A incredibly Nice place with lots of space. A garden perfect for relaxing and letting a kid Play around Without worry. The house is practically ON the Beach. When we arrived the host greeted us and had made us a big moussaka that was still in the oven. There was also a big basket of bread, fruites and other delicious things, and a good greek wine! This place itself is all the reason we need to come back to crete. Just amazing!

The WiFi was a bit unstable, But for us Thats just a pluss when we are on vaccation.

Next time - Same place!

Maria - a magical women waited for us to checkin , left us a Welcome Musaka and had tons of patience to explain about the place, close by recommended restaurants etc. The flat was well organized with sufficient place for all 6 of us , graet front end garden and direct access to the beach !

U liked it all!

The house is absolutely perfect. Never been to a place so well equipped- In general and especially for kids (we were 5 with kids 10,8,3- all were super happy with the toys, games and beach stuff, which of course made the parents really happy) Everything is nicely and thoughtfully decorated, With first class furnitures both inside and outdoor. All with great care for details. Maria was so kind, came to meet us at the house with a cooked dinner and some other goodies. The house is ON the beach. And the water are calm and crystal clear. This is truly the definition of a vacation home.

Two things to take under consideration: 1. There is an upper level apartment, (with a separate garden and entrance) which could mean some noise and less privacy 2. As the house is literally on the beach, people go by and take an envious look at it. So a bit lack of privacy.

This is the best location in crete!!!

Its a perfect dream location, the owner is very welcoming and the house is very comfortable. This is the best location you can hope for. Great paddle board and lots of games. The house had a lit of things provided so we didnt nedd to buy so much things. Kitchen all working very well. . The owner also allowed us a late check out that was so kind of her....

There is nothing that we did not like at all. But do note the following points. As this was august we kept the door closed after 6pm to avoid mosquitoes comibg into the house.

Luxurious house right on the beach

Probably the best house you can rent on Crete :) The hosts are very nice people, they treated us like old friends. Upon arrival the house smelled wonderful - the had prepared greek mussaka in the owen for us. We were also given a basket of greek goods as a gift. There were fruits, candies, coffee, rakija and fully loaded fridge. Everything was perfectly clean. There was a lot of toys and stuff for the children - they were never bored. We also enjoyed the paddleboard. If the weather is rough, it is great that the veranda can be closed by the glass panels. We had a great time.

The weather was windy and there was an earthquake, but it is not fault of the hosts :)

Perfect villa for family!

The location is perfect. Its on the beach! The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. There is everything you might need in the house and in the garden. We loved the swinging bed in the garden :) You have terrace with a glass wall so if the day is windy you can still enjoy outside dining! The owner is amazing lady, she met us with home made mousaka and a lot of cretan products for a gift :) Our children had a blasting time- because there’s a lot of toys ad kid’s stuff in the house . And the owner even put inflatable pool in the garden specially for our kids ! The villa is perfect, the owner is amazing. We will definitely be back and recommend this place to our friends!

I cannot rate this villa highly enough, it is extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need both inside and outside, when we arrived the host had made us some authentic Greek food and a welcome pack with wine / bread etc which was gorgeous and what a lovely touch! It is a fantastic place to stay right on the beach, restaurants / supermarket on doorstep. I can not wait to return

Best rental we have yet to find- steps from the sea - a little slice of paradise.

Golden Shell is a gem! The location is amazing, the hostess is friendly, kind and ready to help. The amenities at the place are the best we have ever had - especially for kids. Endless toys and water toys and things to entertain the kids by the sea. And for the adults too - the paddle board was very appreciated. The garden was incredible and every chair and chaise lounge invited you to sit, relax and soak up the sunshine and sea. I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is!

nothing - it was perfect!
