Waterfront holiday rentals in Heraklion

My friend and I spent 5 days at Dimitris' accommodation and were very satisfied with our stay. The highlight of the apartment is definitely the view. Several beaches can be reached on foot. There are many taverns in Agia Pelagia. However, the location is also well suited for exploring the island. For example, we were in Matala, Heraklion and Rethymno. The apartment was very well equipped, there was nothing missing. Dimitris was always available and responded quickly to our questions. A booklet with information and recommendations was available on site. Dimitris was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, we would recommend the apartment!

My husband and I spent a lovely week at Asteri Home. The house was exactly as expected and just what we wanted for our week in Crete. The kitchen was well-equipped and allowed us to make breakfasts and a some dinners at home. The main double bedroom was big enough and comfortable. The bathroom is a bit dark and the shower is quite small, but we made do. The most amazing part of the house is the huge garden overlooking the sea that has 4 sun loungers, 2 outdoor tables for dining, a BBQ and a dart board. We spent a lot of time sitting at the end of the garden enjoying the view. Véronique and Yiannis are amazing hosts. They were so helpful right from the start - arranging transport from the airport, a rental car, offering suggestions for restaurants and places to visit. Kokkini Hani is quieter than other more touristy parts of Crete we visited. We found wonderful Greek restaurants with fresh seafood everyday. The supermarket and shops are all in walking distance. A lovely place!

The apartment is cozy but was still big enough for the two of us =) Very nicely furnished and there was everything you could ever need. The location is perfect, lots of options for shopping or dining out. The pool is right next to the apartment. Absolute secret place. The beach is also only a 5-minute walk. We can recommend the BeachBar Heaven, which really offers you everything We will be happy to come back! Thanks for everything

We were very satisfied with the apartment. The landlords were very welcoming. We were even personally greeted at 2:00 in the morning. The apartment was very clean and as described. The pool was really great and what was also great: The landlords take very good care of the pool. The day after our arrival, we had heavy Sahara rain and there was red dust / sand everywhere. The pool was also dirty and the landlord really worked all day to get the pool clean again. So that we could also use the pool 2x before we moved to the west of Crete. The apartment has good fly screens, so no insects can enter the apartment, except through the apartment door. :D There was only one disadvantage to the apartment. She's really sensitive. So noises come across relatively loud in the apartment. The four of us slept in the apartment, which was a little disruptive. Earplugs were a good solution. :D

We felt very comfortable at Manos. Despite the very late arrival, he showed us everything and we were very happy about the fresh fruit and the bottle of wine in the refrigerator. Once, when the key got stuck in the door, he came after a short time and took care of the lock. We would love to come back and wish him a successful season.

Lovely little apartment right on the beachfront with direct access to the beach. Great facilities and quiet area with easy walking distance to shops, tavernas and bakery. Very helpful hosts and parking very close by for the hire car. Hot water availability seemed a bit hit and miss but in Crete temperatures this was not really a problem. Everything you need is there and waking up to the stunning beach view every morning was a joy.

Four days wasn't enough. It was a beautiful time very relaxing. Close to all the restaurants and night life and beach. If you have a rental car they tell you the best beaches to go to the online that not that far of drive. They are responsive and cater to all your needs

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful place! The sea view was absolutely stunning – the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The location couldn’t be better: close to shops, restaurants, and several places where you can easily rent a bike or a car to explore the area. A big thank you to Aristotelis, who was incredibly helpful throughout my stay. He offered great advice about the area and was very flexible with the check-out time, which made everything so much easier. I truly appreciated his kindness and support. Highly recommended

Together with my wife and daughter I really did enjoy our stay at Elenis Apartment! We had to leave Crete earlier than expected (due to some private stuff). Eleni was very understanding and accepted our request of shortening the stay. We got a refund of 3 days which was very accommodating!! The flat got everything you need, we spent most of our time on the balcony looking at the sea. The beach close by is nice and quiet. The next restaurant is in walking distance of 25minutes, we do recommend a rental car though.

Great! Go for it! The accommodation: Wow! Clean, cozy, comfort. A magnificent terrace with a private jacuzzi that we enjoyed a lot and a breathtaking view of the small port. A kitchen with everything you need (fridge, dishes, cutlery, etc.). 2 beautiful bathrooms with everything you need (towels, products, etc.). Comfortable rooms. A living room with Netflix, for those who want to relax a little in the evening. The welcome: Wow! Harry was waiting for us with a smile, despite our delay (plane, car rental, the vagaries of travel🤣). On site a lot of things to start our vacation well: fruit, cold cuts, bread, water, coke and lunch (jams, honey, coffee...) The big plus: Thanks to Harry for his good advice (places to visit, restaurants, taverns, beaches...) and his constant availability and speed to respond during our stay. The place: Very nice port, a little noisy and lively in the evening. A good start to travel.

Highly recommend! A quiet area, close to everything. We stayed here start of October with our 14 yr old and 3 month old son. The apartment looks like the photos, very clean andy tidy. Very comfortable bed, was huge 💛. We had asked for a cot, which was there. The pool was lovely, very refreshing, solar heated. We were the only ones using it, due to out of main season, an unexpected luxury. The beach is a mix of sand and stones, literally just outside the gate. Within 10 mins walk is a supermarket, pharmacies, a patisserie with huge pain au chocolates - highly recommend, they also had pastries (cheese and bacon, mushroom and ham etc). If you walk along the sea front for about 20mins get into Gournes which has several beach bars, and restaurants/ cafes, we went to Taverna ambrosia, very good even had a baby change area (not everywhere has these) and soft play at the back. It’s a 45 min walk to the Creta aquarium, definitely worth a see. Ioannis arranged several taxis for us.

Nikos was an out standing host - the property was second to none - really pleased I stayed - if I ever go back to Crete, I will definitely stay at this property - thanks again Nikos for being so friendly and helpful, bo5h you and your wife - by far the best Airbnb I've ever stayed at.

We spent wonderful and relaxing holidays in Dimitri's apartment. The apartment is fantastically beautiful and tastefully furnished, with high-quality furniture and it really lacks nothing. The terrace has a unique beautiful view of the sea and we spent many beautiful hours there. Dimitris is super friendly, always available and with helpful tips for excursions, restaurants, etc. he helped us a lot. He also organized the transfer from the airport and it worked out perfectly. The location of the apartment is also perfect. Supermarket and restaurants are within walking distance and the bus station is just across the street. We highly recommend the apartment, for us the most beautiful so far and we will gladly think back to the time and come back soon.

Olga and her family are very kind people. The hospitality is exemplary. Her mom Helene prepared Greek specialties for us for the duration of our stay. Through her knowledge we were also able to attend shows of typical dances of the region. I recommend this destination without any issues. We will also go back to deepen our discovery of this Greek island.

This place completely exceeded our expectations! It’s absolutely stunning, with a breathtaking, priceless view that made our stay unforgettable. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure we felt comfortable and accommodated. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — highly recommended!

Excellent host, always communicative and proactive. Was very accommodating, allowing us an early check-in at the last minute due to unrelated travel problems. Overall excellent stay, would highly recommend.

This property was great and the overall location was perfect for us. The host was extremely helpful with everything we needed and the locals were very nice.

Great condo with a beautiful view. We loved walking down the beach towards all the bars and restaurants in the area, great location.

We stayed at Sonia's place in March and had a wonderful peaceful stay! Thank you Sonia for everything!

Amazing place. Very private and quiet. Location is also great, lots of restaurants, bars and coffee shops to walk to. If I have the chance will definitely come back. Recommend it!

The host are super nice, always respond to app and ask if all is well (She had even baked brownies for us). In addition, the apartment is quite spacious and every room has air conditioning. The balconies are very nice to start the day with a beautiful view. The bathroom is also great, with a rain shower and even a washing machine. In addition, everything was clean and well arranged.

Marianna’s place was great - we had a very pleasant time there. The view over the Mediterranean Sea is stunning, and the location is easy to access. Her mum, Sonia, kindly made us a local pie upon arrival, and she was so friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. There are several excellent restaurants nearby, and it’s only about 20 minutes to the Heraklion city centre. Highly recommended!

Beautiful appartment with stunning views. some traffic noise but no more than the area as a whole. I did have some issues getting in but only as front door to the appartment block was open and I missed the key box outside. however , I have a quick response when I messaged. the appartment is very secure.

Wonderful place to stay. Right on the beach. Nikos and his father were there whenever we needed them and very attentive. Highly Recommended, as is Nikos restaurant, Libre, the best on the beach by a long way!
