Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Koutsounari

Elpida, a dream house, definitely recommended. Not only the location and the view are sensational, but also the house itself. We (married couple 63/61) were able to enjoy Angelika's unobtrusive and warm hospitality in May 2025 and had a relaxing week in or above the beautiful village of Mochlos. We have nothing to complain about, on the contrary - we have rarely found such a great accommodation. Perfect furnishings and very well-equipped kitchen, always a shady spot and very pleasant insect protection. The steep ascent to the mountain is no problem after the first exercise. The scent of the plants is simply wonderful. Dear Angelika, thank you for sharing Elpida with strangers, we will be happy to come back to you and Koko and are already looking forward to it, best regards, Anne Dietz and Stefan Schmädeke from Hanover

My stay at the beach house in Pachia Ammos felt like stepping into a quiet dream. The house was just as shown in the pictures — and somehow even more beautiful, embraced by the serene rhythm of the sea and the gentle charm of a peaceful neighborhood. Each morning, I woke to the whisper of waves and a view so breathtaking it felt like time stood still. The warmth of the locals made the experience even richer, and our host Marilou was the soul of it all — gracious, generous, and sincerely kind. I left a part of my heart by the shore, and I know I’ll return someday

the place is very good for 1 or 2 people maximum (can be with a baby) with its small private terrace overlooking the sea, everything works well (wifi and air conditioning), Maria is very responsive to messages and the instructions are very clear. the village of Cholmos is very pretty. I therefore recommend this apartment and this village! just the hot water is not very hot but when it is 30 degrees outside it is fine and not much pressure.

I enjoyed my month here. Comfortable with a 'local' feel. It was a nice walk down to the coffee, restaurants and stores. Amanda could not gave been more helpful.

We had a love stay! Irene was communicative, check in was easy, and her home is ideally located. We enjoyed spending evenings on the patio, cooking meals at home, and snorkeling at the beach below the house. We found a really lovely taverna about 5 mins away that we enjoyed frequenting, as well as a market nearby. We enjoyed exploring this part of Crete and loved having Irene’s home to come back to each day. Highly recommend!

There were two of us on site for a total of five nights. The place is fantastic and is right in a beautiful bay with a beautiful beach. For two people, the accommodation is completely sufficient and well equipped from the place. On the beach is a restaurant with delicious Greek food at fair prices. The bay is great for snorkeling and swimming, as the sea is very quiet most of the time. If you want to experience more than spending the day by the sea, you are definitely dependent on a car, which is normal for Crete. Christina as a host was very warm, accommodating and helpful. If you had any questions, they were promptly answered via text message. I can only recommend the property and Christina as a host to anyone.

The villa is amazing, great views, very quiet (alongside a road but very little traffic) and the place was spotless. Beds and furniture all very comfortable. We were there for two weeks and linen/towels were changed mid holiday. Pool towels also provided. An amazing outdoor area, with table, well equipped outdoor kitchen, plenty of sunbeds and shade if needed. Quite honestly couldn't have asked for more. If we ever go back to Crete we would definitely stay here again ......... and a special thanks to Sophie who met us with the keys on arrival and was there on our departure.

This is our second time in Mochlos, we love it and Popi's apartment is perfect to relax and enjoy the views and surroundings. I can highly recommend it, we hope to stay again in the future.

Poppy and her father were very friendly and one of the best hosts. Poppy's father helped is with the luggage as the apartment is in the 2nd floor without lift. Her father was very friendly and showed us around the apartment. Poppy was very responsive and proactive, also provided us with little snacks and Crete sweets/Raki and small gift for my 3yr old.. as a host they were excellent. The apartment is as described and had great views also couple of beaches are walkable. There are also lot of cafes and restaurants within walking distance. This apartment is highly recommended and we would love to come back again. The only negative point is that the bathroom had a strong smell as it was without windows and had an exhaust.. but this should not put you away.

Great host, very friendly and responsive. Great location, nice desk. Bed is OK. The only downside is the shower and toilet in general: absolutely terrible. No space to move and shower in, you are essentially showering over the toilet bowl.

The apartment was perfect for our 1 week stay. Everything in Ierapetra is within walking distance. George’s recommendations for beaches & restaurants are very good . The apartment is close to all the Ierapetra beaches and the boardwalk that goes along the harbor. Highly recommend.

Alexandra is a delightful host and brought me organic cucumbers and apricots from the garden. The view is incredible and the location is a 5min walk to two beaches. There are oceanfront hiking trails nearby and a neighborhood grocery store next door. Highly recommend! 10/10

We spent 3 dream days in the apartment of Nikos and Chryssa's house. The apartment is consistent with the photos, very clean and very well equipped. The interior is very comfortable too. But the most impressive is the breathtaking view of the sea, the bay and the city of Agios Nikolaos. Day or night, it's magical! Our hosts were very attentive (eggs and fruits from the garden as a gift) and discreet. Please note that a car is essential for this accommodation. I recommend this accommodation, we will be back!

Very nice accommodation! The interior of the house was very cozy and very cool for the heat of the season. The yard is very boho and perfect for hanging out with friends in a very quiet neighborhood and if you miss something you can walk 20-30m just across the street where there is a Supermarket (Sklavenitis). Although the house already had what it needed from basic necessities. We did not have time to enjoy all the comforts of the house as we only stayed 4 nights and the only thing that made it difficult for us was the otherwise very nice bed on the floor due to the fact that my wife was pregnant. We would definitely choose the accommodation again for family holidays in the future!

We especially liked the 'little things', such as a bottle of wine on arrival. Since we arrived at night, we also loved the toasts, because we couldn't find anything else. Marirania also sent us a storm warning, which actually saved us from great misfortune. That day we wanted to visit a place where there was unfortunately also injured because of the storm. Marirania was always easy to reach throughout the stay and went the extra mile with everything. She also had an open ear for suggestions for improvement. A clear recommendation for us and worth seeing again.

We had the best time ever at My Sea Sight. I have no words to describe. Amazing, beautiful, peaceful place with a great infinity pool. Sunsets by the pool are unforgettable. It's super close to the city centre with loads of stores and supermarkets. You'll have plenty of options for great restaurants and bars. It's super close to the main bus stops and for the main tours pick-up points too. Stefani is absolutely amazing, super friendly and always doing the most to ensure we had the best holiday. It's such a lovely place, wish we had stayed longer! Stefani, you're the best host we could have asked for and I thank you for it! ❤️

I had a wonderful stay! George was very communicative and the apartment had an amazing view.

We had an amazing time. Manolis is very helpful and friendly. He gave us some great recommendations of beaches to go to and restaurants. The apartment is in a great location. It has everything you need and is really nicely decorated and very clean. If we end up in Agios Nikolaos again we will definitely stay there again

Wonderful. Property exactly as described. Alexandra was a wonderful host. We were spoilt with extras-cakes, a sun hat, toiletries, towels, fruit , tea & coffee I highly recommend staying at Alexandra’s and Maria. X

Beautiful spacious apartment with great modern design and with a unique sea view from the balcony (sea only about 20 meters away). Everything you need. The landlord is extremely friendly and always available. We felt very comfortable. There are many good restaurants in the area, all within walking distance. The free parking by the sea was also perfect. From there, it only takes 5 minutes to get to the apartment. The beautiful bar near the bedrooms was always well attended and accordingly it was loud there until the night. It's a matter of taste, but the beds were too hard for us. Otherwise, absolutely recommended! We felt very comfortable and always had breakfast comfortably on the balcony.

Nice apartment. The guidebook sent by Nikos proved to be very useful and reliable.

We absolutely recommend Evi's apartment. It has a great location on the edge of the village and it is really right on a very quiet beautiful beach. A small, very low-traffic road is in between. We loved hearing the sound of the sea day and night. The apartment is a great size for 2 people, is very clean and equipped with everything you need (even loungers for the beach). The terrace (a driveway that can be accessed by others) is not quite as private as in Evi's other larger apartments but for the price-performance ratio totally okay. The communication with Evi and Dimitris was also great, who gave us great tips for the area. Thanks again!

We spent almost a week in this lovely apartment with our 2 year old and it was just perfect! The apartment contains few things but has everything you might need - it’s beautiful and cosy. Alexandra’s dad welcomed us and our daughter became a real fan of him (just like us, he was very friendly). We loved the proximity to the beach (so beautiful! And perfect for small children) and the nice taverns and cafes, while still being secluded. During two nights we heard some louder music (from a bar, maybe) but after closing the window that was also not a problem at all . Thank you, Alexandra, we really enjoyed our stay and could have easily stayed longer!

We had a lovely stay in Ferma Hills Apartments, the apartment and spectacular view were exactly as advertised. The hose was extremely friendly and informative on local bus times etc Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to stay in Crete.
