Vale do Lobo is a beautiful area. This unit is about one minute walk from the beach. It is spacious, well kept, and well equipped. We had some minor inconveniences, such as a missing manual, very loud washing machine, various TV remotes and devices none of which gave us much watchable TV. The landlord was prompt in his replies over email, but not nearby, so could not help much. The Vivalgarve rep came quickly the first morning and helped with some concerns, but we never did get a manual. Still, we didn't go there for TV, and the most important aspects were superb.
