Though we would not go in March again because of the rainy/cloudy weather, we would give this place a big thumbs up for location, quietness, and view. Fairly priced, and central to several island highlights, we had a very comfortable stay.

Such and amazing home and the location and views were better than we could have imagined. The hosts provided everything we could have needed and the tea and treats they left for us upon arrival were a lovely surprise. Perfect location to easily get to Furnas and Ribeira Grande. Beach cafe and restaurant within walking distance served delicious food. If we ever return we would stay here again!

This lovely home is centrally located for exploring the island. The host communicated well. The house had every single thing we needed to stay comfortably. The view from two terraces was spectacular. We highly recommend this property.

Jose was a wonderful host who was very responsive and helpful when we had a small crisis (not with the property). The location was perfect for us -- centrally located on the island, allowing for easy day trips in any direction. Both restaurants within walking distance were very good, and the village of Moinhos itself was picturesque, and one of our favorite places of the entire trip. The property was great, having everything we needed. We would not hesitate to book here again -- one of our very best VRBO experiences.

We were allowed to spend a great week in the House. The Location of the house is perfect to explore the entire Island and close to a beautiful beach. The House is very well equipped and was very clean. Many thanks to the friedly landlord.

We loved the central location and balconies with the gorgeous views! During the day we would explore the island and then come back in the evening to hang out or walk to the beach. Park with waterfalls is also right around the corner. Owner was easy to reach and very responsive and flexible with check in.

Checkin was super easy. The place was really spotless. They had nice shampoo, and body wash in both bathrooms. The terrace had an amazing view of the Atlantic. The terrace had an awning that completely and automatically covered the whole thing. It was a really nice place.

We cannot say enough good about this house. Perfect location on the island, within range of everything but not in the crowd of the city. Walking distance to the best beach on the island (and good hiking trails). House is beautiful, was clean and well-stocked when we arrived. Plenty of space for our family, and a nice view. We will absolutely be looking to return to this property when we return to the island.

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The place is clean and well equipped. The location is very convenient. It is easy to get to all parts of the Island from here. Beautiful views of the water. Mr. Martins is very responsive and easy to work with. We would love to return.

Had a wonderful time at José's property. It was exactly as advertised. Quiet area, beautiful views, and your own personal waterfall. Beach just a few minutes walk, and centrally located to the entire island. Having a washing machine came in handy, and the outdoor shower was perfect. Parking on the steep hill with a stick shift can be a little bit exciting but outside of that everything was a breeze. Would definitely stay again.

Our group of 5 adults had a wonderful week at House of Hydrangeas, a very comfortable home with a beautiful view of the ocean. It was so relaxing hearing the surf and the waterfall. The house was in the perfect central location for day trips to explore all parts of the island. Parking spaces were available right in front of the house.The house had everything you needed to cook meals and was also very near to excellent restaurants. Self check in/check out was very convenient and Jose was easy to reach. It was exciting to see the hydrangeas at the house in full bloom in late September!

Our family spent 2 weeks at this lovely house. Its exactly as described on VCBO. Lots of room for 6 people, and the views.... incredible. José was easily available online for any questions. Two restaurants within a 5 minite walk. One beach food, the other fine dining. Bring your hiking shoes. Would definitely stay again.

Jose was quick to respond to our questions. The view is amazing ! The villa has everything you need. Plenty of room for the five of us! There are three balconies. We have no complaints. I highly recommend staying at this villa. Sao Miguel is breathtaking. Thanks for the memories

The property was very clean, cozy and exactly as advertised. Jose was very responsive to all emails and flexible with our checkin/checkout times. The house is walking distance to 3 restaurants. We enjoyed two meals at Joseph's beach bar/restaurant Praia Moinhos. It is literally steps from the house and located on the beach. Our weather was rough but, Jose has a fireplace and everything we needed to build a cozy fire and play cards with our grandsons. I would love to stay here again during the Summer months and enjoy all of the decks of the house and more time of the beautiful beach.

The accommodation, the host, and the location were all fantastic! The accommodation was spacious and very clean. Everything we needed for a week long stay was there, including all we needed to cook for a family of 5. The bedrooms and beds were excellent. There is a large kitchen and dining area. The deck overlooking the cliffs and ocean was wonderful! The host met us and showed us around the accommodation and answered any questions we had. They had fruit, and local crackers and jam for us to enjoy. They promptly responded to all emails. The location is perfect for exploring all parts of the island, and is minutes from the most beautiful place to see the sun set each night. This is a perfect place to stay - we loved it!

10/10

We picked this rental from the pictures of its locale, the pictures and description of the rental itself and the previous renter reviews. We were not disappointed. The home was very clean, comfortably furnished, completely equipped and ideally located. The ocean view from the first floor and second floor terraces was breathtaking. We were about five minutes walk from a large sandy beach with terrific wave and surf activity. The soothing sound of the surf was audible all day and night. Hiking trails of varying lengths and difficulty were walking distance away and provided spectacular hillside and ocean views. Our host was most hospitable. This was our first overseas rental and our host's warm and pleasant manner, his attention to our needs and the ease of contact with him added to a wonderful vacation experience.

Centrally located holiday home on Saõ Miguel that offers so much. Only 25 minutes from the airport. We had the pleasure of staying at the Martin Family home over the Christmas holidays, December 20-29, 2018. We were a family of 6 and there was lots of space for all. José met us at the house the morning of our arrival and provided a thorough tour about the house. The Martin family had the dining table dressed with a lovely Christmas table cloth and centrepiece for our Christmas away from home (Canada) and left us a wonderful gift basket with local treats - a really nice and unexpected gesture. The house was perfect for our stay - centrally located, large, fully equipped, outdoor grill, fireplace and wood, washing machine, tv, internet, dishwasher (appreciated) and balconies with seating to enjoy the view and take in the fresh air. We could not have asked for a nicer home and really did appreciate all the Martin family offered us during our first ever Christmas away from home. Highly recommend and we will return again soon. Thank you Martin Family for letting us stay in your wonderful home.

The view from the deck was awesome. We walked down the hill to the beach every day. Some days the waves were beauties. We bought boogie boards and left them there. Try them out. The walking trails in the neighborhood are fantastic. Check out the waterfall and the cliff platform overlooking the beach. We went to the cliffs after dark and the stars are amazing. An added bonus was even though other parts of the island were gloomy and raining our side of the island was usually sunny..especially in the afternoon. It does not get dark until almost 10PM. Everyone was super nice in the neighborhood and at the beach bar the chickens will keep you entertained while you sip you your Super Boch’s. It is a quick ride to the city or Furnas. So many fun things to do on the island. I highly recommend canyoneering. We all shed a tear when we rolled down the hill on our last day. We will be back!

The views from this property are stunning and the little beach at the bottom of the hill is perfect for a quick dip. Excellent location and very quiet. Parking in front of the door. Comfortable, spacious house with all amenities. Highly recommended.
