BlueWave Kalives/Beachfront house/Up to 3 Bedrooms
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour chez Georgios. L'appartement est à deux pas de la plage, vous trouvez des restaurants et commerces dans la rue ou à 300m dans le village. Les chambres sont très spacieuses (plus grandes qu'il n'y paraît dans l'annonce). La terrasse est très agréable et le parking gratuit est juste a côté. Les serviettes de bain et de plage sont fournies. Nous avons trouvé que Kalyvès est bien situé pour visiter l'ouest de la Crète. Nous reviendrons !

Traditional House KYMA, on the beach
Een zeldzame plek! Dit authentieke stenen huis aan het strand van Ravdoucha is een klein paradijsje. De unieke ligging - direct aan een rustig zandstrand - zorgt voor complete ontspanning met alleen het geluid van de golven op de achtergrond. Het interieur is vol charmante details die het karakter versterken. De terrassen rondom bieden altijd een perfect plekje, of je nu van ochtendzon of zonsondergang wilt genieten. Hoewel je even moet rijden (25 min naar Kissamos), is die moeite het waard. Het voelt als een privéstrand zonder volledig afgezonderd te zijn. De twee nabijgelegen tavernes serveren uitstekend eten voor als je niet wilt koken. Ons gezin heeft hier een onvergetelijke tijd gehad. De kinderen speelden vrij op het strand met een eend en in de tuin terwijl wij genoten van rust en uitzicht. Perfect om samen te zijn, weg van de dagelijkse drukte. We hopen terug te komen.

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

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
Perfekt for storfamilien vår. Vi hadde begge husene. Villaene så akkurat ut som på bildene. Nydelig, rolig og trygg plass for både store og små, rett ved stranden. Et par koselige tavernaer ligger i nærheten. Butikkene er litt lenger unna, så vi anbefaler å leie bil. Bassengområdene ble rengjort hver morgen, og vertene var svært imøtekommende dersom vi trengte noe. Emmanuel og Yannis var alltid tilgjengelige for spørsmål og svært hjelpsomme. Vi vil virkelig anbefale dette stedet på det sterkeste. Takk for oss og vi vil huske denne ferien lenge Vennlig hilsen 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
Wir haben die Zeit in der Sea View White Villa sehr genossen. Die Lage ist ein Traum. 15 Minuten vom Flughafen entfernt, direkt am Strand. In der unmittelbaren Umgebung gibt es mehrere gute Restaurants. Die Unterkunft lässt keine Wünsche offen. Der Pool kann auf Wunsch etwas geheizt werden, sodass man auch schon früh in der Saison vollen Badespaß hat. Der Whirlpool lädt zum entspannen ein. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet mit zwei Schlafzimmern und 2 Bädern ideal für 3-4 Personen. Stravros war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es gab kleine Leckereien zur Begrüßung und wir fühlten uns sofort willkommen. Rundum ein toller Urlaub, Danke nochmals!

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
I loved my stay here, and only wish I had booked my stay for longer! The villa was truly high-end and every detail was thoughtful. They had everything you could possibly need and the host made sure you were comfortable and cared for. The outdoor balcony/pool was relaxing and special, with a beautiful view of the sea. It was also close to several delicious restaurants and within walking distance of downtown Rethymno. I want to come back and bring my friends for a longer stay! A special thank you to Marianna for making my check-in extra smooth!

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

Villa Proto Helidoni - A cozy beachfront Villa
Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft. Vor allem in der Vorsaison ruhig. Grosser Aussenplatz für die eigene Nutzung und Kaffeetrinken direkt am Meer😊. Der Innenbereich grosszügig, so dass man sich auch bei kühleren Temperaturen drinnen wohl fühlen kann. Kommunikation super, schnell und sehr freundlich. Danke Nikos! Auch für das Willkommens - Geschenk (Früchte, Wasser und Olivenöl)

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!

Villa Seashell★ Beach front Luxury villa in Chania
Perfect location very close to Chania. We had breakfast every morning by the sea and fell asleep with sound of waves every night. Perfect home and by far the best airbnb we have stayed in. Beautifully decorated, Amazing attention to details- this place has EVERYTHING you need. Highest quality of hosting. We will be back

2 apartments over the sea - Private place to swim
Tämä kohde on todellinen aarre: terassi ja piha, avarat näkymät merelle ja erityisesti Nikoksen kädenjälki rinteen puutarhassa aina rantaan asti. Jos nautit omasta rauhasta ja luonnosta, tämä paikka on sinun. Kaikessa henkii kreeetalainen, paikallinen kulttuuri. Nikos ja hänen tyttärensä Eleni olivat hyvin avuliaita, jos heräsi jokin kysymys tai tarve. Läheistä kalaravintolaa pitää kalastajan perhe, nautimme kovasti hyvästä, tuoreesta kalaruoasta.

Canvas Villas by the sea
Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit in der Villa und in Agia Pelagia. Die Villa bietet eine hochwertige Ausstattung, liegt ruhig und lädt sofort zum Entspannen ein. Besonders die Terrasse, der kleine Garten und der herrliche Pool machen den Aufenthalt einzigartig. Die Kommunikation war stets freundlich, und das Team vor Ort hat uns mit großer Zuvorkommenheit betreut. Ein absolutes Highlight war die Massage bei Mike – wir können diese Erfahrung nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen! Der kleine Strand von Psaromoura ist bequem in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Dort gibt es eine gemütliche Bar, Liegen zum Mieten und die Möglichkeit, das türkisfarbene Meer voll auszukosten. Das nahegelegene Dorf ist ebenfalls einfach zu Fuß zu erreichen und bietet neben einem charmanten Strand eine Vielzahl an großartigen Restaurants.

Vista Mare Villa Heated Pool
The villa is lovely and has everything you need for a holiday. Clean and well maintained. There was extra cleaning during the week. Great view of the sea and the mountains. The cars passing on the main road, which is 100m below the villa, create a slight noise, but it is not unbearable. Maria is a great host and despite the late evening time of arrival she was waiting for us with a smile. She took care of us all the time and gave us valuable advice. There was a problem with the dishwasher, which was fixed the next day as soon as I informed Maria. We had a great week and would come back again.
