This villa is in a fabulous location metres from the sea. You can hear the waves and the views are so stunning. It’s a quiet area a few tavernas and a well stocked small supermarket within a minutes walk. The outdoor space at this villa was our highlight. Plenty of decent sun beds and shades. Gas BBQ was a hit. We didn’t spend hardly anytime in the villa itself except to sleep but it it very spacious. Played table tennis most nights we all enjoyed. The bed sheets and towels were replaced during our stay which was nice. We drove into Rhythmone ( about 15 minutes away) for a day definitely worth a visit. Taxi is about 18 euros. A few issues we had were quickly sorted by the owner. Could do with a little updating in places but it would never put me off booking this villa again.

Three generations holiday

We had a warm welcome from Roula, the owner who was in touch every day for queries and information and snags we’re resolved same day. We spent a glorious fortnight at Golden Sand Villa and apart from the large family spaces, great pool and outdoor areas, amazing aircon in all rooms and it’s proximity to tavernas and a supermarket ( but felt very private and secure) we were there when turtles were coming onto the beach to make nests snd lay their eggs, what a bonus!

Fabulous house in a brilliant location

Absolutely loved this place - being able to access the beach was such a treat, as was the conveniently situated supermarket and nearby tavernas. We also got the bus into Rethmyno and taxis home so there really is no need for a car if you want a lazy holiday! The house is well equipped and very comfortable, we especially enjoyed the outside areas. The only downside is it’s proximity to a very busy highway - it’s pretty noisy and the bedrooms on that side of the property near the brunt of it, so not good if you’re a light sleeper.

Amazing villa in a perfect location!

This was one of the best villas we have ever stayed in. The communication with the management company was exceptional. After the initial booking I changed the date, the number of people staying and had lots of questions. Each time I had such a quick reply to all my queries - thank you! The villa is very clean and well appointed. There are 6 en-suite bedrooms, plus 2 additional bathrooms, one with a shower. The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped with everything needed for our stay. The best feature of this villa is its location. The lovely beach is just in front of the house and it was so relaxing to get up in the morning and look at the sea. There is a well stocked supermarket close by and we ate in 6 different tavernas, all in walking distance. The food was delicious and very good value. We spent most of our time relaxing around the pool. The sun beds were very good quality and pool towels were supplied. There is also a large table in a covered area which was perfect to sit around during the evening. Roula, the owner of the villa, is a lovely lady who came round to check on the pool a few times. She brought us a beautiful bowl of fruit and a bottle of wine when we arrived. We were a family group of 8 people and we all had an amazing week in this beautiful villa. I hope we get the chance to stay there again.

My family and I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the beach location.

The best thing about this villa is its spacious interior with 6 nicely presented bedrooms, all with en suites. Its location on a sandy beach, walking distance from a local restaurant and supermarket makes it a perfect stay for people who just want to stay put. There are very good local restaurants and Roula, the owner, is more than happy to assist in any way she can. She popped in daily to check on pool and was friendly without being obstrusive. A lovely lady. The pool area with its covered veranda to oneside is great too. A perfect place to sit out of the sun, and the pool table provides endless fun. If I had any criticisms I would say the kitchen could maybe do with a makeover and perhaps some cereal bowls! I would recommend this villa without hesitation.

Lovely Villa in a unique situation

We were a family of 3 generations and had a wonderful holiday in a unique situation with a pool and the beach within a 50 metres. The sea was mixed, still calm and very peaceful and wild which was great fun. Glorious sunsets and watching turtles hatching made this a memorable holiday

Fantastic

We have just come back from an amazing holiday in this villa - Roula was so helpful and friendly and will do everything she can to help. The villa is large, the pool really warm and the sea is just at the end of the garden. We had a once in a lifetime experience watching rare loggerhead turtles hatch on the beach right at the end of the garden - INCREDIBLE.

Fantastic Villa with friendly owner

We had a wonderful 2 weeks here in this beautiful and well-equipped villa. It is wonderfully located from the sea - just stroll down through the extended garden and you are there. The best thing about the villa though is the owner, Rula. She will do anything to make you happy! I needed to see a doctor at one point, and she drove me around looking for one that was open, and then spent the whole morning looking for a pharmacy that was open for my prescription (while I waited by the pool!). She really is an angel. She also provided toys and a paddling pool for the children and mosquito repellant when we needed it. Lots of nice restaurants very close-by too. Highly recommended and an easy 1 hour drive from Heraklion Airport.

Relaxing stay, well looked after.

The villa was clean and had everything we needed. Good location with lovely view of the sea, very easy to access to the beach, 30 second walk down to the front. Bedrooms were a good size all with en suite, although shower cubicles were tiny, there is a bath in 1 of the rooms. There is a shop 2 minute walk up the path which has good selection of food as well as the classic holiday stuff (sun cream, inflatables etc). There are quite a few resturants within easy walking distance, all with similar menu but good food. Roula the owner is lovely and was more Than happy to help us out with anything we needed, we even got some lovely fresh oranges from her family's farm.

Familienurlaub

Der Aufenthlt in der Villa war super. Sehr nette Vermieterin, die jeden Tag vorbei kam, den Pool säuberte und nach Wünschen fragte. Sie hat uns Obst und eigenes Olivenöl mitgebracht und uns auch beim Check-out in aller Herrgottsfrühe persönlich verabschiedet. Die Villa selbst ist toll. Der zum Pool offene Wintergarten mit Tichtennisplatte, großem Tisch, Gasgrill und einem kleinen Tisch mit Bank für die Kinder zum Basteln oder malen hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Lage der Villa mit direktem Zugang zu Strand und Meer ist perfekt. Fazit insgesamt: ein gelungener und schöner Urlaub.

Traumhafte Location

Ein traumhafter Urlaub. Zur Feier der abgeschlossenen Matura sind wir zu zehnt in die Villa gereist. Ein Traum! Die Villa hat eine super Lage. 1h transfer vom Flughafen Heraklion, 15 min mit dem Taxi in die nächste große City - Rethimno, welche sehr empfehlenswert ist sich anzusehen. Der Supermarkt ist mit einem Fußweg von 2min zu erreichen und das Meer ist direkt vor der Türe. Also ein Auto ist nicht notwendig, alles ist bestens zu erreichen. Die Dame welcher das Haus gehört ist auch sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie kommt jeden Morgen um den Pool zu reinigen und bietet zusätzlich ohne Kosten an während dem Aufenthalt vorbei zu kommen um nach Wünschen zu reinigen. Die Zimmer selbst sind alle sehr ordentlich und schön, mit einer funtionierenden Klimaanlage ausgestattet und einem sauberen Badezimmer. Der Pool ist ebenfalls ein Traum und sehr zu genießen. Ein Tischtennistisch ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Der Grill ist hervorragend für einen gemütlichen Grillabend in der Villa mit Blick auf das Meer. Im Endeffekt kann ich Ihnen die Villa wirklich nur weiterempfehlen. Alle 10 von uns haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und die Zeit bis zum letzten Tag genossen. Sehr Empfehlenswert!!

Familienferien sind gelungen

Wir waren drei Familien gemeinsam in dem Haus in den Ferien. Platzmässig war es eine perfekte Wahl. 11 Personen und es war immer genug Raum, oder wenn jemand seine Ruhe wollte war auch das kein Problem. Die grösseren Kinder konnten nach Lust und Laune im Pool oder am Meer baden. Wir haben vor allem die Aussenanlage genutzt, heisst auch der grosse Tisch draussen ist wunderbar, obwohl zu elft schon etwas eng. Verkehrstechnisch gut erschlossen und nah zu Reythimno. Gute Ausgangsposition für diverse Ausflüge auch ins Landesinnere. Aufgrund der naheliegenden Schnellstrasse ist es nie ganz ruhig, uns hat dies aber nicht gross gestört, da es mit Kindern sowieso selten ruhig ist :-) Die Küche und deren Ausstattung empfanden wir als Familien-Selbstkocher teilweise eher als Herausforderung, machbar, aber bei einer Unterkunft für 12 Personen haben wir etwas anderes erwartet. Die vielen kleinen Mängel im Haus (Bsp.: defekte Küchenschranktüren, freie hängende Steckdosen, defekte Stühle im Aussenbereich, etc.) wären unserer Meinung mit ein wenig Pflege leicht zu beheben und würden einen anderen Gesamteindruck hinterlassen. Super, fanden wir den Service mit den schönen und grossen Badetüchern, welche abgegeben werden und das Saubermachen und frische Betten machen Mitte der Woche, das war sehr sehr gut! und auch nötig bei al dem Sand :-) Alles in allem , haben wir unseren Urlaub im Oktober bei sehr angenehmen Wetter sehr genossen - in der Hochsaison wäre uns der Preis für das Haus aber definitiv zu hoch. Künftige Gäste darüber informieren, dass Badetücher abgegeben werden, da kann man sich etwas Gepäck sparen!

Großzügige Zimmer. Viele kleine Mängel

Im großen und ganzen ein gelungener Urlaub vor Ort. Um die Villa herum ist alles etwas provisorisch und nichts fürs Auge. Am Strand liegt viel Treibholz und Steine. Ansonsten ist es Sandstrand, was ja nicht überall in Griechenland der Fall ist. In der Villa selber waren viele kleine Dinge kaputt oder nur halbherzig verarbeitet. Auch hatten wir teilweise Ameisenstraßen in der Küche. Auch waren die Duschen für manche von uns sehr klein oder auch undicht. Manchen Henkel von Türen oder Schubladen gingen auf Grund von mangelhafter Verarbeitung schnell ab. Also wenn man ins Detail guckt findet man auf jeden Fall viele kleine Baustellen, die man hätte besser machen bzw. beheben können. Wir waren mit 11 Personen in dem Haus und teilweise hat man keinen angetroffen. Also wenn man möchte kann man sich hier auch gut aus dem weggehen. Räumlichkeiten sind sehr großzügig. Betten komfortabel. Wir waren eine Woche da. Die Haushälterin kommt jeden Morgen gegen 7 und macht den Pool etwas sauber. Gegen Mitte des Urlaubs wurde das Haus komplett durchgewischt und die Betten neu bezogen. Direkt um die Ecke gibt es einen kleinen Supermarkt und eine Taverne wo man gut essen gehen kann. Auch eine Apotheke ist nicht weit. Da die Villa nahe an der Schnellstraße liegt, kommt schnell überall hin. Die Geräusche der Straße hat man fast garnicht wahrgenommen. Wir hatten vor Ort viel Spaß und waren im großen und ganzen echt zu Frieden. Es wäre schön wenn die vielen kleinen Mängel noch behoben werden, damit auch zukünftige Besucher sich noch wohler fühlen.

Wonderful stay

The house is absolutely amazing, well-equiped, wide open spaces, big pool and garden ; and the fact that the beach is just at the end of the garden made our stay wonderful. We had a really great time during our week on this location. But I have to say that the only problem we had was a big one : the host Rula was here everyday, entering inside the house or the garden without warning at any moment of the day, and when we said to her that we were feeling inconfortable with her visits, she didn't change anything. On the middle of our week, she came one morning with all the cleaning crew, entered in all the rooms to make a big cleaning up like if we were living the house (it was wednesday), and we were stuck out the house in the garden during almost 2hours. I know that Rula only wanted to do well, but it was very intrusive and unconfortable for us, and we felt like we were spied and watched. Still we absolutely recommend the house and the location, but the host needs to be more discreet, and come only once in the week to ask if everything is ok, not everyday
