Vacation rentals with beach access in Panormos in Rethymno

I really enjoyed my two nights in this apartment. It felt like home and the host could not have been nicer. He offered local recommendations and even offered a late check-out since it was off season. The apartment is a block from the beach, very comfortable, and has anything you would need. It's a 15-20 minute walk into old town, but plenty nearby for food or necessities.

We would stay at Olga’s place again. Olga was very quick to respond and accommodating.

It was just great. Sea view from front balcony amazing- and second upstairs balcony very peaceful and warm (south facing) with nice views of mountains. Really near all shops and restaurants. Marinos so helpful and he. I was on my own and he arranged for his friend Xenofon to collect me from the airport and that worked really well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Miros! We came during the off-season so the area was pretty quiet and peaceful. The balcony at the front has a beautiful view. Miros was so friendly, helpful and an incredibly generous host. He communicated very proactively and was flexible with check in/out when our flights experienced changes. Thanks for a lovely stay in Agia Pelagia!

Very clean room but a bad smell in the bathroom but in general very nice and quiet area

Nikos’s place is a dream! It’s in such a wonderful location, the views to the beach are incredible!!!!! It’s big and well kept. It would be great to have another bathroom, but it really wasn’t such an issue. There’s also a cafe next door which plays music all day, but not loud and kinda nice back ground chilled sounds while sunbathing on the incredibly terrace garden. Would totally 100% stay there again.

Very beautiful space, clean and in agreement with the photos. The home is very centrally located, where you can go to everything on foot and with public parking across the street, the host provided all the information I needed and my questions, as well as we had an update to check in even earlier than intended. I'll definitely go for it again at my next check-in!

Sparkling clean, nothing was missing, everything was as it should be. Great communication with the host, I highly recommend it. On my future trip to Rethymno I would definitely choose it for a stay

Had a great time visiting Crete...Agia Pelagia is a fab place to stay, it's a bit of a walk up a steep hill coming back from the sea front...but unless you have mobility problems don't let it put you off.

Niki is a lovely host, happy to help with anything and very friendly. The home is nice, cool during the hot days and in good location near the beach and supermarket. I would stay there again!

I really enjoyed staying here. The view, the tranquility and in general the apartment was a dream to be in. I felt right at home and didn't want to leave. Always happy to come back. Highly recommend this property.

We had a fantastic stay at Seaside Villa Lavrys. The villa itself is spacious, well-maintained, and located in a peaceful area with a lovely view. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, but do keep in mind that you’ll need a car to get around as the location is a bit remote. Taxi transportation from Chania costs around €30. What truly made our experience special was our host, Alex. From the moment we booked, Alex was incredibly responsive and attentive, always available to answer any questions we had. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay, offering great local tips and assistance whenever needed. His kindness and willingness to help made a huge difference in our trip. Alex’s family was also very warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a peaceful, family-friendly stay in Crete, and Alex’s hospitality made it even better.

An amazing stay at a gorgeous house on the beach - a pleasure to watch your kids play in the sand while you sit on a private terrace just above. Restaurants (and the people running them) were absolutely wonderful. Its a small area, detached from the city and large tourism projects elsewhere. But Marathi Beach has everything you need for a very relaxing and enjoyable visit. My only comment is that the home lacks an indoor livingroom / dining area. It didn't bother us as we happily ate at the covered outdoor table or sat by the beach in the covered loungers - but this may not suit someone looking to relax inside in the late evening

Well-renovated apartment, very spacious and with every comfort available to guests. A beautiful terrace overlooking the sea where you can admire the sunset and a well-kept garden make it truly special. Vaia, Nikolas and the whole family immediately proved to be helpful and hospitable, we remember them with affection and sympathy.

The villa is lovely and has everything you need for a holiday. Clean and well maintained. There was extra cleaning during the week. Great view of the sea and the mountains. The cars passing on the main road, which is 100m below the villa, create a slight noise, but it is not unbearable. Maria is a great host and despite the late evening time of arrival she was waiting for us with a smile. She took care of us all the time and gave us valuable advice. There was a problem with the dishwasher, which was fixed the next day as soon as I informed Maria. We had a great week and would come back again.

The host went above and beyond! The apartment was sparkling clean and we even had housekeeping service midway through our stay. The location was perfect! It was peaceful and quiet but one street away from a multitude of restaurants and shopping. Would definitely rent again!!

Argyri and her husband were the best hosts I've ever stayed with, and the apartment was absolutely flawless: excellent location, close to the old city, restaurants and the beach The apartment had absolutely all the facilities: there was nothing we needed and not exist in the home. Furnished modernly and with great taste, the apartment is bright and welcoming, with a large terrace where you can drink coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The hosts welcomed us with a cake, with fruits, wine and juices in the fridge, and upon departure they gave us local honey. Very friendly, they spent time with us and explained to us the best places to eat, what to visit around the city and in the city. it was everything I could have wished for and I can't wait to come back for a much longer period with my daughter. Argyri and Valadis, greets from Bucharest and thank you very much for everything

We spent four very nice days here. The view is really beautiful and in 10 minutes you can walk to a supermarket. In front of the house you could park well.

This place cannot be faulted, excellent host, we wanted for nothing. Great location for centre of town, easy walking distance to amenities, would come back here again without hesitation

Very much enjoyed our stay at Tasos’s apartment! It was clean and comfortable and he was very flexible with check-in/check-out as we had flight delays and arrived later then we expected, along with having to check-out at 3:30 in the morning to catch our flight. He was great at communicating, responding promptly, and also gave us a bunch of recommendations on things to do locally. Would definitely stay here again, and totally recommend to others!

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).

Thanks for the great stay. The apartment is very clean, well renovated, practically furnished, only 3 minutes from the beach, 20 minutes on the promenade to the old town and despite the location on a busy road quite quiet. Parking the rental car was also quite unproblematic. Free parking is available in the area. The balcony is a bit narrow and not so suitable for sitting outside (especially since it is also a bit noisy outside). All in all, a great stay.

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.

Best balcony in Rethymno!
