Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Skiathos

Benny was great at getting in touch and helping with questions before we traveled. On arrival, Benny had told us we would be met at the airport and given guidance on how to get to the property which all went smoothly. The property was in an amazing location, and was generally clean and tidy, with everything working. The property is fairly basic and functional , but we didn’t mind that. Some updates of beach chairs, and a few other tweaks wouldn’t go amiss. Benny’s advice about car hire and restaurants was extremely helpful. Both he and Mike were in touch during our stay to offer help if it was needed. On checking out, we couldn’t locate the bin area so didn’t quite know where to leave the rubbish. We would definitely consider coming back as overall, the balance of location, spec of the property and the price were spot on for our family holiday in late May. Many thanks to Benny, Mike and Jacques for their part in our wonderful family holiday.

We had a great time at the island. The apartment was clean and tidy. The landlords had the apartment cleaned after three days of stay and brought us, as it got a little colder, a thick blanket past, very pleasant. The landlord was very friendly and accommodating and took good care of us. The only deductions would be the very low blankets, my partner has constantly hit his head😅. The equipment of the kitchen also leaves something to be desired, such as cutting board and a sharp knife. Otherwise, all in all very pleasant apartment in a somewhat secluded and rugged location. We will be happy to come back! ☺️

The hosts Mrs. Maria and Mr. Dimitris were very helpful at all times. They were extremely friendly and polite. Dimitris picked me up from the bus stop on the day of arrival. Maria was waiting in the apartment with a great cake. She also provided me with a bag of Greek mocha coffee. This allowed me to make my own coffee every day. The apartment is a 5-minute walk from the beach. It is well equipped. Supermarket and taverns within walking distance. The hosts gave me good tips for excursions. On the day of departure, Mr. Dimitris made sure that I was picked up by the taxi on time. I enjoyed my 5-day stay here very much and I am very grateful to the hosts for that!

We really appreciated Kim's recommendations and tried both her taverna picks. Both excellent.

We rented the place for a weekend and it was perfect. Communication was great and the apartment very clean. We recommend this place for a weekend without hesitation.

We had a very good stay at Steve and Fiona’s place. They were kind, helpful, and flexible, especially with the check-in process, which made everything much easier. They even waited for us after our flight to personally show us the way to the accommodation, which we really appreciated. The place was clean and just as described. Future guests should note that parking isn’t right at the property because of the steep, rocky road, so there’s a short walk involved. That said, Steve and Fiona kindly helped us with our luggage. The location has lovely views, and the neighborhood is quite peaceful, with just the occasional sound of a barking dog. Overall, a pleasant and comfortable experience.

I can definitely recommend this location. It was clean, private, calm, on the countryside and had almost everything you need (kitchen, WiFi, terrace, barbecue place, lemons and grapes on the trees in the garden). Maria is changing the sheets once a week and is cleaning up twice a week. You should only be aware of animal noises (roosters, sheep, dogs, pheasants...) :-) - but this is charming! The next very nice beach and the bus station are about 20 min. by foot, I can recommend a vehicle to go to more far away beaches etc. Maria and her daughter are very friendly and helpful, communication was uncomplicated. Thank you for a very relaxing holiday!

super super super great view you almost don't know whether to go out to eat the location is so great

We had a great stay. Alexandros was super friendly, always easily accessible and gave us great tips for activities. The apartment has a great terrace and in the low season it is wonderfully quiet here. Glad to come back!

Rania is a super host , she met up with us on arrival and showed us to the apartment which otherwise would be hard to find as it is tucked away in a lovely quiet location, ideal for us as . Car or motorcycle is considered essential . The apartment has a comfortable bed and everything you need for a week or two. When we asked for extra pillows for the bed they were provided . Cleaning and bed sheets were changed every other day which was excellent service. Upon our request we were allowed a later check - out in the afternoon which made the travel arrangements smooth . I would highly recommend this apartment .

The studio apartment is located in a secluded and quiet spot among the trees. It's in a beautiful building and it's a 7 minute drive to the centre of Skopelos. It has an amazing beach only a 5 minute drive from there. Everything was clean and tidy and the host was super responsive. Only a couple of things were odd but they didn't lessen our experience. Even though there's a box for the key, we met with Rania's sister to guide us to the place which was a sweet, but unnecessary touch. During the check out instructions they asked us to remove all the rubbish ourselves, and then to also place all our towels in a box. I found it weird that there's a cleaning fee but we still had to remove the trash ourselves.

We had a wonderful stay in Skiathos! The host was fantastic — very welcoming and incredibly helpful throughout our visit. The apartment, a cosy basement space, was spotless and well-equipped with everything we needed. The real highlight was the stunning garden overlooking the Aegean Sea — absolutely breathtaking and the perfect place to relax. We truly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be coming back. 5 stars!

Rania and the accomodation is a true hidden gem. Never on Airbnb have we had such a welcoming, friendly and generous hosts, just like we’ve never seen an apartment looking so clean and well taken care of, including the amazing garden. Whenever we needed help, instructions or even food, Rania was always there to assist us with a smile on her face and as she says- it was her pleasure. She even gave us homemade food, fruit&vegetables from her garden and fresh water. However keep in mind the apartment is quite far from the main road so we definitely recommend renting a car or a motorcycle, the path is well accessible for good drivers. The surroundings are very quiet and there is a lot of options if you want to sit in the garden or sunbathe. We do want to recommend Rania’s accommodation to anyone considering it, as it truly was a perfect experience and felt more like visiting our own family in the countryside. It definitely was not our last stay. Thank you Rania!

One of my best Airbnb experiences so far! Alexandros's hospitality was amazing—he drove us from the port to the studio, gave us helpful tips about the island, and was very responsive by text... and that's just part of it! Not to mention, the room was super clean and well equipped. Highly recommended!

Lovely and clean apartment. The host and her husband were extremely friendly and helpful especially when the taxi dropped us at the wrong location, even picking us up in their own car. Easy to access the property once inside and walking distance from the beach and town.

While Paris' apartments do not boast a swimming pool it has easy access to one of the most beautiful and secluded beaches on Skiathos. The view from the apartments is fabulous. Beach Tavernas, bus stop, Water Taxi to town and convenience stores are all within walking distance. The walk around the peninsula from Paris' place is one of the most stunning in Greece. Given notice, Paris will supply you with groceries or, if you want, he will cook for you. He prepared Greek chicken, roast potatoes and Greek salad for us on the day we arrived. There was even a bottle of wine. We will definitely be going back, if not again this year, then next year.

Stathis was a great host! He greeted us very friendly and had many recommendations for us. The apartment is very good located and very nice. Stathis also has a great restaurant which is definitely worth going to. Overall we had an amazing time and he is a very welcoming host.

The accommodation is absolutely amazing! In the perfect location right in the town with a view of the beautiful garden and ocean. The host Magda is so sweet and responsive! Skopelos is so beautiful and we were so thankful to have Magda as a host! Can’t wait to go back!

We chose this place due to its proximity to the port area as we were leaving early 9n the last day also, the restaurant and bar area were within walking distance. The property is well maintained we were provided clear instructions of where to meet the host who then walked us through the apartment. All the amenities were there as described, would recommend to those who are looking for a place close to the pet and bar / restaurant area.

The stay at Machi's was fabulous. The apartment has a spacious balcony overlooking the harbor, very nice and quiet. The service and cleanliness were impeccable, Machi cleaned the room every day and with great discretion. I recommend this place for the view and for the flexibility and availability of the owner.

What a pleasure to be able to spend 6 nights in this fantastic accommodation. The amenities are perfect and the view is indescribable. I immediately felt very comfortable and at home. The beach is only accessible via a short trail and you are greeted by paradise. There are three taverns, a mini-market, a great snack bar - all within walking distance! Best of all, if you want to see more, you can explore the island for a €3 bus fee, station no. 21 is only 100 m from the property. I was also so warmly welcomed and said goodbye, I would therefore travel there again and again! Many thanks - also for the wonderful sunrises!

Maria is absolutely lovely! We had such a wonderful time in her airbnb, she was really sweet - wishing us a great trip and rest of our summer. She had great recommendations when it came to us wanting to rent a boat and her Mum was great, making sure we were stocked on clean towels, etc. Quick response time and the apartment was just as described - we had sunny morning breakfast on the balcony everyday!

Martin and Lisa are a very nice, likeable couple. Very humorous and if you have any questions, they are happy to help. Unfortunately, we had a motorcycle accident after four days and had to cancel the vacation. Martin and Lisa helped us so much, we were all very sad. We'd love to come back. It would have been such a nice vacation, the apartment is beautifully located in nature, very quiet, super relaxed and decelerating. For those seeking peace, a really very pleasant location with a great owner couple. Dear Lisa, dear Martin, thanks again for everything.

Our stay at Villa Marina on Skiathos was beyond all our expectations. Marina and her mother Morfo were incredibly accommodating, allowing us to extend our stay. Thank you for everything! The accommodation is clean, tidy, and has everything you need. The nights spent on the balcony with a view of the sea were unforgettable. The villa is in an ideal location, so all the beaches, both north and south of the island, are close by. I highly recommend this place to everyone, and in the future, it will be the only accommodation I choose when returning to Skiathos.
