Waterfront vacation rentals in Kato Gouves

This property was amazing! Michael met us to let us in and give us the keys. He went through details of the home in detail and also provided helpful recommendations for local restaurants, beaches, etc. We were very comfortable. The furniture and amenities made us feel at home. The most amazing aspect of the home was the huge balcony with view of the entire ocean! I could sit out there for hours! Overall, this property is well worth the money. I would stay here again for sure. Ευχαριστούμε πάρα πολύ, Μιχάλη!

A really lovely, pristine apartment 15-20 minutes walk from central Heraklion. Gorgeous pool, (though weather meant we didn't spend too much time in it!, beautifully presented and all amenities we required. Host was very responsive and came over very quick to sort out our initial issue with connecting to the internet.

It was perfect. Very very friendly host and a great studio with direct views of the sea. Clean and large. Many nice touches in the fridge when we arrived. Thanks a lot for that. The location is perfect with restaurants and a mini-market nearby. Air conditioning works very well. Beautiful bathroom. In the kitchen it has everything you need. (Sandwich maker, toaster, kettle, hotplate, filter coffee maker) We were in Stalis for the third time. This room was the best of all.

Great apartment with a view of beach and sea. Very quiet and relaxing neighborhood.

A truly fantastic place to stay. Exceptionally well stocked apartment with absolutely everything you would need for a long or short stay. Close to lots of restaurants, but well stocked kitchen if you prefer to cook. Beautiful terrace for dining, both undercover and outside. Host Viky is charming and friendly and could not be more helpful. We hope to return another time.

Very friendly host, clean apartment, everything necessary is available in the kitchen. The apartment has air conditioning and is at the entrance of the town, great if you want to be on the bus quickly. Next to the apartment door, there is a small supermarket and rental car shop. Beach not far away. Bali is a very quiet beautiful yet touristy place. From the apartment to the last bay, you walk half an hour totally OK! Gladly again :-)

We are the family of 3 and we had a great stay at Charis's apartment. The place is very big, beds and linens super comfy, towels, bath supplies - like a top end hotel! Kitchen with all you need if you want to cook. My favourite spot was the balcony with comfy furniture to have a morning coffee or to admire stunning sunsets (I think I took like 300 photos). Underground parking was a plus for us as we had a car. The place is outside the old city, but the parking is really cheap (3 euros for a full day at the Marina) or you can take a 15 min walk. Charis is an amazing host. All communication was perfect. He left us candie and Easter specialties to try. last but mot least, as we arrived late on Easter Sunday, he picked up groceries for us as most places were closed. Thank you again Charis. I cannot recommend the place and the host enough. We did not want to leave and hope to be back!

We had an amazing stay here. Breakfast with a view and a nice small town with everything you might need.

Beautiful apartment in a great location with a large balcony (but without sun). We felt very comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay. Harry was very responsive and friendly. The house was really nice, just as described, and had everything we needed. The view is beautiful—if you wake up early, you can see the sun rise right in the center of the big window and watch it move all the way up. The location is good. We did hear some highway noise, and there was a friendly group of dogs that barked in the morning. But at least you could pet them they were sweet. The hot tub was nice. Although we didn’t use it as much as we thought we would. It’s on the roof, and since the house has a central spiral staircase, you need to come down it to get back inside. That made it a bit tricky with wet feet and the April nights were a bit too chilly to stay on the roof for too long after the tub. But we really enjoyed using the BBQ. Overall, we had a great time. Harry’s hospitality was top notch.

Highly recommend! A quiet area, close to everything. We stayed here start of October with our 14 yr old and 3 month old son. The apartment looks like the photos, very clean andy tidy. Very comfortable bed, was huge 💛. We had asked for a cot, which was there. The pool was lovely, very refreshing, solar heated. We were the only ones using it, due to out of main season, an unexpected luxury. The beach is a mix of sand and stones, literally just outside the gate. Within 10 mins walk is a supermarket, pharmacies, a patisserie with huge pain au chocolates - highly recommend, they also had pastries (cheese and bacon, mushroom and ham etc). If you walk along the sea front for about 20mins get into Gournes which has several beach bars, and restaurants/ cafes, we went to Taverna ambrosia, very good even had a baby change area (not everywhere has these) and soft play at the back. It’s a 45 min walk to the Creta aquarium, definitely worth a see. Ioannis arranged several taxis for us.

Nikos was an out standing host - the property was second to none - really pleased I stayed - if I ever go back to Crete, I will definitely stay at this property - thanks again Nikos for being so friendly and helpful, bo5h you and your wife - by far the best Airbnb I've ever stayed at.

Only stayed for one night but this was a good place to stay. It is a bit small for two grown ups and two kids but if you keep things organized it's still a pleasant stay. WiFi was way too slow for remote work but connecting my laptop to my phone's hotspot saved the day. Maria was very friendly and helpful so this place is definitely a good option for couples and even families who don't need big indoor spaces.

It was one of the best places we visited. The place is new and has everything you need. It was very clean, the view was incredible, and communication and support were excellent. The grill was also great. Thank you so much for the wonderful vacation!

Olga and her family are very kind people. The hospitality is exemplary. Her mom Helene prepared Greek specialties for us for the duration of our stay. Through her knowledge we were also able to attend shows of typical dances of the region. I recommend this destination without any issues. We will also go back to deepen our discovery of this Greek island.

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!

George was a great help from start to finish! It was beautiful, clean and in a good location in the area. All the little touches, directions and help from George were more than enough. A wonderful host, we recommend it! Thank you 🙏🏼

A little gem on the waterfront, the 😁 apartment is very clean, well-appointed and above all very warm. The sea view is great and hearing the sound of the waves day and night is very soothing. The photos are consistent with reality and Vasilis was a very responsive and available host. In addition, he had planned a welcome pack of food and drink which proved very convenient for our stay. A nice touch on his part. The small store at Dimitri's just across the street is also ideal for a quick fix or a good morning coffee. In any case, plan to have a car if you want to go to restaurants (there are plenty in Agia Pelagia). A very good stay for us in this apartment which we would recommend in a second 😊

We had a super lovely time at Petros Apartment. He was a great Host and made us feel very welcome! And his wine was delicious ;)

We stayed at Sonia's place in March and had a wonderful peaceful stay! Thank you Sonia for everything!

We really enjoyed being guest at Dimitris place. The apartment is very cosy and welcoming. The kitchen was very well equipped (oil, vinegar, spices, sugar, coffee).

The apartment is perfectly located to explore the island, you are in the center of the island, immediately on the highway (recommendation: before moving in, be sure to practice driving backwards to the mountain!!) and yet the apartment is very quiet and has a great view of the sea. Especially the small balcony directly above the sea appealed to us, even if it might be a little too hot/not shaded in summer. Here you can also quickly make friends with the 4 cats, who occasionally also drive the neighbor dog to whiteness. Those who are afraid of cats should prefer to look for another apartment with these attached specimens, cat lovers will love it. Marianna's mother is a good soul, bringing eggs from the in-house chickens as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. All in all for us the perfect place to combine exploring the island with relaxation.

Very nice and clean place. Maria is responsive and always want to help.

Wonderful place to stay. Right on the beach. Nikos and his father were there whenever we needed them and very attentive. Highly Recommended, as is Nikos restaurant, Libre, the best on the beach by a long way!
