Awesome!

We spent a glorious 3 days in this apartment--waking each morning to warm sunshine as we sipped coffee on the east facing deck overlooking the inlet and watching early morning walkers and runners and listening to the hustle and bustle of the restaurants surrounding the water preparing for the day.Our host was fantastic--explaining, on check-in, all the necessary things to enjoy our stay and use of his home. There were chocolates on our beds at arrival, cookies and cake and coffee pods and water, juice and wine in the fridge for our enjoyment. We've been to a number of VRBO's in the past, and none have surpassed this one!A huge thankyou to our hosts for making our stay wonderful!

Family Dream Rental

There was always something to do here, whether swimming in the ocean which was more calm than a lake, or in the pool or playing basketball or in the backyard player with sand. There were also so many toys! Our kids range from 3-11 and it was an amazing stay for all. As a mother to so many hungry people it meant a lot to me that when we arrived on Saturday evening so many grocery staples (and extras) were waiting for us! How relaxing to not have to wake up and worry about how or where to find food! There were quite a few restaurants nearby as well. The back sitting area under the beautiful pink flowers is like a dream to have breakfast under also. We hope to come back again soon!

Amazing

This little apartment is absolutely a gem. We enjoyed every moment of our stay here so much so that we even extended by an extra day. The hosts were lovely and easy to communicate with, the property was clean and located in the middle of the walking district and a ten minute walk from a lovely beach.

Memories for a lifetime

My husband and I rented this magnificent villa for a month with our 5 month old daughter. We had friends and family members come stay with us for a few days at a time and were looking for a home away from home in Crete to relax and explore this beautiful island. Everything about our stay at the villa has been simply perfect. First of all it was easy getting there and Vasiliki was a fantastic host all throughout our stay, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She provided useful insights about places to visit and was responsive and kind. The house was spotless, the pool as stunning as in the pictures and how about that view!! You can see the mountains in the background, the sea and the beautiful lush green surroundings of the area. The location was ideal, between two small villages with the beautiful quiet Kera beach a few steps from the house. Both nearby villages have supermarkets and pharmacies, and we enjoyed getting fresh fish, meats and other local products from Kalyves. The location was also great for visiting, being near Chania, as we were close enough to see a great number of spots even at the south of the island and thats with a baby! We were able to go to dinner to Chania and drive back at night, we felt very safe on the road. I could go on and on about this place, it was simply magical and allowed us to make memories that will last a lifetime. You can stop searching, rent this place, you will be happy you did.

This place is incredible!!!

Easily the best experience my family has had on vrbo!! The place is gorgeous, clean, quiet and wonderful. The hosts were very helpful: knowledgeable regarding the area, great recommendations for food, assistance for my family as necessary but their generosity knew no bounds—they gave us fruit, olive oil and eggs from their own garden and chicken coop! They are wonderful people! Location is perfect and there’s lots for everyone to do on site or around the town. Each bedroom has a bathroom and the outside area is stellar. Really, just so people don’t think it was too perfect there was no spatula to flip my fresh eggs with. Hahaha! This place was awesome!
