Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Judean Foothills

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this incredible apartment in Jerusalem, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I felt like I had found a peaceful oasis in the heart of a bustling city. The location is simply unbeatable—just a short stroll to the vibrant Machane Yehuda Market, where you can enjoy everything from delicious food to lively nightlife. Yet, despite being so central, the apartment itself is quiet and serene, tucked away in the charming Saidoff complex. The apartment was sparkling clean and thoughtfully designed, with every detail taken care of to ensure a comfortable stay. The floral courtyard is breathtaking, and I loved starting my mornings on the private balcony, overlooking this little slice of paradise. I also took full advantage of the amenities! The pool and sauna were fantastic for unwinding after a day of exploring, and having access to a gym and private parking made everything so convenient. I would absolutely stay here again!

Was great apartment. Would definitely recommend and use again

No blackout in the living room, tough to sleep (my son had a hard time) in early morning hours

Thanks for this amazing location and place.

Great location! Two minute walk to the beach. Convenient to lots of great restaurants. Spacious apartment with all the amenities we needed for the week.

yoel is amazing! what a host! this is not the first rime we've stayed here nor will it be our last. we loved everything about the stay. there were some unexpected hiccups that happened that yoel had no control over (like unexpected construction) and yoel immediately took care of it and checked in every day to make sure we weren't bothered by it. Definitely recommend!

The location can’t be beat. The rooms and beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the balcony. Would rent again!

Iris is a wonderful host and the apartment is beautifully set up, in a great location, with a delightful view balcony. Compact apartment with a well organized kitchenette and supplies. Iris is a super friendly and responsive host and was able to help guide us in for easier parking, and answer any questions quickly. Amazing location ! - very very close to beach and next door to the Marina and all its restaurants and shops . We highly recommend Iris’ Apartment for your stay in Ashkelon!

The apartment is located near town and a great location near restaurants and stores. The apartment was clean and the communal area was excellent for entertaining Shabbos with family. There are plenty of chairs and a large dinning room table. There is a large fridge and a big spacious kitchen counter/island. It was hard to get in at first with the parking lot needing a remote and figuring out which remote to use to get inside the building from the garage. It was also hard to get out of building after we left the remote in the apartment the day that we checked out. It’s helpful to have at least two people when checking in and out and perhaps more detailed instructions about check in and check out.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Yelena's place. The place is a real gem, offering a stunning view of the Mediterranean Sea. The building is lovely, and the apartment is fully equipped and very clean. Yelena was always available to answer our questions and cater to our needs. On the street level, there are numerous restaurants and 24/7 markets, which was very convenient. We highly recommend this place and will consider returning in the future. Yelena is an excellent host.

Elinore was very accommodating and responsive. I had a layover for a flight with awkward check-in and checkout time and she made me feel right at home with a late check-out. She was very responsive and always available to reach out to. The place is like the photos, no hidden surprises. I was only there for one night but the bathroom was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the wifi and aircon worked flawlessly. Would reccomend. Oh and the massage chair is a great bonus

Michal is a very good and responsible host. We felt very welcome to her appartment. The appartment and the view from the appartment was very nice. The location was fantastic.

Very cool appartment. Good with 2 bathrooms. Close to Nice restaurants and Tel-Aviv /Jaffo. And the beach. I really enjoyed the terasse. And a well equipped citchen. I will defenatly come back. Serge Was also a very Nice host. If you needed him, ore had any questions.

We had a fabulous experience with our stay in this apt. It is fully equipped with useful items for the beach and pool, and with supplies for children (baby bath tub, crib, bed rail, hi chair, infant bounce seat). This is a beautifully furnished and clean apt. Sarah and Elad were incredibly responsive and helpful.

Michal is a wonderful host — warm, welcoming, and attentive. We had a fantastic time staying at his place. We're a family of five with three young children, and the space was perfect for our needs. It was comfortable, well-equipped, and made our stay truly enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Great place. Equipped with investment. Amazing attitude from a gardener. Highly recommend!!

Great place to stay. Clean, nice, great hosts!

We had a wonderful time at Zipi's place. The house and the garden are beautiful. The area is quiet and relaxing. Zipi was a wonderful host. She was very helpful and recommend about things to do. Our stay at her place was the highlight of our trip. Thank you Zipi.

Staying with Ahmad’s family is an experience I will treasure and remember for as long as I live. I mainly hung out with Nader, the father, he walked me around the camp and spoke in Arabic and I spoke in English and Spanish and at times we’d understand each other, most of the time we didn’t, which made it more fun. We played billiards with the wonderful neighbors, I ate the mother’s incredible cooking (the best food I’ve had in Palestine without exaggeration. I can’t imagine I’ll have better meals). Ahmad was in Italy when I arrived, but he was attentive to me in a way that he felt like a genie or some ethereal figure that could bring ease and comfort. I will never forget Dheisheh Refugee Camp and its kind people. I felt accepted and loved in a way that I’ve never felt before in the United States. The room was great, clean, comfortable bed, but these details feel irrelevant to how lovely the people are. I can’t wait to come back, and without hesitation I’d be staying at Ahmad’s.

We loved staying in Michal and Barak’s enchanting home. We also loved the large garden even though we visited in winter. Their spacious artistic home is very close to restaurants and our favorite theater on Emek and walking distance to Ben Yehuda and the old city. We were very comfortable and our hosts were extremely welcoming and responsive. This was a great stay!

This is beyond perfect if you happen to be studying at the Hartman Institute. It's also ideal for families with kids - our twins loved the bunk beds (with trundle option!) - including washer/dryer, spaciousness for indoor play, and proximity to parks in all directions. We loved spending 3+ weeks in this beautiful home.
