An Absolutely Fantastic Stay!From start to finish, this property exceeded expectations.Location & Arrival: The estate is roughly an hour and a half from Heraklion Airport (though budget closer to two hours if the highway construction is still ongoing). The property is set within a gated, private estate featuring 15 beautiful homes perched on a stunning cliffside. Even the drives through the neighborhood are gorgeous.Privacy: The VRBO is situated at the very top of the estate, meaning no other houses overlook your space. Complete privacy was a major priority for our stay, and this spot delivered. You have the entire pool deck entirely to yourself. While there is a separate apartment on the deck level, it remains unoccupied and window-gated at all times (as confirmed by the host).The Space: The interior isn't huge, but we weren't expecting it to be. It is exceptionally cozy, comfortable, and nice inside.The Pool Deck: The outdoor pool deck is very large and wonderful. Tip: Highly recommend paying the small extra fee to have the host heat the water. Even when it’s hot outside, the pool water stays quite chilly without it.The Surroundings: There is a charming small town right down the street (Istro Bay), plus a larger, lively port nearby (Agios Nikolas). The entire area is breathtaking.The Host: Stevia was highly communicative and addressed every question and need we had throughout our stay amazingly!You truly cannot go wrong here. I highly recommend this spot!
