Wooden house on a lake with beach & playground (opt. rental car)

Cosy, isolated wooden house for relaxing holidays in the Algarve, on a very large, secluded private lakeside property, south-west facing, with lake views, WiFi, large smart TV, fireplace, outdoor shower & lovely terrace with sunset views.
Due to the good insulation, it is about 10° cooler inside the house in summer than outside.
This eliminates the need for air conditioning.
The entire house is equipped with mosquito protection, although we hardly have any mosquitoes here. In addition, the entire terrace area can be transformed into a cozy conservatory with sun, wind and rain protection.

We are approximately 20km north of Albufeira and have our own large beach with exclusive sea access.

Absolutely quiet location in the midst of nature in southern Portugal.
No traffic, no planes, no tourists - but sunny southern exposure
with lake view, lake use and a fantastic starry sky.
Milky Way Guarantee ;o)
Fishing and swimming in the lake is a matter of course.

We have nothing against pets, however we do not want larger animals in this exclusive property itself. A spacious kennel is available next to the wooden house.

The equipment includes:
A living room with a fireplace, 2 bedrooms with a sink and each sleeping up to 3 people, kitchen, bathroom with shower and toilet, a spacious terrace with BBQ and terrace heating (in winter) and an outdoor shower.

The living space is furnished with a 5 seater corner couch, coffee table, chest of drawers, stool, shelf, mirror, Smart TV - Astra & Portuguese TV, DVD player & a new 15Kg pellet fireplace.

The bedroom on the left has a sink with mirror cabinet and can (!) be equipped with 3 possible options:
- a lower KingSize double bed 200cmx180cm and an upper single bed
with 200cmx90cm or (as desired)
- two lower single beds each 200cmx90cm (separated) and one
upper single bed with 200cmx90cm or (!) also as
!
- Children's room (+ one-time fee of 100€ for assembly and dismantling!)
below completely without beds, but with children's kitchen, stools, children's table, space
for toys etc. - and an upper single bed with 200cmx90cm (bunk bed)
When converting to a children's room, the minimum rental period is 7 nights!
Children's high chair and additional/travel cot available.

---

The right bedroom has a lower double bed 200cmx140cm and an upper single bed 200cmx90cm.
In addition, it has a sink with a mirrored cabinet and, if required, a computer desk with a chair and lamp, or just a small, chic bedside table with a lamp.
Both bedrooms can be completely darkened with an external sunscreen (for "sleeping in late").

The kitchen has a 4-burner stove, large fridge with freezer, sink, professional coffee machine, oven, kettle, toaster, egg cooker, orange squeezer, spacious work surfaces and plenty of shelves.

On the terrace there is a large table with 8 chairs, a BBQ with gas (incl.) and a patio heater in winter with gas (this is charged separately).

Linen, towels and gas for shower and stove are also included for normal operation.

Our large playground for children with a large trampoline, "tree house", slide, 2 swings, sand box and lots of beach sand is right in front of the door, with a good distance to the bungalow (second rental property) about 100m away.

There are 2 kayaks available that can be used free of charge, including seats, life jackets and paddles.

If the bungalow is rented at the same time, the playground, kayaks and beach are available to both renting parties. Agreements among each other allow individual use. I'm happy to help.

We have a great solar boat with which you can navigate and discover the reservoir with up to 4 people (+1 child). It has 2 speeds, a table with 4 cup holders, Bose sound box with BT, horn, light and anchor.
When the sun is out you can ride without a time limit. 50€ daily rent (250€ deposit).

You can also rent our stylish white Ford Focus Diesel with personal airport transfer. Please ask for availability and the current price. Currently 50€ daily rent & 500€ deposit, incl. insurance, kilometers and if necessary. child seats.
Pick-up from the airport including a shopping stop at the supermarket plus a return trip to your departure is available for 90€.

Your care is provided on site directly by the landlord.

We have a 5-year-old, very well-behaved, child-, dog- and cat-friendly Boerboel bitch, running free on the property, which, despite repeated requests, is not allowed to be taken with us after the holiday! ;O)

The next larger town is São Bartolomeu de Messines with supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, gas stations etc., less than 10 minutes away by car.
The ocean beach of Albufeira and Armacão de Pera is only about 20km away from Messines. Carvoeiro and Portimão about 25-30km.

55-95€ per day depending on the season
5 days minimum booking duration

250€ deposit for damage to or in the house, the terrace, the kayaks or the facilities on the beach are to be paid upon arrival.

Please note our house rules.

Excellent, will definitely go back!
We had such a brilliant stay, the cabin and location was even better than in the pictures! The host was exceptional, all queries answered quickly, he was so helpful and kind. He collected us from the airport and brought cold drinks with him that was a lovely surprise. He even stopped at the shop for us to pick up a few bits. He was very mindful and respected our privacy. We also loved the hosts attitude about nature and trying to be as sustainable as possible. We rented his car when we needed it and also rented the solar boat from him. We loved to explore the lake on the kayaks and the electric boat. The water was so nice and warm, but great to cool off in after a warm day. We enjoyed a bottle of wine down at the beach most evenings and loved the tranquility of the location. We could not fault one single thing and would recommend this place to anyone. The outstanding beauty of the location and the hosts phenomenal service have ensured that this is now our favourite place to be in Portugal. I can go on for hours, but it was an experience I will never forget and will always be thankful to the host for sharing his little bit of paradise with us! Thank you Jens!

Erholung, Freiheit und Natur pur
Wir haben unseren Urlaub im Blockhaus "irgendwo im Nirgendwo" sehr genossen. Ruhe, Ambiente, hoher Wohlfühlfaktor... es ist einfach alles vorhanden, was man braucht...die Barbecueabende mit dem tollen Grill auf der überdachten Terrasse, die Spaziergänge am Fluss, den morgendlichen Kaffee am Strand und die Autofahrt dorthin haben besonderen Flair. Wolf ist für alles offen und ein toller Gastgeber. Die Betten waren bequem, das Blockhaus lässt keine Wünsche offen. Privatsphäre wird großgeschrieben, was uns super gefiel. Wir hatten auch viel Spaß mit den Besuchen von Bärbel, eine Seele von Hund. Wir können das allen empfehlen, die das Besondere, Ruhe und Natur suchen. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall mal wieder ins Outback, Danke Wolf ;-)

Peaceful place with a caring host
Nice cabin, very friendly & helpful host. Lot's of privacy and a nice sand beach - great for swimming. Cabin could be reach via 5-10 min on dirt-road; but supermarket on 10-15 min drive. One remark - Child-room that is in pictures is not there anymore
