Studio with sea views in Blue Beach
Beautiful resort on the beach with nearby supermarket, tavernas, and cafes. Great value for the amenities.

Bellavista Old Port - Magical views
Fantastic place to stay, perfect location. took my husband for a flying visit as he has not been here before so went for a place right in the centre of old town by the port. Could not have found a better place, the view out of the bedroom window was lovely. Krisztina was very quick to answer any queries, and really friendly throughtout the conversations. lovely bottle of wine in the fridge what a lovely surprise, sadly was in such a rush to get out and do stuff i forgot it was there until the last morning, next time will make sure i drink it. Took shampoo conditioner and shower gel, didnt need to as that was there as well.brilliant host and amazing time we had there. The appartment was absolutely perfect for a couple, cannot recommend it highly enough. thank you so much Krisztina

A-mez Beachfront Villa - Apartment
We had a great time at this very well-equipped, clean and as-advertised accommodation. Direct access to the sea is a real asset, ideal for enjoying at any time of day. The host, who lives just below, was very welcoming and available. Note, however: the nearby road can be noisy in the evening, which can bother people sensitive to noise. Despite this, we enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks for your hospitality!

Dorothy's Dream, amazing view, history and luxury
There will not be enough superlatives to describe this place. The location overlooking the Venetian Harbor was amazing. The house is historic, beautiful and has all the amenities you will want. You literally won't believe the large rooftop deck with crazy views. The house had lots of interesting things to read, lots of space for a large group and it was stocked with maps and guidebooks. The neighborhood is completely safe. The in-person welcome from the hosts contained some really thoughtful surprises (you will need to find out yourself - I won't ruin the surprise welcome.). If you hadn't noticed, I highly recommend. Thppvvvvvparticularlyppartucukarly

Klea Apartment
Exactly as described! Manolis is a wonderful host and goes above and beyond to make you feel at home! He gave wonderful recommendations and was attentive whenever we had questions. On site parking was an amazing feature and an in unit washer really helped as this was a stop in the middle of a longer trip. The stay was exactly what we had hoped for and we were very comfortable. For reference, we were 4 adults (2 couples).

Pearl Seaside Cozy Apartments 5
Mike was great from the start…we booked last minute and he texted me immediately. He made everything very easy and was extremely friendly when we got there to check in. He showed us everything about the apartment that we needed to know and gave us lots of tips on where to go to eat and to see the best sites. The rooftop space was beautiful and the apartment was very close to everything in the area… We were able to walk to everything! I would definitely recommend staying there… Thank you, Mike!

City Center Penthouse on the Beach
Katerina and George were the most amazing hosts. They were friendly and very helpful with recommendations for various restaurants and day trips. Their property was one of the best we’ve stayed in. The location was perfect and convenient to the beach and restaurants, but more importantly away from the hustle and bustle of the old town. The view from the deck was phenomenal in all directions. Our only regret is that we did not book this for an entire month. Maybe next year.

Artemis Seafront Apartments - 6
Wow! Artemis is such a thoughtful host. The property is peaceful and beautiful. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy Crete and the Mediterranean. Our apartment was cleaned every weekday; that was a bonus!

Sea and Sun "Metaxy Mas", brand-new, beachfront!
Beautiful location and the hosts were so helpful throughout our stay

Casa Marathi Blue Sky
We had the most fantastic family holiday here and can’t thank Giannis enough for being the perfect host! Her place is exactly as described and we will definitely be back! Thank you again for having us!

NEW VILLA EOS beach front
This house was absolutely amazing – just like in the pictures, if not even better! The location right by the beach is truly breathtaking, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting. All the furniture and appliances are top-of-the-line – everything was spotless, high-quality, and incredibly comfortable. Ria was a fantastic host – super friendly, always quick to respond, and very helpful. We really appreciated how kind and welcoming she was. We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay and would recommend this house to absolutely everyone. A perfect getaway!

Villa Mareli - Beachside Villa with Heated Pool
This villa is in a great location. Only around a 5 minute walk to the beach / resteraunts. The outdoor space is amazing. Lovely big pool area with plenty of sun loungers. We went with our 9 month old son so the large covered area was great to keep him entertained away from the midday sun. Karolina was a great host, very quick to respond and very helpful. I would stay again.

Sea and Sun Marathoula House! Beachfront,Sea View!
We discovered this place for ourselves after a long search. We are a family with twins aged 11 years. Booking was super easy. The hostess Tasoula always responded nicely and competently. By rental car from Chania Airport, it takes only 15 minutes to the accommodation with its own roller door and parking. We were very warmly welcomed and immediately fell in love with the beautiful accommodation. From the elevated terrace, it is 15 m to the blue-green shimmering pristine water, without algae, plastic and dirt. The water is very clear and swimming in it was a dream. Outdoor shower is great in the complex. To the left and right of the complex are restaurants with very delicious Greek food Especially in the Veranda restaurant, everyone was so nice and even brought us the food to the terrace. Tasoula cooked for us twice... They just brought us plates of Greek food. Sooo sweet. We will be happy to come back.

2 apartments over the sea - Private place to swim
We had a glorious two weeks at Niko's place. For the first time at AirBNB it felt like we're were guests at a friends home. All of the promised essentials were provided in generous quantities - Niko's home grown fruit and veg were a particular treat and provided in such generous quantities that we couldn't eat them all. The place is simple but with all the equipment that you could need. The terrace a delight to enjoy the sun and the bathing spot a treat. Niko has landscaped a most wonderful extended garden which made the whole property just beautiful!

Villa Recluso- heated pool,hydromassage,bbq,view
I truly recommend staying with Niko in this beautiful villa! The house is very modern, the outside area spectacular and private and the communication with Niko was clear and helpful. The accommodation works for both families and friends. The house is located around 30mins from Chania which is easy to get to by car. Can only recommend renting this villa.

Villa Vriko
Amazing home, literally about 20 steps away from the beach. The home was spotless and beautifully decorated. It looks brand new! The host had fresh fruits, delicious cakes, pastries, still and sparkling water in the fridge, bags of ice in the freezer and a bottle of champagne on ice waiting for us at check in, which was an amazing experience! Best Airbnb host ever! The villa had a private rooftop deck that was the ultimate place to relax and unwind, while offering an amazing view of the Sea of Crete. The rooftop also has a very big jacuzzi, dinning table, seating and loungers. I forgot to mention that the neighborhood has restaurants and shopping in both directions. You will definitely be happy with this place.

Venetian Harbour Gem
The views from this place are beyond breathtaking, especially at sunset! This is an area that is just walking distance from the touristy spot and is very peaceful. My bf was worried about smell and sound being above a restaurant, but there were zero issues. It’s practically sound proof. We sat on the balcony multiple times a day to people watch and listen to the beautiful street performers. We must have missed it in the listing, but please note that this is a home someone lives in. So you don’t have as much storage as you would in an Airbnb dedicated to guests only. We had one closet, two drawers, and could store suitcases under the bed. Not much storage or counter space for our things, but the host did say we could use anything in the house which was nice for cooking our own meals. Highly recommend the brunch and coffee at the Sandbar! Would definitely recommend this spot, especially for couples. The bed is a thick memory foam mattress and was very cozy & comfortable. We slept great!

EYGE transformed modern apartment by the sea-new!
The apartment, its location, and the hosts’ hospitality are simply impressive. The room had everything we needed - even sun hats, beach towels, and slippers. A separate crib was provided for our son. The apartment also came with a juicer, toaster, coffee machine, coffee, tea, and plenty of food. However, the place is better suited for couples without small children. Our 1-year-4-month-old son constantly wanted to go up and down the stairs (which isn’t very safe) or out onto the balcony. Still, he managed to enjoy the beautiful views and woke up saying ‘wooow.’ 😁 The water at the beach is perfect for small children and peaceful relaxation. We had a wonderful vacation! Nearby, we discovered a lovely restaurant called Halepa with incredible sunsets and delicious seafood - highly recommended.

Tasoula's Studio in front of the beach
Great last minute booking in a prime location

Amazing penthouse, 1 bdr, Sea view, Sea front
Christina was lovely, meeting us at check in and check out and her apartment and it's location are superb. Also the apartment had everything you need, and Christina also provided some fresh food at check in. Thank you so much.

Agiazi Beachfront Apartment - 40m from the beach!
what a beautiful place

ΟCEAN BLUE Apartment in Chania
We had a wonderful stay, VERY CLEAN and QUITE place, well stocked condo, great host, sun set off the patio baloney was wonderful. Kyriakos was wonderful to work with and very responsive. The place is much nicer than the pictures on the website. I highly recommended this place. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathroom, much bigger than we needed but it was nice to spread out... Thank you Kyriakos for being such a wonderful host. PS. This is parking at the place.

APARTMENT WITH AMAZING VIEW OF THE OLD PORT
The apartment’s large balcony & location at the quiet end of the Venetian Harbour in Chania old town, was perfect for relaxing and exploring the labyrinthine little alleyways of the old town of Chania. I started and ended the day sitting on the balcony, watching sensational sunsets, the quiet chatter of people in the restaurant below and the mooring and unmooring of boats in the harbour! Christina, my main contact, was outstanding in her responsiveness and assistance in ordering a taxi etc. I would definitely stay here again!

Studio in Almyrida, next to beautiful beach
Kurt and his wife made the stay even better! Super friendly and very helpful when needed. Cute and cozy getaway stay with the beach only a short walk to along with great restaurants and shops
