Welcome to our bright, fresh, cozy, comfortable apartment 5 minutes from the beach, and 15 minutes from downtown Lisbon! Our home is brand new, with a spacious kitchen and living areas, fresh clean bathrooms, comfortable bedrooms, and the warmth of home. Our small building is in a beautiful leafy green area, and the walkable neighborhood has everything you want and need, from a gorgeous park with roaming peacocks, to supermarkets, cafes, and the train. Walk or bike to the beach for a surf class or a stroll, or head into Lisbon to explore!
The space
Welcome to our home! You will be staying in our sun drenched three bedroom two bath apartment in Carcavelos.
The apartment itself was newly renovated 2 months ago so everything is in pristine condition. You have a large Sunny kitchen with dishwasher washer dryer oven stove microwave a fully stocked pantry and everything you need to cook. We have a separate dining room off the kitchen and a large bright living room with games books an electric fireplace and lots of cozy seating.
In the apartment you also find three comfortable bedrooms. One has a king size bed, one has a double that pulls out to a queen, and the third has a full size bunk bed. There are also two full bathrooms with showers.
The apartment is clean, fresh, bright, and cozy. We also have very kind and thoughtful neighbors throughout the building.
Guest access
Our home is on the 1st floor (Europe) 2nd floor (USA) - you will climb two small flights of stairs to enter the flat.
Notes
If we do a simultaneous stay, there is a possibility we would be asking our guests to pet sit our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Barley, who is 14 years old, walks 2x a day, and otherwise spends all day sleeping on velvet pillows in the sunshine and cuddling while gently snoring.
We can discuss this when arranging a swap, and it's not necessarily a condition of staying with us - although he is so cute and loveable we have had friends ask to borrow him for the weekend! :)

Hi there! We are a family of five, who moved from from the US to Portugal in 2018. We homeschool and love spending time together, going on local adventures, spending time at the beach, and seeing friends. Now that our youngest isnt a baby, we can't wait to embark on some exciting travels, which has been our dream for 13 years, and is finally here! We look forward to connecting with you and your family!
