The Experience

Know how to use a lawn mower, as well as other basic garden maintenance equipment. The idea is to keep the garden trimmed and tidy at all times, so it's easier to maintain than constantly starting from scratch with a mess.

This was my first volunteering experience, and I couldn't be happier with it! 😊 A special thank you to Isabel for welcoming me so warmly and making my stay such a great experience. I felt very comfortable during my time here and had the opportunity to discover some really beautiful beaches. Also, a special shout-out to Tiago, who guided me and helped me with the tasks related to the grass area. Thank you so much for your help and patience! Thank you for everything. I'm leaving with a very nice experience and lots of great memories. 🇧🇷❤️

Beautiful place. Nature is everything. It rained for many days, otherwise it would have been a 10. Iza is incredible, super attentive to everything, super responsible with your working hours and your meals, she fulfilled everything promised. But Astor (🐶) takes the prize. No doubt I would return!
If you don't like animals, it's not for you.

It was a great experience! The environment is calm, the shifts are well organized and the schedules are kept properly. It's a perfect place for those who want to work a few hours, have plenty of free time and enjoy the beach at a relaxed pace. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a light and calm experience during the trip.

It was a very calm and pleasant experience. The shifts are light, the hours are respected, and the routine allows plenty of free time to enjoy the beach and explore the region. I recommend it to anyone looking for a calm and welcoming place to spend a season and enjoy a stay at the beach.

Izabel is the most mindful when it comes to volunteering time! She is amazing, very kind and respectful. The house is beautiful and the tasks are very easy to handle. Unfortunately I had to leave a little earlier, but it will stay in my heart... and Astor too (the house's dog)! 🐶

The beach is only 4 blocks away and you can manage the volunteer hours with a lot of flexibility. An incredible experience! 100% recommended.

Estefânia, I’m sorry I missed the evaluation timer. But I want to record here all my joy and satisfaction in having welcomed you, and all the help you gave me. You were wonderful, you did everything with a lot of care, very polite, kind and affectionate with us and with my little pets. Thank you for all the dedication to the general house cleaning tasks, punctual and meticulous. This place will always be open for you; I miss you.
