Beachfront vacation rentals in Smokvica

The house and the nature around are otherworldly. The house is situated far from any civilization, and we've barely seen any neighbors during our stay, so it's perfect for people tired of the big city. But please note that you need a car in order to move around, since the house is 5 km from the nearest civilization. The house itself has everything you might need in terms of utensils and equipment, but is solar-powered, thus heavy electronics will wear the battery down fast. We were fine with 2 phones and 1 laptop, but it also depends on how sunny it gets during your stay. As to getting there, you also need to plan your trip around the ferry schedule, cause it's the main way to get from the island to the mainland. Zlatko is a great person, helped us get there, and left some treats for us. Totally recommend the experience.

The other reviews are totally accurate. Marinas place was magical. It was the best trip we’ve ever been on and it was the first with our 18 mo daughter. Marina gave us her milk for our baby! Marina was extremely friendly, funny, and had perfect communication. She did our laundry for us too!! (She even removed a tough stain from our baby’s shirt!!). We could not have asked for a better vacation or a better host.

A truly idyllic place to unwind. We had a lovely week of swimming, kayaking and relaxing away from people (the property can only be accessed by boat so it is very peaceful and quiet). The host was very communicative - we can definitely recommend and would love to return to this unique property again!!

Such a wonderful place to stay! The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful, even giving us a lesson on how to cook BBQ properly. They provide kayaks, perfect for exploring the island, and the peaceful surroundings make it an ideal spot to relax. The house is fully equipped with everything you could need. Truly, the most helpful hosts we’ve ever had! 100% recommendation!

We had an amazing six day vacation and would highly recomend for persons who enjoy being close to nature. Accomodation is basic but adequate, food excellent and hosts very polite and heartful. The island is beautiful and peaceful, the surounding waters pristine. We enjoyed long open water swims along the island shores, wetsuits made it very comfortable on the first week of June.

Great host, lovely apartment, it can be a bit noisy if there are more people staying in rooms next to you but overall nice stay and great location. Also very clean! Thanks a lot!

Our family loved this stunningly beautiful house with its enchanting views. Blue water beckons from every window, just steps away. The ever-so-inviting terrace meanders along the back of the house, just above the walkable seawall, which leads to small shops and restaurants a few minutes’ stroll away. The large, open terrace is made for outdoor living, with beautiful views from every angle. There is a private dock area below the seawall walkway; it’s a great place to nap or read and to use as a launch for the paddle boards and kayaks provided by Daro, the host. Daro is incredibly helpful and responsive and answers every inquiry. Our family enjoyed talking to him ( he is on site) over a coffee in the village. He really apoears to enjoy making sure that your stay is the absolute best that he can provide. The house is well situated for local travel: we had easy day trips to local vineyards, Korčula, Split and Dubrovnik by rental car. ….One of our best experiences.

What a fantastic location. Peace and quiet and the beautiful sea. Lovely hospitable hosts. Super friendly and genuine. The BBQd fish they bought us for lunch was the best we had ever had. If you want to get away from it all then this is the place to come. We stayed a week and didn’t use the car once.

I came to spend a few days with my mother in Tafra's accommodation, it was a great Airbnb with an amazing view. The pool and hot tub are a real plus. The accommodation was very clean with everything you need in it We can't wait to go back.

We were a group of 9 people. The location is fantastic. Very quiet and you can go directly from the villa to the sea. The house was very clean and looked as pictured. The kitchen in the house and also the outdoor kitchen were well equipped and had everything you need. We thought the grill and the pizza oven were great. The house is a bit out of the way. There are no restaurants nearby. However, there are plenty of shopping opportunities and they are easily accessible by car. The house is perfect for relaxing vacations.

Amazing, spacious accommodation with a lovely terrace overlooking the beach and close to all the local amenities. Super restaurants within walking distance and good recommendations from the host who were friendly and responsive. We had a fantastic time. Thank you!

We spent our family vacation with Peter. The apartment is very well located with a fantastic view from the terrace. The apartment was equipped with everything you need. Small pool with barbecue facilities and short distance to the sea. We will be happy to come back.

Everything about the house was great. However all local restaurants and bars that were walkable were shut until next year which we didn't expect. Also although their websites say the are open many supermarkets were shut on the Sunday - had we known in advance we would have bought more on the Saturday. These things aside - the house was lovely, clean and everything we wanted.

Our family had a wonderful time at Tanja’s home! With 5 adults and 2 kids under 7, we felt comfortable. The view from the bedrooms and pool were stunning and the pool was perfect! The house is located on the main road but is set up on a hill with lots of steps. We enjoyed exploring the area. There is a walking path just across the street and down the stairs and another up the road where you can park and walk down. A must do for beautiful rock beaches! We explored Gradac which was a short drive up the road - pizza take out, ice cream, a giant swing on the beach, and dinner outside on the water. There is also a Plodines (grocery store) just up the street. The house is about half way between Dubrovnik and Split - just under 2 hrs each way which was perfect for exploring. I suggest checking out Makarska (Riva Resturant!) when heading towards split and Mali Ston (Kapetanova kuća) when heading towards Dubrovnik. Tanja was extremely helpful and such a wonderful host!

Wonderful stay in a quiet location. Perfect views and weather. Pool area had plenty of sun all day round. Hot tub shaded. Great communication with host and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Villa Vito is in a beautiful setting with views over a secluded bay, and surrounded by olive groves. The outside space is thoughtfully designed to create a really peaceful and lovely area. We were there in the penultimate week of May and were very unlucky with the weather. Rain, high winds and chilly nights, although we did have some intermittent sunshine. We used the pool and swam in the sea. Overall we felt that the villa will work really well in better weather, when the outside space will really come into its own and evenings can be spent around the table by the pool, and making use of the outside sofa area. Inside, the downstairs space is rather limited, especially when confined by the weather as it is just an open plan kitchen with a sofa area at one end. It was fine for two but we felt it might be a bit 'tight' for a group of six. Ambroz was a very responsive and helpful host, especially when we had trouble with the door and the hot water, quickly sorting things out for us.

We spent an incredible 6 nights here. The views are out of this world. We loved the easy access to Sveta Nedilja's small but beautiful beach just below the house. The property has so many options for outside seating and lounging, and every corner is as beautiful as the next. We also loved the local restaurant, a 2 minute walk away! Marija is a wonderful, warm and kind host who made us feel so welcome. We cannot recommend this place highly enough!

We felt very comfortable with Antonija and her grandmother. They were very hospitable and everything worked out well with check-in and check-out. The spacious apartment, the terrace and the short way down to the water are just great. The mattresses were great. The kitchen is very well equipped with anything. There was even a sandwich maker and stirrer. You might want to know that the bay and the island at all are very quiet (we had a teenager with us, for which it was too little action, but well :) If you are there about Maria Ascension, you should know that there is a kind of village festival there and that went until 4 o'clock tomorrow with very loud frontal sound. But as I said, otherwise super quiet and very nice area. We recommend doing a big shopping for groceries on the mainland. On the island you pay more for everything. We had a nice time at Antonija's and can only recommend the apartment.

This was one of the most awesome locations we have ever stayed at. It is right on the water and by right on the water I mean that the water laps your feet the moment you walk outside. It is also perfectly situated in town within walking distance of everything including the best beaches.

Exactly what we were hoping for. Relaxing, comfortable and private, surrounded by nature and few steps from the beautiful Adriatic. Grano was a wonderful host, warm, kind and super easy to communicate with. Thank you, Grano!

Heaven on earth. we loved every minute of our stay, from our first view of the mountains and oceans to the peaceful tranquility of the area. Wow! Just Wow 👌 The property is clean, spacious and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Frano was a wonderful host, always responsive, but left you to your privacy during your stay. An amazing place which will will certainly return to. I will miss our morning swims in the sea from the small deck below the house and our afternoons lying on the sunbeds in such a peaceful location. a wonderful island and ideal place to explore from. You will need a car, and Frano kindly helped us with this. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer than our three nights. We'll be back, for sure.

What a beautiful place in a beautiful setting. We were hoping to be in a location that was away from the hustle and bustle, but still conveniently located to shops and restaurants. This place was just that! The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy meals on the terrace overlooking the water. It is walking distance to a market and the best restaurants in Lombarda. Our family of four (two adult children) had plenty of space to spread out. Marthe was very responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great time at Milica's: she is very kind and attentive to her tenants! The accommodation is comfortable and what an exceptional view :-D The location is very beautiful, quiet but it is a little far from the attractive places of the island so don't be afraid to drive a little to get there ;-) But it's worth it once you get there!!!

Wow! This was a special trip for my 50th birthday, and it exceeded every expectation. Danko was the perfect host - meeting and accompanying us to the property in person, making us feel comfortable and welcome, even providing some fresh fish he’d caught himself! He was incredibly helpful and quick to respond to any messages, but otherwise left us in peace to explore and relax on our own. The house and bay are absolutely gorgeous - exactly as pictured. Decor is simple, stylish, and good quality, with the bathroom and outdoor areas being particularly lovely. We swam every day in clear, turquoise waters, amid some of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen. Vela Luka is charming and laidback with a large supermarket (Tommy) on the edge of town which had everything we needed. I’d also highly recommend Jerolim for local souvenirs of olive oil and handmade soap. All in all, this was a dream holiday and we can’t wait to go back. Hvala, Danko! :)
