House rentals with a pool

Garden villa with private pool and sea view.
Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft. Der große Garten und die tolle Aussicht auf die Bucht von Heraklion waren der Hammer. Das Haus selber war ein wenig kleiner als erwartet, besonders mit zwei fast erwachsenen Kindern. Die Oberflächen der Küche hätten sauberer sein können und die Spülmaschine war leider defekt. Das waren auch schon die einzigen Kritikpunkte. Jannis hat sich rührend um uns gekümmert und immer wieder Kontakt aufgenommen. Das Haus liegt traumhaft am Ende einer Sackgasse und Google kennt den Weg dorthin nicht, aber die Wegbeschreibung von Jannis und Evi ist perfekt. Ein kleiner Tipp: ein Auto ist zwingend erforderlich! Alles in allem war es ein grossartiger Urlaub.

Blue horizon, relaxing guesthouse with pool
We came 5 people - my husband and I, with our 2 children and my mother-in-law. First of all, a few days before we arrived Elena (an amazing woman with a perfect english) contacted me and made sure she has all the details so she can prepare a perfect stay for us. The house was super clean and equipped, and the outside was the best! We spent hours in the pool enjoying the amazing nature around us. Elena and her husband Yiorgos are wonderful people - they were very kind, caring and responsive. We wish we could come again next summer 🙏🏻

Beautiful Villa with a Private Swimming Pool !
Alles super, wir haben und ind der Villa von Stylianos sehr wohl gefühlt. Auch hatten wir die Gelegenheit Ihn persönlich kennenzulernen. Auf Nachrichten hat er immer schnell geantwortet und super Tips gegeben. Eine Empfehlung unserer ganzen Gruppe ist noch das Restaurant Tsourlis. Das beste Restaurant in der Umgebung mit authentischer Küche, ausgezeichneten Service und mega günstigen Preisen.

La Luna Suites 2
La Luna Sweet to super miejsce dla wszystkich. Byłyśmy tam tydzień i było perfekt ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maria przywitała nas osobiście i zatroszczyła się o wszystko. Dziękujemy bardzo i życzymy temu miejscu cudownych gości

Stone Villa, near Heraklion
I would give this place 10 stars if I could. If you aren’t sure if you should stay here or not, I promise you will love the place. It’s beautiful and the host was there to help me and answer questions. He even came to meet me when I got lost so I could follow him to the house! The inside of the house is absolutely gorgeous. The host left us inside enough food, snacks, and beverages to last a week, which was such a pleasant surprise. I recommend renting a car as access to the city is not within walking distance but even in the neighborhood there are two small restaurants and a little convenience store practically right outside the gates of the house. Heraklion is fun and Crete is a beautiful place to rent a car and visit sites. Even balos beach is doable in one day from there if you plan ahead. Then there are other beaches much closer and easier like Voulisma to the east. Or you can take a beautiful drive through the mountains and eat a great with w a view. Much to do! House is perfect!

Hammam, Private Pool & Home Cinema - Green Sight
Wunderbare und toll eingerichtete Unterkunft mit allem was man braucht. Sehr modern eingerichtet. Und das Hammam ist absolut Premium. Auch die Lage ist sehr gut. Sehr nahe am Flughafen und der Stadt und trotzdem abgelegen und absolut ruhig. Zum Schluss lässt sich noch sagen, dass Georgios und seine Familie fantastische Gastgeber sind. Sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Waren immer erreichbar und haben alles ermöglicht, was machbar war. Wir werden jederzeit wieder kommen.

Charlise Luxury Villa by Cretevasion
Wij werden goed ontvangen! Angelina was een enorm fijne vrouw om mee te communiceren. De eerste avond bij aankomst kregen wij avondeten van haar, omdat we 24 uur vertraging hadden en de supermarkten niet open waren. Villa was erg schoon. Enige minpunt was de wifi in de villa. De verbinding was erg slecht en op een kamer had je helemaal geen verbinding. Nadat wij aangaven dat er geen wifi was vertelde ze dat het geregeld zou worden. Nadat wij dit hadden aangekaart waren wij nog 9 dagen in de villa. In die resterende tijd hebben we daar niks meer van terug gehoord. De taxi die werd aangeboden om ons te brengen was ook een goede taxi service. En alle andere activiteiten en services die werden aangeboden waren van hoge kwaliteit. De schoonmaaksters waren goed en grondig in hun werk waardoor de villa goed werd onderhouden. Kortom was op de wifi na het een hele fijne vakantie ervaring en een hele fijne host.

Pamela's house (private pool and spa)

Trinity Seaside Family Maisonette in Gournes
πολύ ωραία όλα, άνετο σπίτι καθαρω Μπράβο.

House by the sea 4 Seasons Villa *Private parking!
We had such a lovely time staying at Anna and Leandros' apartment. They were very accommodating about the possibility of an early check-in, and both gave us a very warm and friendly welcome when we arrived. The apartment was very clean, comfortable and cosy, with lovely spots to sit out too. It was the perfect base to explore this side of Crete. Anna and Leandros truly are two of the nicest people we have met. They made sure we had a wonderful time in Crete, giving us lots of suggestions for family activities, places to eat and sights to visit. Thank you for making Crete such a special holiday. We hope to see you again one day, it would be so lovely to meet up if you ever visit the UK :-).

Oasis luxury place
Το σπίτι ήταν υπέροχο , νέα έπιπλα με ωραίο στυλ , ο οικοδεσπότης ήταν εκεί σε ότι χρειάστηκα !!!

Blue Coast Garden Apartments - Juniper
Having stayed in the area before, a quiet location was the most important aspect for me along with easy access to the beaches and a short walk into Hersonnisos. I couldn't have wished for a better location. The apartment was quiet with little traffic noise, compact and clean. The nearest beach was just a few minutes walk away with cafes and restaurants next to the beach. Hersonnisos itself was about 15 mins easy walk. The garden was a perfect spot for some sunbathing on those lazy days when you didn't want to leave comforts of home. It was an ideal suntrap. I didn't need anything from George on my 10 days, staying at Blue Coast Gardens -Juniper. but he was within easy reach with a whole host of helpful numbers and contacts made available, should have needed to contact him. It was great having a large comfortable double bed with good quality bedding and Aircon if it got too hot at night. All the equipment provided was in great working order, the apartment spotlessly clean. Loved it!!

Comfy Housing Unit, Close To The Sea
A really nice and calm place with the beach in walking distance. Manos is a really friendly and relaxed person, who welcomed us warmly. Even when we locked ourselves out of the house, he was right there. Restaurants, a local supermarket with homemade honey and very good olive oil is just 5 minutes from the apartment. Would absolutely recommend! Thank you so much, we had a really great time!

Villa Elena - with private, heated swimming pool
We stayed at Villa Elena for a week. ( Family of five / three children age 8,11 and 14. The Villa was lovely - nicer than the photos. We loved the pool - great size, a bit bigger and deeper than expected. The view was was amazing, i miss it already. Beaches, restaurants and shops in walking distance. Everyone was so friendly. George was a brilliant host - very responsive and kind He spent time giving great recommendations which was very helpful. We loved our time in crete and would definitely recommend booking here.

Coast Suite-Luxury Central Beach House
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!

Steliana's House _Top Floor with Private Jacuzzi
Stella's Home was the most positive Airbnb experience I've ever had (and I've had some really lovely ones). The place is beautiful and the views are some of the best I've ever seen with the beach being only a 6 minute walk away. Stella was also an exceptional host. She stocked the fridge with some complementary groceries which made for a really positive start to our trip, especially after a day of traveling. It was also one of the most thoughtful things a host has done for one of my stays. Stella was also very communicative, checking in to make sure everything was going well for us and if we needed anything. The hot tub was amazing, the house was spotless and comfortable, the description of the space completely accurate. 5 days was not enough for us here and if I ever make it back to Crete, I will definitely be staying here again. Highly recommend!

Stunning house and free car
Firstly - I would like to thank the host for extremely easy check in and out, for fantastic communication and outstanding hospitality. Emmanuel’s place feels like home you never had, cause it’s five minutes walk from the beach, restaurants and shops but you are surrounded by locals, avocado trees and cocks waking you up in the morning. In the house you will find everything you need including comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, beach towels and many, many more. This is definitely one of those places you want to come back to.

Villa Melani
Wij verbleven anderhalve week in de woning van Vangelis. Het is een mooie woning op een hele fijne locatie. De vader van Vangelis ving ons op. Beide heren zijn ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Een aanrader voor iedereen.

House with private pool, isolated, unique view.
Nous avons passé une semaine dans la maison de Margarita. Celle-ci correspond parfaitement à l'annonce. C'est une maison "dans son jus", mais dans un cadre absolument incroyable, calme et finalement plutôt proche des sites à visiter. Margarita a été une hôte très gentille, accueillante et bienveillante. Elle vit à l'étage inférieur de la maison, mais reste très discrète. Son habitation possède des accès totalement indépendants. La vue depuis la pièce principale de la maison est fabuleuse, même chose depuis la terrasse et la piscine. Nous avons passé de longues heures à contempler les collines, la mer et les couchers de soleil. Nous recommandons cet endroit pour son côté unique. Même si la maison est un peu vieillotte, elle est agréable à habiter et confortable.

Marie Melie villa
Great villa with a great location near the main streets, the host was very welcoming and friendly. Everything was perfect, the pool and pool area are beautiful and clean. We went there with my friends and we had an amazing time. 100% recommend

Villa Fabrica-the old olive's mill.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Manoli’s! The house was stunning, nestled in a beautiful village that made our two-night stay even more special. The property was fully equipped with everything we needed, making it feel like a home away from home. The host was excellent, maintaining great communication. We also loved the nearby restaurant, which was superb and added to the overall experience. We truly had a great time and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

energy independence house
Un accueil au top, énormément de merveilleuses attentions de la part de Katerina et de son mari, un grand logement au calme... Pour mes premiers jours en Crète, ne parlant succinctement que l'anglais en dehors de ma langue maternelle, l'immersion semblait pourtant totalement et "simple". Je recommande vivement!

Serenity Villa with pool, Kalesa Heraklion
This home on a hillside outside of Ano Kalisha is spectacular. Ourfamily of six people had more than enough room in this spacious, very well-appointed home. Everything about it is first rate, and the location couldn’t be better. It sits on a hill overlooking hills festooned with olive farms and vineyards, with the sparkling blue Mediterranean providing background. A very large pool, perfectly maintained, will draw you and your family into the water all day. Yet you are only 15 minutes from Heraklion and Knossos. Also, Aris is the perfect host. He drove us to the house when we got to Ano Kalesha and was always on call for any questions that we had. I cannot recommend this house highly enough. I know that you will find that your stay here is one of your best memories of Crete.

Sofia's Sunny Home + Private Pool + Gym
We hebben een prachtige week gehad op deze locatie. In de gehele week zijn we eigenlijk nauwelijks het huis in geweest en hebben we vooral bij het zwembad en in de buitenruimte gezeten. De gehele week was het rond de 30 graden en we konden ons dus uitstekend vermaken. Alles was prima in orde en we zouden deze locatie zeker aanraden. Het huis zelf zag er ook keurig uit en was conform verwachting maar wij hebben dus geen gebruik gemaakt van de faciliteiten.
