are lots of toilet rolls but if you run out it’s up to you to repurchase. We didn’t mind this at all and only ran out on our last day! The bottle of wine upon arrival is a really nice touch as is the farewell visit from the property manager. If we are ever on a family holiday in Lagos again we would definitely stay here again! Thanks to the owners and staff for a wonderful family holiday!
