Rental unit in Limenas Chersonisou
4.79 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviewsLuxury SeaSide Suite with View (1st)
Great acommidation in the heart of Chersonissos. Apartment has nice vibe and the seaview is amazing. Even though the apartments is just next to the nightlife there wasn’t too much noise coming to inside. There was a small supermarket 10 meters from the house and an endless amount of restaurants and bars. Thanks!
Rental unit in Anissaras
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 19 reviewsCosy apartment just next to the sea!
We had a lovely stay in this small but nice apartment! The location is fantastic – everything we needed was within walking distance which made our visit very enjoyable. The apartment itself was clean and equipped with the most important things. Although the area was a bit noisy due to the hotel complex next door, that didn't bother us and we were still able to sleep well (maybe just take Ohropax with us:)). Overall, we were very satisfied and would definitely return. Thank you for the hospitality!

Athina is a wonderful host. The location is very clean, perfect for a relaxing holiday, close to the beach and taverns. Would definitely recommend for a stay in Crete.
Rental unit in Stalis
5 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviewsStalis Lux Beach Apartment
The apartment was ideally located, very close to the beach and restaurants, but we were not disturbed by any noise whatsoever. Plenty of space for a couple and a small child. The outdoor terrace has a good view of the sea. Magdalena was the perfect host, arranging transport to and from the airport and quickly responded to any questions we had. We basically had a very good time and will hopefully return in the future.
Townhouse in Heraklion
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 46 reviewsCasa Evriali, 100 meters from the beach.
The place was very clean and beautifully located close to a quiet beach. In the terrace, for example, you could have a wonderful breakfast in the morning. Communication with the host was always friendly and very accommodating. Overall highly recommended for larger groups.

Serviced apartment in Gazi
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 26 reviews"Havana 4" Sea and Pool
Our stay at Aleksandros went extremely well. We loved the place and the atmosphere of the place. The fact that the accommodation is in a beach club made it easy for us to enjoy the restaurant. The waiters were lovely! Our 2 year old son had space and could enjoy the pool as much as the beach. Small downside if you plan to stay on site to eat, the amenities of the accommodation remain limited but Aleksandros is available whenever needed. We highly recommend the place!!!

Hotel room in Kato Gouves
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviewsSole Mare Seaside apts-Sunset & SeaView Studio 2
Highly recommended, the pool just behind the house relaxing and breakfast is everywhere around the corner as we were always on the road, the parking is right in front of the house and not on the road is a huge plus. We would come back. Greetings Petra
Villa in Ligaria
5 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviewsNew Villa HALO just 100m from the beach
Yekaterina welcomed us very warmly and super flexibly. Our flight was delayed in the evening and then our suitcases were also gone. She immediately offered her help and was super quick to respond to questions. She does all the management around the house very, very great! The house is exactly as described. A fantastic outdoor facilities and in 3 minutes you are on the beach. We would like to thank Yekaterina very much for being our host and send best regards to Crete.
Home in Hersonissos
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviewsFotini Anisaras Apartments "Α"
Only stayed for one night but this was a good place to stay. It is a bit small for two grown ups and two kids but if you keep things organized it's still a pleasant stay. WiFi was way too slow for remote work but connecting my laptop to my phone's hotspot saved the day. Maria was very friendly and helpful so this place is definitely a good option for couples and even families who don't need big indoor spaces.
Rental unit in Hersonissos, Limenas Hersonissos
5 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsKhroma Luxury Suite 3 beach front apartment
Perfectly located right on the beach, it offered stunning views that were simply breathtaking. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The apartment itself was spotless and well-equipped, with all the amenities we could ask for. The decor was inviting and made us feel right at home. Waking up to the beach front every morning was a truly magical experience. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience in Crete.

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 30 reviews* * *Ammira Mare* *Maisonette near sea with pool
My boyfriend and I spent two days at Ammira Mare and was just what we needed. The location was beautiful and offered a relaxing atmosphere. Fanis, our host, was friendly and helpful, making sure we had what we needed during our visit. The facilities were clean, and the beach was a short walk away, which was a nice perk (although we did enjoy the pool as well) Overall, everything was great, the house was perfectly cleaned and we had everything we needed. Thank you Fanis!! We will definitely come back!

Rental unit in Iraklio
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 88 reviewsCentral Boutique apt with Sea View & Free Parking
Exceptionally clean and modern flat in the Old Town of Heraklion. Parking was a dedicated space in the basement and easy to use. The instructions were excellent, we arrived at about midnight and had no problem checking in, the tsikoudia and sesame sticks were very welcome! The wraparound balcony was a bonus, we really did have part views over the harbour although the airport at the other end of town is apparent, with the efficient air conditioning and windows closed, there was no noise at night. We asked for local restaurant recommendations, which we booked and enjoyed, as well as those just around the corner in the little square. Everything in the old town was walkable and it was easy to drive out to explore more of the beautiful island and extraordinary history.
Rental unit in Stalida
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviewsBeachfront flat with a panoramic view of the bay
Super nice bright and well decorated apartment. We felt at home. Lovely balcony overlooking the sea. Eva was there to greet us and explain about the apartment. There was free bread and various delicacies in the fridge. Quick, friendly, and welcoming communication with Eva. We can highly recommend the apartment.

We spent a week in George's apartment with a toddler and had a great time. We read about the sea view and ocean sounds in the reviews before, but our expectations were surpassed. Just wonderful! The beach bar in the building made the beach vacation perfect for us.

Rental unit in Limenas Chersonisou
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 36 reviewsRenata Mare Beachfront Studios, Studio 3 Sea View
I can only say, if you want a warm welcome and comfort and quiet in the middle of the busy activity of Chersonissou… this is the place. I read a review about the bathroom.. yes, if you are expecting a large hotel bathroom it is small but it is Greece on an Island… everything in the space was perfect. We loved every thing and his parents were like second family and made us feel so welcomed. I can not say enough❤️
