Waterfront vacation rentals in Rethymno

We loved it! A couple of suggestions: Would be helpful to tell guests that they will park behind the building and enter the apartment from the back, not the front of the building.. Would be nice to have a lounge chair for the balcony.

Very nice and well equipped small apartment. Would repeat if I have the opportunity.

This place is perfectly placed to go to all the points of interest in the Rethymnon area. The proximity to the road is not an inconvenience because it is extremely well soundproofed and the rooms overlook a very beautiful garden (with children's games) and the sea. Note that at the end of October the area is more than quiet so we have the restaurant and the beach to ourselves. Parking down the apartment. I would recommend it!

Wonderful little flat directly at the beach. Golden view onto the cove, terrace to sit and relax (sunbeds would have been excellent there). Despoina was super helpful and made our stay unforgetable.

Wonderful place right next to the sea. Provides all amenities you need. Highly recommended!

We loved staying at this place right in the heart of Rethymno. The location was great, close to everything and Marinos was very helpful in recommending restaurants and parking to make our stay easier. We would definitely stay here again.

We spent a few nights in the apartment. It was perfect, the kitchen was very well equipped and you could actually cook (have never experienced this so well before), the beach location super, the contact with Zabia extremely friendly and uncomplicated. There were cute cats that visited us on the large roof terrace. We would definitely recommend the place.

overally we had a very nice stay and the host was very accommodating. I would recommend this to anyone staying in the area!

We really enjoyed our stay. Harry was very responsive and friendly. The house was really nice, just as described, and had everything we needed. The view is beautiful—if you wake up early, you can see the sun rise right in the center of the big window and watch it move all the way up. The location is good. We did hear some highway noise, and there was a friendly group of dogs that barked in the morning. But at least you could pet them they were sweet. The hot tub was nice. Although we didn’t use it as much as we thought we would. It’s on the roof, and since the house has a central spiral staircase, you need to come down it to get back inside. That made it a bit tricky with wet feet and the April nights were a bit too chilly to stay on the roof for too long after the tub. But we really enjoyed using the BBQ. Overall, we had a great time. Harry’s hospitality was top notch.

We had a great week at this house at the sea. Our boys loved it. We will come back.

it is just as it's described. three verandas facing different directions so you can enjoy the sun or not. beautiful views of the sunset, sea and mountains. will definitely return 👍👍

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

Heike's place was super well maintained and had everything your heart desires. We felt comfortable and enjoyed our time very much! Heike was also on site on the day of our arrival and personally gave us many helpful tips and explained everything necessary. She was also quickly available to us at any time. Utensils for grilling meat and fish were also fully available. The surrounding small towns with numerous localities are quickly and easily reached by car. If you are athletic, you can also do it on foot :) . But even at home you can unwind, either in a hammock or a lounger.

John was a lovely host would definitely recommend this place 👍

Menelaos is very-very good and super host! I highly recommend him to deal with. The house is very spacious and comfortable. It is situated in a small village 30 minutes from Rethymno (by car). You can find all necessary things in the house. Menelaos and his wife met us when we arrived. Sweet cookies and still water were the pleasant surprises for us. Few beaches are in 30-50 meters away from the house. The host kindly left 4 big beach towels. Many restaurants are few steps from the house, we loved every that we visited. The restaurant close to the beach have very big portions so be careful if you order much 😅 3 supermarkets are in 50-150 meters away from the house so there no problem to get anything you need and they are closed late. I would say this trip was one of the most pleasant and comfortable of all my years with Airbnb. Big thanks to Menelaos and his wife!

I am so happy to have come across this place! Everything is super thoughtfully decorated and the balcony with sea and rock views is the absolute highlight!!! I spent a lot of time there, even with food. When the Aircon left and I reported this to Eva, she immediately called a technician who immediately fixed it, a wonderful service! The price of the accommodation is absolutely cheap in this great residential area! You are right in the middle of it (which is also great!), but you can retreat very well... I could stay there forever and have a firm plan to come back here! Thank you Eva, also for the nice souvenirs that I can continue to enjoy at home... ;-)

We stayed at Nikos's place from 10/6-10/12. The sea view was great. In the evening we heard the sea rushing. 2 minutes to the beach. The water was clear and pleasant 25°. There were not many people on the beach, a pleasant atmosphere. The island offers many attractions, the old town of Rethymno is worth a trip alone. The prices are ok. The Greeks are nice and hospitable. Nikos was on hand when we had an issue. Very friendly and helpful. We recommend this place👍. Regine and Heike from Germany🙋🙋.

Very nice place in a great location right on the beach promenade. Tastefully decorated, dishwasher and washing machine are also provided. Two balconies in the east and west, you always had shade or sun. Maria was super nice, expected us and instructed us. Thanks for the great stay!

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

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).

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.

We were two couples sharing this apartment and it was well equipped and spacious, as per the photos. The beds were comfortable with good quality linen and it was nice to have shower and beach towels. The large balcony was a great space with a good view but two of our party have slight hearing issues and the traffic noise made conversation difficult at times. However the location of the apartment is great with such an interesting beach and sea view. We swam frequently and it was easy to pop down at all times of the day and evening. The walk to the old town was pleasant and easy and it was well worth a walk to the castle. We had a problem with the fob not working to access the parking area but Constantine responded quickly and resolved it. Despite the parking space being on the small side we had no issues with a medium sized car that fitted 4 adults and luggage comfortably. Constantine met us to show us the parking and apartment despite being quite busy which we appreciated.
