Exceeded all expectations. Fabulous hosts. You can’t beat the views. The apartment is spacious, bright with everything you need. We’ve been to many VRBO (only in Canada though) This was the cleanest of all.
Kind regards Wendy

Stayed here for 8 days and the property and its owners were excellent. The property is very well maintained and has everything you need for your stay. The apartment was spotless, with great views down over Cavtat and towards Dubrovnik. The owners were quick to answer any queries and were so friendly and helpful. We walked down into Cavtat every day, but were happy to let Uber bring us back up to the property for a very reasonable amount - it is walkable back up if you’re a bit fitter than us 😊. We travel extensively and I can’t fault the apartment, we all had a lovely week

Villa Sandra is amazing! It's a huge apartment, as is the terrace. Furnishings throughout were the highest standard & the sea view is beautiful & includes Dubrovnik's old town. The villa is perfectly located 10 mins from the airport, & is really peaceful. Cavtat was wonderful, littered with great restaurants dotted around the 3 harbour inlets. It never felt overcrowded & we found it easy getting tables overlooking the harbour, which was beautiful. We traveled with our 14 year old son, who loves the water, and there was lots to do! You can take a boat taxi to Dubrovnik, there are various boat tours, you can hire a private boat, & there is a watersports centre at the far side of the harbour that the teams whizz you over to in a speedboat, for even easier access. The Villa is about a 15 min walk from the harbour, up a medium hill; easy to come down, but back up we decided to get Ubers, which were so easy to book & very well priced. Too many plus points to mention, but Srecko, Sandra's husband went above & beyond. He took us to a supermarket near Dubrovnik on our 1st day, & collected us from another during the week. He was amazing, nothing was too much trouble. There are 2 supermarkets near the bus station in Cavtat, amply well stocked though, so if you don't need a weekly shop, please save him the trouble (much as nothing is an inconvenience to such a nice man). We miss everything about our hols already! Can't recommend enough. Thank you Sandra & Srecko!!!

I wish I could give this apartment more than 5 stars as we had a truly fantastic stay at Villa Sandra.
We received an incredibly warm welcome from Sandra and Srecko and nothing was too much trouble.
The apartment was spotless, very well-equipped and had so many ‘little extras’ that made such a difference to our 10-day stay.
The peaceful location (along with the amazing view) suited us perfectly and the 20 minute walk back from the harbour was not a problem, but an Uber was only €3-€4 and always available.
We absolutely loved Cavtat and felt so lucky to have stayed at Villa Sandra. Book it - you will not be disappointed!

My best friend and I stayed at this wonderful apartment for a week . We were picked up by taxi from the airport. This was kindly arranged by Sandra the host. We travelled the short distance from the airport where Sandra met us and greeted us at the apartment. We were shown around and told if we needed anything just to contact her . Later that afternoon Sandra’s husband took us to the supermarket to buy any supplies we needed.
The apartment has great views, is very spacious and well equipped. The English films, news, sports channels etc is an added bonus if you have time to watch . It is quite a walk as mentioned in other reviews to the main restaurants but you can get the number 10 bus for €1.60 which takes you half way up or down. Also taxis are readily available.
The closest restaurant (By The Way) is about a10 min walk and serves great food and much cheaper and bigger portions than any other restaurant we tried .
We loved every minute of our stay at Sandra’s villa . Sandra and her husband are perfect hosts

Thank you for letting us stay it was very relaxing even though we had lots of rain. Plenty of good restaurants and lovely walks around the town. The hills and steps has helped the fitness!!

Great place with a wonderful view
Very close to the airport, the apartment had everything we needed and an amazing view of the bay of Kavtat. Easy drive or water taxi to Dubrovnik, which was even more beautiful than we expected. Would definitely recommend.

Sandra's husband Srecko kindly collected us from Dubrovnik airport and chatted to us on the short journey to their accommodation. It was clear from previous communication with Sandra and talking to Srecko they were friendly warm people.
The 3 bedroom penthouse appartment was superb. Unbelievable views to Dubrovnik with a beautiful sunset each evening. 3 perfect double bedrooms, 2 beautiful bathrooms and massive lounge. Our bedroom and the lounge had large patio doors opening in to a large private balcony which was furnished with sunbeds etc.
Srecko even drove us to Dubrovnik for us to catch a bus at the end if our stay.
Streckos parents live on the ground floor (Grandad) He was a lovely man who found my swimming shorts when they blew off of the balcony one evening.
If you want superb accommodation and lovely hosts please book this.
Note. We are now staying in a nice hotel on Brac island in a very expensive room. The air conditioning and facilities do not come close to Villa Sandra.
Thank you for our lovely week
Rob and Sue.

Spectacular view, and watching the sun set on the Adriatic from the deck was incredible. Spotless 3 bedroom, 2 bath, laundry, all expected appliances, huge deck with comfortable chairs, etc. Owner is fantastic, very accommodating, even printing our covid results for us which we needed to travel back home. Amazing property that I would highly recommend to others, and we hope to return in the future!

Fantastic stay
Just returned from a 5 night stay at this wonderful apartment, it was perfect in every way.
The owners were a lovely couple who couldn't have been more helpful providing lifts if needed, helpful information on the area and always a warm greeting. We travelled as a family of 4 and the accommodation was the perfect size for us with modern fixtures and comfy beds.
I would recommend Villa Sandra to family and friends and would not hesitate to return in the future.

Apartment was as good as they show in the pictures. Host Sandra and her husband were very friendly and helpful. Cavtat was really nice village, we prefered it even more than Dubrovnik, since it was easier to go around with strollers. Apartment was on top of a hill, so walk there was little challenging for some of us, but the view was worth the climb. I would recommend the place for anyone who likes to spent their vacation in a nice and easy place near Dubrovnik.

Wonderful apartment
Stayed for a few days with friends to explore the region. Our hosts went above and beyond offering rides and accommodating our staggered arrival times. We stayed in for dinner a few nights and the kitchen was great. Highly recommend and would stay again.

We had the pleasure of staying in Villa Sandra for a week & to say the property is first class is an understatement, it totally exceeded our expectations. The view, hosts, apartment itself & facilities were all to the highest of standards. The area is quiet yet close enough to walk to the supermarket or catch a bus to the centre of Cavtat, it is walkable but an uphill walk. The hosts Sandra & Srecko were so accommodating & nothing too much trouble. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this apartment to anyone.

We had a beautiful stay at Sandra and Srecko’s apartment.
We have rented apartments all over Europe, as well as the Caribbean and Hawaii. This was right up there with the nicest we have rented. Sandra and Srecko were gracious hosts and made us feel at home right from the start. The apartment was very large and it was so nice to have the washer and dryer for doing laundry. The bedrooms were beautiful and our ensuite in the Master bedroom was beautiful. The huge deck was amazing and the views of the Adriatic were spectacular. We were given a bottle of Croatian red wine upon our arrival and it was very good. They provided soap, shampoo, laundry and dishwasher detergent, food condiments, etc. The town of Cavtat is so pretty, it’s right out of a fairy tale. It’s a about a 15 minute walk down to the town from the apartment. The walk back up is a steep one but we needed the exercise so didn’t mind at all. We ate at a restaurant in town called Ivan’s. It was very good so went a couple of times! We also took the water taxi to and from Dubrovnik which was a recommendation from Sandra. It was well worth it! Just catch it at the waterfront in Cavtat and it drops you off right at the old town port of Dubrovnik. Only 100 kuna for a return ticket which is about 25 Canadian Dollars. We heard a couple nightmare stories about the #10 bus and the parking in Dubrovnik can be horrible so we were very happy with the water taxi. If you have a rental car there is big Konzum grocery store about 10 minutes up the highway toward Dubrovnik. And there is a great hair salon just 5 minute walk from the apartment down the hill just before the school. We would highly recommend Sandra and Srecko’s apartment to anyone visiting Cavtat, or wanting a place close to Dubrovnik but a lot more peaceful. Our sincere thanks to Sandra and Srecko.

Wonderful, every thing you need in comfort and fabulous views.
Sandra and her husband could not do enough for us, they organised our taxi from and tothe airport and any other taxis that we needed
And were always ready to give us a lift themselves.
The apartment was a delight, and not many rentals measure up to their claims, this exceeded all expectations. I will recommend it to all my friends.

We stayed at the apartment mid September. 6 adults and a baby. Excellent holiday.
We took our 2 daughters and their husbands plus our 11 month old granddaughter. The accommodation top class, and I am one fussy lady to please. Our hosts Sandra and Srecko could not do enough for us. Helpful before and during our stay. Accommodation had enough space to escape from each other if we needed to. Balcony fabulous sun and shaded areas. Views amazing. Catvat has the wow factor and we will definitely go back. We are in love with it. Perfect holiday made even better by our hosts and their accommodation.

Fabulous Holiday!
The apartment is perfectly located with a stunning view. It is well equipped, modern and clean. The owners are lovely, offering help and advice when requested.
This was our first holiday in Croatia and we had a great time. Cavtat is pretty with some nice small beaches dotted around. The restaurants are all good and seem to offer a similar menu. Dubrovnik is stunning, a must see. We also loved Lokrum island.
We will return!

A truly FANTASTIC holiday!
We just wanted to convey our thanks for your hospitality and efforts to make our holiday truly fantastic - we loved your excellent accommodation with amazing views, Cavtat itself and the friendliness of the Croatian people. What wonderfully cultural experiences we have had with brilliant sunshine and of course, the added delight of swimming in the warm Adriatic - we were very sorry to leave this morning.

Absolutely loved it and would highly recommend
The property was exactly as we had expected but views were very special. The apartment was spotlessly clean and very modern and only one year old. Hosts were so lovely and very helpful. Would highly recommend and we will be returning for sure and so will our friends.

Excellent apartment - Wonderful hosts
Villa Sandra is every bit as good as it looks on the website. Spacious and beautifully furnished with free air conditioning and a great balcony. And in Sandra and Srecko you have the perfect hosts, who give you a warm welcome and follow it up with offers of help including lifts, vegetables from their garden, suggestions for dining out and assistance with the B-B-Q! The apartment is in a very quiet area with the Cavtat bars and restaurants a 15 minute stroll downhill. Four of us enjoyed a great week's holiday here at the end of May, but the apartment could accommodate six comfortably. Thoroughly recommended. A big thank you to Sandra and Srecko for making our stay so enjoyable...

BEYOND EXPECTATIONS
Most marketing/advertising puts the best foot forward and reality is often somewhat less than what is shown. In this case, reality exceeds the 'advertising'. Where does one begin - the views from the wrap around balcony are spectacular. I just mentioned to a friend that the coast line is more magnificent than Big Sur in California and certainly gives Amalfi a run for its money (roads are better here than in Italy). Sandra's home is everything and more than you want - clean, comfortable, spacious, bright... There are 3 very large bedrooms with two full baths so we 6 adults had no problems in that regard.
The kitchen is fully equipped and Sandra provides some very nice touches in a surprisingly well stocked pantry - better than any thing else we have seen on VRBO rentals.
It is very close to the airport, which is not very busy, and we got to watch planes coming in. Not like a major airport where one very 15 minutes would be aggravating, but less than one an hour on average, and shutting down during the sleeping hours, so that was pretty cool.
A 15 minute walk down to the town where there are some terrific restaurants - ask Sandra about Toranj - and also the marvelous fish restaurant that starts with a 'K' - not a great view but amazing fish!
I think when people realize what Sandra's place has to offer it will be booked very quickly, so if you are planning to visit Dubrovnik and want to experience the complete package (great ferry and bus service from Cavtat to Dubrovnik, and an easy drive and parking by car) you would be wise to book early!
I know sometimes with limited reviews one can be a bit cautious. I certainly am. In this case taking the risk was more than well worth it.

Amazing stay
We highly recomend this apartment, because is just as it appears on the photos: gorgeous. Brand new, beautifull, fully equiped, and very comfortable with amazing views. And so close to Dubrovnick and so far from the crowd. An the hosts are very kind.

Property was amazing and owners were great.
Don't really do reviews for anything but feel I have to for this holiday, firstly the apartment was first class and could not be any better with great facilities and a view to die for. What made the property and experience better were the fantastic hosts Sandra and Lucky who were the nicest people you could meet and were very accommodating ensuring that our holiday was very enjoyable.
5 star place and people!!
