Cottage with a sea view

Angra dos Reis sits on the Costa Verde between Rio and Paraty, a bay scattered with hundreds of islands and the calm green water that goes with them — Ilha Grande, with no cars and no roads, is the best known and reachable by boat from the mainland. This is a cottage for three in one bedroom, with a sea view, a pool, parking, air conditioning and a washer. At $42 a night it is the cheapest stay on the entire site by a clear margin, which on a coastline this good is the single most surprising entry in our selection.
