Waterfront vacation rentals in Symi

Just book it - you won’t be disappointed. “As Cute as a button” - was all we could think when we first arrived. We felt blessed to be able to stay in such a beautiful house, so lovingly styled, with such a beautiful view of one of the prettiest islands in Greece. We thought Symi town was stunning, and sitting on that sun drenched huge balcony you got to take in the magnificent views throughout the day. Maria (number one to us!!!) is a delightful host, going out of her way to make your stay a memorable one. She met us in Rhodes to give us the keys, with such kindness and warmth. We had lovely treats awaiting us on our arrival, and all the necessary basics needed in the kitchen. If you want a bit of an adrenaline rush, catch the local bus to the other end of the island to the monastery. Harrowing to say the least- Locals praying! In closing, when we were walking out the door on our final day, my husband said that he would come back in a heartbeat. What more can I say....

Perfect location. Close to everything. The apartment is spacious, clean and with a great view. The only drawback is that it's in the center, so music and people are busy until 2am. It can be a nuisance for those who are obsessed with sound and want to go to bed early at night.

Amazing host and amazing view! Ioannis’s was very helpful, greeted me off the ferry even though it’s less than 10 min walk, waiting with a taxi!! This was so well appreciated with the heat! Had a supply of water, bottle of wine and Symi biscuits waiting on arrival. The terrace and view with this apartment is 10/10. The apartment itself on the inside is basic but has all the amenities you need and was spotless. Aircon was so good. The location was perfect for me as I enjoyed that it was out of the main town hustle and bustle but close enough to walk in 10 mins. This is not a tranquil setting lots of ferries horns and motorbikes whizzing by so if this kinda noise bothers you then avoid but I was fine with it. WiFi was a bit in and out. My only other criticism and is minor is the shower is a bit awkward with the shower curtain and angle you either get water all over the floor or you get stuck to the curtain. Ioannis’s is available whenever you need and extremely friendly and helpful.

Beautiful stay at the over the sea. We were able to get in early and were driven to the apartment which was a lovely touch. The amenities were plentiful and we loved how peaceful it was being able to look over the port. 100% recommend staying here !

This is a great apartment with excellent intimate views of the Boat Harbour. Everything worked great. Proximity to restaurants, shops and beach is perfect Ceyda was a very helpful host.

Villa Penelope surpassed all our expectations, the welcome from Zoi and the beautiful location was perfect. The accommodation was perfect and the location and simplicity was just what we wanted .

This accommodation is a gem. Amazing location right at the water in beautiful Pedi. The tradition of the building has been beautifully maintained so it is quirky and authentic. Spectacular views. Had a pre-breakfast swim every morning. Easy access to water taxis to other beaches. We enjoyed going to Symi port on foot or by bus but loved coming back to the peace of Pedi, which has everything one needs by way local supermarkets and restaurants. We absolutely loved our stay and look forward to returning.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful apartment and Takis and Ecaterina were so welcoming. Takis met us at the port on arrival in Symi and also provided a service to bring us to the port when we were leaving. It is a beautiful location and so clean with all the facilities provided and a lovely touch was the wine and biscuits on arrival. We will definitely return to Pedi on Symi island one day and would definitely recommend this apartment. It is spacious, clean and with the most beautiful view from the balcony. Great place to relax and just chill out. There is a great bus service from Pedi to Symi and the bus stop is within easy walking distance from the apartment. Some nice restaurants in Pedi also within easy walking distance.

What an amazing stay at Mrs Sevasti’s place. The accommodation is traditional (which we liked) and spotlessly clean. The veranda is the highlight - so peaceful with beautiful views over the harbour. Mrs Sevasti’s place is reached by steps which would be challenging for anyone with mobility issues but it is definitely not as high up as a lot of other rentals. It was high enough for fantastic views and a quiet nights sleep without being right at the top of the hill. Mrs Sevasti was quick at responding to messages and even arranged for someone to collect us from the ferry and drive us with our luggage. This coupled with arriving to a bottle of wine was a really lovely touch. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Eftichia, Philomeni's wife, made everything to do our stay the most wonderful. the house was extremely clean and had everything you needed. we had also bee provided with a few pack of water, eggs, and all you need for breakfast (we never had this in an air bnb). the view on the bay is incredible and very quite. if you want a lovely quite place but still near to symi town it is an ideal place. Philomeni his wife Eftichia and their 3 big girls are staying in the house next door and are always ready ad happyto provide any information. thank you for this beautiful stay !

Eirini is a very good, reliable and friendly host. We felt very comfortable in the apartment. Also because it is spotlessly clean and extremely well maintained. Everything is within walking distance from there. The small disadvantage of the central location: It is quite loud, which did not bother us during the day. But at night, the noise of the motorcycles and scooters was pretty intense. So you have to close the windows and shutters if you want to sleep reasonably quietly. But we were happy to accept that. For a week and two people, the apartment was ideal. We would rent them again.

This stay was fantastic, the perfect place to stay in Pedi. Communication was great, and being offered a ride to the apartment from the ferry port was very handy. The place was clean, peaceful, as described, and had everything you need, everything has been thought out very well. Very handy to have a washing machine and ironing board. The sun loungers were great for sitting outside. You can walk to two local beaches, and it's also very convenient for the local store, cafe, restaurant, and the bus stop. We got the bus to the Secret Garden restaurant and walked back - fabulous food and cocktails. There are very cute local cats of course as well! We put water out for them which they seemed to appreciate. The temperature in early October was very nice. We rented electric bikes which was great for getting to Ano Symi and beyond. Amazing views from the hill into the main town, especially at sunset. We enjoyed our stay so much, and were sad to leave! Very much hope we can visit again.

My parents and I had an amazing time here. The house is both very central and far from the hustle and bustle; the general rhythm of the street is of course felt, but it does not disturb in any way. Mr. Şükrü's hospitality is a bonus. I'm sure we'll want to stay here again when we get back to Datça.

Haroula, the mom of Eirini was a gracious host, with excellent advice about the island. We felt at home, welcome and appreciated as is everywhere in the island of Symi. Special, special island and special, special hosts. We thank them for everything from the bottom of our heart and we will most definitely be back. Kisses to our host. Laki and Lyne😊 Haroula, Irini's mom, was a kind host, with great tips for the island. It felt like we were at home, welcomed and appreciated as it happens everywhere on the island of Symi. Incredible, unlikely island and awesome, amazing hosts. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts, and the return is sure. Kisses to Haroula. Lakis and Lin

Erini's place was very convenient - the apartment is just 5 min walk away from where the ferry from Rhodes drops you off and right next to the port, shops and restaurants. Erini was very responsive- we had an issue with the washing machine and she was quick to respond and very kindly did our washing for us. we loved our time in symi

Once we arrived at the apartment we were met by Helen who lived above. She was lovely very helpful and responsive but not intrusive. On the day of our arrival there were basic provisions including some nice homemade jam and honey and cake. The position of the apartment was superb with views over Pedi harbour from a large terrace where you could choose sun or shade. There were two nice restaurants and two cafes nearby and a shop with everything you could need. Pedi was a very friendly place to stay. The nearest beach was walkable with a reasonable level of fitness. Alternatively there was a boat which ran frequently to the beaches.

Very clean and perfectly located apartment. If you're planning on partying a lot this is your place to be!! Beach is right next to it. We also enjoyed the little balcony. The area is easy to get to from the airport (even with public transportation).

A great place to stay if you're planning to visit Rhodes. Walking distance to pretty much everywhere in the city. If you want to party, visit the old town or go to the beach, everything is easily accessible from the apartment. The apartment was great and we have no complaints. Would reccomend it 100%.

Highly recommended ! Great apartment but on 4th floor so its steps up to the apartment which wasnt a problem for us at all but maybe for other people. Great views over the beach and sea. Great location with a five star review on trip advisor with friendly owners bar restaurant directly under the apartment. Beach bars just over the road outside. Lively bars just behind the apartment open til 4am ish. Didnt bother us at all but can hear music. Edge of the old town is say 15 mins walk, centre 25 mins. Easy stroll up there. Taxi and buses not far from the apartment so airport is very accessable 30 mins ish away. Taxi about €30. Evi is a great host and is always available on messages. We met her in our apartment on our way home. Very helpful with check in / check out times. Thank you Evi we had a great 6 days.

This place is great for anyone looking to stay in the heart of Rhodes. This place is where all the fun and magic happen. This place is full of energy as the nightlife, clubs, bars and restaurants are vibrant. If you stay here you won’t be bored as there are so many places just steps away from your place to explore. Highly recommend this place for any guest looking to party and have a good time in Rhodes. ♥️ Our host was also amazing and so responsive. She was very communicative to all our needs. 5 out of 5 stars for this place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I will defintely be coming back to Lilian’s place in the future. 😁

This is a very special apartment hosted by a really special couple!The apartment is like a show home, Absolutely pristine with everything you could possibly want for a superb holiday. The fridge was stocked with enough water for the four of us for the whole week which saved us having to carry bottles back from the shop. Also wine, cheese, ham , fruit juice, butter, bread and the most enormous fruit bowl. As if that wasn’t enough Mary and Kostas offered to drive us to a large supermarket during our stay if we needed it. There are a couple of mini markets within 5 mins walk, together with many restaurants. The apartment is in a quiet road. The bus stop for the tourist and local buses is at the end of the road, 5 mins walk as is the beach. The Old Town is a 15 min walk. Mary and Kostas are the best hosts you could wish for. So helpful and they will organise transport from the airport if you request it. There is not enough room on this review to praise them adequately.

we enjoyed our stay in Lillians apartment, the description and photos matched well what we experienced, only the wifi signal could have been stronger. the host is very friendly and responsive. i wouldn't mind coming again.

Fantastic place and host! My daughter stayed at Lilian’s place and she was very kind and helpful. The view is stunning! And with me the communication was super! Thanks Lilian!

George is an amazing host , he and his wife have been really nice and they have been able to satisfy all our requests. The apartment is super nice , Cousy, full of charme and located in the heart of Symi. We had a great time Symi and if we will come back in the future we will stay without any doubts in the George’s apartment.
