General Overview
If you dream of discovering the real Búzios, far from mass tourism and close to its Brazilian soul, our home is for you.
We are located in Praia Gorda, one of the most traditional fishing coves in Búzios, where life follows the rhythm of the sea and music.
The house is right on the water, in a quiet, safe, and family-friendly area all year round.
From here you can walk along natural trails, practice kite surfing, explore the Mangue de Pedra ecological corridor, spot free sea turtles, or simply relax in a hammock at sunset.
Ideal for those seeking:
Genuine connection with local culture
Calm, warm waters without waves
A bohemian, laid-back atmosphere
Living nature and authentic experiences
A simple, cozy, and very safe lifestyle
The house comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests, with a fully equipped kitchen and everything you need to live like a local.
Distances:
Búzios downtown (Rua das Pedras): 11 km
Praia de Geribá: 7 km
Praia da Ferradura: 12 km
Cabo Frio: 25 km
Unamar: 15 km
Local markets, restaurants, and a playground are just steps away.
Here you won’t find big hotels or crowds. Instead, you’ll enjoy simple people, golden sunrises, afternoons of beach soccer, and nights with live forró or samba under the stars.
We invite you to experience Búzios like a local, in the heart of its history and nature.
What you’ll love about the neighborhood
Praia Gorda, Búzios
Praia Gorda is one of Búzios’ best-kept secrets.
A traditional fishing neighborhood, where the sea and simple living set the rhythm of each day.
Here you’ll find a family-friendly, safe, and authentic atmosphere, where children play in the seaside square, fishermen sell their fresh catch, and it’s not unusual to hear live Brazilian music on the beach as the sun goes down.
The neighborhood keeps the original buziana soul: away from tourist crowds, but deeply connected to the essence of Búzios.
From our home, you can explore the Mangue de Pedra ecological corridor, a unique ecosystem, and reach the Praça Quilombola, which honors the Afro-Brazilian roots of the region.
In Praia Gorda you’ll find:
Calm, safe beaches without waves – perfect for families and sports like kite surfing.
Local markets, small restaurants, and shops just steps away.
Direct connection with nature: mangroves, trails, and wide-open sea views.
Easy access to Búzios center if you’d like to explore (public transport available).
