Family-friendly vacation rentals in Chania

My boyfriend and I stayed 5 days in the accommodation and were very pleased with our stay. The apartment is on the first floor of a beautiful modern house. The apartment was very well equipped, there was nothing missing. The beautiful terrace with a hot tub is worth mentioning. The location is great. It is about 15 minutes drive to the center of Chania. Several beaches are within walking distance. The house itself is in a quiet location. It offers a good base for exploring Crete. Katerina and her husband are great hosts. Upon arrival, a fresh Greek salad, oranges and wine awaited us. We got fresh vegetables from the garden a few days later. Katerina was always available and very friendly. We felt very comfortable. Overall, we would recommend the accommodation! 5/5 stars!

The places is perfect.

Great stay, great location, great views. Very close to many bars and restaurants. Not too noisy at night. The only slightly negative aspect was the shower. Basically made the entire floor flooded. Overall, i would recommend the place and would definitely return.

Hidden gem! Loved this home, literally two minute walk to Golden Beach. Katerina is so sweet (she met us in-person, had local restaurant recommendations, and even provided a bottle of wine). The home was perfect for our group of 6 (great value for the money, too). Would 100% come again!

Beautiful place and great host

Nikos and Joanna were excellent hosts. Clear instructions of how to find the villa and greeted us on arrival. The villa is immaculate, very high end finish and the surrounding area is stunning. Close to both Chania and the Marina, both worth a visit. We have had a brilliant time with the family and will definitely be back again!

What a wonderful house! We were surprised to be so close to 2 lovely beaches, great hikes and a delicious restaurant. We’re a family with 3 young kids and they loved the swing, swinging bench, jacuzzi, space to play inside. Dimitris left a baby crib, high chair, and toddler potty for us which was super helpful. The best was Dimitris was very kind upon greeting us late at night when we arrived.

A lovely, luxury appartment near the beach and about 30 minutes' walk from the old town of Chania. A well-equipped, clean and beautiful appartment, but above all the warm and friendly hostess Anastasia. She guided us around the area, brought local delicacies, stocked the fridge with food and even drove us to the grocery store with her car. We really enjoyed our stay at the appartment and can wholeheartedly recommend it to others. You certainly wont't be disapointed!

We had a perfect stay at Dimitra’s beautiful house. She was super responsive, helpful, and friendly. The house is spotless and has all the amenities you need. The location is peaceful and secluded but also easy to get to nearby restaurants and beaches. We wished we could spend the whole summer here!

Fantastic stay! Alkis was very accommodating and quick to help. He organized cars for us, had recommendations and was all around a great host. The place was perfect for us and a perfect location just steps to the beach. We have little kids so a quick beach break worked famously for us. We debated staying in the old town but I’m extremely glad we didn’t. Highly recommend!!

Very pleasant stay at Irene's. House in a very good location amid olive trees and close to many places. Irene is a very welcoming, kind, caring person... we were treated to small specialties when we arrived and when we returned in the evening... i highly recommend. Thank you Irene

Beautiful, clean, and very responsive. The stay was as advertised. This home is well maintained, comfortable , and close to everything.

5* place 5* location 5* communication.

The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. The place was super clean and everything well maintained. Just felt right at home with an amazing view, great beds and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Villa for our family party. Spacious, well equipt and with lovely pool and view. There are nice (and inexpensive restaurants within walking distance too). Neighbourhood was peaceful. We felt very much at home, mainly due to the fantastic hosting. Georgia and Andreas are so friendly. Cheerful , beautiful people. They want to make every part of the stay special. Thank you both! ❤️

Stayed here from June 9 - June 13, our reservation was for two people. Mano was very kind and accommodating to us. We took a ferry to Heraklion, rented a car, and drove to the Airbnb. No trouble finding it, and having a private parking space in this location is a HUGE plus! Chania parking and driving is very chaotic. Airbnb was very generously stocked with espresso pods, Ouzo, items from the hosts bakery (the banana bread was incredible), a bottle of water, and more. Everything we needed! Excellent local recommendations and a super market within a short walk. Everything worked perfectly and was very clean too! Would 100% recommend and stay here again!

Wonderful Experience at the Villa Elias! Our stay at the villa was perfect. The sea view was breathtaking, especially during sunset – a true sense of calm, quiet, and complete privacy. Choosing this villa was an excellent decision, especially because of the heated pool, which the kids absolutely loved. They enjoyed both swimming and playing in the spacious garden. The villa is well-equipped, with many useful items that made our stay very comfortable, including an air pump for pool toys. The location is also great – close to shops, supermarkets, and pharmacies. Highly recommended for families looking for a peaceful and convenient holiday with children. Wissam,

We felt very comfortable. The villa has everything you need and inside everything is very well maintained. In the kitchen there is tea, olive oil and herbs. The terrace and pool are great! The pool is as shown in the last photo. The first two days were very windy, then less, but in any case, we and our 3 children absolutely enjoyed the fact that the pool was heated. Thank you for that! Below the property is a construction site, which is a shame for the view to one side, but otherwise not really disturbing. Unfortunately, we did not get to know Maria personally, but communication with her was straightforward and kind. We definitely recommend the villa.

My mom and I had a wonderful 5 nights at Georgios. Everything was perfect! ✨ The host's clear instructions helped to find the hotel easily. It is convenient that there is a large parking lot nearby. The room was very clean, and we also cleaned and changed towels several times. The kitchen has everything you need to cook, only the stove is a little slow. But that's a trifle. It's great that there is both a balcony and a terrace near the entrance to the room, so you have several options where to sit or have breakfast. 🥰🌴 The pool is beautiful! Quite large! The terrace on the top floor on the roof has a beautiful view of the sea and the city. There is also a grill and a place for dinners. Please note that the stairs in the room are very steep and you need to be careful. I advise you to never rush them. The location is convenient, there is everything you need nearby. Many taverns with delicious food. We also went to Khanyu by car - 15 minutes. To Elafonisi - 1.40 hours. I would like to note the very pleasant communication with Georgios. He gave great recommendations for interesting places nearby🤍. We recommend this place for relaxation

As a small family, we had a wonderful and uncomplicated time in the villa. There were even children's toys for our son. The view from the pool is even better than in the photos. The location is really quiet and the small dining area outside with refrigerator and grill was just perfect for us. Grilling fish with a view of the sea, the hum of crickets in warm temperatures with a light breeze was fantastic. Our son had a lot of fun every morning picking up the lemons that fell ripe from the tree :-) Thank you for these relaxing days!

Our stay with Eleftheria and Michalis in Chania was nothing short of exceptional. The house is amazing—spacious, immaculate, and clearly designed with incredible care and attention to detail. The location is superb, and it’s easily one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. The hosts went above and beyond—warm, welcoming, and always available. They helped us with everything from our early arrival to washing our car, making us feel completely at home. I truly hope to return one day with the rest of our family, and I’d recommend this place to anyone visiting Crete without hesitation.

Nektaria and Niko’s’ hospitality is unmatched! They are such lovely and delightful people and made all of our family feel right at home from the moment we met them. The views and home are one of a kind! Such a special place my family will always remember. Absolutely would recommend to anyone visiting Crete and hope to be back again! :)

Maryellen communicated really well before and during the stay. The house is a fantastic location but you need a car or taxi to get to local restaurants and into Chania. Maryellen even booked the taxi for us to Chania. The house is fully equipped with everything. The views are amazing over looking the sea. The outside space is great with magical pool. It’s on a hill so probably not suitable for people who find it difficult with stairs and because the pool is an infinity pool you would need to be careful of children in the pool. The house is private and in a quiet location. We will be going back, one of the best Airbnb we have been to.

We had an amazing stay at Villa Athina, such a wonderful place. The views are stunning from sunrise to sunset and it’s so beautifully peaceful. There’s lots of seating areas, for sun and shade, and evening dinners on the terrace was a real highlight. The hatch from the kitchen window is such a bonus, we had fun passing food out for the table and shouting ‘service’ 🛎️ Yannis and Emmanuel are wonderful hosts right from the time we booked, very attentive, providing lots of useful information and helping with our late evening arrival transfer from Heraklion. In addition, manager Georgia and her husband Stathis were super helpful and friendly, on hand during our stay, ensuring we had everything needed. We walked down to a fabulous local taverna called Laventis, food was delicious, but generally a car is needed to get about to amazing beaches, the old town is very pretty and we hired a boat for 5 hours, €150, a great way to explore. One of the best family holidays ever, thank you.
