Beachfront vacation rentals in Santorini

Wauw! Top location by the water on the edge of the caldera. Amazing view. Quiet and private. Ideal to chill out. Property fit for up to four people. One master bed and two single beds. Terrace with table and four chairs, and outdoor shower ideal for after a swim in the sea. I brought my SUB and that was awesome. I do recommend renting a car to reach the parking by the sea and being able to visit other places on the island. To reach to airbnb, you will need to cross part of a beach so be aware when traveling with heavy luggage. The nearby restaurant is closed (end May 2024) so you if you are not cooking yourself, you will need to travel to eat somewhere else.

Spiros was very professional. The attention to detail was excellent! He was very personable and available for questions. His recommendations for food and excursions were perfect. We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely come back.

The villa was very clean and had everything we needed. The views were amazing. If we were to go again we would get a car as taxi's are very pricey and no where is in walking distance. Communication prior to arrival was poor. We arrived not knowing how to check in or who to contact. Luckily Lydia, the housekeeper was on site and let us in. From then on communication was great. a watsapp group was set up and Lydia arranged our taxis for us when ever we wanted.

This sweet place is so quiet and peaceful and perfect for getting away from the noise of OIa itself. It's a challenging climb up and down the path (or a wait for the water taxi), but it is ultimately worth it for the peace. Listening to the ocean as it laps against the shoreline is soothing to soul. You can dip your toes in or walk a short way for a swim. The restaurant next door does not intrude on the quietness and the food is world class. Make sure you get a reservation as soon as possible!!! The host was very helpful - even through flight scheduling mishaps - and always willing to jump in with some help or a recommendation. If you're looking for a place off the beaten path where you can rest and recharge, this is the place!!!

We loved our stay in Perissa and it was mainly due to staying in Markos’ apartment. The apartment was great but it was all the value added extras and friendly and helpful engagement with Markos and Pavlos that we will remember. Loved it.

Our stay at Amantes Amentes was really exceptional! Kostas and his parents are extremely friendly and helped us with all our issues. The apartment was right at the beach, very clean and had literally everything we needed. I recommend anyone who wants to stay here to rent a car to get around because the apartment is far away from the popular cities. Thank you Kostas and big thanks to your parents for everything ♥️

We had a lovely stay at Elizabet’s place. It was a beautiful private home right on the water. We could easily walk to some restaurants and drive everywhere else we needed to. We also enjoyed staying home and cooking and relaxing in the multiple outdoor spaces that were cozy and private Host was communicative and responsive. Elizabet met us upon arrival to show us everything. We would definitely stay again.

We had a great time at Alexandros', Sisko's place is conveniently located in Oia (10 minutes by car) and Fira (15 minutes), away from the chaos and on a hill from which you can enjoy a splendid view. The house was really nice and practical, equipped with everything you need for cooking and attention to detail. The pool was very appreciated. Alex was also super nice and helpful: he allowed us to enter the apartment before check-in time, he made us find fresh local water and wine and he provided us with a series of tips, from restaurants to excursions, which were excellent: we followed them to the letter and we could not have been more satisfied! Thanks for everything Alex!

We had a very nice stay at the Rodakas Hotel, with two young children, with very nice swimming pool, high quality extra breakfast, convenience store access and restaurants nearby on foot, friendly beach after a slope for about ten minutes. Helpful staff of good advice, pleasant family atmosphere and a specific thank you to the bartender for his time given for some parts of failure with our eldest son!

The villa was perfect. Great location next to the sea with a fantastic pool and peaceful garden. It had a well stocked kitchen, three good sized bedrooms and a really comfortable lounge. The hosts were amazing. They had stocked the fridge with the basics meaning we didn't have to go and do a shop as soon as we arrived and they were incredibly helpful and proactive in their recommendations. The local village had excellent restaurants, a small supermarket and bar all within easy walking distance as well as a good beach. The area itself is not as touristy as some of the other places on the island, but everywhere is an easy drive and it was actually very pleasant to return home away from the crowds. I absolutely recommend this villa. We had a fabulous holiday there.

I must confess I kept scrutinising the other reviews because they sounded too good to be true. The listing and reviews definitely were 100% accurate. We were warmly greeted. The hosts couldn’t do enough for us - very helpful from transportation, island tours and local recommendations. The villa itself was spotless, well stocked, very clean (cleaned every day). The pool was heated with a jacuzzi which was awesome. Breakfast every day was a delight of fresh fruit, Greek yoghurt and other lovely things. The area is perfect, just off a main road for a peaceful, private stay but very close to a cute little supermarket, ATM and bars and restaurants. A 7 minute walk to the beach and other bars and restaurants. The island itself is lovely with very friendly people but I’m glad we stayed here and would definitely come back.

Top notch stay!!! Communication was GREAT! It was the smoothest airbnb stay we've ever had with them waiting for us at the airport upon arrival to drive us to the airbnb, providing a rental car for our stay and serving breakfast daily by the nicest gentleman, Milton!!! I highly recommend this place and will be back!! Shanice also told me about a great vegetarian restaurant, Tranquilo, only a 3 min drive which we ate at every day it was open and it was delicious!!!

Overall was excellent. But could have used a new pan and some paper towels. Place was very nice. Good location very close to the beach. The host and cohost was very friendly informative. Was a little smaller than I anticipated for the price but again overall very very nice.

We are a family of four with two small children and we had a wonderul stay here - the villa was perfect for us with lots of space. It is impeccably clean and we really appreciated the daily service. The pool is lovely and would be refreshing on a hot day. The location is very convenient for the beach and for choice of restaurants/ bars. We ate in Perivolos (Savvas Popeye was amazing) and Perissa which is less than 5 minutes by car or 20-minute walk along the beachfront. I also got out for some pretty incredible running in the mornings; it’s a great base for exploring the island that way if you’re into hiking or running. It’s also really nice to stay in the quieter South side of the island and visit the more ‘popular’ places for day trips. We loved coming back here in the evening. For anyone travelling with young children, there is a playground opposite the villa which we found great. Thank you, Athanasios, for the great recommendations and warm welcome!

Our experience at Secret Earth was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and taken care of. The place was spotless and beautifully maintained—housekeeping came daily. A special shoutout to Mary, the receptionist/concierge, who truly went above and beyond. She was so kind, helpful, and full of great recommendations that really made our trip special. Her attention and warmth made a huge difference. We were also greeted with fresh fruit, cheese, and bread—which was such a lovely touch after a long journey. Everything about this stay exceeded our expectations. We’d come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

Impeccable accommodation, well equipped, very clean and well arranged, welcoming and responsive host, The only small downside was the busy road, we thought we were in a slightly more remote setting with the sea below but nothing to say about the accommodation itself, the parking space was very convenient!

We had a lovely stay here. Eva was always responsive and provided great recommendations.

The place was lovely and quiet, away from all the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas. Georgios was fantastic and extremely helpful with recommendations and assistance in travel.

We had a great time in Avignon! The host advised us on many places to visit. The accommodation is a 2-minute walk from Perissa beach which is a real plus. Renting a means of transport to discover the island is essential, but we were very well helped by the host to find everything we needed!

Makerouta is a great host. She is so patience and helpful. The house is close to the bus station. Located in a quiet area but within few minutes, there are so many nice restaurants nearby and the foods are great. walking distance to black sand beach. Thank you for your help during our stay!

We had a great stay! The place was really nice, clean, and super close to the beach. Also, the host was very friendly and helpful, she gave us a lot of tips! Would totally recommend.

The hosts were very friendly and always willing to help. When we arrived they welcomed us sincerely and made sure we felt at home. Everything looked and was exactly like the pictures and was very clean. The jacuzzi is completely private and cleaned multiple times everyday! We were able to relax very well. Really a highlight The location is a short walk away of the beach and all the beaches aren’t far away. Our stay was 10/10 we would really recommend staying here!

We had the best week staying at this beautiful location located away from the busy town and right next to the vineyard. I highly recommend to anyone wanting a private non resort/hotel. The hot tub was lovely to use however it could be cleaner.

Just a stones throw distance from the beach, with pretty much everything you need within a 5 minute walk, a small but complete apartment, the office is underneath the apartment, open all day and the host always more then happy to help you with any question or tips. When I arrived, a sandstorm had hit the island the day before so the whole island was covered in sand, the cleaning lady noticeably spent a lot of extra effort to get the place spotless again. No matter when I entered the office, David, our host, was always in happy mood and always found time for some chitchat, a great guy! Parking our rental car was never an issue, there was an semi fenced in area just behind the apartments, which is an old campsite. We were there late may early June, so a bit before main season, so it gets busier in main season. In short, we had a great stay and would highly recommend it if you are not looking for something super fancy and relaxing.
