Sea-esta Beach House, Beachfront Residence & BBQ
*The Private Seafront Retreat is part of the Elite ThinkVilla collection — a curated portfolio of exceptional residences distinguished by 24/7 concierge support, tailored experiences and authentic cultural character. The property proudly holds the ThinkVilla Seal of Approval, recognissing its distinctive location, refined design and elevated hospitality standards.
Introducing Sea-esta Beach House Imagine waking to the gentle call of gulls and uninterrupted views across the crystalline waters of Bali Bay. Sea-esta Beach House offers a rare privilege — to reside quite literally at the water’s edge, where sea-salted air drifts through open doors and the horizon becomes part of your everyday living. Designed for families and gatherings of friends, the residence unfolds across two thoughtfully arranged floors. Mornings begin beneath crisp linens, gazing out toward the endless blue. Days are spent swimming just steps from your door, canoeing along the coastline, or strolling into the village centre for leisurely seaside lunches. Afternoons invite quiet moments — a book on the sun terrace, music flowing softly from the Marshall speaker, or shared conversations in the open-plan living space. As sunset casts golden reflections across the bay, evenings transition into al fresco suppers by the gas BBQ, glasses gently clinking under a canopy of stars.

*********************************************************************************** Location Overview - Discover Bali Village
TO SEE: Once a quaint fishing village, Bali has evolved into a charming coastal destination, perched above its small harbour and embraced by both sea and mountains. The village offers a harmonious blend of natural beauty and relaxed island life, with calm, clear waters and sheltered sandy coves ideal for families. Scenic coastal walks, rugged rock formations, and nearby caves provide endless opportunities for exploration, while daily boat excursions from the harbour allow guests to admire Crete’s striking northern coastline.
TO DINE: Bali is celebrated for its vibrant culinary scene, from traditional seaside tavernas and family-run cafés to contemporary restaurants serving fresh seafood, locally sourced olive oil, and seasonal Cretan specialties. Guests can enjoy relaxed breakfasts, casual lunches, or romantic dinners overlooking the harbour, while village bakeries, wine bars, and cafés add authentic local flavor to every visit.
TO EXPLORE: The surrounding region invites discovery at every turn. Four sandy, sheltered beaches offer safe swimming and water sports, while inland drives reveal traditional villages, historic monasteries, and olive groves. Regular bus services connect Bali with Heraklion and Rethymno, while Rethymno Old Town, with its Venetian architecture and atmospheric harbour, is just a short drive away. Bali’s location makes it a perfect base for exploring both central and western Crete while returning each day to the calm rhythm of the seaside.

Fantastic place
We have stayed at the Sea- esta beach 3 times and it never changes .It is spacious and the veranda is big and well equipped for outside dining. The beds are very comfortable with good quality pillows and bedding. The beach is on your doorstep the restaurants are friendly and typical Cretan but what makes it so special are the people they go above and beyond to make your holiday special. We will definitely be returning .Thank you Valia for the excellent service you gave us. Regards Sue,Lud,Gill and John

Great Beach Holiday Home
This was a 2 storey flat very close to a lovely beach with 3 good tavernas nearby. The accommodation was very comfortable and we had superb views of the beach and harbour. Only two things to be aware of -
1. the spiral staircase would not be suitable for anyone with mobility difficulties.
2. It is over a bar which plays music all day until 3 or 4am. So not ideal for light sleepers. You and reduce noise by keeping windows and shutters closed at night and using the air conditioning

Perfect
Perfect location and resort and the property had absolutely everything we needed and more. Good communication with everyone involved in the rental process. Cannot praise it enough really and Bali is a beautiful place. The only thing I would say is that Bali has steep hills and the spiral staircase in the apartment might be tricky for some.

Idyllic half term
As a family of 5 we found the property perfect. Plenty of space both inside and out (two generous balconies). The property was well equipped. We arrived at about 1am after a late flight and were met and welcomed on arrival. A perfect holiday!

Cosy apartment in a top location
The duplex apartment is very mice and functional. It is perfectly located, 10 meters from the beach with plenty of activities if needed (sailing, fishing trips,...), 50 meters from a traditional little port and close to a few nice tavernas . This is a perfect place for a family with small children who wants to do everything by foot and enjoy the sea while being able to go home for naps and other. Valia has been extremely accommodating and helpful!! Excellent experience!!!!

Beautiful house great location
Impressed with the house which was right on a beautiful beach. We had everything we needed on our door step.
We were delighted when the manager said we could stay a bit longer on our final day, but then we were let down at the last minute as a friend of the owner wanted to use the house. This made things difficult as we couldn’t change taxi times so were left homeless for four hours with three children. So warning to others if you do get the offer of an extension be careful not to change plans, as the owner may let the house to a friend again and put you out on the street!!!

Perfect house but on a noisy place
The house is perfect: spacious, clean, well equipped in the heart of Bali Village and on the Bali harbour beach. The host is very responsive (repair AC) and kind understanding.
BUT it is not a quiet and relaxing place at night due to the music from the bar below, too loud during all the nights (from 9 p.m to 2 a.m, hard for sleeping) despite our requests to the bar owner. It's too bad.

Schöne Aussicht
Wir haben die Zeit absolut genossen. Näher am Strand kann es kaum noch sein. Die Aussicht von der Terasse ist ja traumhaft. REstaurants, Cafes, Läden - alles in der Nähe, ein nächster gut sortierter Supermarkt gibt es allerdings in Rethimno.
Was nicht so schön war, ist die unmittelbare Nähe von zwei Cafes - eins davon im Erdgeschoss des Hauses. Abends zwischen 21:00 und 24:00 arbeiten sie als Bar mit lauter Music. Vor Mitternacht kann man nicht wirklich schlafen, auch mit geschlossenen FEnstern/Türen. Der Cafebesitzer war jedoch sehr freundlich und hat wirklich Rücksicht genommen und manchmal schon vor Mitternacht zugemacht.
Jedoch, wer Ruhe, vor allem abends, sucht, ist die Wohnung nicht zu empfehlen.

Gezinsvakantie
Waren er met 7 volw. vanaf 8 juli 10 dagen lang.
Super mooi huis van alle gemakken voorzien en voldoende plek.
Mooie slaapkamers en badkamer. Het huis is stijlvol ingericht.
Mooi groot terras met bbq.
Fijne keuken met voldoende keukengerei en ook van alle gemakken voorzien. Misschien handig om een krukje te plaatsen voor de pannen en glazen te pakken.
