General overview
This is our holiday home, where we come a few times a year to relax and unwind. We are literally just steps away from the beach and can hear the ocean at night when we leave windows open.
The space
Our home has two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and another small one with a bunk bed. It can accommodate a couple or a family with children. The house has three floors: on the first, you will find the bedrooms and the bathroom, on the second floor is the open kitchen overlooking the ocean and the living area, and finally on the last floor is the roof-top terrace with breathtaking view over the ocean and Sesimbra's castle.
Guest access
Our home is made of many stairs and kids should be extra careful when handling them.
Notes
Sesimbra is best enjoyed off season. July and August can be very busy with many Portuguese holiday makers who come to Sesimbra to enjoy the beach.
We are actively looking for globes. Our calendar is up to date!

We had a wonderful week by the ocean. Caroline's apartment is spacious, comfortable and just simply beautiful! The view is incredible, I kept standing in front of the kitchen window! There are great restaurants and cafes within a short walking distance, and we could also buy a variety of delicacies at the nearby market. We traveled a lot. There are countless sights and attractions in the area. We loved Sesimbra, thank you Caroline! -
We very much enjoyed our stay in this cozy beach apartment. The owners accepted our PLU globe in exchange for our stay here. The weather was perfect the entire time we were here. We walked the beach, visited the fort and relaxed! Although the kitchen was fully equipped, we ate out most meals as there was such a variety of restaurants in walking distance. The local grocery store was just around the corner too. Caroline was good with communicating with us and someone was there when we arrived to give us the key to the apartment. We would recommend this condo to anyone interested. -
Caroline's house is a perfect hideaway in Sesimbra, being right in the centre of the pretry village and at the seaside and with their marvellous roof terrace overlooking the sea....The house is very pleasant and functional and clean and it even has a truly fabulous restaurant directly across the street :-) Our boys took some very good surfing lessons at the Sesimbra surf school, which ghey loved. The communication with Caroline was great and accurate and very smooth, like talking to someone you know very well. We would recommend an exchange with Caroline and her family to anyone! -
Caroline's accommodation in Sesimbra is superb. Located in the old part of Sesimbra with an extraordinary view of the sea and the beaches. The terrace is magnificent. The materials are very recent and of good quality. It is at the heart of the life of this tourist resort -
We had an absolutely wonderfull time in Caroliens appartment in Sesimbra. We stayed there for a globe. The home is perfect for a family with two adults and two kids/teenagers. The ocean is litteraly around the corner and the view from the roof terrasse is absolutely stunning. Sesimbra is very charming . It has a great becah, nice restaurants, an ancient castle and a great indoor market for fresh fish and vegetables - and most tourists there seem to be from Portugal. Carolines home has the perfect location in the middle of this little vibrant town. It is located very centrally in Sesimbra and we loved listening to the waves combined with the pulse of Sesimbra through open windows at night. To sit at the roof terrasse sipping wine and watch the sun go down and people leaving the beach will be treasured memories. The appartment has everything you need to prepare meals at home and there are becahtowels, and some other practical things to bring to the beach, a great bbq and lots of room enjoy your stay inside or outside. It is very airy and tastefully decorated. Great coffee is only about 100 meters away. We really, really hope that we can come back one day. -
We loved Caroline’s Sesimbra condo - imagine sitting at the large kitchen window with the windows wide open and watching and listening to the ocean every morning! Her place is clean and very comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing stay (including kids beach toys!). They are right across the street from the beach so if your family loves the ocean, this is the place for you! Caroline was so flexible with us, we had been in touch a month prior but she was happy to exchange with our dates at the very last minute. We loved the area so much that although we did rent a car to drive down to the Algarve, you wouldn’t need one as her place is walking distance to cafes, a small grocery store and 10 seconds away from the most delicious gelato! A truly special place that we will never forget. Thank you Caroline for your generosity. -
We had the best stay in Caroline’s beautiful home. The house is only a few steps from the beach and in a very pretty traditional area of cobbled streets and tiled houses! The house is so well laid out and has everything you need. The sun trap roof terrace is the icing on the cake! We spent so much time there. The views are magnificent. Sesimbra is a little gem. There are lots of restaurants, an amazing beach and do much to do in the area. You don’t need a car in Sesimbra itself but it’s useful to explore the surrounding countryside and places of interest. There is a lot to see! If you ever have the chance to exchange with Caroline, don’t hesitate! We would love to go back again and hope it’s possible one day. Thank you Caroline and family for sharing your home with us! -
We had a wonderful time in Sesimbra! The home is in the perfect location, truly steps from the beach. Though you are in the middle of everything, it's pretty quiet for the most part. We had a lovely time exploring the town, which was fantastic.
