Space

The apartment is on the second floor of a house situated right on the beach. My family and I are staying on the first floor and are available at all times for check-ins, check-outs, any requests or assistance. The house has two floors. The kitchen is equipped with a built-in oven, refrigerator, microwave oven, stove top, filter coffee machine, water kettle and all the necessary dishes. There are indoor and outdoor (balcony) seating arrangements for 6 people. For the sleeping arrangements there are two private bedrooms: one with a double bed and one with a single bed, along with a pull-out daybed for two people in the living room. The daybed can be pulled out into a 160×200 cm bed. We can also provide a travel baby cot, reservation is needed in advance.

There are two large closets for your clothes (hangers included) and luggage, with extra blankets. Bathroom and kitchen have running cold and hot water. Bathroom is equipped with a spacious shower, hairdryer, toiletries, soap and two power outlets. Guests will be provided with fresh towels and bed linen according to mutual agreement. Feel free to request extra linen, blankets, towels or pillows. Using the washing machine can be arranged. The apartment is equipped with all cleaning equipment (vacuum cleaner, mop, detergent), clothes drying rack and iron with ironing board. Mosquito repellent plug-in adapters with extra fillings and tablets included. Docking is possible in front of the house on the beach, contact me to arrange this beforehand. See the listing photos to check out the boat berth. The beach is quite peaceful because it is not in a high traffic area, but this depends on the season.

Bring your dog on vacation, too:) Dogs are allowed in the apartment and can spend time in the garden or on the beach, as long as they are well behaved and do not disturb the neighbors. Sadly, dogs are not allowed to swim or bathe in the sea in front of the house, due to town regulations (the beach is officially part of a town beach). A 200 m walk by the beach will bring you to a beach which is uninhabited and dogs are allowed to swim, run and hike freely. Please note that the garden is not completely fenced. The flat screen TV has only a few Croatian channels, but there is WiFi and a HDMI cable to connect a laptop to the TV if you are bringing one.

Guest access

Guests are invited to use the garden and the garden seating arrangement, pick fresh figs or other seasonal fruit in the garden, the BBQ in the garden and the outdoor shower. Free parking available on the grounds. In front of the house there is an available dock for boats (check listing photos).
