‘NOA’beautiful beachfront&seaview apartment
Perfect location nr beach. Quiet and relaxing. Everything on hand. Easy parking. Thanks

Cozy studio at the very seaside
The house is a small beachfront gem in a lovely village. We especially appreciated the privacy of the outdoor space surrounded by plants, the crystal clear sea, and the stone and concrete beach right in front of the house. Our dog had a great time and was able to swim in full freedom. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation and for your stay.

Apartman 1 Kate, Novalja
I stayed in Katarina's Bnb for a week with 3 of my friends and the experience was great! The apartment was clean and very cozy and we immediately felt at home. Another big plus is the location, very close to the beach, and a fantastic sea view from the balcony. We greatly appreciated the hospitality and helpfulness of Katarina and her daughter who answered all our questions. I highly recommend this Bnb!

5 Min from Beach • Surrounded by Nature • A1
The apartment is beautiful, very stylishly decorated and there is everything you need. The view of the sea (we moved the terrace furniture a bit so that we can look towards the sea) and the nature in the area is very nice. The place is quiet and peaceful. Vedran was very helpful and friendly. He always responded quickly to questions and gave us many recommendations for beaches, restaurants and shopping. Burcu, the woman who was on site, is very helpful and sweet. The beach a few minutes away was perfect for us for swimming before breakfast, after which we mostly looked for and found a "lonely" bay :-) it was wonderful. The water is crystal clear. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back. Thanks to Vedran, Burcu and his family

Apartment Danijela No. 2
I visited Danijela's place with two friends. We were very excited about the place itself and the location. We felt very comfortable. The apartment has a very nice terrace with a fantastic view, where we spent a few hours. Right next to the entrance is a small, very delicious bakery and a supermarket is also directly across the street. Danijela is a very nice hostess who was always easily accessible and helped with questions. We felt very comfortable and can only recommend the place!

Studio near the beach with sea view
Apartment was very clean and we had warm welcome from Miran. Place and surrounding is quiet and peaceful with magic view from the apartment to the sea, sunsets and very close to the sea! Miran and Sanja were very kind and helpful to us, also communication was great. Miran give for our stay in the apartment child crib for our small child - this was our special requirement. I totaly recommend Miran and Sanja's apartment for holliday stay.

New modern apartment 50 m from the sea
Beautiful place to stay, there was everything you needed. Clean, only 50 meters to the beach, Michaela was really super nice and always available when you wanted to reach her. A few restaurants nearby, quiet location, would keep coming back, was super great.

!! NEW !! Quietly located apartment with sea views
Nice location with beautiful beaches with clear water, the nearest ones located 5-10 minutes from the apartment, but the ways are a bit rocky with steep stairs etc... Flip flops are not the best shoes to wear if you want to reach the beaches. Apartment was nice and clean with basically everything you need.

D-tree house - luxury cottage with heated pool
The information was proactively forwarded by Julio. The property is in a very good location with public sea access as well as a car ride of about 10 minutes to Novalja. The place itself is as pictured - super quiet and beautiful. In addition, there is the possibility to enjoy a beautiful view of the sea and the sunset from the terrace. Thanks so much for the nice vacation Julio and the commitment!

Holiday apartment "Marin"
This location and apartment was beautiful. It had a great ocean view and walkable beach. We only stayed one night, but would’ve loved to stay one more. The place was clean. I loved how there was 2 full bathrooms! The host recommended a great restaurant for pizza and burgers only 6min drive away. The host was very responsive and friendly.

Villa Grioni, beach front villa with jacuzzi
The location was just awesome – central yet quiet. Everything was very clean and every detail was really thought out to make the stay pleasant. The surroundings are beautiful, perfect for walks or explorations. I would particularly like to highlight the owner, who was extremely friendly and helpful. I felt completely comfortable and would definitely come back.

'Gaj' Beach Apartment
All in all we had a very pleasant stay.The accommodation was very clean and looked exactly as it did in the photos and description.Bojan himself wasn't there, so his mother took care of everything on site.However, you could always reach him directly and ask questions and get an answer within an hour.The accommodation is not particularly luxurious but for us as party holidaymakers it was completely sufficient.

"Figurica" House by the sea with 5 bedrooms
Our stay at Figurica was wonderful. Being right at the beach, with beautiful view and a very well equipped, large villa was a treat. Luciana and her husband were really kind and helpful. We would love to be back again!

Seafront apartment for (2+1) + indoor pool
Great place, place, beach by the apartment, apartment location. The only problem was with the neighbors above us, who unfortunately couldn't keep the quiet hours, and so 2 nights were intermittent sleep. On the other hand, the nightlife to this city probably currently belongs :-)

Beautiful House in village, 50m from the beach
We had the pleasure of renting Danijela's house and it was an exceptional experience. The house was incredibly well-equipped, providing us with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights of the property was the beautiful garden, which offered plenty of shade and a serene atmosphere to relax in. Another major advantage of our stay was the proximity to the beach, which was just a stone's throw away. What made it even better was that the beach was perfect for kids, making it an ideal family destination. Danijela was an incredibly helpful and friendly host who was always available to assist us. She not only provided valuable trip advice but also shared a fascinating historical overview of the place, Kosljun, which enriched our understanding of the area. Overall, our stay at Danijela's place was nothing short of fantastic, and it's a place we would absolutely love to visit again.

Beautiful house near Zrće beach/Novalja/Gajac
A great house close to all the amenities and yet secluded, where you have your privacy and don't even have to move from the house. The hostess Karla was extremely helpful and sweet! 10/10

Family-friendly apartment - 1st row sea
Me and my family really enjoyed our stay at Ilija's apartment :) Great location, bakery and shop is near, private beach, clear water. Ilija is amazing host! The apartment is big enough and has a great view from terrace. Thank you for a really nice trip!

Seaside studio
this place was wonderful. Just 50m from the beach, a grocery store right next door, lovely terrace, and walking distance to the old town of Rav. Katrine was a gracious host who gave us local tips and was very friendly. I definitely recommend this place and would come back in a heartbeat :)

Season4All
Very hospitable host, gave us great tips for the area. Furniture and equipment of the bathrooms to the highest standard. We felt very comfortable. Child-friendly. Right on the beautiful harbor promenade. All appliances incl. washing machine worked well. The son welcomed us and showed the apartment, lives on the upper floor of the house. Croatian channels can be received in the TV, available via SmartTV apps such as Netflix and TV apps. Have rented for 7 Eur per day a parking space from the landlord 100 m away on the promenade.

Aqua Blue 3
Beautiful, modern, exclusive, spacious apartment, perfectly located on the water next to the promenade. Very well-equipped, smart tv in each bedroom, clean towels, good linens, nice tableware, available chemistry, washing machine, sun loungers all made the stay more enjoyable. Great communication and lovely Mr. Josip, who brought his private hdmi cable on Christmas day, I appreciate and thank you. Close to grocery store, peace and quiet. Recommended

Fantastic apartment right by the sea
Quiet and peaceful location with almost private lagoon. Place is modern, equipped with everything you will ever need for your vacation. Overall, a very pleasant experience… can’t really complain about anything.

• Enjoy Seafront 4* ~ Look&book!
We felt very comfortable - the apartment was clean, spacious and modern. We loved the terrace with the wonderful view of the sea and the sunset.

We will be happy to come back!
