We’ve rented many vacation homes, and this one truly stands out. The décor is stylish yet geared toward relaxation and fun. It is the perfect home for a large family or group vacation, with a layout ideal for indoor/outdoor living and a variety of areas for everyone to spread out. Our family loves to cook, and we are often disappointed with poorly appointed kitchens in vacation homes, but not so with this one. The open-plan kitchen was stocked with everything we could hope for, plus plenty of counter space to accommodate multiple guests grabbing a bite or working together on a group meal. The oversized dining table was perfection. We loved lounging in and around the pool, enjoying the blissful coastal breezes. The teenagers in our group especially appreciated the media/lounging room.
Aside from the home itself, the neighborhood and nearby Ericeira are fantastic. Several great surf areas and beach clubs are nearby, and also many walking and biking trails. The oceanside village of Ericeira is truly charming and one of our favorites in Portugal. There are many good restaurants up and down the coast and various good grocery stores.
I have only great things to say about the house, the homeowner, and the local manager of the house. The owner and manager could not have been more excellent or more helpful. I hope to return to the Long Barn and Ericeira again!
