Family-friendly vacation rentals in Ios

Great stay - best of the trip (5 air bnbs and 1 hotel). View is incredible. Words can’t express how wonderful it is. We sat on the balcony all day for multiple days, it did not get old. Close to food and very walkable. You are right below the dome views so you are in best of best and the path is marked off as private. The only cons I can think of is the fridge wasn’t stocked (as listed) and the sheets were not replaced (the bed was just made each day). Otherwise we plan to visit again because the flaws are minor compared to the phenomenal property. Great and responsive host too!!! Book it!!

Outstanding studio in a great location. The place was Impeccable with a magnificent view. Many good restaurants and coffee shops around. Thera is just a 10 min walk. You are close to everything but you do not have the level of craziness you see in Oia. A especial thanks to Valentina for all her help and attention to detail. We highly recommend the space

Our experience at this Airbnb was truly perfect from beginning to end. We were greeted at the airport by a driver arranged by the host, and upon arrival, someone was already waiting to help us with our bags. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and in the perfect location—just a short walk from shops, restaurants, and bars, with a stunning view of the sea. Daily breakfast was such a nice touch, and I was especially grateful that the host provided soy milk after I requested it—two cartons, no less! The cozy slippers made us feel right at home, and while I didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub (too busy exploring!), it looked pristine and super inviting. Check-in and check-out were both seamless, with a porter to help with bags and transportation arranged for our departure as well. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone visiting Oia. A truly special stay!

Rena was very nice and helped us in a timely manner.The house also has character, sophistication and perfect, and the waking view of the ocean is beautiful!

Our stay at Villa Aronia was amazing. Ioakeim was an unbelievable host. He was responsive during planning, greeted us upon arrival, came and said goodbye on departure. He gave us loads of great tips for seeing the island and even stocked the fridge with essentials as well as delicious homemade food and wine from his family. True hospitality. The villa is on the quiet side of the island. Only 10 min from Fira, 15 min from Oia and 20 min from Akrotiri. Having a hot tub and looking over the Aegean Sea at the end of a busy day of exploring may have been our favorite part. The villa was a beautiful summer home with gorgeous landscaping. Lots of spots to hang out and watch the waves. We even saw an epic sunrise one morning. Recommend Santo Winery for wine tasting with truly special view of caldera. Kookoo in Oia for rooftop view of sunset with amazing food and service. Cave of Nikolas near Akrotiri for best fresh fish. Thanks Ioakeim. This has been a trip of a lifetime.

I cannot say enough about how amazing Eleni was as a host. She was so helpful arranging taxi and providing us with recommendations on places to eat and things to do. She even left us a bottle of wine and made us an amazing cheese pie. The house was beautiful and very comfortable. It was a great place to return to at the end of a busy day. I highly recommend staying at Eleni’s place. Thank you Eleni. Susan and Pat

This stay was fantastic, from the complimentary breakfast, to the concierge assistance renting ATVs, this trip was unlike any we have been on and Katerina helped with it all. We would recommend this Airbnb to anyone! (There is a pretty good effort walk to and from the air bnb with many steps, for some it might not be super accessible) for us it was perfect!

We loved our stay here for our honeymoon! It was private and such a cute place! It had a great view of two blue domes, which I loved. We loved being able to sit in the jacuzzi and look out across the water and see the surrounding islands. They were so helpful with setting up transfers, excursions and recommendations for places to eat/shop. Made our trip to Santorini that much better. Definitely recommend staying here!

We had a wonderful time. The place was exactly as described and Theodoris was very responsive to our questions. He also arranged to have someone take our luggage to and from the place, which in Santorini that is a huge bonus!! I can’t forget the wine from his family’s vineyard he provided! The location is great as well!!

We stayed for just one night in this incredible cave house in Oia, and it was truly unforgettable! The location is perfect—right in the heart of Oia, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset, which we watched right from the terrace with a glass of wine in hand. The cave house itself was cozy, clean, and beautifully designed, blending traditional charm with modern comfort. We loved the unique architecture and how cool and quiet it stayed inside, even on a warm day. The bed was comfortable, the shower had great water pressure, and everything was spotless. Dimitri was welcoming and helpful, providing great local tips and making check-in seamless. Even though we only stayed one night, it was the highlight of our trip to Santorini. We’d love to come back for a longer stay next time! Highly recommend this special place for anyone!

Everything the space was meant for it had. If you like to rent your own vehicle you can, but apon asking every taxi and transport was easy to do. Plenty to do on the island. Some very good restaurants and some of the clearest water I’ve ever seen in an ocean. Hope to be back soon to show my friends/family.

Great location, house was beautiful right in the middle of Oia. The host was super responsive and helpful regarding transportation. I would definitely recommend using the transportation they offer because they help you carry the bags up the hill, which is quite a distance. They give you fresh towels daily. Overall great stay.

The perfect place for relaxation. Beautiful, comfortable, clean and calm. In Lisbet we found not only a host, but a soulmate. It was a pleasure and a lasting memory. Thanks!

Wonderful !!!!! Amazing location, peaceful atmosphere far from the busy city A place to enjoy, private and beautiful We had a lovely time Highly recommended ❤️

Great spot in Oia! The place was just as described! Very clean and well decorated. Close to everything you need - shops, restaurants, small grocery stores - all within walking distance the views are absolutely amazing. You do need to be able to go up and down a ladder for the bed in the loft. Bed was very comfortable and while there is a bar downstairs it did not bother us (and they do have great drinks!). The hot tub was great in the cooler mornings and nights. Markos was very responsive and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again.

Had a wonderful stay at Alexandra’s cave house! In a beautiful area with the best restaurant we went to in Santorini nearby (Lefkes). We loved how peaceful the area was, while being close enough to walk to Oia. She was very responsive, friendly, and helpful. Definitely recommend this Airbnb!

Just as described, it was perfect !

Wonderful accommodation, charming touches on arrival, great communication with the host, we had recommendations for the whole stay and he checked in with us every day. The cleaning was done regularly. We were both quiet and enjoyed the outdoor space and the possibility of parking while being close to everything. No noise, very pleasant stay. Everything was tastefully decorated. Bravo!

Beautiful location in Ammoudi Bay. Lots of restaurants and main town walking distance. It felt like something out of a movie.

The Windmill Villas are exactly as described. We have had a wonderful week in Santorini. The Windmill is everything we could ask for. Floriana took great care of us, from breakfasts to keeping the Windmill just beautiful all week. We did not want to leave. The restaurants recommended by Nikos were excellent, we especially loved 'Metaxi Mas' beautiful setting, excellent service. Nikos provided us with information on parking, supermarkets - all really helpful. Santorini is a stunning island & we were delighted to have visited at this time of year. Everything is within easy reach, car definitely recommended. Thank you for an amazing week. Until next time.

I had an amazing stay at Lava Caves—this place really exceeded expectations. The cave-style room was beautiful, clean, and had everything I needed. The view of the caldera was unreal, especially from the hot tub—it was the perfect spot to relax and watch the sunset. The location was ideal, tucked away enough to feel private but still close to great restaurants and shops in Oia. The hosts were super friendly and helpful, always available if I had a question or needed a recommendation. Breakfast delivered to the room each morning was a great touch, and everything about the stay just felt easy and relaxing. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Greece—highly recommend if you're looking for a unique and peaceful stay in Santorini.

nice and quiet area but walking distance to oia, so relaxing and exactly what we wanted! they were very helpful and friendly!

Beautiful place and exceptional host. Aris met us in person and explained everything plus was very patient with recommendations, organising trips and answering questions.

We returned to Aliki in Dimitris and Joanna's apartment. The experience was as great as last year! The apartment is beautiful and the proximity to the beautiful beach makes it unique. Joanna was always available from check-in to checkout, with great attention to our needs! We'll be back!
