Beachfront vacation rentals in Platanias

Very relaxing and wonderful space, I wish I was napping on the patio now.

Beautiful, clean, and very responsive. The stay was as advertised. This home is well maintained, comfortable , and close to everything.

5* place 5* location 5* communication.

Words and photos cannot describe the beauty of this place. We had an absolutely magical visit. The home is comfortable and very clean and everything you need in the kitchen. Stella was the perfect host. She was so kind and thought of everything you might need. Make sure to follow her recommendations for restaurants as they were amazing. Thank you for the delicious homemade treats and a wonderful and relaxing vacation. We look forward to our return.

The location is stunning. Right on the beach with gorgeous views from the living room and bedrooms!

We stayed at this house for the second time. It is a very good equipped house that beautifully located very close to the beach

Absolutely beautiful location, 2 minute walk to the main Old Port area and tons of nice shops in the back streets.

Great Location definitely recommend it as a base to go around Crete and the backyard was lovely !

The location was amazing, the view was great and transportation was very easy. The villa was spotlessly clean and I had no problems with hygiene. The staff was very attentive and helpful, they helped us with everything. The villa's facilities were also quite sufficient, especially the pool and garden were very enjoyable. Overall, I was very pleased with my accommodation experience and would recommend it to everyone.

Superb! Host was proactive in communication and responsive as well as friendly upon arrival, even returned with a welcoming bottle of wine! Location was perfect, close to all activities yet quite and peaceful after full days of fun. Highest recommendation if you plan on visiting the area. We are looking forward to a return trip!

Mike was great from the start…we booked last minute and he texted me immediately. He made everything very easy and was extremely friendly when we got there to check in. He showed us everything about the apartment that we needed to know and gave us lots of tips on where to go to eat and to see the best sites. The rooftop space was beautiful and the apartment was very close to everything in the area… We were able to walk to everything! I would definitely recommend staying there… Thank you, Mike!

We had a fantastic stay here. The house is spacious, very well equipped and very flexible. The surrounding is absolutely beautiful. Even though we came at the end of season and the weather wasn't perfect anymore, we enjoyed every minute. Aleksandra and her family are very caring and supportive, true hosts!

Beautiful villa in a great location. If your are stunned by the pictures, you sure will be stunned by the villa itself - it is simply a gem. It lies at the top of a hill overlooking Kissamos. If you don’t mind a short, steep walk, you can even reach the town (and a supermarket) per foot. If there is anything to criticize then it is the kitchen equipment - a few more big bowls for salad etc would be great. Ioannis is a great host, super friendly and helpful. We are definitely coming back.

Nektaria is a lovely host, very helpful and easy to communicate with. Maleme is a calm getaway, for peaceful holidays.

The area was great and we loved the pool! The villa was steps from the beach and the view from the top bedroom was amazing! The host was very responsive. They sent in someone to clean everyday which was very really nice. We arrived early and exhausted from traveling there from the US. The staff at the hotel where you check in were super kind and allowed us to check in before the normal time so we could relax and enjoy our first day.

Host was so helpful. Apt was lovely we especially loved the veranda and having breakfast on it at sunrise. Very peaceful. Apartment had all the amenities you need and it’s great having a washer.

Honestly loved Helens apartment, Poseidon. It was peaceful , beautiful views and lovely location in a small fishing village near the harbour and overlooking the quiet beach. Note we were there in May so I guess it is busier in summer. Great walking from here up into the hills, to the monastery and St Johns cave and the big olive tree. Bus stop right outside for Chania and other places eg Tavronitis. Baker opposite and good traditional cretan tavernas downstairs and along the sea front. In the apartment everything was so well thought about and taken care of. It is well equipped, spacious, comfortable and easy; provided with everything you need - soap, salt and pepper, cleaning stuff, sunbeds and beach towels. Really good washing machine. Helen also welcomed us with delicious home made cretan cheese pies, home made honey raki and a good supply of their own olive oil.

We had a very good stay at the apartment. We were received in a friendly way. The apartment had everything we needed and was very clean and modern. Really beautiful terrace overlooking the sea. The cleaning staff were also very nice and helpful. We would come back anytime and can only recommend the apartment.

Stunning view of the sea AND the mountains! Super clean place in a quiet corner. I especially enjoyed visits from a beautiful, friendly and adventurous tuxedo black kitty I call TopCat during my week-long stay. The covered patio is just absolutely amazing - the hammock beckons if you are craving chill time. (:

Absolutely brilliant stay! We spent over 8 nights here and loved every moment. The location is ideal—peaceful yet close to Chania’s vibrant areas, with a lovely quiet beach just 2 minutes away. Plenty of tavernas, mini markets, and local eateries nearby made everything super convenient. Panagiotis is a truly exceptional host—responsive, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. He allowed us to check in early, shared great local tips, and even welcomed us with traditional Cretan snacks. The home has a relaxed, vacation vibe that made us feel at ease right away. Ofcourse has all the amenities! We hired a car, which made exploring Crete and beach hopping effortless. Before we left, Panagiotis surprised us with heartfelt goodbye gifts—a gesture that made us genuinely emotional. We will be definitely back!

Perfect spot for us, near the beach, lots of good food joints and a very helpful host😊

This is the accommodation I chose for sightseeing in Crete on my honeymoon. It was really the perfect place to stay. I checked in late due to a flight delay on the first day, but the host was so kind to me. The garden in the accommodation is really beautiful, well maintained, and you can meet the cats staying here. When you lower the electric blinds in the large room, the sunlight is completely blocked, so it is perfect for people who like to sleep late like me. The small room also has a comfortable bed and a spacious built-in closet, so it's a great place for anyone to stay. There is a washing machine in the bathroom, so it is good to wash wet towels and laundry after bathing. You can see the sea right in front of the accommodation, and there is a clean and beautiful beach just a short walk away. It is very suitable for tourists as it is easy to access not only small supermarkets but also restaurants where you can eat while looking at the sea. The host was really friendly and listened carefully to the necessary requirements. If I visit Crete again, I would definitely like to stay again.

A stunning new apartment - spotless, comfortable with all the luxuries of a fine home. Everything is new and it’s decorated beautifully. Quiet too. Amazing location.

Our stay here was absolutely fantastic! Aggelos is extremely friendly, helpful, and responsive. He provided recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The apartment was spotless when we arrived and had everything we needed for our stay. The place is very close to the downtown area with many shops, restaurants, and bakeries. It was also a quick walk to the bus stop. We could not recommend this place enough!
