Guest comments
We really enjoyed our stay in the villa and would definitely consider booking with Sandyblue again if we come back to the area. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sandyblue to any of our family and friends thinking about going to the Algarve and we have already spoken highly of the villa and Sandyblue. Thanks for the offer of a discount!
The villa is very comfortable and even though there were 8 of us staying there, 2 families, we all thought that the villa was big enough and well laid out so that it felt like we all had enough space. It was great having little extras like the children's toys for the pool and beach and the books and games for the children in the villa. They are the kind of things you don't want to have to bring with you or buy just for your holiday. The area is beautiful and is ideal for families with young children. Neville & Amy

I am Dolpihn watching off the coast of Vilamoura

About the owner
I am a happily married mum of 3 lovely girls & we live here in the Golden Triangle. We moved here when I started my rental company SandyBlue which also kind of started as an accident ! I was privately renting our properties when I realised that it was becoming busier than I could cope with - so I started my own company called 'sandyblue' it reminds me of what we all want on our holidays - sandy beaches and blue skies. I have a fabulous team working for me now and I know that you will enjoy the personal touch that we like to create from the first moment you make contact all the way through to having your holiday here and popping you back home and hoping that you come back to visit us again. Enjoy looking at our fabulous properties and I look forward to meeting you here in the Algarve.

Why the owner chose a home in this location
I have always dreamed of owning a villa in a fantastic established resort. When this villa came up for sale I could see the potential in it immediately. If you would like the privacy of your own pool to chill about - but also have a communal pool / cafe / sports area for the kids - Dunas Douradas ticks the boxes.

Unique benefits of the property
Add to that you are only a hop skip and a jump to the beach you have it all .... but it gets better - Dunas Douradas Beach Club is on your doorstep - read the hype its all true - then you also have all the famous restaurants at Ancao beach & Vale Do Lobo within sniffing distance - this villa has it all!
