Family-friendly holiday rentals in Kalamaki Beach

We had a very nice and sunny October week at Tasos's place. The apartment is as described in the pictures. We really enjoyed that there was also a small terrace in the front of the house. So you had sun in the morning and evening. Tasos' recommendations were also great. Especially the tavern on the mountain in Rogida was highly recommended.

Lovely home and beautiful views! Téo is a wonderful host - so friendly and welcoming. We were very comfortable and greatly enjoyed our stay.

we has an amazing time at the Villa. Beautiful accommodation and very spacious inside. lovely and modern with everything we needed. The pool was amazing, very clean and the jacuzzi jets were an added bonus. Anastasia was very responsive to any questions and was very helping in a situation we had to deal with. Highly recommend 😁

Casa Sofia is a beautiful 2 storey house equipped as 2 separate living floors but ideal for extended family. It’s up a steep hill above the village but a short distance (5mins) walk into the centre of Spili, which has small supermarkets, a few high quality restaurants and bars with excellent local food. Car park access outside house bit tight but we had a medium SUV and managed fine. You can park in village too if you need to. Hellocrete team are fantastic, quick to respond and solve any issues. It was a chilly week in Crete and they organised fire logs for the main lounge which made a super warm fire. Family of 4 age ranges 24-84 and we all loved this special location. We didn’t need one but noticed the baby cot was excellent quality! Unfortunately we didn’t use pool or hot tub but they were beautifully clean. We would definitely book again. The local people so friendly and scenery for walking and nature are stunning.

Stella and her family was friendly and very helpful while we were staying at her families beautiful villa. The villa is stunning and clean. It has all you need while you stay at the villa. Would highly recommend staying at this accommodation. Likely to return in the future! The peacocks add to this beautiful location looking over the mountains of Crete.

Stella's Home was the most positive Airbnb experience I've ever had (and I've had some really lovely ones). The place is beautiful and the views are some of the best I've ever seen with the beach being only a 6 minute walk away. Stella was also an exceptional host. She stocked the fridge with some complementary groceries which made for a really positive start to our trip, especially after a day of traveling. It was also one of the most thoughtful things a host has done for one of my stays. Stella was also very communicative, checking in to make sure everything was going well for us and if we needed anything. The hot tub was amazing, the house was spotless and comfortable, the description of the space completely accurate. 5 days was not enough for us here and if I ever make it back to Crete, I will definitely be staying here again. Highly recommend!

The Sports Villa was amazing. Great location, beautiful home and incredible hosts. Highly recommend, particularly for families. Our grandson loved the play area and everything was secure. The neighborhood has great tavernas, markets and bakeries. Day trips are easy. You’ll love it

We had our honeymoon at Petroc's Airbnb. Such a beautiful place. Our evenings spent looking at the beautiful view from our balcony and using the hot tub is one of our highlights. Lots to see and do nearby. Highly recommended.

Maria's place is comfortable, in a great location. The two terraces are beautiful. All shops and the beach are a 5-minute walk away. Maria was very welcoming, responsive, and accommodating. We already want to come back....

Perfect location! Walking distance to restaurants, shopping, beach and more. Very safe and quiet, yet steps away from everything that you might need.

We felt super comfortable with John and his family. From the first day, we were actively welcomed into everyday life and always felt very welcome. The room has everything we needed plus some extras 😉 Definitely worth a visit, as you could also reach some beautiful places quickly from there. Most important to us was the village location,far from tourist strongholds. Thanks for everything

Great house, had everything, even a ping-pong table fully equipped Delightful pool Extremely quiet neighborhood with very nice surroundings and very close to mini markets and taverns At the same time, it is an ideal spot for someone to get to know all the beauties of Rethymno in all directions I would really like to vacation every year in similar homes and such beautiful areas

Heike's place was super well maintained and had everything your heart desires. We felt comfortable and enjoyed our time very much! Heike was also on site on the day of our arrival and personally gave us many helpful tips and explained everything necessary. She was also quickly available to us at any time. Utensils for grilling meat and fish were also fully available. The surrounding small towns with numerous localities are quickly and easily reached by car. If you are athletic, you can also do it on foot :) . But even at home you can unwind, either in a hammock or a lounger.

Nice apartment, very nicely decorated with retro stuff (e.g. computer games). Spic and span, very cozy bed, spacious balcony, everything essential within walking distance. George is a great host, always responded very quickly to requests and gave us many helpful recommendations. Will come again any time

We loved our stay in Alex's apartment. Tris Ekklisies is a perfect peaceful seaside village, away from the crowds. The beach is so close and we loved the quiet side, finding a spot under a tree for the day. The sea is great for snorkeling and there are a few tavernas to choose from. The drive down the mountain is spectacular, we recommend Sunny Hill Cafe for a drink or some food on the way. The apartment was lovely, bright and comfortable. We hope to be back one day!

The place is fantastic, and just like in the photos - a villa in the mountains with a beautiful view, in great condition with plenty of amenities, everything was clean and design was tasteful and spacious. It's just a 15 minute drive to Heraklion or 5 minutes to the closest convenience store, and Theo was incredibly helpful, form navigating us to the area to helping us make dinner reservations to some restaurants, and was always available. Perfect location, perfect service. Miss that place already!

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we had a fantastic time and stay at Olive Villa. Panagiotis and Olga are an absolutely delightful couple as well as kind, generous and hard-working hosts. It is clear that they both take great pride in their home and also go out of their way to ensure the accommodation and facilities they provide for their guests are of an extremely high standard. We were hugely impressed by and spent a lot of time relaxing in the beautiful garden (immaculately tended) as well as in the swimming pool (very clean and well-maintained) and dining in the outside bbg area (fantastically set out and equipped). We cannot recommend it highly enough and dearly hope to be able to return in the not too distant future!

Lovely villa and garden in a quiet spot. Kostas and Elizabeth were very approachable and responded quickly to any queries. As others have said, the only slight draw back is the approach to the villa down a very narrow drive with a right angled turn which took some manoeuvring even in our smallish car. We got used to it and ultimately this didn't spoil our enjoyment of this beautiful property.

Lovely week in this home. We were quiet and the view from the terrace is amazing. The change of sheets and towels during the week is appreciated. The apartment is new inside and very clean. Common areas are cleaned every day which makes the place very clean. Thanks to its configuration, we were able to interact with people who live there and who gave us addresses of taverns and places to visit. After a few days we found small restaurants and beaches next door, very nice. Our stay was excellent!

Brilliant stay - wonderful hosts and delightful accommodation. We will be back!

Georgios and Tanja's place is beautiful - a tranquil haven in a lovely village nestled up in the hills but only a few minutes' drive from the coast. Our experience was exceptional from the outset, with Tanja being very accommodating of our late check-in (due to the late arrival of our flight) and welcoming us warmly on arrival. She offered us suggestions for things to do and places to eat during our stay and graciously allowed us a late check-out as well - again due to the late departure of our flights. The house itself is fantastic, beautifully appointed and with a lovely view of the valley. Kournas is a very picturesque village and the food at the local tavernas is fabulous, although the kitchen in the house has everything you need to cook should you wish to. I can't recommend Georgio and Tanja's place enough for a place to stay in Crete. Hopefully we'll make it back one day!

Wonderful stay if you are looking for an amazing and well equiped house in the countryside!

A very great house - highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay in Thomais´resort. Thomais did everything to make us feel welcome and welcomed us with homemade cooking and wine. Located on the mountain top the distance to shopping and restaurants is several kilometers, but excellent taxi service solved this so we dropped our plans to rent a car.
