Wish we could have stayed longer
Our stay at Paradise Beach House was fantastic and exceeded all our expectations. It all started with great communication with the owner and the property management. They were able to answer all our questions before and during the trip in a timely fashion. We (me, wife and 2 kids) arrived around 8pm christmas day and Tribos had someone at the house to let us in, give us a tour and provide us keys. This person also helped us with our bags and parking, which is across the river in town (very convenient). Tribos also called restaurants for us as we drove up from Salvador airport to find out what was open on xmas night. The property is more beautiful than the pictures. It was all lit up when we arrived and provided a great welcome. The tower is a great feature and allows for a great view of the ocean in one direction and the tree tops of Imbassai in the other. The location is superb with easy beach access right next to the house. Once on the beach, one direction are 4 great barracas and the other is the river's end. There are daytime dining option right next to the house and daytime/evening options right across the river, up the river and a short walk up the main street through town. Imbassai is a fantastic, small beach town that felt shared by tourists and locals alike. Did not feel overrun or crowded. It was very tranquil and easy to relax. It was a great place to spend time and use as a home base for day trips to Praia do Forte, Salvador and other great nearby beaches. We had the benefit of our stay (downstairs) overlapping with the stay of the owner (upstairs). He provided us with great tips about where to go and best ways to get there. We also appreciated the mid-stay cleaning he offered us. Very gracious. We had no issues with the property. Plumbing, washing machine, internet and kitchen all worked well. Place is so well decorated. Also appreciated the water and fruit that awaited us. Great verandas and sitting areas. The only problem was being conflicted about maximizing our time at such a great house or going to the beach and seeing the sights. I guess not a bad problem to have...hope to visit again soon. Thank you for being great hosts.
