Waterfront apartment accommodation

Studio with sea views in Blue Beach
Beautiful resort on the beach with nearby supermarket, tavernas, and cafes. Great value for the amenities.

Bellavista Old Port - Magical views
What better way to start a holiday by drinking a complimentary wine on a balcony with amazing views of the port. The apartment is close to an array of places to eat and relax . We loved our stay at the apartment and really appreciated being able to stay a few hours past check out to make the most of our last day before catching the plane home. For a couple this is a fantastic place to stay

ENETIKO ROOMS Balcony -Old Town Chania
Great place to stay! Location is fantastic and it was very clean.

Pearl Seaside Cozy Apartments 5
Mike was great from the start…we booked last minute and he texted me immediately. He made everything very easy and was extremely friendly when we got there to check in. He showed us everything about the apartment that we needed to know and gave us lots of tips on where to go to eat and to see the best sites. The rooftop space was beautiful and the apartment was very close to everything in the area… We were able to walk to everything! I would definitely recommend staying there… Thank you, Mike!

Klea Apartment
Exactly as described! Manolis is a wonderful host and goes above and beyond to make you feel at home! He gave wonderful recommendations and was attentive whenever we had questions. On site parking was an amazing feature and an in unit washer really helped as this was a stop in the middle of a longer trip. The stay was exactly what we had hoped for and we were very comfortable. For reference, we were 4 adults (2 couples).

City Center Penthouse on the Beach
A great location right near the beach with clear views of an incredible sunset. The balcony was our favorite part but the location was great, with restaurants within seconds and the old port within a nice 15min walk along the water. Perfect. Katerina and George were amazing, easy communication and both went above and beyong welcoming us to Chania. Would highly recommend staying here if youre visiting Chania.

Artemis Seafront Apartments - 6
Wow! Artemis is such a thoughtful host. The property is peaceful and beautiful. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy Crete and the Mediterranean. Our apartment was cleaned every weekday; that was a bonus!

Lavender suite with sea view
Great location, 20 metres from the beach. Lot of restaurants in the area within walking distance. Only 20 minutes drive to Chania town centre. Room is clean and cozy, slightly smaller bathroom but we managed ok. Have room service every other day to change clean towels and bedsheet which is really appreciated. Responsive host, and the neighbours are friendly. Overall we enjoyed our stay there, thanks for hosting us.

Absolutely beautiful stay. Enjoyed our time there and would definitely stay again.

Sea and Sun Marathoula House! Beachfront,Sea View!
We discovered this accommodation for ourselves after a long search. We are a family with twins aged 11. Booking was super easy. The hostess Tasoula always answered us nicely and competently. With the rental car from Chania airport, you only need 15 minutes to the accommodation with its own roller door and parking space. We were very warmly welcomed and immediately fell in love with the beautiful accommodation. From the elevated terrace, it is 15 m to the blue-green shimmering pristine water, without algae, plastic and dirt. The water is very clear and swimming in it was a dream. The outdoor shower is great in the complex. To the left and right of the complex, there are restaurants with very delicious Greek food Especially in the Veranda restaurant, everyone was so nice and even brought us the food to the terrace. Tasoula cooked for us twice.. They just brought us plates of Greek food. Sooo sweet. We will be happy to come back.

2 apartments over the sea - Private place to swim
We had a glorious two weeks at Niko's place. For the first time at AirBNB it felt like we're were guests at a friends home. All of the promised essentials were provided in generous quantities - Niko's home grown fruit and veg were a particular treat and provided in such generous quantities that we couldn't eat them all. The place is simple but with all the equipment that you could need. The terrace a delight to enjoy the sun and the bathing spot a treat. Niko has landscaped a most wonderful extended garden which made the whole property just beautiful!

Villa Recluso- heated pool,hydromassage,bbq,view
I truly recommend staying with Niko in this beautiful villa! The house is very modern, the outside area spectacular and private and the communication with Niko was clear and helpful. The accommodation works for both families and friends. The house is located around 30mins from Chania which is easy to get to by car. Can only recommend renting this villa.

Villa Vriko
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay Apartment was clean and inviting . Plenty of room for my entire family Host was quick to help with questions we had . Don’t hesitate to stay at this great place when we come back, we will definitely book here .

Vista Mare Villa Heated Pool
The villa is lovely and has everything you need for a holiday. Clean and well maintained. There was extra cleaning during the week. Great view of the sea and the mountains. The cars passing on the main road, which is 100m below the villa, create a slight noise, but it is not unbearable. Maria is a great host and despite the late evening time of arrival she was waiting for us with a smile. She took care of us all the time and gave us valuable advice. There was a problem with the dishwasher, which was fixed the next day as soon as I informed Maria. We had a great week and would come back again.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Venetian Harbour Gem
The views from this place are beyond breathtaking, especially at sunset! This is an area that is just walking distance from the touristy spot and is very peaceful. My bf was worried about smell and sound being above a restaurant, but there were zero issues. It’s practically sound proof. We sat on the balcony multiple times a day to people watch and listen to the beautiful street performers. We must have missed it in the listing, but please note that this is a home someone lives in. So you don’t have as much storage as you would in an Airbnb dedicated to guests only. We had one closet, two drawers, and could store suitcases under the bed. Not much storage or counter space for our things, but the host did say we could use anything in the house which was nice for cooking our own meals. Highly recommend the brunch and coffee at the Sandbar! Would definitely recommend this spot, especially for couples. The bed is a thick memory foam mattress and was very cozy & comfortable. We slept great!

EYGE transformed modern apartment by the sea-new!
The apartment, its location, and the hosts’ hospitality are simply impressive. The room had everything we needed - even sun hats, beach towels, and slippers. A separate crib was provided for our son. The apartment also came with a juicer, toaster, coffee machine, coffee, tea, and plenty of food. However, the place is better suited for couples without small children. Our 1-year-4-month-old son constantly wanted to go up and down the stairs (which isn’t very safe) or out onto the balcony. Still, he managed to enjoy the beautiful views and woke up saying ‘wooow.’ 😁 The water at the beach is perfect for small children and peaceful relaxation. We had a wonderful vacation! Nearby, we discovered a lovely restaurant called Halepa with incredible sunsets and delicious seafood - highly recommended.

Tasoula's Studio in front of the beach
Great last minute booking in a prime location

Kalyves vintage seaside apartment 100 m2,
Elina's apartment is quirky and charming - and very spacious. We had a lovely 10 days there exploring the area and returning to this comfortable home. We much appreciated the food and drinks left for us - we arrived in the middle of the night and there was plenty for snacking and for breakfast! Thank you Elina and your father for being so welcoming. We would love to return!

Beachside Apartment in Plakias centre!
We were a family with 2 small children for 1 week in the accommodation. We were able to have 2 cots and a high chair, which was a great relief. Everything was as described and very clean. Sea and beach and restaurants etc. are just around the corner. From the terrace, you have a beautiful view of the mountains behind which the sun sets and around the corner you can see the sea. Large parking lot in front of the door. After 3 days, the apartment was cleaned, waste disposed of, bed linen and towels changed, wonderful! There is a long staircase to get into the apartment, no elevator, but for us it was not a problem.

Amazing penthouse, 1 bdr, Sea view, Sea front
Christina was lovely, meeting us at check in and check out and her apartment and it's location are superb. Also the apartment had everything you need, and Christina also provided some fresh food at check in. Thank you so much.

ΟCEAN BLUE Apartment in Chania
We had a wonderful stay, VERY CLEAN and QUITE place, well stocked condo, great host, sun set off the patio baloney was wonderful. Kyriakos was wonderful to work with and very responsive. The place is much nicer than the pictures on the website. I highly recommended this place. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathroom, much bigger than we needed but it was nice to spread out... Thank you Kyriakos for being such a wonderful host. PS. This is parking at the place.

APARTMENT WITH AMAZING VIEW OF THE OLD PORT
The apartment’s large balcony & location at the quiet end of the Venetian Harbour in Chania old town, was perfect for relaxing and exploring the labyrinthine little alleyways of the old town of Chania. I started and ended the day sitting on the balcony, watching sensational sunsets, the quiet chatter of people in the restaurant below and the mooring and unmooring of boats in the harbour! Christina, my main contact, was outstanding in her responsiveness and assistance in ordering a taxi etc. I would definitely stay here again!
