Waterfront vacation rentals in Makry Gialos

It was just nice to vacation in the beautifully renovated old town house. Georgios was always available, even wanted to help us when we had an accident with the rental car. You live very privately and from the roof terrace you have a beautiful view, you can even watch the fishermen.

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment has the best views. In the middle of everything you need in Plaka, great restaurants and shop 50 yds away. I will visit again next year again in October. Thanks Lilly.

A truly fantastic place to stay. Exceptionally well stocked apartment with absolutely everything you would need for a long or short stay. Close to lots of restaurants, but well stocked kitchen if you prefer to cook. Beautiful terrace for dining, both undercover and outside. Host Viky is charming and friendly and could not be more helpful. We hope to return another time.

This is really a gorgeous apartment. Recently built, very high quality construction, beautiful contemporary style and detailing, nicely furnished and decorated. Location is right on the sea wall (I think our balcony was about 20 feet horizontally and 20' vertically from ocean water!). Stephani met us upon arrival and got us settled in. She also was great with advice on nearby restaurants and grocery stores. We really enjoyed our time there.

A lovely base for exploring the area, close to the harbour to easily get to Spinalonga. Irini was so helpful, the view from the balcony was worth every penny. We are already looking to book again next year :)

The apartment is fantastic. It is even more beautiful than the pictures and you immediately feel comfortable when you enter it. It is very stylishly decorated and the terrace is really a dream. However, you have to be aware that the complex is located in one of the tourist hotspots on Crete. The advantage is that it is located at the very beginning of the street, so that even on the terrace you do not notice much of all the hustle and bustle. Opposite was a small beach section without sun loungers and parasols which fortunately could be used to spend time on the beach. You don't notice anything on the terrace and have absolute peace to relax. The terrace is built in such a way that it cannot be seen by others. We spent 12 wonderful days there. Eva welcomed us warmly and also provided a few delicacies for the reception. Fruit, bread, cheese and sausage so that you could relax after your arrival. Thank you very much.

We had a great stay with Apostolis! He was a great host and very responsive. The suite was beautiful and very clean with a great view from the balcony. Would highly recommend! Nearby parking and great restaurants in walking distance.

This was a beautiful apartment in a fantastic location. Fotini was an amazing host , friendly with great local recommendations for restaurants etc The place was exactly as advertised and the outdoor balconies great at night with a glass of wine overlooking the ocean. This apartment and host is highly recommended. We even had housekeeping service for the two days we were there. A great place to stay in Crete

We felt very comfortable in Eftychia's apartment! It looks exactly like the pictures and was very clean and tidy. It is right on the sea and in a quiet neighborhood; often we were the only people on the beach. We would definitely recommend the place!

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The view of the water is absolutely beautiful. The host was incredibly helpful and even assisted us in booking our car rental for the vacation. The place was clean and well-maintained. The location is also great, with restaurants just a short walk away.

We loved our stay! The apartment is located just on top of the Taverna and about 15 meters from the beach. Within 5 minutes walk there is also a yoga location offering amazing drop in classes. From the moment we drove into the town we were warmly greeted by the lambros family. We spent the next 5 days at the beach and taverna relaxing. It was a great experience and we truly felt part of the local community for the short period we stayed. I highly recommend it if you want to relax and do less rather than more! The apartment is spacious and provides all you need for your stay, including a washing machine. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of space to chill.

The stay was great. The location with this beautiful view directly on the sea was outstanding! We felt like at home and the children loved it too. We were always able to reach out to Karolos and he gave us great tips for restaurants and things to do. We'd come back in a heartbeat!

Great location overlooking the harbour. Vibrant esplanade with outdoor seating area to enjoy the ambiance. The apartment was in close proximity to public parking, shops and restaurants- 2-3 minutes walk. Spacious 2 storey apartment with a nice master bedroom suite upstairs and balcony and fully functional kitchen and facilities and second bedroom on the ground floor.

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!

This was a great stay 🤩 first of all, the house is literally right in front of the beach! there is privacy with no neighbors except for the house in the back which was not felt at all. there is a porch for hanging out, Yannis was above and beyond helpful and was available whenever we needed anything! thank you so much Yannis! 💛

Beautiful villa with a great view. Location is great to walk to restaurants and shops. Audrey was friendly, helpful and quick to respond.

Wow! We went to a bachelorette party 4 girls and it was simply amazing! George was long before the trip spoke to me on whatsapp and was available for all my questions. Booked us a taxi from the airport that arrived just on time and everything was very clear through whatsapp. Also at the entrance to the property, George received us, took luggage ( until check-in) and kept them in a secure room. The property is stunning and just right,cozy, clean, quiet neighborhood and right next to all the fun - exactly five minutes walking distance. Buy us some nibbles that were waiting for us in the room, was always available for questions and recommendations for us and even made me really good and took me a ride to the massage he had booked for me in advance in the area. Really was just perfect. I really recommend to anyone who wants to clear their minds and get reliable and professional service above and beyond.

Wonderful. Property exactly as described. Alexandra was a wonderful host. We were spoilt with extras-cakes, a sun hat, toiletries, towels, fruit , tea & coffee I highly recommend staying at Alexandra’s and Maria. X

This is a gen of a place to stay. Walking distance from the port as we arrived by ferry. View was spectacular as you overlook the marina. Less than a min walk out the front door to the old town water front with all the great restaurants/bars and live music. This was a gem of a find!

Amazing place. Very private and quiet. Location is also great, lots of restaurants, bars and coffee shops to walk to. If I have the chance will definitely come back. Recommend it!

The host are super nice, always respond to app and ask if all is well (She had even baked brownies for us). In addition, the apartment is quite spacious and every room has air conditioning. The balconies are very nice to start the day with a beautiful view. The bathroom is also great, with a rain shower and even a washing machine. In addition, everything was clean and well arranged.

Nice apartment. The guidebook sent by Nikos proved to be very useful and reliable.

We had a great night at Dafni's place which is very welcoming. The small private terrace with sea view for breakfast or aperitif is exceptional! Beautiful Voulisma Beach is within walking distance from the bedroom. If time had allowed us, we would have spent more time at Dafni's place. We can wholeheartedly recommend this listing! Thanks for everything!

An absolutely amazing spot in Agios Nikolaos! A spectacular balcony to relax on and take in the Mediterranean views. (Also came in handy to dry my clothes - drying rack provided - after using the washing machine.) Totally walkable to all bakeries, restaurants, shops and “the Lake.” A two minute walk from a larger grocery store which was clutch for grabbing food and some beer & wine for the balcony. A five minute walk to a local swimming dock & beach club. Emma & her mother were great hostesses! Her mother checked me into apartment and showed me all the ins & outs of the space. A complimentary bottle of wine & homemade raki greeted you in the perfect size kitchen. Even flowering vines fragrantly welcomed you home after dinner. Might be my favorite Airbnb of all time! Just a wonderful stay…and for an incredible price! Value at its best. Would live there if I could.
