Host friendly and responsive. Safety box could not be used as no key and there was no barbecue grill as advertised at booking. Local management team were responsive to my query re the above but confirmed not available. Key issue was noise and dust from major renovation of supermarket opposite.

This was a good apartment in a good location. We enjoyed the less busy Kalyves but was close enough to visit Chania and western parts of the island. The apartment was comfortable. Check in was easy and the hosts kindly accommodated an early check in for us. The only downsides were that parking was limited and it was unclear where to park when there was none. There were not a lot of supplies onsite - we did have to buy laundry detergent for example, just to do 2 loads which is unfortunate (some VRBOs leave leftovers from guests but my sense was this one doesn’t). It was also quite loud while we were there but there was construction happening across the street so was probably just circumstance.We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

The view was fabulous and it was a quick walk to the beach. It was very clean and had everything we needed plus the supermarket across the road. The Taverna just to the east was excellent, we went there twice. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful apartment with us!Sharon

Brilliant location as it has a direct access to the beach, with a taverna next door and a supermarket on the other side of the road. It makes the stay really relaxing when it comes to feeding a family . Also charming Chania is 30 min drive away and if you don't feel like driving anywhere - a lovely authentic village Kalives is 20 min walk away. There is an Archeological site 15 min drive away and Chania has a waterpark and karting for those not interested in history. The property is clean and well equipped, excellent for a relaxing holiday on Crete.

Just lovely

Clean, convenient and met all our needs. A great place to stay with way access to supermarket, the sea and the village of Kalyves. Everyone we met was kind and friendly and helpful… even during the power outage. We felt part of the family. There are some steep steps so if you struggle with that… maybe not the most perfect place but for us it was perfect. Would highly recommend.

Beach appartment stay in Beautiful Crete

This is an appartment which is very well situated in a beautiful part of Crete. It is in the quieter end of Kalyves close enough to the sea to nip down for an early morning swim. It is opposite the supermarket and a few minutes walk from some very recommended tavernas. Beach with brollies are a few minutes away as is a bus stop taking you to Chania town. A balcony looks over the sea for morning and evening moments of loveliness. Would definitely return.

Lovely stay in Kalyves

The apartment is exactly as described on the website, the location is perfect with the beach just a few steps away, some lovely tavernas a couple of minutes away and then the centre of Kalyves with more tavernas and main beach about 10 minutes walk by the sea. The 2 bedrooms are both a decent size with plenty of storage space and are on the ground floor, the kitchen and living room on the first floor are really bright and airy with a nice balcony overlooking the sea. One thing on the bathrooms that would make it even better is to have a shower curtain or screen on the upstairs bathroom so there are then 2 usable showers rather than a shower and a bath. The information we received from Christine and John was excellent and email response was always really prompt. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property, we travelled as a couple with my mum and found everything to be spot on.
