About this property

A dream home in Galicia, by the sea.

The house is one of the oldest in the area. Its construction dates back to the 50s, although it is fully rehabilitated in 2013. It is located at the foot of the beach and one kilometer from the urban center of Boiro. The farm, which has an area of about 850 square meters, borders to the north with a mall / garden and to the south with the Barraña promenade and with a beach of the same name. Therefore, it has at its rear a private garden with direct access to the promenade and Barraña beach. It is a very quiet area, almost exclusive use, ideal to relax and enjoy the calm of the sea in a very cozy environment.
The house can accommodate six people with comfort and their rooms are distributed in 150 square meters of living space with a terrace of 40 square meters. On the first floor a large space with sea views is organized that includes a dining room and kitchen. A bathroom, two single rooms and a double room with bathroom and balcony included, in addition to a large terrace overlooking the sea and the mall, complete the plant. On the upper floor there is a living-study room and a double room with a bathroom very suitable for children.

Perfect Beach Get-Away

Relax on the Beach. This is a charming beach home with all the amenities to enjoy a peaceful experience of living on the beach. Our hosts were very nice and accommodating, addressing any questions we had. Wonderful views from the main living area to the water, and from the backyard you literally step onto the beach where you can either go for a bike ride on the bike path, stroll along the boardwalk, take a chair out under the pine trees, or walk out to the sand. The garage was filled with items to enhance our experience--bikes, beach chairs, and games for all. We enjoyed lovely breakfasts on the terrace looking out to the ocean, and from a couple of the rooms facing the front of the house you could also go out on a balcony that looks out at the front yard and the little park that runs along the street. 2nd floor attic level includes the 4th bedroom with twin beds whose bathroom shower is only appropriate for small children. Very private with locked front and rear pedestrian gates, as well as remotes for driveway and garden larger gates. Truly a lovely experience for the whole family.

Extraordinario/ Hervorragend

Wir danken Luis und seiner Frau sehr für die liebevolle und aufmerksame Betreuung in ihrem herrlichen Haus. Das Haus liegt in einem großen schönen Grundstück parallel zur Küstenpromenade. Das Gartentor hinter dem Haus ermöglichte den direkten Zugang zur Promenade. Das war klasse, weil man nur ein paar Schritte brauchte, um zum Strand zu gelangen. Alles war in gutem Zustand und gepflegt. Die Badezimmer waren alle vorbildlich sauber und auch Waschmaschine und Trockner waren sauber und in gutem Zustand, was für uns sehr wichtig war. Die Garage war sehr geräumig. Und die Fahrräder waren alle in sehr gutem Zustand. Was braucht man mehr?! Von Luis und Olga kann man nur positives sagen. Sie waren immer hilfsbereit und jederzeit erreichbar. Hatten ausführliche Material über die Stadt und die Umgebung. Wir sind vollkommen zufrieden und haben einen tollen Urlaub verbracht. Wir kommen sicher wieder!

Beautiful House, Amazing Hosts, Great Location!

My family of five (teenager and two small kids) wanted it all. Beach, mountains, close to cities and culture but also to stay in a small quiet place away from it all. This house offered everything. It is right on a gorgeous beach that is clean, calm, great for kids, has a few but not too many restaurants and cafes and is quiet and good for families. The house sits on a quiet street with other similarly restored lovely homes. The house itself is a fantastic house that perfectly incorporates character and traditional stone work with all of the modern amenities and comforts. Everything was spotless. The kitchen thoughtfully stocked. The bathrooms well lit and with great water pressure and hot water. The beds were so comfortable and the place was beautifully decorated. My kids loved the fast wifi and the Sat TV channels after a long day of sightseeing. The garden is wonderful, green and lush but no bugs or mud. The house is a 100 meters from a small and friendly shop where we picked up some basics but you can walk into the downtown for more serious shopping. Parking was easy in the secured gated area and the neighborhood was safe and no noise or bright lights. The location is excellent to travel around Galicia. The hosts literally treated us like family. Even though we arrived late, they were accommodating. No surprises or miscommunication. Great English and so helpful in explaining anything we had questions about in the house. They were available when we needed them but didn't hover or stop by unannounced. Truly an exceptional VRBO experience. We couldn't have been happier!

una casa muy descansada

Esta una verdadera casa a la orilla del mar, muy cerca de la playa y de las tiendas. La casa es muy guapa con un interio pratica: buen equipada. El acogida del propietario es muy agradable. Pocos comentarios: - Una secunda llave estaria necesaria, tanto mas la porta se cera solo. - El regar comenza demasido temprano.

Wonderful house, friendly owners

We had a wonderful stay in this house just steps away from Baraña Beach in Boiro. The first and second level of the house have been completely renovated with high quality materials, the ground floor was not yet renovated (and not used) when we stayed here. There is ample of space for a (large) family with kids. It was unusally hot in Galicia during our holidays, but the temperature in the house was always pleasant, even without airco. Everything you need is in the house (bed linnen, ample towels, kitchen tools, ..) The views of the sea from the living room on the first floor, and the adjacent terrace are just beautiful. We actually ended up not making much use of the large and pleasant garden, the terrace was great for breakfast and meals, and the beach and the sea were literally just outside the back door of the garden. The owners Luis and Olga were extremely helpful, also providing us with with everything we needed for our toddler (cot, high chair, buggy, bike seat, etc) so we could travel light. A bakery is just around the corner, Boiro has a few nice restaurants, and the center of Boiro is biking distance, the bikes came in very handy. Adorable place, recommended for a quiet holiday with your family !

We highly recommend this property.

We had a fantastic stay at Luis and Olga's house by the beach in Boiro. The house itself is lovely (and clean and comfortable) with great views from the living room and terrace of the coast. In addition, the owners, Luis and Olga, could not have been more accommodating - they did everything possible to make sure we had a good holiday. We also very much enjoyed the area, from eating out locally (fantastic seafood at a number of restaurants round the corner from the house) to a number of walks and bike rides along the promenade at the back of the house. We have a small child and Olga and Luis made sure we had everything we needed - cot, high-chair and even a baby-seat for the bike. We highly recommend this house to anyone wanting to visit Galicia.

Magnifica casa

Nuestra experiencia en la casa BBB de Boiro ha sido extraordinaria. Somos una familia con tres hijos pequeños y la casa es ideal para ello. Su ubicación es fantástica, justo frente al mar, y su jardín, encantador. Además, muy bien comunicada con otras poblaciones para hacer excursiones, turismo de ciudad, y múltiples opciones. La casa por dentro está muy bien equipada, muy nueva y no echas de menos nada, esta todo cuidado con mucho detalle. Por último, la atención de los dueños muy buena. Olga nos llamó en varias ocasiones para interesarse por como estábamos y si necesitábamos algo. Es una magnifica opción de vacaciones que recomendamos
