Beachfront vacation rentals in Malia

we had a lovely week at Maria's place. The covered terrace is the most beautiful room in the house with beautiful sea views. The beach is less than 5 minutes' walk, but beware, for people who have difficulty walking, the slope is rather steep to climb. Maria is very responsive and responds very quickly to messages. Agia Pelagia remains a small seaside resort in a great location for visiting the north of the island. Beautiful discovery

The pictures don’t do this view justice. It’s breathtaking! The home is gorgeous and the outdoor space is wonderful. It was too cold for us to swim but we still enjoyed time at the beach. Most of the immediate area was already shut down for the season during our stay but there is a lovely area about a mile walk away. We spent a lot of time there enjoying the coffee shops and restaurants. The house and rooms were fantastic and there was more than enough space for everyone to relax. The host was amazing and went above and beyond to help us when we left some glasses at a restaurant. Thank you so much for a great stay!!

Athina and her family are great hosts, very warm and helpful. They do it with heart, you can tell. There's no better way to do it! They are also available at any time if you have questions, just great! The place is as shown in the pictures. We were there with our little son and dog, both were very warmly welcomed. For children, digging toys, high chairs and a paddling pool are available. We also received some great gifts, which is also very nice. (Fruit, olive oil, wine and homemade snacks) Parking is always available, either on the property or on the street. Many great restaurants and a great sandy beach can be reached by car in a short time. The neighbors are also very nice. We highly recommend it for families!

This was literally the best airbnb I have ever stayed in, with the best host to match. Katerina is an elite host and so, so lovely to work with. She treats you like old friends! She went above and beyond. And the house....I don't have enough space to tell you how great it is. 10/10 cannot recommend enough and I hope we get to see her again some day.

Had a great time here! Vasilis was very accommodating and the place came as expected. Clean, great views of the water, and centrally located to the shops and restaurants in town. Highly recommend!

We will miss it. The house and pool were great. We had a wonderful time there. We also took the cats to our hearts right away.❤️ In 2 years we'll be back.

great place, perfect for a familh as well. A short walk to the beach and local taverns. A short drive to Agios Nicholas with great shopping and city walking.

Stella’s place was really great. Very pretty and welcoming. Thank you.

The villa is good, but not very clean and not maintained very well (door handle broke, the shower hole was clogged). The pool is great and shared with the other condo's and villa. There wasnt a problem with the host, but he doesnt go the further step to communicate with you. The communication is very basic. The location is ok, about 20 minutes walk from the main port, 3 minutes walk from the nearest beach, but the beach is not very nice. The only main problem is that the double beds are small, and not very comfortable for 2 adults. Over-all for the price, this place is good.

We had a wonderful 15 days! ☀️ The place is very nice, super modern, comfortable and everyone was very nice! The pool was also great and always clean. Only a few meters walk was a beautiful beach, where you can also have a great breakfast. To get to the next town or other beaches, however, you need a vehicle - the nice lady at the reception also took care of that and we were picked up to get to the rental and also brought back to the accommodation when returning the quad. All in all, we were completely satisfied and didn't want to leave. Thank you for everything! 🤍

Our stay at the villa was nothing short of incredible. The location was peaceful and serene—away from the busier tourist areas, it truly felt like our own private resort. The views were absolutely stunning, and every moment there felt like a dream. The house itself was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, and the heated pool was a highlight—especially during the cooler evenings. It made it easy to enjoy every part of our stay, no matter the weather. George, our host, was fantastic. He was always just a message away, ready with helpful suggestions and warm hospitality. His attention to detail and genuine care made our stay even more special. We’re already dreaming about our return. Highly recommend!

My stay at the beach house in Pachia Ammos felt like stepping into a quiet dream. The house was just as shown in the pictures — and somehow even more beautiful, embraced by the serene rhythm of the sea and the gentle charm of a peaceful neighborhood. Each morning, I woke to the whisper of waves and a view so breathtaking it felt like time stood still. The warmth of the locals made the experience even richer, and our host Marilou was the soul of it all — gracious, generous, and sincerely kind. I left a part of my heart by the shore, and I know I’ll return someday

Overall, we are satisfied with our stay. Particularly noteworthy is the extremely professional and friendly manner of the hosts - great praise to both of them! We found the apartment in a good and above all very clean condition. New condition, modernly furnished, air-conditioned, windows incl. mosquito nets, comfortable beds and equipped with all necessary utensils. In addition, the apartment has an outdoor shower (separate room that can be entered from the outside) and a small laundry room with a washing machine. In addition, we were able to enjoy some welcome gifts (water, beer, cocktails, nuts, etc.). It is also possible to use the pools in the hotel opposite free of charge. The only negative point is the non-optimal location of the apartment. Since the property is quite noisy and the terrace is facing the street, you get quite a lot of traffic (especially the many coaches were heard).

The accommodation in Kokkini Hani was very nice overall. Everything was clean and well maintained, everything you need was really there – from kitchen utensils to beach towels. The location is a real highlight: right on the beach, you can hear the sea when you wake up. The host was very friendly, helpful and easily accessible, which made the stay even more pleasant. A small downside: The room layout is very open, which means there is no real privacy in the individual rooms. If you value separate bedrooms, you should consider this. Still a great place to stay in a fantastic location – perfect for a relaxing beach vacation!

The stay was good, private and secluded. All listed amenities were present. Pool and BBQ were crucial to us, also worth to mention: there is an A/C unit in each room. Wifi was perfectly stable. You can hear the road noises, but it is manageable, it didn't affect our experience.

It was wonderful, the boys and I loved the fire and outdoor whirl, but also the beautiful rural setting and the starry night sky. Even homemade baked goods were brought to us. They were very lovely hosts. Thank you.

Very spacious, modern apt with a beautiful balcony. The street noise below made it difficult to sit out and talk there, but the view of the ocean was very nice. Well appointed kitchen. Very clean and neat. Mihalis gave us a great recommendation for dinner nearby that was lovely. We had a nice stay here

We were very warmly welcomed by Marina's and Aristea's parents. The apartment is simple and functional, everything was very clean and we found a plate of fruit in the fridge upon arrival. Located in a beautiful garden. Beach, taverns and a small supermarket are within 10 minutes' walking distance. The communication was very warm, we were allowed to pick lemons in the garden and the parents spoiled us with Greek coffee and homemade cake. Thanks to Aristea and Marina for their hospitality.

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.

We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation in Dimitri's apartment. The apartment is fantastically beautiful and tastefully decorated, with high-quality furniture and nothing is really missing. The terrace has a unique beautiful view of the sea and we spent many beautiful hours there. Dimitris is super friendly, always available and with helpful tips for excursions, restaurants, etc. he helped us a lot. He also arranged the transfer from the airport for us and it worked out just fine. The location of the apartment is also perfect. Supermarket and restaurants are within walking distance and the bus station is just across the street. We highly recommend the apartment, for us the most beautiful so far and we will be happy to think back to the time and come back soon.

Staying at Panagiotis and Marianne place, The Sunny Terrace House was wonderful ! They were absolutely amazing hosts - so kind and generous, they provided everything we needed for breakfast, water and even a special raki in the fridge ❤️ The house is better in reality than the photos. Big, high ceiling rooms, very clean and well arranged. The living room with the kitchen is very spacious. The terrace surrounding the house is also very generous and well shaded. The bathroom - very beautiful, clean and spacious. The location is perfect, quiet and near the beach, tavernas and bus station. We highly recommend this place!! For sure, we will return to stay here when visiting Crete again- we felt like home ❤️

Niki and Cristos were really lovely and friendly hosts. Fresh flowers, homemade biscuits and cake, wine etc were provided and left in the apartment. The apartment was bright and clean. They treated us as family and really made us feel at home. Surrounded by the most amazing mountains. Beautiful people on beautiful Bali. What more could you ask for? Eif charisto! (thank-you) Margerita and Yianni xxxx

amazing stay and we enjoyed the welcome gifts. thank you again for a great stay!

The Airbnb was perfect! Everything as described, literally 1 second away from the beach, there are many restaurants and bars close by. The view from the balcony/rooftop was incredible, the sunsets were to die for! The communication was very quick and friendly. All in all I recommend this Airbnb to everyone who wants to have a good time in Gouves. Thanks for everything and we will definitely come back!!
