Sunny apartment, just a 15 min.walk to the sea

Rated on: 29.09.2024 Length of stay: 3 months

Barry is very nice and very attentive to our needs. The apartment has a nice location, is well-equipped and is very bright with sunlight. A supermarket is very convenient to this location. The only issue we had is that the ceilings are low in places. This can lead to a lot of head bumping until you get used to it. Overall, we rate this apartment and landlord very highly.

Neighborhood
A nice neighborhood with many things nearby. It's not Lisbon, so don't expect a huge variety of shops and businesses, but it is also quieter than Lisbon as well. A supermarket is very conveniently located. There are many buses to the local mall and elsewhere. The train station is about a 20-minute walk. The station is close to the beach. Central Cascais is about 15-mins beyond that. The nearby football stadium can sometimes be a bit noisy, but it's a nice area overall.

Recommended places nearby
Our favorite is the Pingo Doce supermarket next door. We also like the Auchan and Continente which are nearby. The train station will let you travel to downtown Lisbon in about 35-mins.

Sunny apartment, just a 15 min.walk to the sea

I was in this flat for 3 months and I really enjoyed my time there. The Pingo Doce grocery store was within 200 feet of your front door, and it had everything. The surrounding neighborhood is also really nice. You can leave the flat and in a 10–15-minute walk one direction will take you to a working-class neighborhood and restaurants and the other direction can take you to a high-end neighborhood, cafes/restaurants.

It is spotless clean and bright! You may be a bit uncomfortable, in areas of the apartment, if you are maybe over 6 feet tall. The roof slants in certain areas so it takes a bit of getting use to in parts of the apartment but more of a minor inconvenience. Barry, the landlord, is a gem of a gentleman. He will take extra efforts to make you feel welcome and answer any request or questions.
Bonus: You can walk to the beach in 10-15 minutes and the view from the boardwalk is addictive. Also, the soccer stadium is right behind the apartment so going to the games or just watching the activities is exciting.

Neighborhood
Safe, easy to navigate

Recommended places nearby
The Portugues Music Museum, walk a lot in different directions. There really is a ton of really quaint coffee shops, restaurants all within walking distance of the flat but you have to explore to see them.

About me
I’m an experienced rental host with over 5 years managing Airbnb properties in the UK - where I gained “Superhost” status. In partnership with my elder son, we have recently started a property rental business in Estoril, Portugal. We both live in Estoril & are readily available to manage any issues that may arise during a tenancy.
Your hobbies
I’m a retired international banker and I love travelling, meeting people and exploring new places. The stunning coastal scenery of Cascais and Estoril inspires me to walk every day! I really enjoy breathing in the fresh sea air & admiring the ever changing ocean vistas in this beautiful part of the “Portuguese Riviera”. My elder son (JJ) is a keen sportsman who loves cycling, ocean swimming, padel tennis and almost any other sport!
