Loved the property and beach access. We loved this place. The ability to walk to town was something we really appreciated. We may be back.

Excellent stay in Blue Oyster 1

We had a brilliant time in the Blue Oyster Villas. Perfect for a holiday with friends, because you have your own house and you stay close together. The beach is really close, you just walk 100 metres and you can enjoy your morning tea in one of the sunbeds. The sea is clear and the beach very clean. The house has everything you could ask for. The kids really enjoyed the table tennis in the basement. And since we likes it so much, we already booked it for next year! The staff is really nice and helpful, too! The filter of the pool was quite loud at the end of the season.

Good afternoon, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing Blue Oyster Villas for your holiday! We’re truly delighted to hear that you and your friends enjoyed your stay, the beach nearby, and the amenities of the villa — especially the table tennis, which is always a favorite among our guests. It’s fantastic to know that you’ve already booked again for next year! We also appreciate your note regarding the pool filter noise. Your feedback is important, and we will make sure this is fully resolved before the next season. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great stay! Warm regards, Michalis Makrykostas Oreotravel Agency

Just Perfect!

Everything was perfect, the location, the accomodation, the cleanliness, the facilities and the staff. Everything you need is nearby and although we had a car you didn’t necessarily need one. Plenty of restaurants, shops and supermarkets in the area. Beach is well maintained and lovely little beach/snack bar. Couldn’t ask for more. Will definately recommend and rebook. The hotel next door is also worth checking out. We had a lovely breakfast one morning and dinner one evening. Top quality but very relaxed. 5 stars all round. Maybe a couple of loungers on the top terrace.

Villa mit Super Lage

Die Villa ist direkt am Strand. Vor der Terrasse mit eigenem Pool hat man einen atemberaubenden Blick aufs Meer. Innerhalb von fünf Gehminuten gibt es tolle Tavernen.

Sehr schöne Ferienvlla direkt am Strand

Leider liegt neben Villa 1 direkt ein Hotel. Da soll jetzt ein Sichtschutz gebaut werden damit man von der höher gelegenen Terrasse nicht direkt in den Privatbereich schauen kann. ansonsten alles super und freundlich. Gute Restaurants zum Abendessen direkt in der Umgebung.

Villa 1 am Strand von Rethymno , kein Auto nötig

Die Villen 1 + 2 sind direkt in erster Reihe zum Meer gelegen und haben die schönste Aussicht+Lage. Fussläufig zu Restaurants, Bars und Supermärkten und insges. ruhig ist die ges. Anlage. Leider wird nicht erwähnt, das an die Villa 1 ein Hotel angebaut wurde vor drei Jahren. Alle Fotos zeigen die neuerbauten Villen bevor das Hotel da war! Von den Hotelterrassen blicken oft Gäste neugierig auf die Terrassen u den Pool der Villa. Die obere Terrasse, von wo man einen wunderbaren unverbauten Blick auf das Meer hat, grenzt direkt an die Bar des Hotels nebenan. Schlafen mit offener Terrassentüre und ohne zugezogene Vorhänge ist nur für Leute geeignet, welche sich nicht durch Dauerbeschallung (war nicht super laut) sowie die Beleuchtung des Hotel, (die die untere und obere Terrasse gut erhellt) und neugierige Hotelgäste, gestört fühlen. Wer privacy möchte, muss eher die Villa 2 buchen. Giorgos betreut alle Gäste und Villen super gut, ist total nett u. hilfsbereit u. spricht fließend deutsch u. ist ständig vor Ort. Unsere kaputte Kaffeemaschine wurde innerhalb 30Min durch eine nagelneue ersetzt. Absolutes weiteres Plus: es gibt einen täglichen Putzservice für die Villen, der im Preis enthalten ist. Wir können die Anlage der "Blue Oyster Villas" auf Kreta empfehlen.

We thank you for taking the time to review our property and for all your valued remarks, as we believe excellent accommodation comes from constant improvement. The new hotel next door respects the quiet hours and we never had complaints in the past. But since you mention it, we will research it.

Excellent location; nice accommodations

My family and I stayed here for one week. House is spacious with excellent views of the beach (we had villa 1 with direct view of the sea). Fantastic location for walking to restaurants, stores, and long walks on the beach. Bedrooms and beds very comfortable. Good have better bathrooms (the hardware and cabinets in not the greatest of shape) and kitchen sink was not functional. Management was VERY accommodating and responsive. Impressed with their professionalism.

Toller Urlaub

Das Haus liegt ruhig gelegen direkt am Strand, der Pool ist perfekt und in wenigen Minuten ist man „im Ort“, der zwar nicht viel zu bieten hat, aber in dem man jeden Abend lecker und günstig essen kann. Wir sind aber auch öfter mit dem auswärts ein paar KM gefahren, es gibt eine Menge in näherer Umgebung. Das Haus ist super in Schuss und es war ein toller Urlaub. Besonders die „gute Fee“ Geourgios (deutschsprachig) ist immer in der Nähe, wenn was gebaucht wird. Trotzdem gab es ein paar kleine Kritikpunkte: - direkt an Villa 1 ist ein Hotel angebaut, auf SZ-Höhe ist die Bar / Lounge. Das ist auf den Bildern nicht zu erkennen. In der Hochsaison kann das sicherlich laut werden, so war es ok. Die Bilder sollten da fairerweise mal aktualisiert werden - eine Terrassentür ließ sich nicht abschließen - die Spülmaschine hat das Geschirr nicht sauber bekommen (das war wirklich nervig) - ab Nachmittag am Pool keine Beschattung mehr möglich (und wir haben eine sehr heiße Woche erwischt) Insgesamt aber wirklich super, wir kommen wieder :)

Nice villa, comfortable and cozy

The pool, the location (close to Rethymno, restaurants and the beach), the ping pong table :) You could provide some basic stuff (some detergent, washing cloth etc), as we had to buy absolutely everything, we did not find anything in the villa except toilet paper. Also, the host promised to visit with some travel info and he never did.. we managed, but this was not in line with the usual hospitality we were used to in Greece.. The door of the bedroom downstairs did not close (you should fix it)

Very nice villa, pool, perfect location.

Villa and location as described. Villa clean and comfortable, well equipped. Very pleasant staff, Meanwhile there is a building(hotel) at the right side of the villa, but it wasn't distracting at all. The access road to the complex is at times very(!) narrow.
