Villa Branca a House for rent in Cumbuco.

Set right on the beach with a beautiful pool area and garden.


A House for Rent in Cumbuco

The house is white with a red roof and is situated only 40 meters from the Atlantic Ocean. The house is 4 years old and is built in south French style. (The former owner who built the house was French).

Within a short radius from the house there are several restaurants and two major hotels and of course the neighbor restaurant Boxing Kangaroo only 100 meters from the house. Here you can enjoy dishes such as king prawns, lobster or maybe get a good steak. Whatever you choose you will get a good and well served meal.

In total there are 6 bedrooms with a total of 15 beds (6 double beds and childbed with three beds) Each bedroom has its own bathroom and shower. All the rooms are equipped with ventilators and the largest room is equipped with an air conditioner.

A perfect house for a team of kitesurfers. Kiteschool in Cumbuco just next to the Villa Branca.

Kitesurfing at Cumbuco Beach

The conditions of Cumbuco beach are truly wonderful for all levels of kite surfer; there is a small shore dump and then flat water with slight sea swell. Cumbuco beach is one of the world's most idyllic bays for kitesurfing.

The beach of Cumbuco has two main sections, the upwind bay stretches from Barraca (beach restaurants) Cumbuco Beach 4km downwind to the point where Duro Beach Hotel is.

The centre of the village has Barraca's (beach restaurants) all along the beach, it's very narrow at high tide and there can be lots of swimmers so it's best to either kite upwind or downwind of this 1km stretch.

The best place to launch and land to kitesurf in the main bay of Cumbuco is from Hi-Life Kitesurfing School, from here onwards you have 10 kilometers of open empty beach and ocean to play in.

The shore dump can at high tide when there is a big swell reach 1m (only a few times a year, mainly Jan onwards) but normally its only 0.5m and there is only one line of breaking waves.

At low tide there are sand bars off the point that produce nice waves around 300-400 hundred meters from the shore.

For all kiters Cumbuco is a dream place to kite - and the village has allot going on, all based around kiters. Villa Branca is a 20 minutes walk along the beach to Cumbuco.
