There's a particular kind of quiet that only happens on a cliff above the Atlantic. At Waterfront, it's the first thing you notice — the soft break of surf below, the wide silver light off the ocean, the village of Gaula - Porto Novo&nbsp;still half-asleep behind you.
Set directly on the cliff, on Madeira's sunny south coast, Waterfront is the first&nbsp;of our two side-by-side apartments. You're 5 minutes from Funchal–Madeira Airport, 10 minutes from the Santa Cruz seaside promenade, 15 minutes from the golden sands of Machico, and a 20-minute drive (17 km) into the heart of Funchal. Close to everything, yet wonderfully apart from it.
Inside, two bedrooms and a full bathroom comfortably host up to 4 guests, with a bright open-plan living and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, smart TV, fast Wi-Fi, washing machine, and a quiet corner for those mixing the holiday with a few hours of remote work. The real signature, though, is outside: an ocean-facing balcony for morning coffee with the horizon, and — one level down — a private patio with sunbeds and an outdoor shower, framed by the open Atlantic. It's the kind of spot where afternoons quietly disappear.
Waterfront suits couples seeking a slow, romantic escape, or a small family of four who want sea air, space, and easy access to both Funchal and the eastern beaches. Booked together with Vista, our adjoining apartment, it becomes the perfect setup for two couples or close friends travelling together — independent space, shared sunsets.
Wake up without an alarm. Let the ocean keep time. This is what we built Waterfront for.

Cliff Residence Waterfront Apartment

This was one of the finest holiday stays we had. The apartment is beautifully situated on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and is located 5-7 minutes drive from the airport. It was impeccably clean, exceptionally comfortable, and fully equipped with everything one might need. The kitchen was particularly well stocked, and the two bedrooms had comfortable double beds along with plenty of wardrobe space. The sitting room overlooking the ocean had a comfortable sofa and a TV with access to Netflix and YouTube. Stunning ocean views from one the bedrooms and the living with sea-facing balcony. The owner,Maria has taken great care to ensure every detail contributes to a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Funchal is only 15 minutes away. Grocery store ( Continental ) was also 5-6 minutes on drive. Apartments a parking lot. Overall, a truly delightful and memorable stay.

A truly delightful and memorable stay

We had such a great stay at Vista Apartment in Madeira Home Cliff Residence! The place is beautiful and the views are honestly even better in real life; waking up to the ocean like that was a highlight. Everything was super clean, cozy, and really well thought out.We loved how photogenic everything was, and we even got some amazing drone shots around the area.The location is nice and near the airport, close enough to get around easily. The host Maria, was super friendly and quick to reply, which made everything really smooth. We only stayed for two nights but definitely wished we had more time. Would 100% recommend for a chilled, stylish getaway!

The Views are even better in real life!

My fiancée and I spent 9 wonderful nights here and it was simply an outstanding place to stay. Spacious, well-equipped, and it feels like a real home rather than a typical rental. The kitchen had everything we needed — a coffee machine with plenty of capsules, an air fryer, toaster, oven, and more. We cooked regularly and made great use of it throughout our stay. The terrace with garden furniture and sun loungers was a great feature. The weather during our stay was rainier and cooler than the forecasts had suggested, so we couldn't enjoy it as much as we'd hoped — but whenever the sun came out, we ate outside and made the most of it. On the last sunny day, we finally got a few hours on the loungers. The bedroom has a direct view of the ocean from the cliff — waking up to that every morning was truly special. We hiked a lot during the stay, and the apartment was genuinely helpful on the muddier days. The washing machine came with laundry capsules, and there was a small basin perfect for washing shoes after muddy trails. Having clean clothes and gear every day made a real difference. The vacuum cleaner was also useful for keeping things tidy during a longer stay. The bathroom was well stocked — shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, a hairdryer with a diffuser, and enough towels for the whole stay. Everything was just there when we needed it. The host was great — always reachable and quick to respond. When we accidentally locked ourselves out, she helped us straight away without any fuss. She also left us a small gift at the end of the stay, which was a really nice touch. The neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful. Underground parking is included with a dedicated spot — tight, as parking tends to be everywhere on Madeira, but manageable. There were also a few unassigned spots in front of the building, and we used both depending on the day.A little tight parking spot.

Spacious, well-equipped, stunning ocean view, and a great host — highly recommended!

Very Clean, great location and the hosts are amazing.
