Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Crete

Beautiful place overlooking the Libyan Sea and a short walk into a beautiful, friendly village with narrow streets and wonderful sunsets. Everything we needed is in this place. Everything for cooking, homemade treats from Vaso's mother, a nice welcome Raki, oils and spices, very comfortable beds, and an easy to get into parking space with no stairs to carry luggage. We drove down to two different beaches where we swam and had incredibly good and fresh (and reasonably priced) seafood. The internet is fast throughout the house. Will be back again!

Giannis was a great host and was an excellent communicator. The home was very clean, spacious, and close to so many things to do in the area. Would highly recommend!

Kostas was the best host I ever had, I will always recommend him and his place

Super nice Airbnb in the best location! Within walking distance of many restaurants right by the sea. The small area to sit outside is also perfectly maintained and even more beautiful than in the pictures. The entire place exceeded all expectations!

Roula's property is an absolute gem - incredibly well-located with one of the best views in Crete. The house itself is beautifully appointed in a traditional style. It's truly a must visit.

One of the nicest Airbnbs I've stayed in, check-in and -out with 0 friction.

The time at Penelope's was super nice! Upon our arrival we were personally welcomed, in the fridge there was an initial equipment for the first evening. We especially enjoyed the fantastic terrace. Penelope was always available and provided us with comprehensive tips and information. We thoroughly enjoyed the time!

The place is very beautiful and well organized. The apartment has many different amenities including the private pool and the private steam room in a high standard. George is an amazing host, always responsive and very welcoming!

We highly recommend Maria's place. Maria is a fabulous (5+++⭐️) host and the studio was more than perfect for our stay in Chania. Maria greeted us in person, led us to the apartment and had many thoughtful and helpful extras (cheese, bread, eggs, fruit & more) waiting in the apartment. She offered great restaurant recommendations and other helpful suggestions, was quick to respond to any questions we had and was warm, friendly and welcoming. The apartment was sparkling clean, very well equipped and so well situated in Old Town that we easily walked to all the local sights and were just steps away from the harbour that is filled with wonderful restaurants. We could not have wished for a better experience.

The apartment is clean and modern and is in a fantastic location. Despite being in a very busy area, it very quiet during the late evening and night. We only spent one night there but the apartment would be perfect for a longer stay. There are many restaurants and bars in the immediate area. It's very relaxing to have a drink and watch the world go by from the balcony.

What a fabulous property and host. It is exactly as promised and pictured. Great place to call home while exploring Crete!

We had a wonderful stay at Tanja's place which gave us some great tips for visiting the surroundings. Everything was planned for us and our baby to have a good time. The unit is very cute and compliant with photos. Thanks again Tanja for your great hospitality!

The apartment was perfect for our stay. It was clean, adequately furnished and provided all basic amenities. The balcony area was generous and the views were amazing. Location gave us easy access to the centre of Agios Nikolaos and along the promenade to areas for swimming and beaches. Irini was quick to respond to the questions we asked and helpful with some local knowledge. We would recommend this apartment for your stay.

We had a great week in Istro and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this apartment. It was very comfortable and bright yet lovely and cool. We loved having breakfast and dinners on the spacious, shaded balcony with the beautiful views over the sea and mountains. We found Istro a perfect base for visiting the east, south and centre of Crete. We appreciated the wine, water, fruit and breakfast items generously provided by our hosts. Several good tavernas, cafes, supermarkets and other shops were very close by. We drove through spectacular scenery and loved all of our visits especially Spinalonga Island (boat from the village of Plaka), Vai beach, the nearby ancient Minoan site at Gournia and Knossos. We loved the little seaside village of Myrtos on the south coast and the tiny and very authentic village of Prina just a few kilometres away in the hills above Istro. Many thanks to our friendly hosts for everything.

Amazing place! Spotlessly clean, looks exactly the same as the pictures. Very comfy and felt right at home. The blackout blinds were fabulous!! Dimitrios was very quick with communication, and had some great recommendations on where to eat and places to see. Would give him 6 stars if I could!!!

We enjoyed this beautiful home in a peaceful and quiet part of town. The location was perfect to walk into Chanda’s old town and so many wonderful restaurant choices along the way. We highly recommend it here.

Sia is very attentive, accessible and friendly. We were pampered with snacks, raki and a breakfast basket. The view over the bay is stunning. By foot you are quickly at the beach. Grocery stores nearby. Please climb before you get there, but do it with pleasure for the beautiful view.

George was a great host, friendly and at immediate disposal to answer any questions. George’s apartment is fantastic, modern, clean and with stunning views. The apartment also has two air-con units, one in the lounge and one in the bedroom. The location is fantastic, literally a 5-10 minute stroll into the centre of Elounda (be aware that you are at the top of a small hill, hence the amazing views.) You cannot park outside the property however there is plenty of parking outside the school 100 metres away. Thanks Georgios! Highly recommended.

Nice location close to everything. Perfect apartment for an immersion in the Cretan atmosphere. We recommend this apartment without hesitation or reservation.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The apartment was perfect, it was super clean and had everything we need. The best thing was the parking spot so close to the city center and that restaurants, the old harbor and a supermarket is in walking distance. Thank you Chrysa!

It was a great time to stay here at Urban hive suites! Upon arrival, welcome food and drinks were provided along with the hand-written note. Kinda far walk from the port(around 15mins), but everything is still in walking distance! This suites offers every aspects of conveniences such as laundry machines and inductions for cooking. Highly recommend!

so friendly and responsive. perfect little stay!

The location of this apartment is incredible! Right on Lion's square, walkable to tons of restaurants, shops, the archaelogical museum, and bus stops. The balcony of this apartment is also beautiful, and has a nice ocean view and hammock. Kostis is also responsive and helpful. Would recommend!

Great little apartment in Iraklion. Susanna is a great host. Only downside is the location which is a bit noisy because of the airport and there aren't tons of things to do around. There are buses to the center that come fairly often.
