We had a great stay in Dugi Rat. The apartment is brand new, decorated very tastefully and it creates very relaxing environment. The apartment is located on the ground floor. It has nice terrace with hot tub that we all really enjoyed in the evenings! The terrace is covers by olive and other trees which is great because give you a lot of privacy as we well as shade on hot days ( we had 30-36C during the day in the shade!). However if you look through the trees you can see the sea, which is only across the road. Beach is great we were in the middle of August and it felt as private, always had a lot of space. Also there was a beach bar few meters away and another posher bars about 5-10 min walk. I will try to post some photos without us in it :).
The host speaks excellent English and he is very nice to deal with. His grandpa welcomed us every day and we always exchange a few words in Croatian, Polish or English. Very pleasant gentlemen :) , he leaves there and looks after the plants and gives you a parasol for the beach if you would like one. I think this is also a great location if you want to visit Omis, Makarska, Split or Trogir, we traveled to all of these cities during our stay. We would definitely go back to Ivan’s apartment again! Highly recommend!
