Modern design in old stone house /w Garden
A lovely property in the middle of Split old town, walking distance from lots of restaurants and the main attractions. The house is beautifully designed, clean and has the necessities. Parking is a bit tight but a small price to pay for the location.

Ivana is one of the best host I have ever met! Very responsive and even introduced us about Split with a map when we first arrived! :) The house is perfectly clean and the location is super, will definitely come back again!

Split,Apartment 55,courtyard in the center of town
Just loved staying at Dijana’s place. The courtyard is wonderful. The apartment is well laid out, had a washer and dryer, and a well equipped kitchen. Loved the area as well - very walkable to the historic areas of Split. We want to stay a month or longer! Dijana is a very responsive host as well. We definitely recommend this location for anyone visiting Split!

Superman
A nice experience in the center of split

Beach cottage with private parking & garden
Bruno took care of everything in advance. Private transfer from the airport was great. Was received by the brother who showed me everything on site. Accommodation was cozy, everything available and clean. Everything is within walking distance. Beach/sea almost at your doorstep. Sound location. Gladly again.

Penthouse for 6 - Split/ with jacuzzi/free parking
Marina is a very sweet and helpful woman! She can also tell you a lot about Split and the surrounding area. We enjoyed her beautiful, luxurious and neat penthouse. Everything has been thought of and everything is there. We recommend everyone to stay here

Red Apartment in an Old Stone House
Neno was responsive and a great host. We arrived late into Split and he was very kind to wait and lead us to the airbnb. The Airbnb is in a great location with grocery stores, restaurants, bakeries and Diocletian's Palace all within 5-10 minutes walking distance. The place was spacious for 5 people. Bonus is the balcony where we enjoyed sitting for morning coffee!

Dalmatian traditional house (3 beds+2 ext)
We immediately felt comfortable in the old stone house, which was renovated on the outside and modernized inside. We liked the spacious terrace with the fantastic view over the sea to the islands. The interior is mostly equipped with high-quality solid wood furniture. Otherwise, the furnishings leave nothing to be desired. The sleeping area under the roof looks cozy, the beds are very comfortable. Overall we liked the quiet and very private location of the house. There are a few restaurants that can be reached on foot. We liked the Konoba Argola (definitely reserve at least one day before) with its beautiful terrace. The mountain road with its narrow hairpin turns is a little annoying, but there are plenty of alternative options along the route, and very few to no vehicles are encountered.

Apartment Liam Split old town Lučac
We have traveled all over Europe, but always opted for hotels, this was our first time abroad using Airbnb. We loved the freedom this gave us, the ease and comfort knowing you are dealing with people in person. The hosts are wonderful

Seaside penthouse with Hot tub "SKY LIVING"
We had such a wonderful time staying here. It's about a 30 minute walk to the centre of Split, which is absolutely magical. But sometimes just sitting outside or in the hottub and staring at the beautiful scenery was enough for us. Such a wonderful luxurious experience - and a very special thanks to Katarina who was incredibly responsive and helpful whenever we had questions.

Charming place in Split Centre (with free bikes)
Very responsive and caring host always responded promptly to my requests. Ideal location for discovering the beautiful city of Split and its surroundings. I highly recommend Zlatko's house.

D&D apartament
Amazing location to the port, easily accessible to ferry to other islands!

D&D Luxury Promenade Apartment
Vanja's apartment was perfectly positioned for us. less than 15 minutes drive from the airport and directly opposite a little harbour and beach. kastel Luksic is almost in the middle of the Kastela region and it is possible to walk in either direction of the apartment and see all of the kastels with their historic buildings and fortresses. There are pubs and restaurants all along also and the B Cool Brewery just across the road is great for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. The apartment had everything we needed for preparing simple meals. large fridge which was handy to keep lots of drinks cool. Everything was spotlessly clean and it was handy to have the washing machine. The only negative was the hot water didn't stretch to four of us for showers in the morning so we had to have 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening although we were unlucky to have a look of rain and wind but in really hot weather a colder shower would of been preferable probably.

Kate Apartment - Family Home with a View
We had a great stay at this place which is nice, spacious and convenient. Access to the beach is direct, which is a major asset. Access to Split is easily 10min by car / Uber or 15-20min by Bus. Host is attentive and responds quickly I highly recommend this place that allowed us to have a wonderful vacation.

New villa El Nido with heated pool * * * * *
We are so glad we got to connect with Vernesa and Denisa! They made our stay very enjoyable and went above and beyond to make sure we were having the best stay ever. They really worked hard, which was very much appreciated. They even upgraded the Wifi while we were there, and it's now SUPER Fast, over 300mbps - so important for us working online. We fell in love with the home and stayed a total of 65 nights, and the only thing we didn't get to experience was the pool as we were there in Winter. The area has an entire community of cats and dogs, which was entertaining for our dog Shadow. Just 10 minutes away, we became members of the Hotel President Spa, which was recommended by Vernesa and Denisa and was such a good investment for us every morning with Sauna and steam. They spoiled us with gifts, and we became friends. This place is perfect for people who want to care for a home and feel welcome and warm. We will be back here, and I am looking forward to it - See you soon guys 🥳

Beach Apartment A2
We spent 3 nights at Ivan’s apartment and all went well. The place is as described and nicely located, very close to a beach and close to Split (also close to Split airport btw). We very much appreciated the shadowed terrace for breakfast and dinner. We recommend.

Lyra studio - close to beach/center
Beautiful apartment. Studio with bathroom but the bedroom is well arranged and separated by a wall, it's well thought out. Tastefully decorated, free street parking and very available and welcoming host. The old town is a 10-minute walk away. Perfect for discovering the beauties of Split. We recommend it.

Apartment Hana
Very comfortable apartment, with excellent bedding. Very good welcome with a basket of fruits, alcohols, chocolates, milk, butter, bread, in short enough to hold for the Sunday evening when everything was closed! A beautiful and lovely coffee maker! The terrace is lovely. There is a supermarket, pharmacy and bakery nearby. Just missing a toaster and a few utensils. Very well located apartment for visits.

Your guide to Split
Welcome to Split
At first glance, this Croatian port town on the Aegean Sea seduces the eye with white stone buildings and red-tiled roofs, which glow against the bright blue of the sky and the Mediterranean Sea. As you wander down Split’s narrow streets, you realize that the buildings around you span two millennia, and you find yourself staring upwards, picking out architectural details from the Roman era, the Middle Ages, and the Belle Epoque.
Whether you’re visiting Split at the peak of its bronzed-beachcomber summers or during its moody gray winters, Croatia’s second-biggest city exudes a relaxed vibrancy. The shops and galleries along Marmont Street (Marmontova Ulica), as well as its seafood market, are bustling no matter what time of year. In the warmer months, locals and visitors alike while away the afternoon at the bars and cafes flanking the beach at Bačvice, or settle into open-air restaurant tables along the Riva, the city’s seaside promenade, for a leisurely dinner and plenty of crowd-watching.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Split
The mild Mediterranean climate of the Dalmatian Coast brings plenty of visitors to Split. Like most of the region, winter is gentle here, though no one’s shimmying into bathing suits for a long day on the waterfront — the regular rains and winds green up the hillsides and keep locals indoors. April ushers in a flower-filled spring, and the whole town turns out for Krnjeval (Mardi Gras), celebrating with masked balls and parades. From late May through early September, the dry heat begins. With little rain and temperatures in the 80s and 90s Fahrenheit, Split’s beaches and tourist attractions fill up, and the pleasure boats on the sea proliferate. Croatians and foreigners alike descend on Split in July and August for the Summer Festival, when some of the city’s most scenic sites host open-air concerts and ballets. If you’d prefer to see a more serene side of Split, book one of the area’s vacation rentals for mid-September through October, when the water is still warm, the days are still sun-drenched, but the crowds have gone.
Top things to do in Split
Tour Diocletian’s Palace
Few Roman sites from 1,700 years ago have the immediacy of the spectacularly preserved Diocletian’s Palace. Built for the emperor back when Split was a village on the outskirts of the more populous Salona (itself now in ruins), Diocletian’s fortress and imperial residence has been absorbed into the surrounding houses and shops. You will shuttle back and forth through the centuries as you wander through the ancient Cathedral of St. Domnius, arched passageways and gates, and the peristyle (central courtyard). Afterward, head to the Archeological Museum to peruse hundreds of Roman artifacts.
Take Some Island Time
You could spend a full year exploring the 1,200 islands off the Croatian coast. If you don’t have a year, take a ferry to Hvar or Brač, two of the biggest, not to mention the easiest, to get to from Split. Hvar draws the internationally rich to its azure bays and graceful villas, and you can wander around the medieval city of Hvar or escape in a car to more remote towns and beaches. On Brač, vineyards and olive groves stripe the mountainside on Vidova Gora, which you can summit by foot in just a few hours, cooling off afterward on Golden Horn Beach.
Climb Marjan Hill
Split is situated on a peninsula that juts into the Aegean, and an expansive natural preserve covers its western tip. A large hill divides the park from the residential neighborhoods on its east flank, and as you climb you’ll pass open-air cafes, a Jewish cemetery, and centuries-old chapels. Many locals treat Marjan as an open-air gym, and you’ll likely spot runners sweating up the steps and climbers feeling their way along the rocky bluffs. If you crest Marjan Hill and head back down on its north side, you’ll reach pine-shaded beaches suited for contemplating the sea rather than stretching out a towel.
