The first time we heard from Bonita and Eduíno´s business was through the local newspaper “Acoriano Oriental”, October 2010. They were looking for houses to rent overlooking the sea and, because we have one “Quinta de Milhafres” located in Ribeira das Tainhas, Vila Franca do Campo, we decided to contact them.
Our guesthouse was remodeled according to Bonita and Eduino high quality patterns and we were supported by them through the whole process with ideas and suggestions. The house was ready for rent in April 2011.
The first guests arrived on the last week of June and they kept coming during the whole summer until the end of October. Their reviews regarding our guesthouse and Bonita and Eduino´s service reveal that they are excellent professionals. A common point of the reviews, beside the compliments to “Quinta de Milhafres” guesthouse, is the personalized and careful service that Bonita and Eduino give to guests, since the first contact until the day they leave. And, it does not stop there. Bonita follows up with comments and suggestions that are published in the house website.
Also, their relationship with us, house owners, is solicitous, always toward successful partnership. We are taking some steps to benefit our guesthouse, such as open an easier access to the beach, so that our next guests can enjoy even better the surrounding nature.
The partnership with Bonita and Eduino has been personally and financially rewarding. Even though it is recent, less than a year, it will certainly last. We can honestly say that it was a very good idea to answer back their post in the newspaper.

Dear Bonita and Ed
I've had the pleasure of knowing you for almost 2 years now. So I think that a description of the
work you have done for my brother and I, can be beneficial for other home owners in Sao Miguel.
Dear home owners - If you are consider renting out your house or get someone to keep an eye on
it while you are away, I can only recommend you to contact the vacation home management. I've
been extremely happy with a professional and durable agreement. It’s not always easy to find
people who make agreements in order to keep them 100%. Nevertheless, it is the case with Bonita
and Ed.
Vacation home management has taken care of our house for maintenance and rental.
In the case with the rental of the house there is only one thing to say: Earnings have risen by 85%.
This is partly due to Bonita and Ed. They are highly skilled to handle the tenants, it is my
impression that they meet people with open hearts and curiosity. I highly recommend to leave a
rental project to Bonita and Ed, they know the island, will welcome people the best way its
possible, they are trustworthy so the guests want to return again.
For us as owner it’s nice that the rental functions as well as it does. But it’s also important that the
investment we have made on the island is taking care of and keep maintained.
Previlusly we always had to work on the house when we finally found the time to be there. Garden
and house needed a loving hand and the holiday soon became "working holiday"
With the agreement we made with Bonita and Ed it’s now much more pleasant to arrive in Sao
Miguel and to our house. The garden is cared for, the house is clean and we can hardly feel that
there have been guests since we were there last.
Every time I arrive I think of the first 5 years we had the house - what a work we each time had to
go through before we could enjoy ourselves. Now it’s a pleasure and I have peace in my life
because I know that everything is taken good care of.
Thank you Bonita and Ed.
Kind regards

Hello,
My name is Joe Belchior. My wife Patricia and I have owned property in the beautiful island of Sao Miguel for approximately 20 years.

About 4 years ago, we had the pleasure of meeting Ed and Bonita Sousa. During the course of general conversation we mentioned the frustration we had been having with the previous person looking after our place. At that point Ed and Bonita offered their services. A very unsophisticated one page agreement was drawn up between us and so for the past 2 years they have been managing our place.

I have no way of expressing my level of satisfaction with their services. Not only are they professional at what they do, they are also caring and treat my property as if it was their own. I would most certainly highly recommend their services to anyone.

Dear Bonita & Eduino,

I've written this recommendation of your work to share .
"My boyfriend and I rented a home through Bonita and Ed earlier this year, and had an absolutely amazing experience. They are responsive, responsible, and friendly. They went above and beyond their duties. We would gladly rent from them again, and certainly recommend them to anyone interested in vacationing in the Azores."

Dear Bonita & Eduino,
I've written this recommendation of your work.
"Bonita and Ed are fabulous to work with. They acted as agents for a property we rented in the Azores this last summer. My family and I had a tough time planning our trip due to some health issues that came up. Bonita and Ed worked with us to build a plan and terms that were more than reasonable. When we finally got to the Azores our plane was many hours late - arriving at 10pm or so, they met us at the Airport and made sure we got to the house that night. The house was very far in the opposite direction from where they live. More amazing was that they bought us some getting started food. If you have young children, like we do, then you know how helpful that was. They really went all out. If you are going to the Azores or rent property there you should be working with Bonita and Ed."
