Casa da Beira Mar is a very cozy and typical house with a garden that has a direct access to the sea, located on the north shore of the island. It is only 10 / 15m from the main town (Ponta Delgada) and the largest beach of the north coast, and 5m walking to a complex of natural swimming pools on the sea. It is an eco and family friendly house (equipped with a baby crib and a baby high chair for eating, at your request), ideal for those who look for a joyful stay near the sea and nature.

We enjoyed staying at this property for four nights in early April, 2025. Although our weather was chilly and at times rainy, this property had a warm cozy feel to it. It was ample room for just the two of us and we enjoyed using the woodstove nightly and an ample supply of firewood was available. Joana, the owner welcomed us with a nice gift of fruit, bread and jam. One issue with the washing machine, was quickly resolved by a simple call to her.A walking trail borders the back of the property and separates it from the cliffs to the ocean. A great place for walking!
Wir sind das 3. Mal auf São Miguel gewesen und uns hat es wieder einmal umgehauen, wie grün, erfrischend und erholsam die Insel ist. Das Haus hat eine tolle Lage und ist gut ausgestattet.
Backyard with gorgeous sea view and access. Charming home, tastefully decorated. Accommodating and helpful host. Comfortable beds. You could not do better!
All was as advertised - quaint, cozy, clean, good location, super backyard and views, handing parking for 1 car. Spacious for a couple or 2. If you like cats, there are a few that like to hang out in the backyard.
Our stay was so lovely! We really enjoyed how close the house was to the water- we walked to the natural pool every day, made friends with the locals, and enjoyed exploring nearby attractions. The house itself is old and charming with modern conveniences that make it very comfortable. Joana was a very helpful host and always accommodated any questions I had. We will be back!
We enjoyed our stay. Joana was very helpful and responsive with all of our questions. The cottage has a garden with access directly to a wonderful cliff walk along the ocean. The only caution I would give is that to get here you have to drive down a very narrow, steep street.
The house is located in a quiet street by the sea.
It is a 10-minute walk to the public bathing area.
The house is nicely furnished with almost everything you need.
I particularly liked the sea view from the upper bedroom and the open design of the living area, dining area and kitchen.
In addition, very nice and helpful contact with the owner.
My husband and I stayed at this charming house while vacationing in the Azores. We had everything we needed there including a washing machine. The host was very sweet and helpful. Just a text away. She responds quickly. It’s in a good central location of the island.
We very, very much enjoyed the stay in Sao Vicente Ferreiro. A car is necessary, but you'll need it anyway for exploring the island.
Joanas house is lovely; we felt home every time we arrived back from an excursion. Though many houses in the area are being built contempory now, a typical Azores house is what you come for to these islands. Inside, it is tastefully and mindfully restaured -old features combine well with modern and practical aspects. It is larger than the impression from the fotos in the internet. Worked well for four adults. Well equipped with towels and sheets. Very nice collection of photo books about the Azores and some very helpful hiking guides. Washer and dryer make life easy. We missed one or the other kitchen gadget, but this was not important. The outside towards the ocean is nice. Great sunset views behind the west of the island. The street was a few time a bit loud. Hope the surroundings will stay and this beautiful house will not be built-in between modern places. Supermarkets easy to reach. We thought it was a great loacation for all excursions on the island. Will return in case we return to Sao Miguel.
This was a great stay in Joana's house. The house is very cosy, directly on the Ocean with a fantastic garden. It was very comfortable for us.
No negative Point at all! Will definetly come back!!
Thank you so much Joana for the friendly and fast communication. And also for the items for our first breakfast!
We loved our stay in Casa da Beira Mar! an updated and charming fisherman's cottage with all of its original charm!
The sound of the ocean filled our two week stay, and the changing colours of the ocean and sky were a delight. We fully expected to spend a great deal of time "at home" on this trip because of rain, etc but we totally lucked out on the weather! it was beautiful most days!
we did take full advantage of the home's cozy ambiance with a fire most evenings!
Joana was a delight to deal with and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and convenient.
one thing does make me a bit sad , however was to see how many of the lovely old cottages were being torn down to make modern, gated, closed off edifices!
Enjoyed the quiet, the slow pace, and most of all the landscape! such a beautiful place!
We stayed in Joana’s lovely seaside home on the north coast of Sao Miguel for 6 nights in May. The photos show the property accurately, and the back yard with access to the sea is amazing. The location is fairly central for island exploring, but not in the center of Ponta Delgada - just the right mix for us. With our car rental, it was easy to get to grocery shopping and restaurants. Communication with Joana was easy, and there was a good information book provided.

Beutiful house and great walkway along the ocean
Beautiful house. We really enjoyed the layout and loft area. Well equipped with everything you might need and some wonderful little welcome food/gifts. Loved the back walk to the shoreline and cliffs.

Haus in toller Lage
Wir haben zweieinhalb Wochen in Joanas schönem Haus verbracht. Perfekte Lage, 15 Minuten mit dem Auto nach Ponta Delgada, 20 Minuten zum Flughafen, gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in Capelas. Uneinsehbare Terrasse, Garten bis zum Meer zum Wellengucken. Küstenwanderweg führt am Haus vorbei, in der Nähe fußläufig Meeresnaturbecken. Gutes W-Lan im Haus (ist für manche ja wichtig). Gute Wegbeschreibung und Betreuung durch Joana. Bei Fragen antwortet sie innerhalb kurzer Zeit per Mail. Keine Fragen: Wir würden das Haus wieder buchen. (Bitte nicht weitersagen, sonst ist das Haus immer ausgebucht ;-))

Classy, clean, sleek and modern but with touches of yesteryear.
Well maintained and with a stunning view of the ocean with it's own walled in back yard. Cozy and near some natural ocean pools to swim in. We loved every minute of our stay and Joana gave us some great tips.

Perfect traditionell location by the sea - ideal to discover the island
The former fisher house was transformed in a wonderfully home for travellers. It is nicely furbished in a relaxing surfer-style and well equipped with all you need. We loved the stunning sea view, when we opened the little blue garden-door every morning. Quickly and friendly communication with owner Joana. We highly recommend the location. The next bathing opportunity is 500 metres away. The villages nearby, first of all Capelas and the city of Ribera Grande (with its marvellous beach Santa Barbara in 8 km distance) are nice and worth a visit. We would come again.
