Waterfront vacation rentals in Gournes Gouvon

The appartment was perfect, great location with a balcony and view of the sea. Close to nice restaurants and a quiet area. About a 10mins walk to the busier nightlife area. Was also easy to find taxis at the main street behind the appartment. The aircon worked well, and the flat had kitchenette ideal for 2 people. A small shower but worked well and we didnt mind it being small seeing you only spend 3mins of your day in it. Thanos was great at check in and check out and personally welcomed us even late on a friday night. he showed us around the neighborhood and gave reccommendations which was a nice touch.A really comfortable stay. Would stay again if we come back one day!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here! It was walkable to the downtown area and harbour, but also quiet at night and not too busy. It was an easy ride from the airport and the location is also very close to the highway so it’s easy to head to the beach or other towns! Also good local bakeries and gyros in the area! :)

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit. Die Wohnung ist wunderschön und total sauber. Alles was man braucht ist vorhanden und die Terrasse ist ein Highlight. Die Kommunikation mit der Gastgeberin war immer schnell, nett und hilfreich. Alles war perfekt

A truly fantastic place to stay. Exceptionally well stocked apartment with absolutely everything you would need for a long or short stay. Close to lots of restaurants, but well stocked kitchen if you prefer to cook. Beautiful terrace for dining, both undercover and outside. Host Viky is charming and friendly and could not be more helpful. We hope to return another time.

Die Wohnung ist traumhaft. Sie ist noch schöner als auf den Bildern und man fühlt sich sofort wohl wenn man sie betritt. Sie ist sehr stilvoll eingerichtet und die Terrasse ist wirklich ein Traum. Man muss sich allerdings bewusst sein dass sich die Anlage in einem der Touristen Hotspots auf Kreta befindet. Der Vorteil ist dass sie ganz am Anfang der Strasse liegt, so dass man selbst auf der Terrasse nicht viel vom ganzen Trubel mitbekommt. Gegenüber war ein kleiner Strandabschnitt ohne Liegen und Sonnenschirme den man glücklicherweise nutzen konnte um Zeit am Strand zu verbringen. Man bekommt auf der Terrasse nichts mit und hat absolut seine Ruhe zum entspannen. Die Terrasse ist so gebaut dass auch nicht von anderen darauf eingesehen werden kann. Wir haben 12 wunderbare Tage dort verbracht. Eva hat uns herzlichst empfangen und auch ein paar Köstlichkeiten zum empfang bereitgestellt. Obst, Brot, Käse und Wurst so dass man nach der Anreise erstmal entspannen konnte. Vielen lieben Dank.

We absolutely loved our time here! The listing description was spot on. No surprises as everything was exactly as described. The best part was 100% the beach! Its literally right in front of the apartment! Falling asleep to the sound of ocean waves every night was so nice. Agia Pelagia itself is ideal for a relaxed vacation. The beach is peaceful, very clean, and has a great mix of sandy spots for lounging. There’s also a solid variety of restaurants nearby, plus plenty of supermarkets and souvenir shops just a short walk away. Everything you need is within walking distance. I came here with my best friend and we had the most amazing time. We’re already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful seaside getaway!

What a find!!! We just loved our stay here. Mel’s place is so quirky and fun. Fotini her local helper was such a lovely person - she helped us with everything we needed. It’s a little walk into town but the terrace and peaceful surrounds make up for that!

This place is honestly a 10/10, I’d totally recommend it and would gladly come back. One of the best accommodations we’ve stayed in so far. What I loved most was the access to the sea. It’s a bit rocky, but if you’re a confident swimmer and have water shoes, it’s no problem. You can just step out of the garden and get straight into the water. The house itself is really pleasant, well-ventilated and cool. We stayed in June and didn’t even need the air conditioner. Just opening the windows in the morning and then closing them once the sun hit was enough to keep things comfortable. The terrace is huge, we spent loads of time there and in the garden, which is nicely shaded by the trees out front. Inside, I really appreciated the furniture — it has a traditional, authentic feel to it, definitely not your average IKEA setup. And last but not least, the host was incredibly welcoming professional, and warm. Overall, a fantastic stay.

Together with my wife and daughter I really did enjoy our stay at Elenis Apartment! We had to leave Crete earlier than expected (due to some private stuff). Eleni was very understanding and accepted our request of shortening the stay. We got a refund of 3 days which was very accommodating!! The flat got everything you need, we spent most of our time on the balcony looking at the sea. The beach close by is nice and quiet. The next restaurant is in walking distance of 25minutes, we do recommend a rental car though.

Magnifique ! Foncez ! Le logement: Wahou ! Propre, cosy, confort. Une magnifique terrasse avec un jacuzzi privé dont nous avons beaucoup profité et une vue sur le petit port à couper le souffle. Une cuisine avec tout ce qu'il faut (frigidaire, vaisselle, couverts, etc ...). 2 belles salles de bains avec tout ce qu'il faut (serviettes, produits, etc ...). Chambres confortables. Un salon avec Netflix, pour ceux qui le soir ont envie de se poser un peu. L'accueil: Wahou ! Harry nous attendait avec le sourire, malgré notre retard (avion, location de voiture, les aléas des voyages🤣). Sur place un tas de choses pour bien commencer nos vacances : fruits, charcuterie, pain, eaux, coca et de quoi déjeuner (confitures, miel ,café ..) Le gros+: Merci à Harry pour ses bons conseils (lieux à visiter, restaurants, tavernes, plages ...) et sa constante disponibilité et rapidité à répondre pendant notre séjour. L'endroit: Très joli port, un peu bruyant et animé le soir. Bon départ pour sillonner.

Highly recommend! A quiet area, close to everything. We stayed here start of October with our 14 yr old and 3 month old son. The apartment looks like the photos, very clean andy tidy. Very comfortable bed, was huge 💛. We had asked for a cot, which was there. The pool was lovely, very refreshing, solar heated. We were the only ones using it, due to out of main season, an unexpected luxury. The beach is a mix of sand and stones, literally just outside the gate. Within 10 mins walk is a supermarket, pharmacies, a patisserie with huge pain au chocolates - highly recommend, they also had pastries (cheese and bacon, mushroom and ham etc). If you walk along the sea front for about 20mins get into Gournes which has several beach bars, and restaurants/ cafes, we went to Taverna ambrosia, very good even had a baby change area (not everywhere has these) and soft play at the back. It’s a 45 min walk to the Creta aquarium, definitely worth a see. Ioannis arranged several taxis for us.

Nikos was an out standing host - the property was second to none - really pleased I stayed - if I ever go back to Crete, I will definitely stay at this property - thanks again Nikos for being so friendly and helpful, bo5h you and your wife - by far the best Airbnb I've ever stayed at.

J’ai passé un excellent séjour ! Merci pour votre accueil chaleureux, ainsi que votre réactivité et flexibilité. Le airbnb est très bien placé : environ 20-25 min d’Heraklion en voiture et 10 min du centre d’Hersonissos, n’étant pas véhiculée je me suis déplacée en bus ou en taxi, il y arrêt juste en face du logement (au zorbas village hôtel) ou un autre arrêt à environ 15-20 minutes de marche. Il est mieux d’avoir une voiture pour se déplacer, aller faire les courses car le airbnb est un peu excentré, il n’y a pas d’hypermarché à proximité à pied, c’est une zone touristique avec beaucoup d’hôtels, le café molo en face propose des transats gratuits. L’emplacement est très agréable et safe, il y a par contre beaucoup de passage de bus, taxis, voitures mais qui n’est pas trop dérangeant. La mer est juste en face à même pas 2 minutes, la vue du jardin est super (sur la mer et les montagnes). Le logement est confortable et parfait pour une ou 2 personnes. Je reviendrai avec grand plaisir

Olga et sa famille sont des gens d'une très grande gentillesse. L'accueil est exemplaire. Sa maman Helene nous a préparé des spécialités grecques pendant toute la durée de notre séjour. De par ses connaissances nous avons aussi pu assister à des spectacles de danses typiques de la région. Je vous recommande cette destination sans aucun problème. Nous y retournerons nous aussi pour approfondir la découverte de cette ile grecques.

This place completely exceeded our expectations! It’s absolutely stunning, with a breathtaking, priceless view that made our stay unforgettable. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure we felt comfortable and accommodated. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — highly recommended!

Excellent host, always communicative and proactive. Was very accommodating, allowing us an early check-in at the last minute due to unrelated travel problems. Overall excellent stay, would highly recommend.

וואו! נסענו למסיבת רווקות 4 בנות והיה פשוט מדהים! ג׳ורג׳ עוד הרבה לפני הנסיעה דיבר איתי בווצאפ והיה זמין לכל השאלות שלי. הזמין לנו מונית מהשדה תעופה שהגיעה בדיוק בזמן והכל היה מאוד ברור דרך הווצאפ. גם בכניסה לנכס ג׳ורג׳ קיבל אותנו, לקח מזוודות ( עד לצ׳ק אין) ושמר עליהם בחדר מאובטח. הנכס מהמם ומתאים בדיוק,נעים,נקי,שכונה שקטה וממש ליד כל הכיף - מרחק הליכה של חמש דק בדיוק. קנה לנו קצת דברים לנשנש שחיכו לנו בחדר, היה תמיד זמין לשאלות והמלצות עבורנו ואפילו עשה לי ממש טובה ולקח אותי טרמפ למסאז שהזמין לי מראש באיזור. באמת שהיה פשוט מושלם. ממליצה ממש לכל מי שרוצה לנקות את הראש ולקבל שירות אמין ומקצועי מעל ומעבר.

Great condo with a beautiful view. We loved walking down the beach towards all the bars and restaurants in the area, great location.

I‘m more that happy that we decided to stay at Dimitri‘s place. He ish very kind and helped us right away, if we had any questions. The location is peaceful and has a great view. The beach is not far away and the size of the apartment is just perfekt for a single person or a couple. I will definitely visit again.

Amazing place. Very private and quiet. Location is also great, lots of restaurants, bars and coffee shops to walk to. If I have the chance will definitely come back. Recommend it!

De host zijn super aardig, reageren altijd op app en vragen of alles goed gaat (Ze had zelfs brownies gebakken voor ons). Daarnaast is het appartement vrij ruim en heeft elke kamer airco. De balkons zijn ontzettend fijn om de dag op de beginnen met een prachtig uitzicht. Ook de badkamer is super, met een regendouche en zelfs nog een wasmachine. Daarnaast was alles schoon en goed geregeld.

Die Wohnung liegt perfekt, um die Insel zu erkunden, man ist im Zentrum der Insel, sofort auf der Autobahn (Empfehlung: vor Einzug unbedingt rückwärts am Berg anfahren üben!!) und trotzdem ist die Wohnung sehr ruhig und hat einen tollen Blick aufs Meer. Vor allem der kleine Balkon direkt über dem Meer hat es uns angetan, auch wenn er im Sommer vielleicht etwas zu heiß/zu wenig schattig sein könnte. Hier schließt man auch schnell Freundschaft mit den 4 Katzen, die gelegentlich auch den Nachbarshund zur Weißglut treiben. Wer Angst vor Katzen hat, sollte sich bei diesen anhänglichen Exemplaren lieber eine andere Wohnung suchen, Katzenfreunde werden es lieben. Mariannas Mutter ist eine gute Seele, bringt Eier der hauseigenen Hühner sowie frisches Obst und Gemüse vorbei. Alles in allem für uns der perfekte Ort, um die Erkundung der Insel mit Erholung zu kombinieren.

Excellent location, very clean and large apartment Comfortable beds, good quality air conditioning that is adjustable in each rooms Provided a travel cot and high chair for our baby which was very helpful Few steps up into the apartment, but then there is a lift to get luggage up Beautiful view, unfortunately the balcony was out of action for our stay as they were replacing the railing with a glass one - this did make it a challenge to dry clothes, but hopefully wont be an issue for others. Kitchen is pretty sparsely equipped, though we didn't need to do much cooking. Would have been good to have some cupboard essentials provided that you don't want to have to buy like condiments, coffee, oil, salt and pepper etc.

Wonderful place to stay. Right on the beach. Nikos and his father were there whenever we needed them and very attentive. Highly Recommended, as is Nikos restaurant, Libre, the best on the beach by a long way!
