Luxury Villa with Private pool next to sandy beach
The pictures don’t do this view justice. It’s breathtaking! The home is gorgeous and the outdoor space is wonderful. It was too cold for us to swim but we still enjoyed time at the beach. Most of the immediate area was already shut down for the season during our stay but there is a lovely area about a mile walk away. We spent a lot of time there enjoying the coffee shops and restaurants. The house and rooms were fantastic and there was more than enough space for everyone to relax. The host was amazing and went above and beyond to help us when we left some glasses at a restaurant. Thank you so much for a great stay!!

Cosy apartment just next to the sea!
We had a lovely stay in this small but nice apartment! The location is fantastic – everything we needed was within walking distance which made our visit very enjoyable. The apartment itself was clean and equipped with the most important things. Although the area was a bit noisy due to the hotel complex next door, that didn't bother us and we were still able to sleep well (maybe just take Ohropax with us:)). Overall, we were very satisfied and would definitely return. Thank you for the hospitality!

Siroco Apartment, 100 meters from the beach
Very nice place, as described by the owner.

Olive and Sea - Villa Sea with heated pool

Dion house 🏡🏡
Athina is a wonderful host. The location is very clean, perfect for a relaxing holiday, close to the beach and taverns. Would definitely recommend for a stay in Crete.

Stalis Lux Beach Apartment
The apartment was ideally located, very close to the beach and restaurants, but we were not disturbed by any noise whatsoever. Plenty of space for a couple and a small child. The outdoor terrace has a good view of the sea. Magdalena was the perfect host, arranging transport to and from the airport and quickly responded to any questions we had. We basically had a very good time and will hopefully return in the future.

Cosy house next to the beach
Matthaios's place is a really nice and well equipped private house with private garden, very-very close to the beach, in a calm and quiet environment, we liked it here a lot, came with a baby, she had super nice naps :) We got a lot of help from Matthaios, any question I had he responded accurately.

Steliana's House _Top Floor with Private Jacuzzi
We loved our stay. It was the perfect place and was in a great location. We visited in the off season so our village was very quiet, but we loved that. Stella and her father were so kind and helpful. The house was beautiful, spacious and I wish we could have stayed longer.

Attalos Studios with swimming pool
We were very pleased with our chosen space. The pictures corresponding to 1 to 1 of the apartment. The hostess was really friendly and easy to communicate with. We had nothing to complain about and would book again every time.

Georgia Seaside Villa Analipsis near the beach
We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Marios' villa, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, Marios went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—I've never had a host as warm and accommodating as him. He helped us with our luggage, had drinks and snacks waiting for us at the villa, and immediately made us feel at home. Our conversations with Marios were a highlight of our stay. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Greece and other cultures, and we learned so much from him during our time there. He was also very communicative, checking in regularly to ensure everything was going well and offering great suggestions for things in the area. The villa itself was breathtaking right on the water with a stunning pool and garden. The location was perfect, centrally situated, and we enjoyed beautiful walks on the beach every day. We wish we could have stayed longer and are already planning our return to Marios’s villa.

Villa Anna Maria - Private Pool - Sleeps 7
What wonderful hosts these people are their attention to detail on every aspect of their property is excellent. The place is spotless, everything you need in the villa is there. Manolis and his family are very kind and helpful, do t hesitate just stay here it’s ace!

New Villa HALO just 100m from the beach
Amazing place to stay and Jekaterina is the BEST host! She was so attentive to our needs and made such fantastic recommendations everyday, which made our stay even better. Thank you Jekaterina! We hope to see you again soon!

Fotini Anisaras Apartments "Α"
Only stayed for one night but this was a good place to stay. It is a bit small for two grown ups and two kids but if you keep things organized it's still a pleasant stay. WiFi was way too slow for remote work but connecting my laptop to my phone's hotspot saved the day. Maria was very friendly and helpful so this place is definitely a good option for couples and even families who don't need big indoor spaces.

Anasa Luxury Seafront Villa 2 with Heatable Pool
Perfect stay! Everything was clean and comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches. We will definitely be back the next time we visit Crete!

Villa Sunrise Majestic Seaview with Private Pool
The place is really a 12 out of 10! A true place to feel good where no wish remains unfulfilled. Everything is extremely tastefully decorated and it looks just as beautiful as on the pictures. We will definitely be visiting again. Within walking distance you will find everything you need, restaurants, shopping and beaches. We were there with our two kids and had an incredibly nice time. Our host Manolis took great care of us – even the fridge wasn't empty when we arrived. He had great tips ready and even took care of our arrival and departure to the airport. All around really worth its price and only recommended!

Khroma Luxury Suite 3 beach front apartment
Perfectly located right on the beach, it offered stunning views that were simply breathtaking. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The apartment itself was spotless and well-equipped, with all the amenities we could ask for. The decor was inviting and made us feel right at home. Waking up to the beach front every morning was a truly magical experience. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience in Crete.

Sea Aura Crete-family seaside house in Ag. Pelagia
We had a wonderful stay at Irene & Emmanouel's place. The two hosts were very warm and helpful and were there to help at all times. The children were able to access the beach directly from the apartment and enjoyed this great child-friendly beach very much. The location right on the water is incredibly beautiful and you feel like you're on vacation in a few seconds. The apartment is just as great as described and there is everything you need. We loved a fully equipped children's room, beach toys in front of the door and much more. Thank you very much for everything

Wide Sea Suites with heated jacuzzi
Giorgos’s place was just what we needed, really well looked after, relaxing and the jacuzzi was an extra bonus. The location is very peaceful and there is a nice little beach right across the road. We hired a car which was really beneficial and we could park right outside the accommodation. The accommodation was perfect, clean, pretty and had everything we needed. Giorgos was there when we needed him, quick to respond and friendly. Thanks for a great holiday!

Trinity Seaside Family Maisonette in Gournes
We had a wonderful stay in this quiet neighborhood. In 5 minutes we were at the sea. The neighbors were friendly and the house was spacious. Loved the local feel of the area. The host was helpful, responsive and flexible.

Beachfront flat with a panoramic view of the bay
Super nice bright and well decorated apartment. We felt at home. Lovely balcony overlooking the sea. Eva was there to greet us and explain about the apartment. There was free bread and various delicacies in the fridge. Quick, friendly, and welcoming communication with Eva. We can highly recommend the apartment.

Sea Waves 1 & 2
The host are super nice, always respond to app and ask if all is well (She had even baked brownies for us). In addition, the apartment is quite spacious and every room has air conditioning. The balconies are very nice to start the day with a beautiful view. The bathroom is also great, with a rain shower and even a washing machine. In addition, everything was clean and well arranged.

Apartment with garden by the sea
The place was very good, matching the descriptions and the photos. It is very easy to walk to the local beach or if you have a car, the drive to other beaches or the high road isn't long at all. The host was very helpful and super responsive to our messages. Great experience overall!

Sun-Splashed House Next To The Beach At Gournes
We loved the house, slept 5 easily, was well equipped and not overlooked. We loved the area, full of local people, great restaurants, beaches in between the rock sea defences with umbrellas and bar/ cafes. Very friendly area. Everything in the house worked well and made our stay very enjoyable, would definitely recommend, thank you!
