Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Malia

The is a family house, simple, pleasent and authentic. The natural surroundings are amazing. The silence is incredible. Meni and Andreas, the owners, are very nice people and we felt the love they invested in every detail. Thanks 🙏

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 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!

Having stayed in the area before, a quiet location was the most important aspect for me along with easy access to the beaches and a short walk into Hersonnisos. I couldn't have wished for a better location. The apartment was quiet with little traffic noise, compact and clean. The nearest beach was just a few minutes walk away with cafes and restaurants next to the beach. Hersonnisos itself was about 15 mins easy walk. The garden was a perfect spot for some sunbathing on those lazy days when you didn't want to leave comforts of home. It was an ideal suntrap. I didn't need anything from George on my 10 days, staying at Blue Coast Gardens -Juniper. but he was within easy reach with a whole host of helpful numbers and contacts made available, should have needed to contact him. It was great having a large comfortable double bed with good quality bedding and Aircon if it got too hot at night. All the equipment provided was in great working order, the apartment spotlessly clean. Loved it!!

The Rustic Nook was such a lovely, unique place to stay. It felt like you were tucked away in a quaint cottage in the shire. Beyond the physical attractiveness of the home, Amanda was always just a text away. I felt that if an emergency were to arise, she would’ve been there in a moment’s notice. When it came to the Rustic Nook, she thought of everything and had a note or explanation available. We loved our stay and if we ever get the chance to come back to Crete, we hope to be able to stay at the Rustic Nook again!

May 2025, 10 nights stay for three (2 adults, 1 toddler). Villa is really fantastic. Beautiful views of the sea and the bay. It offers a lot of space for more people (2 couples, 4-6 friends, 2 families) and for longer stays (storage space, cabinets and shelves, etc.). The equipment corresponds to the description and offers, even in the kitchen, everything you can need. Our highlight was the covered terrace. Our flight was moved up at short notice. A significantly earlier check-in was not a problem at all in our case. Stelios is a very friendly, helpful and dedicated host. We recommend him and his villa without restriction. Small limitation: the accommodation is a bit off the beaten track or the region is a bit scattered (mainly due to the geography of the area). Without your own car, it will be a little difficult in our opinion. However, there is a free parking space right by the house.

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.

We had a great stay at Katerina & Dimitra's apartment fantastic location for exploring this wonderful place everything we needed and more would not hesitate visiting again

We had an amazing 1 week stay at this beautiful place. Also the host was so sweet in helping us. She made sure we found the house during night time and got some food for us for breakfast. Also the place was very clean and the kitchen has everything you need. This place is just magical with the beautiful sunrise every morning. Also the inside of the house and spots outside the house give a very cozy feeling. We would also definitly recommend to hire the chef-kok for a night. It was one of the highlights of our stay because of the amazing food and their kindness to us. Would love to come here again!

We highly recommend this location. Beautiful accommodation with stunning surroundings. All the staff were delightful and nothing was too much trouble. The home cooked food was nothing short of fantastic. Particularly wonderful was the samples of traditional food (not on the menu) offering a real insight into local homemade dishes. The estate includes fruit trees, vegetables, walnut trees and much more. Guests are welcome to eat the fruit. A short walk takes you up into the pine forest, with shaded paths, local gardens and animals on route. Don’t pass up the opportunity to stay here!

This was a gem of a find with expansive views of the countryside . George was a super host! The villa was even more beautiful in person, with a large terrace and stunning views. The pool and sun decks were great. Close driving distance to a large selection of easy going taverns & supermarkets where people were very friendly and helpful . This villa is 40 min south to Matala where we enjoyed the beach and seaside restaurants and live music. We recommend!

Antonias Appartment is beautyful, very Close to restaurants and bars. The terrasse is just the most perfekt place to chill and relax. We loved every minute and hat a great time.

Amazing place to stay and Jekaterina is the BEST host! She was so attentive to our needs and made such fantastic recommendations everyday, which made our stay even better. Thank you Jekaterina! We hope to see you again soon!

Diana and her brother were very responsive, very clean house with many possibilities on foot: shops, beaches, restaurants. We recommend this property.

Had a wonderful stay here with our 2 year old. The villa was absolutely gorgeous with amazing views, especially upstairs. Pool was absolutely lovely. Hosts were really helpful and had great local recommendations.

We will miss it. The house and pool were great. We had a wonderful time there. We also took the cats to our hearts right away.❤️ In 2 years we'll be back.

Clean and nice airbnb

Very friendly staff and lovely place to stay. Felt very comfortable and relaxed.

We had a lot of fun at the place. The place was clean and just as pictured. There are many good restaurants nearby.

Fantastic communication throughout, Ami was extremely helpful and generous. Weather was not on our side unfortunately but the house had heating! Spiros the neighbour was on hand for any questions/problems and Helena at the local taverna absolutely made our holiday with her welcoming smile and her delicious food!! The house was beautiful and had everything we needed as a family of five. Just to sit outside with a coffee watching the waves roll in, saying hello to the locals was divine. Lots of lovely walks nearby, bees humming, spring flowers blooming, butterflies galore! Don’t hesitate to book Ami’s place.

We can recommend the place without restriction - The terrace is sensational, even better than in the photos - Great view of the Cretan Sea - Very good mattresses - Very friendly and helpful landlords - A good starting point for many activities in eastern and central Crete Notes: - The place is close to the highway, which you can sometimes hear, but it didn't bother us. - We found the village of Malia quite terrible, but it's OK for shopping and eating. Otherwise, you don't have to go there. Other: We flew with Aegean and rented a car from bluecarrental. Both were very good.

It was a very nice apartment with great sea views and the sound of the sea to fall asleep was just wonderful. The apartment is very centrally located and there are many great bars and restaurants nearby. Lina is a very nice and friendly host and everything worked out well. We will definitely come back.

Time spent in Villa Cristina was perfect! Very private territory not far from Malia city center, with nice small garden, lots of place for sunbathing and inside villa. Nice spot to investigate the eastern part of the island, come and chill in the evenings and mornings. Argirakis Giannis was very helpful, providing all needed information and helped us in tricky situation. So we are very happy to be guest in Villa Cristina and will definetly live there again when coming the next time.

Very nice apartment in a great location. Bakery, supermarket and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. We felt very comfortable. George was very friendly and helpful. We would come back anytime
