Awesome location on the shoreline with great views all around. The owner was very quick and attentive to have a problem with the sewage fixed as soon as we had mentioned it. The appartment has all you need: very well equipped and fast wifi.
Other reviewers already mentioned the damp. There’s no way around that with a building right on the shore. Other than that: no complaints! Would recommend staying here to experience something special!

It is a wonderful spacious apartment with a pleasant environment that make you feel like home. The apartment has everything for cooking and for a comfortable stay. Very responsive and attentive host, who organized a very hospitable welcome for us. The house is in a quiet place, you will only hear the sound of the ocean. This is a great place to stay, we will be happy to come back here!

Beautiful apartment with amazing views
Unfortunately the apartment had a distinct basement odor maybe due to the season

Myself and my Dad spent 10 days at this apartment and have no complaints. We were blown away by both Margarita (the agent) and the hosts (Jerry and Cellio). Margarita managed to guide us across the island, over the phone, to the property (with no SatNav!) in the dark! There was complimentary coffee, fruit, cereals and even a bottle of wine.
The pictures do the property justice. It had a fully equipped kitchen, with every utensil you could want, which we cooked 3 meal in. The apartment was beautifully decorated throughout. It really is perched right on the ocean shore. This provided a stunning view in the daytime with the sound of the waves lulling you asleep at night.
unfortunately the fridge broke. The host however (who lives in the upper apartment) rectified this immediately by providing us with the key to the adjoining apartment so we could use that fridge. Cellio also left us a very apologetic letter an bottle of Madeira wine.

Spectacular views. the sea practically laps up against the building. the sound of the waves is very relaxing. Sao Vicente has a couple of supermarkets and restaurants. Comfortable living space and bed and very well equipped. The host kindly provided lots of complimentary local produce on arrival.
The weather on the north of the island is not as good as on the south, the roads are slightly terrifying tob drive - but that's not the fault of the accommodation!!

The welcome basket provided by the host was fabulous with pastries, fresh fruit and wine. The host flew the American flag during my stay and delivered beautiful pie slices as a special surprise to me on Thanksgiving (specifically an American holiday); such a beautiful touch to make me feel comfortable. There was also an informative welcome letter to help us feel more at home. The location could not have been any better. It is right on the ocean with the sound of waves crashing through the day and night. Impeccable views!

It is a great apartment with view on the sea. It is very well equipped, you will find everything what you need including salt, pepper, oil and vinegar. The host is incredibly nice, he welcomes you with some tipical products of Madeira, fresh fruit and pastry! Even during our stay we found some Pastel de Nata and other pastry in front of the door! We have had a very nice time at The Waves and would definitely stay there again! Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves was a really nice experience.
The bed was a bit small

The owners are just awesome, very caring and always ready to help. All the necessary for breakfast when we arrived, great view on the ocean from the window, quiet (except the sound of the waves :) ). Everything is in the apartment which is lovely, well decorated and owned by some very nice and friendly persons. Can only recommend if you stay in the North, you won't regret it !
10.0
By far the best place I'll ever stay in the northern side of Madeira! The hosts are one of the nicest people you can meet, the view is spectacular (you get to see the ocean and some incredible sunsets and sunrises from your bed room), can't wait to come back.
9.0
Sweets, wine and fruits when you arrive and very friendly staff and owners. Kitchen is provided with almost everything you need. Everything is there to have a comfortable and easy stay.
The only thing we missed was a better terrace. Of course there are beaches nearby, but still. Be very careful when crossing the road (the owners will tell you).
A very hard bed (which we don’t like)

The apartment we stayed in was clean and comfortable and a nice walk to town. The Surf Zone is on the way to town, so you can stop and watch surfers on your way to lunch. There is also a walkway along the ocean for half of the walk. The owners were extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome.

The hosts are just amazing! Very friendly and always helpful.
We stayed in one-bedroom apartment and it has everything you need and even more. Everything was very clean and nice.
The location is wonderful! It is a perfect spot to stay with a car if you plan to visit different parts of the island - it takes not more than 1h and 15min to get to the furthest part of the island.
I definitely recommend this place if you don't need a fancy expensive hotel.
I really have nothing to complain about.
The apartment is 2-3 meters away from the water, so humidity is pretty high there. But I think it is the same in any other place on the island, if you want to stay near the shore line.
