Beachfront vacation rentals in Heraklion

we had a lovely week at Maria's place. The covered terrace is the most beautiful room in the house with beautiful sea views. The beach is less than 5 minutes' walk, but beware, for people who have difficulty walking, the slope is rather steep to climb. Maria is very responsive and responds very quickly to messages. Agia Pelagia remains a small seaside resort in a great location for visiting the north of the island. Beautiful discovery

The apartment is immaculate, inside and out. We were greeted by Stella's kind father who showed us around the property. The kitchen and fridge were stocked with basic pantry items to get us through until we could go to a grocery store. We were celebrating a birthday and in response Stella had a bouquet of flowers and a greeting card set out. Such a sweet and personal touch. The beds were comfortable and the towels were soft. The washing machine was nice to have, especially with soap and softener readily available. The internet connectivity was fantastic. There is a small grocery store nearby (but the walk is uphill). Restaurants are a bit further. We rented a car so it wasn't a big deal for us. There is also a small beach a short downhill walk from the property. There are chairs and umbrellas available to rent. There is also a boat and paddle board rental on site. Overall, our stay at Stella's was amazing. We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend this property.

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!

Had a great time here! Vasilis was very accommodating and the place came as expected. Clean, great views of the water, and centrally located to the shops and restaurants in town. Highly recommend!

An oasis of calm close to the seafront, harbour and old town. The house is beautifully renovated and as all that you need for your stay. Communicating with the owners was excellent & we got an instant response. It would have been helpful to have a bit more information about services in the immediate area especially grocery shops. Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend to others.

This quaint AirBnB was not only comfortable but also a stone’s throw away from the beach. We felt right at home and enjoyed every moment - would totally recommend! (Side note: Crete is a gorgeous but absolutely HUGE island, if you want to get around easily and visit other beaches you should definitely hire a car) 🇬🇷

Excellent stay with Myron who offered to pick us up from the airport. In less than 20 minutes we were at the destination with a warm welcome and very useful information. The accommodation, in all respects consistent with the photos and description, is ideal for two, everything is very well thought out. It is located 100m from the beach and the Havana Beach Bar (which offers free sunbeds if you take a drink and good homemade dishes) and several tavernas offering traditional Cretan cuisine at an excellent value for money. The bus stop to Heraklion is 200m away and takes you there in about thirty minutes depending on traffic, there is also an express bus to the Palais de Cnossos. We recommend 100%.

We visited the house with my husband and my 1.5 year old son and had a great time at Stellina's spotless house! The amenities were exactly what you would ask for on vacation, and the host was cheerful, and I really appreciated the fact that we could find her so we needed it. She was prompt and welcoming. We will definitely visit Stelina again after we already booked our vacation for the summer! We're all looking forward to it!! Thanks for everything Stelina!!

Vasilis and Magdalena were amazing to deal with, responding immediately no matter the time. The accommodations are excellent, spacious, comfortable with each of the 3 bedrooms having their own bathroom and perfectly located on the 7 km beach with the bonus use of the pool next door. There is parking but it’s a narrow dead end street and we did get stuck a number of times behind service trucks for the restaurant next door. Easy access by bus into the town centre. It’s a perfect holiday spot for large families and friends.

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!

Dora and her family were so friendly and helpful. Dora collected us from the bus and arrived the next morning with a pot of soup. Delicious. Everything about the accommodation was amazing. A lovely apartment nice pool area , nice walks. Bravo restaurant and staff are fantastic. Antonis is so friendly and welcoming. It’s our favourite restaurant. I would highly recommend this Airbnb

We will miss it. The house and pool were great. We had a wonderful time there. We also took the cats to our hearts right away.❤️ In 2 years we'll be back.

Had a great visit! Thank you for your warm welcome, as well as your responsiveness and flexibility. The airbnb is very well located: about 20-25 min from Heraklion by car and 10 min from the center of Hersonissos, not being transported I moved by bus or taxi, there is a stop right in front of the accommodation (at the zorbas village hotel) or another stop about 15-20 minutes walk. It's better to have a car to get around, go shopping because the airbnb is a little out of the way, there is no hypermarket nearby on foot, it's a tourist area with lots of hotels, the molo cafe opposite offers free sunbeds. The location is very nice and safe, on the other hand there is a lot of bus, taxis, cars but which is not too disturbing. The sea is right in front not even 2 minutes away, the view from the garden is great (over the sea and the mountains). The place is comfortable and perfect for one or two people. I would definitely stay again.

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.

We enjoyed the stay in Fanis's place and recommend it. We had plenty of room for 3 people, and we liked the the fact that is looks more modern then some of the other places. We enjoyed breakfast at balconies, soaking the sun in, everything you need for cooking etc. is there, even a sandwich grill. Fanis was always quick to respond and helped us with any questions. As for the surroundings, we really enjoyed walking to Agia Pelagia beach (a 15-minute walk) and spending our day there, there are some good cafes and restaurants.

We had a wonderful stay at Dimitrios’ house in Lygaria! The home is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The view from the balcony is breathtaking, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. The location is ideal: peaceful and quiet, yet just a short walk to the beach and local tavernas. Dimitrios was an exceptional host, welcoming, responsive, and full of helpful tips to make our stay even better. One thing to note is that there are sound monitors inside the house. We’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing escape in Crete.

Everything is good! I can only recommend it. Thank you for the nice service

The appartment was perfect, great location with a balcony and view of the sea. Close to nice restaurants and a quiet area. About a 10mins walk to the busier nightlife area. Was also easy to find taxis at the main street behind the appartment. The aircon worked well, and the flat had kitchenette ideal for 2 people. A small shower but worked well and we didnt mind it being small seeing you only spend 3mins of your day in it. Thanos was great at check in and check out and personally welcomed us even late on a friday night. he showed us around the neighborhood and gave reccommendations which was a nice touch.A really comfortable stay. Would stay again if we come back one day!

Superb...Just superb. Thank you Kalliopi for such a fine accommodating experience.

Very enjoyable stay. Manos is a great host from providing clear instructions to proactively checking in on us. Lovely little house which is so close to the beach and main road with lots of nice restaurants.

I felt incredibly comfortable The view of the sea was fantastic. Since there are restaurants and hotels everywhere, music could be heard in the evening, but with the doors closed everything was quiet. It was super clean and had everything you needed.

The owners of this place were amazing! They were so nice! The apartment is very clean and organized. The view is absolutely stunning from this place! Recommending everyone to stay here! Would stay here again if we ever visited!

We had a great time in a clean place that matches the photos. Easy access and close to everything. We would highly recommend this listing.

Very pleasant stay without any worries. Manos is accessible and very helpful. I recommend.
