Northern Secret by Homie

The view was nice, however depending on where you were standing you could also see the mess of the yard as part of the “view”

The house had an overwhelming amount of bugs and lizards everywhere inside including kitchen sink and benches, dirty toilet paper, (which they said was recycled not dirty, however scraping recycled toilet paper does not reveal a white layer underneath as per the photos) poor plumbing and flooded twice (upstairs bathroom & kitchen) The downstairs was musty with no airflow or aircon, and despite being “private,” people regularly walked through the property to access gardens, which made us feel uneasy with small children. The host was dismissive and unhelpful and overall, we were very unhappy with the cleanliness and management of the property. Note: If you or your children are allergic to cats, there is a stray on the property which became a nuisance wanting to constantly come inside and be fed. Someone came onto the property to feed the cat during our stay also. Property definitely needs maintenance & adjustments to benefit future guests. I would steer clear or ensure these things have been “fixed” before booking.

This place is incredible!!! The views from the house are unsurpassed! The home is very cozy and well equipped. The location was perfect for us. It’s on the ocean with a waterfall across the street! The home is between Porto Delgado and Sao Vincente, so you can grab some wine or food in a short drive. The neighbor who owns the below garden was so nice and gave us some fresh bananas, mangoes, papayas from his garden. There’s a beautiful and very sweet cat that lives outside. He will let you hold him all day. We loved the upper deck area where we’d watch the ocean enjoying a bottle of wine and hold the kitty. Your hosts at Madeira Sun, specifically Claudia and Marta are so nice and very responsive. Excellent communication! We highly recommend staying here and hope to return to this magnificent island!
