Villa Alma in Crete, Sea View 2min from the beach!
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

Seaside home
We stayed at Niki's seaside home for 2 weeks. It's the perfect place with privacy and very quiet, especially if you have to work remote. It is 2 min from the beach and walkable distance to restaurants. Niki was a great host, very welcoming and kind and helpful whenever you need something. She provided everything, from beach towels to all kinds if ammenaties. She kindly uncludes nice welcoming gifts and she goes above and beyond to help with your requests should you need something else. Really feels like home away from home.

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

Modern seaside house, everything on foot!
Elizabeth and Lily's place is absolutely gorgeous. The house was impecable. Super clean. Very spacious, lots of bright light, and also has automatic dark shades. Towels were super comfortable, you get both shower and beach towels. We had a welcome basket with bread, jam, honey, there was fruit and water bottles in the fridge. Super attentive host. The house is probably the best one in the complex. Excellent view of the ocean, you can see some magnificent sunsets right from the balcony. There is also a terrace where you can have breakfast/coffee. The pool is super close, clean and gated with a keypad. Very secure area. Absolutely loved it. I wish I was there still. Will definitely go back and highly recommend it to everyone!

Roof Garden Apartment
The place was exactly what we expected. Quick access to our walks . Downtown is within walking distance. We had a pleasant stay. Great hosting. Looking forward to returning.

Brand new ocean wave's villa!
I had an incredible stay at Giorgos' apartment! The sea is literally the backyard, and starting every morning with the sound of the waves and finishing the day with a breathtaking sunset was definitely a highlight. The apartment itself is very comfortable, and falling asleep to the soothing sound of the ocean waves was just perfect. It's an easy and beautiful 30-minute walk to Chania town, and the WiFi was great for working remotely. Giorgos was an amazing host, going above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met. This is definitely one of the best Airbnbs I've stayed in – highly recommend!

City Beach,Seafront Villa by CHANiA LiVING STORiES
The place was great! We loved it! Close to the beach, great restaurants, walking distance to the old port and supermarket, not too far from the highway. The lodging was enormous and had so much room, ac worked great, having a parking space was very practical. Go ahead and book you won’t regret it.

THE VIEW!
Jeronimo is a really great host. Very, very friendly and helpful. We felt very comfortable and welcome right away. The accommodation is beautifully located above the small Soudabucht with magnificent views. Two recommended taverns are within walking distance. Jeronimo's bar is also great and not to be missed. We highly recommend the beautiful, simple but functional accommodation.

Vista Mare Villa Heated Pool
The place is so beautiful and clean. The view from the outdoors is nice and peaceful. The scene of sheep eating grass multiple times a day in a small field under the pool is wonderful. (Photo first house) Maria, who showed us around, is so kind and nice.

We stayed at Nikos place as a family of 4 ( 2 adults 2 children 5 and 6 year old). we had a amazing time and the pool and garden with sea views are just amazing. beach is also a 5 min walk from the property. nice supermarket within walking distance and the caffe 20m away serves amazing coffee.

Newly built villa 5 minutes from old Town Rethimno
We had a wonderful stay in a large, modern house. Spacious kitchen and living area, nice terrace ideal for breakfast and dinner. Short walking distance to some great restaurants and bars and a nice stroll along the promenade to the old city center. Supermarket around the corner. House makes you feel at home and I was especially pleased with the piano :). Nice pool in the inner courtyard for a dip. The host, Efi, was very responsive. Can only recommend the place!

Villas Klio, Three Muses Villas
We had the best week here. It’s so peaceful and calm. The villa is stunning with sea views and so many areas to relax and enjoy the sun. It was incredibly well stocked and they left us lots of welcome treats and basics like bread, milk, juice, fruit, cake etc. would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful week! The house is as beautiful as in the pictures and exactly matches the description. The two pools were perfect for both the children and us adults and an absolute highlight. The reception by Heike very warm and she even got us some groceries for the first breakfast. Here the guest is in the foreground and nothing is missing :)

Sunny & Comfy Sea View Studio
We had a wonderful time at Nikos's place. Nikos was great, he's probably one of the friendliest hosts I've ever encountered on Airbnb. The place was exactly like in the photos, clean and cozy, and the host was always helpful and answered our questions whenever we had some.

Aqua Breeze Apartment
We loved our stay here! It is a great location - super close to the beach and a short walk into old town. The place is beautiful - so clean and beautifully decorated. We felt so at home. Such lovely touches - fruit, coffee pods, earbuds, cotton balls, bamboo toothbrushes etc. Marilena was really responsive, very clear check in and check out instructions and such great recommendations. Would definitely recommend this spot to stay at if you are in the area.
