Craking place to stay

A lovely apartment.
Great facilities - spacious rooms and good kitchen with everything you would need - dishwasher, washing machine etc.
It's a bit of a shame that it's not walking distance to a beach, but it has got a good swimming pool.
The underground parking is not particularly suitable for any vehicle larger than a small fiesta, punto, corsa etc. I would imagine it would be pretty hectic under there when it is busy.
We were a group of six who stayed in early/mid June and there were only another four apartments that were occupied. A lot of the time we had the pool and gardens to ourselves. There wasn't a BBQ, but we bought one in the local supermarket and have left it in the garage for future visitors.
Technically, the apartment does sleep six people, but we were a group of three couples and the top floor room only had a single bed and a half size sofa bed. Normally we'd just push them together, but they were at different heights - we ended up sleeping on a loose arrangement of mattresses on the floor.
We were a mix of surfers and non-surfers (surfers and their non-surfing wives). We mainly surfed Supertubes near Peniche and the left at Consolocao. We did surf Areia Branca, but the winds were always quite strong and from the North - even at dawn.
I would recommend this apartment to my friends and family. If anyone was to come here I would say to visit Obidos and Ericeira - both lovely little towns with cobbled streets and nice cafes to people watch.
Nice and easy rental - no hassles from the owner and the local representative had good english.
Thanks for letting us stay at your apartment.
Owner's Response: You can actually walk to the beach. There is a path to the side of the tennis courts and also a lane behind the house which leads to the beach - a choice of two! I agree with the beds on the top floor and we are changing these this year with the introduction of a further bed. The car parking is good, very tight to stop those wanting to speed and there is a garage for everyone to use. I have been to the house with an estate car which does fit. There is also parking to the lefthand side of the access drive upin entry int the gates for those with people carriers.
Definitley visit Obidos, lovely town. Dont forget the surfing competition at Supetubos this October.
