BlueWave Kalives/Beachfront house/Up to 3 Bedrooms
We had a really nice stay at Georgios place. Enjoying the seaside view while having breakfast on the terrace is amazing. The flat was clean and we found everything we needed. Would love to come back

Traditional House KYMA, on the beach
We really enjoyed our stay in Kyma Beach during early April. It was very clean and it's a lovely "secret" location down by the beach. The 2 local restaurants were just opening up when we arrived and both served excellent food. Thanks a lot.

Chania Sea View Summer House
It feels like home as soon as we arrived at Grigoris's place. We were welcomed by Christina (Grigoris mom, hope we got the name right). Christina was super friendly and helpful through our stay. She brought to us some home cooked Greek pastries and biscuits next day and we loved them. The house looks and feels better than the photos. Beautiful sea view in a quiet area. We felt so relaxpastIt has everything you need to enjoy your stay there. Great place for a family. Highly recommend and we will definitely come back. Lots of lovely memory. Thank you Christina and Grigoris.

Luxury SeaView Studio
Nice apartment, well located close to the beach and within walking distance to the old town. Some noise from the street, but not disturbing. Nice view from balcony.

Seaview studio
Holiday home from home. everything good. Vassilis very helpful with lots of good extras in room. Studio clean, bright airy, good WiFi with large kitchen area, Expresso coffee machine. Bathroom a tad small, but works. Sleep quiet with shutters closed, Beach 5 minutes walk. Bus stop to Heraklion and airport 3 minutes. Private parking space. Thank you for a lovely stay and wish you good season. Margaret, Babis

Steps away from city's beach Apt 2
Wonderful stay!

Sea View Apartment
We've had a really good time staying at Michael's place. It is situated really close to a wonderful quiet sandy beach that has some amazing clay mass people use to improve their bodies skin while soaking the sun. A good number of some true and genuine cretan tavernas nearby to address the tastes of Greek food connoisseurs.

Beachfront home rentals with a pool

100m to Beach / Private Pool / Family-Friendly
We had a very nice stay at this place. The host and his caretaker was very helpful from the day we came to we left. The Strandvilla was very nice. What you se at the pictures is what you get. The house and the garden/pool area was very nice and clean. The house and the pool was cleaned several time during our stay. The kitchen has all you need to make dinner etc. We were 2 adults and 6 young peoples, the neighbor on the one side was familys whith small kids and the other neighbour was a group of adult ladies, so this villas fits for everyone. Close by (70 meters) you find a lokal taverna with very good food, very nice host and good service. The beach is 100 meter from the house and it is perfeckt for small children because of the calm sea. You can take the bus to Chania, it goes 4 times during the day, but i recommend to hire a car so you can experiens the whole island (different beaches, small villages and to get to the mini marked). We are very happy for our stay Marit from Norway

Exceptional Beach Villa Crete Dreams 1 - 10 Pers.
We had a beautiful Week @ Villa Crete Dreams! Christine was a perfect, warm, extremely responsive & competent host. She was just awesome! The villa is positively epic. The comfort, luxury, view, POOL, amenities, tv, ac - all were the BEST ! We can not wait to return here! Oh I have to add that it is wonderful to be able to walk down to Plaka in a couple of minutes, and to easily drive to Elounda. This villa is the best!

Beachfront Villa Tavronitis, 8 BD, 2 private pools
Perfect for our extended family. We had both houses. The villas looked exactly like the pictures. Lovely, quiet and safe space for both big and small, right on the beach. A couple of cozy tavernas are close by. The shops are a little further away, so we recommend renting a car. The pool areas were cleaned every morning and the hosts were very accommodating if we needed anything. Emmanuel and Yannis were always available for questions and very helpful. We would really recommend this place highly. Thank you for us and we will remember this holiday for a long time Kind regards Trine &Fred

Blue Velvet Coast Seafront Villa with Heated Pool
We had a great stay at this beautiful property—it was clean, spacious, and perfect for our group of five. Each bedroom having its own bathroom was a huge plus, and we really enjoyed the pool and outdoor seating areas. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the views of the surrounding area were lovely. The location is peaceful and quiet, away from the noise of the city, but still just a short drive to several great beaches. The host, George, was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. He explained how to use the smart panel to turn on the boiler for hot water when he met us at the property, but we didn’t follow the instructions as closely as we should have the first morning, which caused the water to be cold. The boiler runs for 30 minutes at a time and seems to rely on solar heating, so hot water can be limited if multiple people shower back-to-back. Turning on the boiler in advance and spacing out showers made a big difference. Highly recommend this place!

Sea View White Villa
This house was unbelievable! The location was gorgeous and perfect. It felt private but also accessible and we LOVED the little town. The amenities and entire home were a dream and made our vacation perfect. The only thing better was STAVROS the host! He was AMAZING! Left us treats, helped us multiple times with recommendations, and even brought us freshly pressed oil! We definitely hope to be back!

Aega - Akra Grammeno Beachfront Villa with pool
This place is absolutely amazing. My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Aikaterinis apartment and we were completely satisfied. The inside provides everything what we needed. The description was absolutely accurate. The fridge is very spacious and there is a freezer as well. We cooked quite a lot therefore this was very helpful for us. The pool outside is very clean and also the temperature was perfect for the hot days in Greece. You can really relax at this place because there is not a lot of tourism at this area on Crete. Also the beach in front of the house is quite nice. We put our hammock under some trees and were watching the sunrise over Paleochora. I can totally recommend this apartment, especially for couples who want some relaxing time and together.

Rothos BeachFront Retreat, with Plunge Pool
Perfectly designed accommodation, very good design, perfect technical equipment, very friendly reception, some food for the first day is ready. Wonderful view, good beds, well-equipped kitchen. Nice terrace. However, a busy city road runs along the back. That doesn't bother you in the living room. Because of the very good and quiet air conditioning, you can sleep in the bedrooms with the window closed, then the traffic noise is hard to hear.

Maleme Kefi
We had a great stay here! We visited before the summer season had begun and there were not many places open but the host was helpful in finding some places that were open to eat!

The PAUSE <Villa by the Sea with heated Pool >
We had a fabulous stay here. The villa is lovely, inside and out, with a well equipped kitchen, including food staples and a variety of different seating areas outside. The pool is great and the beach is virtually on the doorstep, with free sunbeds (if you buy at least a drink from the local taverna). In terms of local amenities, there is a small shop and a couple of tavernas within a few minutes walk, plus a small hotel complex, where you can also eat and visit their bar. There are 2 larger supermarkets within a couple of kilometres, for which you would either need a car or taxi, however the hosts were kind enough to ferry us there and back, when we first arrived, which was so helpful. Chania Old Town is beautiful and we travelled there on a couple of occasions by taxi (28E) in the evening, but you can also take a bus which stops near to the villa. Finally, the hosts, Eleni and Thrasyvoulos were lovely, regularly checking in without being intrusive. Highly recommended.

Villa Smili-Naiades/3 bedrooms, luxury, beachfront
We live Eleni’s villa. Superbly well equipped spotless and great location. We were greeted with lots of home baked goodies (delicious) fruit wine and raki’s. They brought extra toys for our 22 month old and regularly checked in to see if we needed anything. Second visit and hopefully not the last. Thank you (both) eleni’s for all you did to make our holiday so Memorable. Anne

Luxury Seaside Suite with View (2nd)
A nice and central place to stay! The host has been very accommodating. I recommend visiting Sarantari beach which is within walking distance.

Villa Proto Helidoni - A cozy beachfront Villa
A very nice place to stay. Especially quiet in the preseason. Large outdoor space for your own use and drinking coffee directly by the sea😊. The interior is spacious, so you can feel comfortable indoors even in cooler temperatures. Communication great, fast and very friendly. Thanks Nikos! Also for the welcome - gift (fruits, water and olive oil)

Sunterra Seafront Villa with Pool !
We had an absolutely amazing stay! The house was even better than the pictures—spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated. Our host went above and beyond to make our trip special. They were incredibly attentive, offering fantastic local recommendations and even arranging a taxi service for us, which made everything so easy. To top it all off, they surprised us with homemade traditional Easter cookies, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. We felt so welcomed and cared for the entire time. Highly, highly recommend staying here—you won’t be disappointed!
