Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Sfakaki

What an amazing place! Ioannis has thought about everything you could ever need and it is there!! Every thing was immaculate, beautiful white linen, beach towels, the best kitchen ever. Ioannis very thoughtfully had provided large bottles of water and fresh fruit in the fridge which I thought was wonderful. We had a problem on arrival which was sorted so quickly, thank you Ioannis! We have been to many Airb&bs and this was the best. So near the sea and fantastic restaurants, i miss the wonderful food! Thank you so much for our wonderful stay

I spent 5 nights here with my mother and 10 year old daughter, and I have not one negative comment…the house is better than pictures! The beautiful gardens give it a feel like being in a movie, and there is beautiful beach literally a few steps outside the house. There is lots of great restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. We rented a car, but if you plan to just relax and stay close by, you don’t need one. There is also a bus that you jump on to take you to Old Chania. This place is perfect for families with young and older children. And it’s so comfortable you will not want to leave. Natalia, is so kind and sweet, and is near by should you need anything.

Excellent location and house

This is such a cozy and comfy place. Beautifully decorated and sparkling clean - you almost don't want to disturb the perfection! The beds, the massive couch in the living room are all very comfortable so we woke up every morning well rested. We found everything we needed in the kitchen and in the bathroom (the latter was stocked with soaps, shampoos and creams). There is a small outdoor space , which we made use of for afternoon drinks and breakfast. Thr place is not right next to the old city, but the parking prices are very reasonable so we just drove in and parked at a big municipal parking. The place is also great as your base for day trips around the island. Our hosts were amazing, upon arrival we found fruit, wine, bread and Michalis popped in with a plate of freshly picked strawberries. Evelina gave us lots of tips on what to do and see - all great ideas. We had a great time and highly recommend the Violin House.

Hello. The place perfectly matches the photos, the outdoor patio is very nice. Host was very responsive in answering our various questions

This was one of the best houses I stayed in - really modern and great internal design. The two bathrooms are a rarity in Greece and we were really happy that we had them. We enjoyed the very comfortable beds and the pillows. A fully equipped kitchen was also a nice element to the perfect stay. Need to know that the village is on a hill and there is a narrow cobbled street (no direct access by car), but there is a small parking about 150m away from the house.

You could not ask for a more perfect location or better view. The hosts were very responsive and helpful with recommendations for sites, car rental, restaurant recommendations, etc. The property is very spacious and the hosts had very nicely stocked some treats and coffee station in the kitchen. There are lots of stairs if mobility is an issue. Only inconvenience was that there was only one key, so unless your group stays together the whole time, it does take some coordination.

We were in Greece for the first time and it was fantastic! Cleopatra's place is beautifully located, very quiet and with an enchanting view over the sea. It was as described, very clean and there is no better host than Cleopatra. She surprised us with a welcome gift , a welcome meal and a little something for Easter. Thanks again, dear Cleopatra. We would book again anytime!

Alkis is a super friendly host, and always responds so quickly. Once I didn’t know how to use the washing machine, he came in person just in five minutes! Also he gave me so many recommendations for local cuisine and tourist attractions. The apartment is well maintained and is in a rather perfect location, 10-15 minutes’ walk to the heart of the Old Town, and 1 minute’s walk just to the beachside. The parking place is easier to find compared to the old town, so it’s more friendly to self-drivers. Overall, highly recommended.

A wonderful week at the end of the season. Peaceful, well equipped and great views. Lovely host, felt so welcome. Perfect.

Attentive and very responsive host. Excellent location for visiting Heraklion.

perfect all thank you very much

Perfect location, very easy walk to everything. If you rent a car, there are plenty of parking spots very close to the apartment. Stelios was very nice. Would stay here again!!

Very nice place close to the centre!

Very well-equipped accommodation, easy to access at any time and responsive host in case of problems

George and Claire thank you for all your help around recommendations and making us feel at home. Lovely peaceful surroundings. The house was spotless and everything was perfect. If I’m ever back in the area I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Great location and very helpful

Manos and Eleni are great hosts. There apartment is convenient, comfortable and fantastic value for money. There was an amazing selection of food waiting for us in the fridge too! It's a short 10 minute walk to the old city of Herakleion with it's museum, port and restaurants.

I had a wonderful 12 day stay at the apartment. The location is great - just a few meters from the beach and still 15 minutes to the old town. Checking in with a key box and description was super easy. The host was always extremely responsive. And I mean really fast- I never waited more than a few minutes for a response. He helped me with all the questions and concerns and even lent me an umbrella and got me a yoga mat for my time. Really very helpful and always on site! The apartment is cozy. The bed is very comfortable (I always think that's important!). The sofa is a bit saggy - but it didn't bother me. The kitchen is quite well equipped. There is a real stove, toaster, kettle and microwave (which I didn't use). The balcony is large and you have sun in the morning until early afternoon. There is also a washing machine on the 2nd balcony!

What a great spacious apartment and even better location,.. and with a panoramic sea view from the spacious balcony/terrace. What more do you need? And chose Kalamaki over Matala (just visit) if you want to relax.

lovely place, in perfect condition woth all the amenities. Super well located, in front of the beach and other facilities ad well as the taxi pick up point with which you can easily go visit the old town, overall highly reccomend

This place is absolutely perfect for a stay in the city center. It has a lovely large balcony overlooking the park and is big and spacious. The place was cleaned perfectly and seemed brand new. Eleftheria communicated ahead of time and gave great information for sites and restaurants. We didn’t need anything so need to reach out but she communicated promptly and kindly. The only bummer was we were only there for one night and the fees (cleaning and Airbnb) was more than the nightly rate. But again the apartment was so clean it seemed like new. Great rooms with big tv in each bedroom and living room. Bathrooms were spacious and again impeccably clean. I would absolutely stay here again.

Great location, looks better than the photos, spacious and bright! Helpful, responsive hosts

I traveled to Crete alone and was looking for a place where I am both central and close to the beach and have a way to find peace. The property offers around package. The apartment is characterized above all by the well-equipped kitchen and the two balconies, which offer both space in the sun and food. As a host, Georges is very kind and helpful and is available for any kind of questions. He gave me helpful tips for the region and got in touch for car sharing. A car should definitely be rented here, as the island is very spacious and you can only explore part of it by bus. The connection to Heraklion is very good. Overall, I had a wonderful week and a great stay in Costal Key! The only drawback due to the season: the beach bars and taverns are not yet open at this time and I had a construction site outside the door for the first days.
