Vacation rentals with beach access in Heraklion

Everything was just perfect! The detailed description how to get to the place, the location close to the old harbor and city center and the amazing apartment itself. Nikos was available at all times to give recommendations for food and discovering Heraklion. It was amazing. Hands down best host I ever had on AirBnb.

Honestly the photos don’t even do the place justice, me and my girlfriend had the most incredible time here. George and Fofi are so lovely and accommodating, helped me get a reliable hire car for good price. We had such an amazing time and apartment and would love to come back. The place is quite tricky to find initially and up a very steep hill, so if you go the only thing I’d say is to definitely get a hire car! Really have nothing bad to say about it at all. Great place

Great hospitality from Chrysi for my last night in Crete. She even offered me some small specialties for breakfast. Chrysi is extremely kind and the setting of the accommodation is very peaceful and with great views. I recommend

We enjoyed our stay very much. The reception was friendly. George picked us up spontaneously and went shopping with us. Since we had difficulties with the rental car, George helped us directly to find another cheap car rental and announced us directly there. He gave us useful tips for our excursions. He recommended a great restaurant and even announced our arrival there. He provided us with new towels, sheets and washing powder directly on request. We even received a guest gift. The view from the balcony to the sea was great. Georges garden was also very lovingly laid out, where we could sit. The beach was within 5 minutes' walking distance and the most beautiful in the area with very clear water. We recommend the place 100 percent. If you book there, you should book a rental car, as the supermarket and restaurants are at least 2 km away. Thank you Georg for 10 beautiful vacation days. We will be happy to come back.

We had wonderful time in Ctete. Stavros was very helpful, give us a lot of recommendations for the places around, restaurants and bars. The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood, on a walking distance to the city center, very clean, well equipped with everything needed. I recommend this place and hope to return soon. ☺️

amazing stay and we enjoyed the welcome gifts. thank you again for a great stay!

amazing place and host. loved every day and the views. the open balcony and outdoor area were amazing. would love there if I could.

We absolutely loved our time here! The listing description was spot on. No surprises as everything was exactly as described. The best part was 100% the beach! Its literally right in front of the apartment! Falling asleep to the sound of ocean waves every night was so nice. Agia Pelagia itself is ideal for a relaxed vacation. The beach is peaceful, very clean, and has a great mix of sandy spots for lounging. There’s also a solid variety of restaurants nearby, plus plenty of supermarkets and souvenir shops just a short walk away. Everything you need is within walking distance. I came here with my best friend and we had the most amazing time. We’re already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful seaside getaway!

we had a lovely week at Maria's place. The covered terrace is the most beautiful room in the house with beautiful sea views. The beach is less than 5 minutes' walk, but beware, for people who have difficulty walking, the slope is rather steep to climb. Maria is very responsive and responds very quickly to messages. Agia Pelagia remains a small seaside resort in a great location for visiting the north of the island. Beautiful discovery

We had a wonderful stay at Michael's place in the Gazi area of Crete. The accommodation fully met our expectations — everything was impeccable, very clean and well organized. Host Michael was extremely friendly, attentive and professional. From the first contact to the end of our stay, we always felt supported. Your availability and kindness made all the difference and exceeded our expectations. We arrived in Crete quite early and, at our request, Michael kindly allowed an early check-in, which was a great help. In addition, he provided us with a parasol, something simple but that made all the difference during our island tours. At the end of the stay, he also offered us a late check-out, which made it a lot easier, since our flight was only in the late afternoon. It was really a fantastic experience, not only because of the space itself, but above all because of Michael's hospitality. We highly recommend it!

Very comfy flat, super clean, white sheets and towels. Perfect location for shopping, restaurants, supermarket, meeting points for travelling, also very close to the port. Enjoyed mornings and evenings on the balcony, feeling the city centre life. George was a very responsive host and supportive when a needed help. The refreshments and small treats were also a nice sign of hospitality. Definitely an excellent place to stay in Heraklion!

We were perfectly happy here, everything was as described, the hosts were super friendly and helpful, the house is perfectly equipped (we made heavy use of the sandwich toaster), there is more then enough room. The surroundings are perfect as well, it's quiet, and the beach is very near, there are also some nice restaurants there. Plus there is a bus to Heraklion that goes every half hour. There is really nothing to complain about, we felt immediately welcome, and had a great time.

Very comfortable two bedrooms. Fantastic location right on the shore with their own access to the water. A lot of good restaurants with in a walking distance.

The owners of this place were amazing! They were so nice! The apartment is very clean and organized. The view is absolutely stunning from this place! Recommending everyone to stay here! Would stay here again if we ever visited!

The place was spotless, clean, and tidy. Pamela welcomed us for our short stay in Heraklion. We were well settled there, about fifteen minutes' drive from the city center and 10 minutes from the airport, which made it easier to organize the end of our stay.

Matthaios was really very kind and attentive. Always available and, if unable to do so for any reason, the mother or wife have always been present. The house is cozy, quiet, and very close to the sea (50 meters) and equipped with all the comforts. Easy to get to from Heraklion airport and convenient to get to the beautiful nearby beaches. Highly recommended.

the place was very nice and Maria was very hospitable. Her mom gave us delicious homemade cookies. The house looked as if someone is still living there. there were personal photos and what seemed like personal items. looked a lot like a "home". We had a lovely time. thank you Maria.

Tasos is an extremely welcoming host. When we arrived late, we found a generously stocked fridge and freezer. Fruits, jams, rusks and cold and hot drinks were waiting for us. And Tasos was absolutely adorable to make our stay easier. We really appreciate it. Her apartment is very nice , the jacuzzi and the beautiful view make it a rare find. We highly recommend this rental, even more appreciated thanks to the many details Tasos has thought of.

I‘m more that happy that we decided to stay at Dimitri‘s place. He ish very kind and helped us right away, if we had any questions. The location is peaceful and has a great view. The beach is not far away and the size of the apartment is just perfekt for a single person or a couple. I will definitely visit again.

Marianna’s place was great - we had a very pleasant time there. The view over the Mediterranean Sea is stunning, and the location is easy to access. Her mum, Sonia, kindly made us a local pie upon arrival, and she was so friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. There are several excellent restaurants nearby, and it’s only about 20 minutes to the Heraklion city centre. Highly recommended!

Our family absolutely loved this place and honestly wished we had booked it for more than one night. Each room had its own air conditioner, which made sleeping very comfortable. With two bathrooms, it was perfect for our family of five—no waiting in line! One standout feature was the large, comfy couch where we could all relax together in the living room. The space felt modern, recently updated, and was spotlessly clean. We also appreciated the thoughtful little touches throughout the home. It’s an easy walk to both restaurants and the beach, which was a huge plus. The host was incredibly kind and even left us breakfast items, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We would absolutely stay here again—no hesitation!

If you're looking for the perfect stay in Heraklion you will love this apartment. The situation is ideal for exploring all that the city has to offer. Spotlessly clean and super comfortable with a huge terrace and lots of home comforts. Lucy and Nikos were quick to respond to our messages and gave us some fabulous recommendations for restaurants. We would definitely book again!!!

We had a really great stay at Hersonissos. The apartment was in a perfect position in the town and the host was extremely helpful and friendly. The only issue for me was having mobility issues the stairs were hard work, but I knew that was going to be the case and it was not misrepresented at all. So just be wary if you’re the same, but being extra careful to get up to the top sundeck was definitely worth it for the views - thank you!

I loved my stay, Georgia and her husband are the nicest of hosts and I felt like at home. The location is the best in Heraklion. 10 minutes walk to city center, less to nearby grocery stores and lots of restaurants nearby, several quite posh. I could see the sea from the roof top and the hot tub was excellent. 10/10 experience.
