Beachfront holiday rental in Podgora

Wow! Where do we start. Easily the best holiday we've ever been on. Ivan and his family were so incredibly welcoming and friendly. Upon arrival we were greeted by Ivan and given so many wonderful recommendations. We are already looking to see when we can return to Brela and this wonderful apartment. We loved having our breakfast on the balcony, with the most gorgeous views. We felt right at home and settled into a lovely holiday routine here. We never wanted to leave!!! 5*+ Emily & Liam xxx

The other reviews are totally accurate. Marinas place was magical. It was the best trip we’ve ever been on and it was the first with our 18 mo daughter. Marina gave us her milk for our baby! Marina was extremely friendly, funny, and had perfect communication. She did our laundry for us too!! (She even removed a tough stain from our baby’s shirt!!). We could not have asked for a better vacation or a better host.

A truly idyllic place to unwind. We had a lovely week of swimming, kayaking and relaxing away from people (the property can only be accessed by boat so it is very peaceful and quiet). The host was very communicative - we can definitely recommend and would love to return to this unique property again!!

Maya, her son, and father are amazing!!! Very friendly and accommodating. We spent the most time here during our 2 week Euro trip. Fantastic views from the balcony and a great place to relax with lounge chairs and a table to eat at. Right on the water with a great walk down to the shore where you can jump right into the sea! Space was modern, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was SO nice. By far the nicest bathroom of anywhere we stayed. Maya's father took us out on his boat with his beagle. It was amazing. He knew the best spots, shared cool information/stories. It was a very authentic/non touristy experience. Maya let us borrow snorkel gear and that was beyond awesome because we snorkeled in the sea by the house but also on our boat trip which was truly special. She also provided homemade olive oil which was divine. WONDERFUL experience and stay.

Our family loved this stunningly beautiful house with its enchanting views. Blue water beckons from every window, just steps away. The ever-so-inviting terrace meanders along the back of the house, just above the walkable seawall, which leads to small shops and restaurants a few minutes’ stroll away. The large, open terrace is made for outdoor living, with beautiful views from every angle. There is a private dock area below the seawall walkway; it’s a great place to nap or read and to use as a launch for the paddle boards and kayaks provided by Daro, the host. Daro is incredibly helpful and responsive and answers every inquiry. Our family enjoyed talking to him ( he is on site) over a coffee in the village. He really apoears to enjoy making sure that your stay is the absolute best that he can provide. The house is well situated for local travel: we had easy day trips to local vineyards, Korčula, Split and Dubrovnik by rental car. ….One of our best experiences.

What a fantastic location. Peace and quiet and the beautiful sea. Lovely hospitable hosts. Super friendly and genuine. The BBQd fish they bought us for lunch was the best we had ever had. If you want to get away from it all then this is the place to come. We stayed a week and didn’t use the car once.

Very friendly, great location!

Ana was a wonderful host, very responsive and helpful as well as giving great recommendations. The property was outstanding especially the landscaped areas with access to the sea, pool, balcony and sauna. We had a really relaxing stay and would love to come back again!

This is a beautiful villa for a stay in Vela Luka! The home is very clean, the beds are comfortable, and the view is breathtaking! Aldo and Aleksandra are very friendly, helpful, and kind. Having three private en suite bedrooms was wonderful and we appreciated being able to each regulate the temperature in our rooms. We also loved having the ability to do laundry. For older travelers or those with difficulty walking, I recommend walking sticks for going up and down the driveway as it is quite steep. My mom was able to manage it with her hiking sticks. Again, gorgeous house, gorgeous location, gorgeous view!

A beautiful apartment in a peaceful location. Everything is spotless and well maintained. Nick is so friendly and helpful including a lift to the supermarket on arrival. A good sized clean pool with comfortable sun loungers set in landscaped gardens which are loving tended. All the beds and chairs are comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The views are stunning - breakfast on the balcony watching dolphins out at sea. A top class apartment that we hope to revisit - thank you Nick and family for making us feel so welcome in your home.

I came to spend a few days with my mother in the Tafra Accommodation, it was a great Airbnb with an incredible view. The pool and hot tub are a real plus. The accommodation was very clean with everything you need in it We can't wait to go back.

We had a fantastic week staying in the Penthouse! The views are incredible. The apartment was beautiful and is immaculately clean. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Toni was a fantastic host, very welcoming and even let us check in early. He was very responsive if you had any queries. Thanks Toni for a great week!

The villa is fantastic and the local area is quiet but has enough restaurants and bars to keep you busy. Getting in and out of Split is easy and Uber is very good value (do not use local taxis). The standout feature of the property is the outside area including the views. It is easy to access the sea and beach, and the water is beautiful. The only potential to the villa is how it is split across two properties. This was not an issue for us at all, and for some people this may be a bonus, but worth noting.

We were a group of 9 people. The location is fantastic. Very quiet and you can go directly from the villa to the sea. The house was very clean and looked as pictured. The kitchen in the house and also the outdoor kitchen were well equipped and had everything you need. We thought the grill and the pizza oven were great. The house is a bit out of the way. There are no restaurants nearby. However, there are plenty of shopping opportunities and they are easily accessible by car. The house is perfect for relaxing vacations.

This apartment was perfect, one of nicest I’ve ever stayed in! It was beautiful, spotless and with the most incredible setting! Elma and Nives were both super helpful and responsive! The pool was also spotless and perfect for cooling off! The area is stunning! We hiked in the mountains behind and swam in the most beautiful sea I’ve ever seen! Stomarica was blissfully quiet and a lovely walk along the promenade to Brela! Cannot recommend enough!

We really enjoy our stay. Everything clean, modern, absolutely perfekt. The apartment, the view, the pool, ... . The owner was helpful and communicative. Last but not least, excellent conditions for charging our electric car. It was wonderful, we would love to come back.

Awesome place, the photos looked unreal but when we got there we saw the place better than photos! Beautifully hosted by Nikol and Thea. Definitely going to stay again.

I cannot say enough about this Home. We felt like we were in a palace. Every little touch that they put into this house went noticed. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Our host was always available if I had a question.The pizzeria next-door was amazing and would bring things right to us at our door. Again, we cannot say enough everything about this house was wonderful.

Jozo was an excellent host and you can clearly see the love that he’s poured into Love Hvar’s penthouse. Every detail is thought of and takes advantage of the space perfectly. Additionally the space is spotless and well kept. It’s a great location and walkable to all of Hvar town. Thanks, Jozo for an amazing stay.

Will definetly come back in future!👌

The apartment is very clean and furnished to a high standard. The kitchen has great amenities. People on site very nice and friendly. For the terrace with a view of the courtyard, I would recommend a deck fan. Restaurants were easy to reach in the area. The path to the beach is OK if you don't have much to carry. Overall, it was a great stay, in a super modern apartment.

Fantastic place! We will definitely want to come back. Everything is as described, beautiful view from the terrace, parking by the building, 20m to the beach, washer and dryer so you can wash things. Next to small eateries, a store, it's definitely worth coming here for longer!

This was an amazing stay! Exactly what I was looking for- private, peaceful and beautiful. The view was amazing from the room and then you go down to the private beach and its just serene. On the way down to the beach Damir let us feed the tortoises! Might be silly but that was definitely the highlight they are so cute. We really appreciate this experience and recommend everyone to come stay if you are looking for relaxation. I will warn though you should probably rent a car for this stay, its better so you can come and go as you please and not wait so long for public transportation. We also enjoyed driving around the mountains and seeing the Centina River Canyon and its not a bad drive to Split and other places!

If we could give this 5,000,000 stars out of 5, we would. Irena & Đuro treated us like family from the moment we arrived and we'll be grateful to them forever! If you want a truly unforgettable experience and to be part of something special, PLEASE book this place. From kind words and surprise refreshments to a perfectly private beach tucked into a hidden oceanside village, you will not be disappointed. We had a rental car but didn't use it because we couldn't be torn away from the peaceful clear waters of the Adriatic and the beautifully manicured terraces for lounging and enjoying the sunset views. We could go on and on, but we'll just say: THANK YOU & SEE YOU AGAIN! <3
