Beachfront vacation rentals in Makry Gialos

Extremely quick response to our questions/concerns. Clean, very friendly service, everything you need. Good building structure.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming, quiet little apartment. The location was ideal—just a 5-minute walk to the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the sea whenever I wanted. The apartment was cozy, perfect for a peaceful getaway, and had everything I needed. Penelope was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. She offered fantastic local recommendations, from restaurants to hidden gems nearby, and were always responsive and helpful whenever we had a question. A sweet bonus was Sisi, the adorable resident cat! She made us feel even more at home with her cute personality. I’d highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and experience Crete like a local. Would definitely return!"

I had such a good time here. The place is exactly as advertised and I felt right at home (with a bit of help from Sisi the cat). Pinelopi had so many great tips for me on what to do, and I did many of them and they were all great! I especially enjoyed all the hikes in the gorges. I’ll come back in a warmer month to visit the beautiful beaches around the apartment!

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay! In this family home, we immediately felt welcome. The kitchen is well equipped and the garden full with fruits. Our children found a little playground, some toys and stuff for the beach. The little village is easy to reach and offers good and chilled restaurants. Even at the end of October/beginning of November we could swim in the sea - the south is much warmer than the north. Within an hour there are some really nice hiking routes. We will come back :-)

The property offers a beautiful view and is perfectly located in Elounda to reach restaurants and shopping, only the parking is just outside!

great place, perfect for a familh as well. A short walk to the beach and local taverns. A short drive to Agios Nicholas with great shopping and city walking.

I felt very comfortable at the place Manos is a great host who responds quickly to questions, gives great tips for excursions and receives you very kindly with raki and cookies. the accommodation is as described and very comfortable. The balcony is mega cozy, the bed upstairs just for snuggling in. In the kitchen there is everything you need without being overloaded. The washing machine served me well after the many hikes. To reach the area easily, I recommend a rental car. And as the many before me wrote: Manos is a very warm host. I would definitely recommend the place. Thanks for the wonderful time in Koutsouras! 🙂

We had a lovely stay at Mapia's home, everything was what we were expecting with the added bonus of meeting Mapia's parents and other members of extended family. They were all available if we had any problems (we didn't) but not intruding at all. George another family member, introduced himself and we could go to him if we had any questions. A lovely relaxing holiday, thank you Mapia 😊

An absolute dream vacation! The location right on the beach could not be better, and the roof terrace was the highlight of my stay – I spent every day there. René and Nadine are top hosts, and Georgios on site welcomed me warmly and gave me a great briefing. The tips I got made my stay even better – they were really worth their weight in gold. The penthouse is perfectly equipped and offers everything you need for an all-round successful vacation. The location of the penthouse is just perfect – right by the sea and within walking distance of charming cafes and restaurants. The surrounding area also offers many sandy beaches. Particularly noteworthy is how accommodating René and Nadine were: They allowed me to arrive earlier and depart later, which made my stay even more relaxed. Absolutely recommended! I will definitely come back and can only warmly recommend this Airbnb

We were amazed by this property! Both the property itself and the amazing view were extraordinarily beautiful! It was like paradise! And Konstantinos was very responsive and helpful during our stay.

The place was very luxuiriousy

Our stay was very pleasant. Maria very helpful and very friendly. The apartment is very clean easily accessible and with very nice style in terms of aesthetics and practicality at the same time. Definitely a super choice if you want to stay in Agio and be in a nodal point with a sea view.

remarkable and very well thought-out architecture; the building materials are of quality and the space is maximized. The whole place offers plenty of comfort. Marilou is very attentive to ensure impeccable service: many products provided, very regular maintenance, cleaning and linen change. We would highly recommend.

The place was clean, modern and we loved the proximity to the beach. It was nice to have fruits, wine and crackers provided as we arrived late in the evening. The swimming pool was also excellent. I would love to come back!

It was wonderful, the boys and I loved the fire and outdoor whirl, but also the beautiful rural setting and the starry night sky. Even homemade baked goods were brought to us. They were very lovely hosts. Thank you.

It was my third time staying at Millys House and it was just wonderful again. ☺️ Location, accommodation, beautiful neighborhood with great bars and restaurants (and friendly cats) - it was all very nice. Very good contact or communication with the landlord, inquiries were answered very quickly. We will definitely visit again! The area is a dream - and Millys House with the nice seating under the tree in front is very cozy. Thanks and best regards, Petra & Jürgen

A wonderful stay in a charming garden house. It has a great location, close to the city yet peaceful and quiet. There's ALWAYS hot water in the shower. The nearest beach is just a 5-minute walk along a sidewalk. A 10-minute drive will take you to the magical Vulisma Beach, with its incredible water color and afternoon shade from the cliff—perfect for those who prefer to avoid the sun. The host is amazing and always ready to assist her guests. The house is in a garden, so sometimes ants might visit, but we found insect repellent in the house and used it.

We had a great time in Mochlos, a really beautiful village, it’s still a hidden gem I would say. The apartment was lovely, cosy and comfortable, the bar next door was actually really nice and we sat there many times. Recommendation!

Beautiful and secluded spot and Melina’s parents, who met us at the property, couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful! Don’t be put off by the greenhouses in the area, as they are not visible from the property. Our children loved being able to play on the beach and the area outside the apartment, and the Mr Man books were also a big hit! Myrtos is the nearest village and is very pretty with some great places to eat. Thank you Melina, Eva and Nicholas for a wonderful week!

We had a great stay at Matina’s place. It’s very comfortable and spacious. We loved the location, with some restaurants, small beach and our favourite Kimzu Sea Lounge just a couple of minutes walk away. For those that like a bit of exercise you can use the running track which is also very close. It’s also only about 10 minutes walk to the town and the lake. Check in and check out was very easy and the host was always available for any questions. Would definitely stay here again if we return to the area.

Beautiful apartment centrally located in Elounda. The beds are very comfortable and bedding excellent. It was nice having terraces on both sides of the apartment, and we liked the private entrance. We would definitely book this place again, it was perfect!

Fabulous, as it has been for the last 4 years of staying here.

We were very well received by Dimitris who kindly offered us raki and wine. He recommended various restaurants and even offered to book for us. The kitchen is functional with the essentials. The setting is beautiful and peaceful. Private access to the sea is a plus. I would highly recommend this place to stay
