Vacation rentals with beach access in Istro

Poppy was amazing. So helpful, flexible and very friendly. The apartment is wonderful. Beautiful views and great location for the town and the beach. Perfect for two people, clean, modern and very comfortable. Poppy helped us with everything we needed. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be staying again. Thank you Poppy 😊

Outstanding location, many place to eat and shop. It’s steps away from the beach and the roof top patio is spacious and beautiful. Lots of public transit but we chose to rent a car to enjoy the whole island. Would highly recommend this apartment. Host was very helpful.

Filio's apartment is in a quiet, beautiful and cozy coastal village with some great restaurants, a studio of someone who works wood, and a nice shop. We felt right at home there! You can swim and snorkel in various places (we saw many different fish, crabs, sea urchins (which indicates pure water). Everything within walking distance. The accommodation itself had everything we needed: fresh bedding, towels, kitchen utensils, and a lovely terrace to have breakfast on. We had a wonderful time there!

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment has the best views. In the middle of everything you need in Plaka, great restaurants and shop 50 yds away. I will visit again next year again in October. Thanks Lilly.

We had the pleasure of staying in Rena's apartment from 5/26 to 6/2/25 and it was a fantastic experience! The apartment was as described but the view from the terrace also exceeded expectations! Unfortunately, we were unable to meet Rena in person, but she was always available for all our requests. She had warned us in advance that the village market would still be closed, so we could stock up on groceries before arriving, but she still made sure we had everything we needed in the house (thank you again!). In the house, there are all kinds of useful accessories for the kitchen, but also some thoughtful touches that I have never found on other occasions! The road to this small village is quite winding, but we felt so good there that we only moved once. There are 2/3 beaches (where we were often alone) reachable by a nice walk in the middle of nowhere breathing the scent of oregano! We hope to be back!

We really enjojed staying at the apartment. The beach is very beautiful and private in September.

Every aspect was wonderful! Close to everything with car but absolutely private and everyone there is like family. Above and beyond for sure

We had a fantastic time in Michael's apartment. We didn't lack anything. Shopping and restaurants are nearby. We were happy and satisfied. Thanks Michail!

We had the best time staying at the apartment. We were two adults and a child and it was perfect for us. Everything was exactly as in the pictures and the apartment is even bigger than I expected. Especially the beautiful patio. The small kitchen is well stocked and we had everything we needed. One can hear the road, so just bring your earplugs if you think it may bother you. There are mosquitoes nets and shades/curtains on all the windows which allowed us to keep them open at nights and sleep longer in the mornings. Other than the apartment itself, Pinelopi is the best host I have ever met on Airbnb. She took care of everything we needed, even before we asked. We felt right at home with her and we're very sad when it was time to go. We will always be happy to come and stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at this accommodation! The highlight was definitely the beautiful terrace with its stunning sea view – the perfect spot to start or end the day. The location is also excellent, with many lovely restaurants within walking distance, which we truly appreciated. It was also a great base for exploring the area by car. The designated parking spot is about 200–300 meters away – during our stay, there was always something available, so it worked out just fine. All in all, a wonderful place that we would happily recommend!

We enjoyed our accommodation very much during these few days! The accommodation is clean, functional, very well-equipped and the host is very responsive. What can I say about the two beautiful exteriors! The large roof terrace for resting in the shade in complete privacy with sea views. The small terrace in front of the house is incredible, with your feet in the water. The house is in a very good location, a few meters from the city center and the bar next door is a real asset for having a drink or a meal from our own terrace. A little gem just like the city of Mochlos.

little slice of heaven with breathtaking views, even better than in photos. Charming little house perched on the mountain. Charming decor. The essentials of comfort are here! Ideal for lovers of a quiet and unique area. Access by a narrow and stony path.(Access to paradise is earned!) Very warm welcome with an excellent home-cooked meal. Too bad we had 2 days of bad weather, (jacuzzi out of service) we would have come close to absolute perfection!!

We had a fantastic stay also thanks to our great host Popi, responded quickly to our questions and always came up with a solution. Accommodation was super clean and everything a person needs during his vacation. 2 terraces one at the front and one at the back with spectacular views over the bay of Agios Nickolaos. Furthermore, it is also the perfect place to make trips to the east side of Crete. A car is recommended here. Tip: drive to the idyllic town of Mochlos. Popi thank you for your hospitality, you were a lovely host and hopefully see you soon.

The stay was great. The location with this beautiful view directly on the sea was outstanding! We felt like at home and the children loved it too. We were always able to reach out to Karolos and he gave us great tips for restaurants and things to do. We'd come back in a heartbeat!

Great location overlooking the harbour. Vibrant esplanade with outdoor seating area to enjoy the ambiance. The apartment was in close proximity to public parking, shops and restaurants- 2-3 minutes walk. Spacious 2 storey apartment with a nice master bedroom suite upstairs and balcony and fully functional kitchen and facilities and second bedroom on the ground floor.

Had an absolutely beautiful stay at this apartment. The location is absolutely perfect for a relaxing get away. The property is really well equipped and has everything you could need. Maria was super friendly, responsive and communicated really well throughout our visit. We visited just before the main season and Mochlos was quiet and sleepy, just waking up. You'll need a car if you want to explore the island from here. Cannot recommend this property enough - we just had the most lovely time.

We just stayed for one night. It was a great stay and the apartment has everything that you might need, coffee machine, washing machine etc. We were welcomed with some Raki and bottled water. Internet worked well. Loved it

Eleftheria, Gianni's wife, gave us a lovely warm welcome and gave us lots of useful information about the area on the first day. The flat overlooks the marina and so has a wonderful view. Perfect location, well equipped kitchen and would highly recommend. We had a great time in Agios Nikolaos.

We had an amazing time. Manolis is very helpful and friendly. He gave us some great recommendations of beaches to go to and restaurants. The apartment is in a great location. It has everything you need and is really nicely decorated and very clean. If we end up in Agios Nikolaos again we will definitely stay there again

Beautiful spacious apartment with great modern design and with a unique sea view from the balcony (sea only about 20 meters away). Everything you need. The landlord is extremely friendly and always available. We felt very comfortable. There are lots of good restaurants in the area, all within walking distance. The free parking by the sea was also perfect. From there, you only need 5 minutes to the apartment. The beautiful bar near the bedrooms was always well attended and accordingly it was loud there until late at night. It's a matter of taste, but the beds were too hard for us. Otherwise, absolutely recommended! We felt very comfortable and always had a cozy breakfast on the balcony.

Lovely apartment, very well equipped in a great location. Antonia our host was brilliant and responded immediately to questions we had. Welcome gift of food/drink was very much appreciated.

Nice apartment. The guidebook sent by Nikos proved to be very useful and reliable.

amazing stay in crete! my husband and I couldn't be happier!

We stayed one night at Alexis’ apartment before we head to Chania, it’s a cosy and quiet place, close to everything, Alexis is very supportive and responsive, giving some good suggestions for local restaurants, we tried two, both are great, thanks for the local advices, giving us some unforgettable experience here.
