Rental Retreats is a specialist property marketing agency for owners with villas, apartments, chalets and other unique and unusual holiday homes across Europe. We work closely with property owners and guests, revealing special places that guests are going to love to borrow for a while. Through speaking 4 languages between us ...and because we're a nice bunch of people, guests and owners get superb service from us and feel at ease all the way through. If you're a guest don't be afraid. We were established in 2008 in the UK and we became a UK Limited company in February 2015. We only take on properties if we believe they are to the best possible standard and we work closely with the local property managers who meet you on-site or close by. This makes sure your experience is seamless. I am English and my name is Antony Masters, the owner of Rental Retreats. I also own holiday rental properties myself in the UK (Glasgow) and Portugal (Sao Martinho Do Porto and Nazare).

Please note that there is an extra charge for arrivals after 22:00h, contact us for more information.

São Martinho is a beautiful small village, with a shell shaped bay. Due to its particular shape, the bay is the ideal beach for families with small children, as the strong sea current characteristic of the Atlantic ocean is not present here. Throughout the sea front there are lovely restaurants, where you can delight yourself with delicious Portuguese food, nice cafés and bars. Just a stroll away along the coast line and you'll find Salir do Porto River beach, which has the river streaming to the ocean and is also perfect for families due to its calm waters. São Martinho do Porto's beautiful beach, just a short walk away, is perfect for sun lovers and water sports fans. Whether you prefer lounging on the sand or trying activities like jet skiing, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding, the beach offers a fantastic range of things to do. Explore nearby towns beyond São Martinho do Porto to enhance your Portuguese adventure. Visit Nazaré for its famous giant waves and charming streets, or go to Alcobaça to admire the stunning monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The historic town of Óbidos, with its medieval charm, is also easy to reach.
