Beachfront vacation rentals in Makry Gialos

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!

The apartment was ideally located, very close to the beach and restaurants, but we were not disturbed by any noise whatsoever. Plenty of space for a couple and a small child. The outdoor terrace has a good view of the sea. Magdalena was the perfect host, arranging transport to and from the airport and quickly responded to any questions we had. We basically had a very good time and will hopefully return in the future.

Modern construction and large, quiet with good aircon . Janika helpful in every way.

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

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.

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

went with my family for 1 week everything was great!!! we definitely recommend and also next year will be back for sure just wanna thank one more time to Magdalena and Vasilis for everything

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.

House impeccable as in the listing, close to shops, restaurants, beaches, main road. La canée, Gorges de samaria 5 hours by car. We had a great time. Thank you.

Thank you so much for hosting us! Our 3 children, my wife and I felt right at home in your beautiful spacious apartment. It is very well equipped. The ceilings are very high. 2 bathrooms, 2 terraces, 3 sleeping rooms and one spacious living room kitchen. We didn't miss anything. It's very cozy. And on super hot days the 3(!) air conditions work miracles :) a lovely little sandy beach is right across the street. the water is sensationally clear. tavernas and a coffeeshop are right away in walking distance. so is a Pizzeria. it's also very convenient to have a family run well equipped beautiful minimarket so close. even though your place is so central, it's really quiet. we really loved to be at your apartment! thank you Alex & Maria & your kind family for your hospitality! We are looking forward to come again! Alex & Sonja & kids

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 heavenly location, perfect for relaxing. Stunning views with only a short walk to the sea and town. Ioannis was a marvellous host, very helpful, friendly and informative. We couldn’t have asked for a better holiday.

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!

The place was very good, matching the descriptions and the photos. It is very easy to walk to the local beach or if you have a car, the drive to other beaches or the high road isn't long at all. The host was very helpful and super responsive to our messages. Great experience overall!

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!

Great location, great hosts! A contact person on site at all times and fast communication. There are lots of free parking around the apartment. Gladly come again!
