I stayed at this home for a week in May with my family and it was incredible! We had the most amazing time. Photos do not do this property justice!! The sunsets are GORGEOUS. We never wanted to leave.Not only was the property stunning, the team always went above and beyond to make our stay was fantastic and memorable. My mom left a few items in the closet by mistake and the team helped us get them back to us—just one example of how we felt so taken care of.We will be back!!

Best VRBO rental every

We loved our stay here. We were three generations and everyone thought Villa Kea was perfect. Property manager incredibly responsive and the Villa had all the amenities you could want. The views and outdoor space are incredible. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy the view and the Villa is convenient to many areas on Crete. The highlight was the private chefs we booked through Alexandra our last night. Our best meal in Greece while watching the sunset over the Ocean. I hope to return someday to this perfect and special spot.

Fantastic

This property has a stunning setting with elevated views of the ocean and direct views of the sunset. The grounds are amazing. We played tennis, swam and the pool, and lounged in the outdoors seating areas in the evening soaking in the sunset. The property is well located between Chania and Rethymno. We also traveled to Kissamos (Balos Beach Trip), Elafonissi Beach, and the Palace of Knossos, which were all less than a 2 hour drive from the house. We also enjoyed cooking out in the evenings or being able to walk to Almyrida for dinner.

Great Home With An Amazing View

We really enjoyed our stay - beautiful home and good location. A 5 minute walk to a small supermarket and 15 minute walk into the town with a beach, restaurants, bars and larger supermarkets. The home was very well appointed for our group of 5 adults. We enjoyed beautiful sunset views. Property manager was great - reached out before our vacation to help with planning our trip - dinner suggestions, car rental, tour reservations. She helped us schedule a chef to come prepare dinner for us one evening. Food was amazing! A nice welcome basket with coffee and snacks was also provided.

Whilst this an amazing villa in terms of location and outside facilities like the pool, tennis court and outdoor kitchen The inside of the villa is lacking small rooms uncomfortable beds frequent problems with water supply cable tv and appliances. Almyrida has some amazing restaurants but you need a car as walking on the road to town is dangerous. The local beach is lovely for swimming but the villa is not suitable for families with grandparents or very young children due to multiple steps and stairs. The kitchen is very well stocked and bbq is great for family dinners. The manager of the villa is abrupt and sometimes rude.

Dear David, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're very pleased to hear you enjoyed the villa’s beautiful location, the outdoor facilities — including the pool, tennis court, and BBQ area — and the well-equipped kitchen. These are all aspects that many of our guests love and mention in their reviews. We’d like to clarify a few points you mentioned. The presence of multiple levels and stairs is clearly shown in our photos and detailed in the villa’s description, as we want all guests to have a clear understanding of the layout before booking. While the design may not suit all age groups equally, many families have enjoyed their stay with multigenerational groups. Regarding the water supply issue — this is part of a wider infrastructure challenge in the region and unfortunately beyond our direct control. That said, we do our best to respond quickly to any disruptions when they occur. As for the TV, we provide a smart TV with streaming capabilities rather than cable TV, which is not advertised as part of the amenities. The appliance issue you referred to concerned one of the two dishwashers, we are sorry it stopped working during your stay and are now installing a brand new replacement. We were also surprised by your comments on the room sizes and beds. No other reviews have mentioned small bedrooms or uncomfortable beds, and many guests have commented positively on the comfort and layout of the villa. Finally, we’re genuinely sorry to hear that you found the service from our manager to be less than satisfactory. This feedback stands out, as more than half of our 5-star reviews specifically highlight how happy guests were with the service and especially praise the manager for being helpful, responsive, and welcoming. Nonetheless, your experience matters to us, and we will take your comments into consideration to ensure that every guest feels well cared for. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best in your future travels. Warm regards, Alexandra.

Most Epic House Ever for our well travelled Family!

If this house is even close to your budget book it now! We have traveled with our adult kids to many European locations and they still can't believe how perfect, luxurious, and epic this house was for our week in Crete. The sunset views (just an enhancement of the amazing view all day) demanded that we use the outdoor cooking space almost every night. Learning how to successfully cook oven fired pizza in the outdoor area was a fun family win. Views of the mountains, bay, and sea from every level stunned us every morning and all day. The local beach town of Almyrida was way better than expected, we did lunches there a few times. Launched the included sup boards from there. This house was so stunning it was difficult to leave, but we balanced day trips (to Knossos, Preveli, and Elafonisi) with full days hanging at the pool.

Wonderful home and experience (with some reservations)

Beautiful home and property. Well appointed and suitable for multiple families. Given the price point, however, I would expect more essentials being provided in the home such as laundry/wash pods, paper products, etc. The cost isn't much for the owner and it creates some minor inconvenience to the renter. Owner/manager were very kind and accommodating. One note of caution: I would highly recommend any prospective renter obtain insurance coverage for the home as upon departure, the home is looked over incredibly close and minor issues are raised by the owner and payment expected.

Dear Michael, We are so pleased you enjoyed KEA. It was a pleasure hosting you and your lovely family, and we hope to see you again. Thank you for your suggestions, we will certainly consider providing the essentials you mention for the duration of our guests’ stay, not only for the initial days we already provide. For the reassurance of our guests, we do check the villa very carefully between after check out and before check in. Minor issues / normal wear and tear are not expected to be paid, only damages. All the best, Alexandra.

Wow - just wow !

There are 3 excellent reasons for staying at Villa Kea. Firstly, the villa is fantastic. The pictures don't come close to doing it justice. Everything is perfectly prepared and laid out, there's everything you'd need for a perfect holiday, and nothing at all has been skimped on. Secondly, the location is to die for. The views, the breeze, the sunsets over the sea, the sun on the mountains are all exceptional. Just a few minutes away is Almyrida with enough disparate restaurants to keep any family happy, and a great little bakery for fresh bread every morning. Chania is a short drive, as are plenty of villages, beaches, tavernas etc, but the villa feels totally isolated and private even though it's only two minutes from the coast road. Finally, Alexandra is a dream to work with on the booking and Carina is a total star on the day-to-day management. We had a local power / water issue, totally out of their control, but they grabbed the problem and enhanced our holiday - textbook, perfect customer service, all delivered with humour and a smile. Just book it - you won't be disappointed !

House is in an ideal spot. Beautiful views, wonderful amenities, and beaches everywhere. Owner and manager were excellent! Very well stocked with household and outdoor items. Great pool. Positioned between two little towns with beaches, shops and restaurants. Would definitely come again. Know there will be cicadas outside in summer.

Det blev ferien vi aldrig glemmer og en speciel tak skal lyde til Alexandra og Carina for deres uvurderlige hjælp da vi blev ramt af diverse sygdom der krævede kontakt til det græske sundhedssystem.

Wonderful house

We had a wonderful holiday in this house this summer. The view over the bay is incredible and it was a dream come true every morning. The house is well equipped, clean, tastefully furnished. Everything in the house was perfect and the person who greeted us at the house was very kind and available all the time if needed. The service was impeccable. The pool is large and suitable for all ages as there are several depths. There are many good restaurants in the area which made our stay even more enjoyable. A highlight was being able to watch a sea turtle in the bay from our terrace.

Perfect location

The villa is situated at the cliffs with a beautiful view over the bay. The whole area is very lovely decorated . There are a lot of beautiful places around the house, sunchairs, lounge groups, fatboys and two dining tables. You will find everything you need for a perfect vacation, two BBQs and a full equipped kitchen, even a fridge at the pool, air matrasses, sunshades for the beach and sets of boules. Everything is well organized (check in and out, cleaning...). We had a wonderful time here with five persons, but there would be space for eight. Four very nice furnished bedrooms with a wonderful view. We really miss it!!!
