Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Heraklion

Plenty of amenities, clean and in an excellent location close to the port.

We can highly recommend this accommodation. It's tucked away in a very secluded spot, which makes it wonderfully peaceful. At the same time, you can reach restaurants and a mini market in just a few minutes. A car is essential! The garden is stunning. The biodiversity is incredible. There's always something new to discover. The house is quite small and simply furnished, but that was absolutely fine. Everything was clean, and that's what matters most. The long driveway leading to the house can be a bit intimidating—it just slopes down without any railing or guard. But that’s just part of the Cretan charm. Giannis was always very friendly and helpful—thank you for everything! We also got to know the neighboring family and even visited them. Such kind people. And the animals! Aphroditi the horse, a peacock, chickens, and turkeys—our daughter loved them. Overall a great experience. We were very happy and would definitely recommend it. Who knows—maybe we’ll be back in a few years!

Lovely place to stay and well set up - we had a very comfortable couple of days Fabulous to be welcomed with fresh produce most of which was home grown in the fridge and a bottle of wine as well as oils and vinegar and tea and coffee Would definitely stay there again

The house was great , new furniture with nice style , the host was there for everything I needed !!!

We loved the location that included easy access, a wonderful kitchen, dining living room and a fantastic terrace/balcony that provided comfortable seating to enjoy the view and activities on the walking street below. Xanthi's place had great charm and we loved her grandmother's paintings which provided a special character to her place. We would definitely stay at Xanthi's when we return to a suprizingly walkable and comfortable Heraklion!!

Manos's place was located at a beautiful ans peaceful location, near the city centre but also at a good distance away from too much crowds. The apartment was as described, and is also clean and spacious. Manos even provided handmade cookies from his father and local Raki for us to try. He was also open to us leaving our luggages in the apartment while it was being cleaned due to our earlier arrival. Overall a very pleasant and lovely experience!

Nikos went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The property is modern, clean and well equipped. I highly recommend this as a place to stay.

Great appartement near the centre but in a very quiet street. Very good size with air conditioning and a little outside terrace for sitting in the evening (shared with the flat across). The only slight problem is the fridge turns off when you leave the flat. But great place, nice and clean :)

Very spacious, modern apt with a beautiful balcony. The street noise below made it difficult to sit out and talk there, but the view of the ocean was very nice. Well appointed kitchen. Very clean and neat. Mihalis gave us a great recommendation for dinner nearby that was lovely. We had a nice stay here

Outstanding location, many place to eat and shop. It’s steps away from the beach and the roof top patio is spacious and beautiful. Lots of public transit but we chose to rent a car to enjoy the whole island. Would highly recommend this apartment. Host was very helpful.

We loved our stay, wish it was longer. Great apartment,

Great accommodation! The accommodation was spotless, fully equipped and in a great location. The host was friendly and willing to help with anything we needed. We'll definitely go for it again!

We had a wonderful stay in Agia Pelagia. Host was very hospitable, responsive, and provided many restaurant recommendations. The flat is exactly as shown in the photos. We would stay here again!

It’s a beautiful roof-apartment with a cool Terrasse We liked it there

Small apartment located near the host, Maria, a lovely person who was very accommodating for our arrival and even helped us book a taxi. We had rusks, jam and fresh water when we arrived, and the apartment was full of 90s/2000s memorabilia! The bathroom, quite cramped, deserves a certain skill (be careful to protect the toilet paper from splashes!!), but it was a perfect stay, I recommend it.

Great location! Host was very helpful!

Great location and responsive host. Quiet location yet still close to center of town. Would definitely come back!

Excellent communication, great recommendations and a lovely space. The area was just what we were looking for and close to everything (plus super close to Her Rentals if you want a scooter). Will definitely stay again :)

Giannis's flat was really clean and beautiful. The neighborhood is calm and provides various restaurants, bakery and supermarket. The communication with Gianni was quick and easy, it's a welcoming host. It's a really good choice for visiting Heraklion 👍

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!

Great location and a beautiful view! Super nice apartment too!

Susanna is a great host definitely recommend her. she has a spacious sunny clean place with a small backyard at a non touristic part of the island. always responsive and accommodative.

Wonderful Stay – Felt Just Like Home! We had an amazing experience staying at this lovely house near the center of Heraklion in Crete. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the town center, even with a stroller, which made exploring the area so convenient. The house itself was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, and more. The kitchen was well-equipped, the living room was cozy and welcoming, and the bedrooms were comfortable and quiet—perfect for relaxing after a day out. It truly felt like a home away from home. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely love to return in the future, especially since we have family living nearby. Highly recommended—such a great place to stay

Very roomy for two. The host was extremely kind and provided generous gifts (food and drinks). The apartment has anything you should need during a stay.
