Shearwaters - Sounds of the sea

Pros: We’ve had the most amazing stay at Shearwaters- Sounds of the sea. Apartment was equipped with everything we needed, everything was as described and the balcony with the sea view was our absolute favourite. It was a very easy self check in as there is a keypad and the owner sent very clear directions about the access to the property. We could not be happier with our decision to stay there. The owner was incredibly helpful and kind, truly easy to reach out to and all of her recommendations for Madeira were excellent and much appreciated. Thank you for everything!! Can’t wait to go back!

Awesome apartment, we highly recommend

Pros: Great views, very well equipped apartment and the location is perfect.

Cons: Neighbours partying until late. But this is not the owners fault. However, I would advise the owners to talk to the front neighbour about the noise.

Pros: Everything was perfect! Maria is the best host we ever had. She sent me all needed information on whatsapp, she explained everything detailed. Always ready to answer. The location is beautiful. The apartment is close to Praia Formosa beach, the bus stop is in front of the building, and the grocery shop is near too.

Pros: Excellent contact with the owner, helpful and friendly in every situation. Apartment clean and perfectly equipped. Very good location close to the beach, market (with good prices), swimming pool in the facility, quiet area, excellent public transport especially to the center. I really recommend.

Great experience!

Pros: Waking up everyday to the sounds of the sea was amazing. The apartment has everything you might need and Maria was a very welcoming host. Her tips about restaurants and places of interest were very helpful. We had a perfect holiday at Sharewaters and we highly recommend it, especially if you prefer more quiet neighbourhood than a strict city center!

Pros: I highly recommend this apartment which has a balcony where you can eat meals with a stunning view on the ocean and a fabulous cliff. Mrs Maria is a very kind and helpful person who gave us a lot of useful information about Madeira.

Easily accessible owner; very helpful always.

Pros: Balcony with sunset views, Bus stop at the door; grocery store across the street

Cons: The neighbours arguing

Pros: The location is amazing! You're a close bus ride to the city centre, but not in the noise and chaos of downtown. Restaurants are far less expensive outside of the old town area, and there is a great grocery store right across the street. It's an easy (but steep, of course) walk to the promenade and about 40-45min to Camara de Lobos, a great place to visit outside of Funchal.

Cons: Not much!

Pros: Apartment has an excellent view to the ocean, location is super to visit the Island with bus station just in front of the house. We could park in the closed garden. Our host was one of the best host we ever met, she sent really useful information, we could easily contact her with every question. A really good place to sit on the balcony and listening the voice of the ocean. If you are looking for something cozy, not luxurious accommodation, this apartment is very good value for money.

Pros: Very nice independent apartment with a balcony and a wonderful view of the ocean. Very well connected to the airport and the center of Funchal. Nearby there is a walking promenade by the ocean, a pebble beach, a shop and several restaurants. Quiet neighborhood. The owner of the facility is very nice and sent a lot of useful information.
