Beachfront holiday rental in Kato Gouves

we had a great week at Maria's place. The covered terrace is the most beautiful room in the house with a magnificent view of the sea. The beach is less than 5 minutes' walk away, but beware, for people who have difficulty walking, the slope is rather steep to climb. Maria is very responsive and responds very quickly to messages. Agia Pelagia remains a small seaside resort very well located to visit the north of the island. Beautiful discovery

Beautiful place. Exactly as described and host was always there if we needed help.

Very nice place, as described by the owner.

Amazing place to stay and Jekaterina is the BEST host! She was so attentive to our needs and made such fantastic recommendations everyday, which made our stay even better. Thank you Jekaterina! We hope to see you again soon!

Had a great time here! Vasilis was very accommodating and the place came as expected. Clean, great views of the water, and centrally located to the shops and restaurants in town. Highly recommend!

The apartment was ideally located, very close to the beach and restaurants, but we were not disturbed by any noise whatsoever. Plenty of space for a couple and a small child. The outdoor terrace has a good view of the sea. Magdalena was the perfect host, arranging transport to and from the airport and quickly responded to any questions we had. We basically had a very good time and will hopefully return in the future.

An oasis of calm close to the seafront, harbour and old town. The house is beautifully renovated and as all that you need for your stay. Communicating with the owners was excellent & we got an instant response. It would have been helpful to have a bit more information about services in the immediate area especially grocery shops. Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend to others.

This quaint AirBnB was not only comfortable but also a stone’s throw away from the beach. We felt right at home and enjoyed every moment - would totally recommend! (Side note: Crete is a gorgeous but absolutely HUGE island, if you want to get around easily and visit other beaches you should definitely hire a car) 🇬🇷

It is pretty nice place with everything you need to stay, host is really great - got room ready 4 hours before they should, gave us better room as it was available.

The stay was good, private and secluded. All listed amenities were present. Pool and BBQ were crucial to us, also worth to mention: there is an A/C unit in each room. Wifi was perfectly stable. You can hear the road noises, but it is manageable, it didn't affect our experience.

Dora and her family were so friendly and helpful. Dora collected us from the bus and arrived the next morning with a pot of soup. Delicious. Everything about the accommodation was amazing. A lovely apartment nice pool area , nice walks. Bravo restaurant and staff are fantastic. Antonis is so friendly and welcoming. It’s our favourite restaurant. I would highly recommend this Airbnb

We will miss it. The house and pool were great. We had a wonderful time there. We also took the cats to our hearts right away.❤️ In 2 years we'll be back.

Had a great stay! Thank you for your warm hosting, as well as your responsiveness and flexibility. The Airbnb is very well located: about 20-25 min from Heraklion by car and 10 min from the center of Hersonissos. Not having a vehicle, I got around by bus or taxi. There is a stop right in front of the accommodation (at the Zorbas Village Hotel) or another stop about 15-20 minutes walk. It is better to have a car to get around, go shopping because the Airbnb is a little out of the way, there is no hypermarket nearby on foot, it is a tourist area with many hotels, the molo café opposite offers free deckchairs. The location is very nice and safe, there are a lot of buses, taxis, cars but it's not too disturbing. The sea is right across the street, not even 2 minutes away, the view from the garden is great (of the sea and the mountains). The accommodation is comfortable and perfect for one or two people. I would definitely stay again.

the place was very beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and exploring the surrounding areas and culture. thank you

What a gem! This villa in Agia Pelagia is the perfect getaway. You get the best of both worlds: the privacy and comfort of a fully equipped villa with stunning views, just a short walk from one of the best beaches in the area. The villa is thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need — whether you're staying for a few days or a longer vacation with kids. The showers are excellent (especially the one on the top floor), with strong water pressure and hot water available all day. The pool is a real highlight — private, clean, and super relaxing. And if you're renting a car, there's convenient private parking included. Fanis is a true superhost — responsive, helpful, and welcoming. We absolutely loved our stay and are already planning to return next year!

We had a wonderful stay at Dimitrios’ house in Lygaria! The home is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The view from the balcony is breathtaking, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. The location is ideal: peaceful and quiet, yet just a short walk to the beach and local tavernas. Dimitrios was an exceptional host, welcoming, responsive, and full of helpful tips to make our stay even better. One thing to note is that there are sound monitors inside the house. We’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing escape in Crete.

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.

A truly fantastic place to stay. Exceptionally well stocked apartment with absolutely everything you would need for a long or short stay. Close to lots of restaurants, but well stocked kitchen if you prefer to cook. Beautiful terrace for dining, both undercover and outside. Host Viky is charming and friendly and could not be more helpful. We hope to return another time.

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.

amazing stay and we enjoyed the welcome gifts. thank you again for a great stay!

I have nothing negative to say - wonderful beach loft and a very nice terrace. Very good host!

Kostas is an impeccable host, he gave us his oil and wine, the house is spacious, clean, with a nice outdoor area, close to a sandy beach, shops, bars and restaurants, let him advise you.

The apartment is fantastic. It is even more beautiful than the pictures and you immediately feel comfortable when you enter it. It is very stylishly decorated and the terrace is really a dream. However, you have to be aware that the complex is located in one of the tourist hotspots on Crete. The advantage is that it is located at the very beginning of the street, so that even on the terrace you do not notice much of all the hustle and bustle. Opposite was a small beach section without sun loungers and parasols which fortunately could be used to spend time on the beach. You don't notice anything on the terrace and have absolute peace to relax. The terrace is built in such a way that it cannot be seen by others. We spent 12 wonderful days there. Eva welcomed us warmly and also provided a few delicacies for the reception. Fruit, bread, cheese and sausage so that you could relax after your arrival. Thank you very much.

Pristine apartment and well provided for in terms of kitchen etc. Great showers and really comfy beds..... excellent apartment and Stella who checked us in was lovely. Aikaterini was very helpful in contacting us in advance of arriving too..... great place!!
