We had a great time by the pool. But didn’t have ocean views from the villa. Thought it would take 5-7 minutes walk to the beach.

We had a fantastic stay in the Algarve with our two young children, my brother and his partner, and my parents. The villa is incredibly spacious—much more than the photos suggest. The gardens are beautiful, and the heated pool was perfect for the little ones.The location is ideal for families—peaceful and away from busy Albufeira, yet restaurants, bars, and beaches are all within walking distance. Praia de Coelha and Praia de Castelo are both stunning and have beachside restaurants we highly recommend.Manfred was an excellent host—quick to respond and very helpful. It was a lovely surprise to have some essentials waiting for us on arrival and to be treated to local pastries during our stay—thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special.A few small suggestions: our bedroom lacked some furniture—a second bedside table or dressing table would have been useful, and the walls were bare. Also, some additional outdoor furniture like a sofa or coffee table for chilling outside in the evenings and also on the roof terrace would make the most of the view.We did encounter some ants in the bathroom, but we’ve experienced this in other places in Portugal and was manageable with traps and spray.Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely come back!

Upon the occasion of my husbands retirement - our family booked Portugal for vacation and celebrationThis VBRO - owned by Tracy and Manfred is well located a short walk from the beach. Super hosts and very responsive to any questions and needs we had. It was very clean and comfortable - providing all amenities we needed!Grounds and pool well maintained and several excellent restaurants located close by/within walking distance. We enjoyed several walks along the trail systems on the cliffs beside the ocean close by Manfred and Tracy dropped warm bread and pastries once a week which was a nice treat!We even were greeted by a local cat - Karl -Otto - who enjoyed spending time with us the cat lovers we are!We would definitely recommend this VBRO and look forward to coming back to Portugal to visit soon!

Thank you to Manfred and Tracey for a lovely stay at the Oasis Villas. Our family spent 10 days here. The villa was exceptionally clean, beautiful, and comfortable. The stocked fridge on arrival and delivery of baked treats was very much appreciated. The pool was wonderful. This was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the surrounding beaches. We hope to be back soon!
