Beachfront holiday rentals in Kalyves

Perfect location, 20m to the beach, many restaurants, friendly people, parking spot bit tricky but never more than 200m. Communication perfect, very proactive. Exactly as the pictures shows.

The apartment is as it appears in the photos, the terrace is huge, very cool, comfortable for breakfast, lunch or dinner watching the sea. Costas was always available, and left us a basket of fruit, muffins and chocolates. The area is fantastic to spend a few days and get to know part of the island. It is a tourist area but very quiet and comfortable, next to the beautiful town of Chania, which is wonderful and from the apartment you can walk a beautiful one-hour walk. By car it is less than 10 minutes and by bus that stops next to the house too. Everything was very comfortable. The beach is also nice and the winged one is very beautiful.

We spent the most lovely time at Nikos place with our baby and friends. The villa is located directly by the sea with a spectacular view. We enjoyed really enjoyed our breakfasts watching the waves and listening to the ocean so much. The place is very quiet and private. Nikos is the most welcoming host and gave us great directions for the island. We can definitely recommend staying there! Thank you so much for having us.

Words and photos cannot describe the beauty of this place. We had an absolutely magical visit. The home is comfortable and very clean and everything you need in the kitchen. Stella was the perfect host. She was so kind and thought of everything you might need. Make sure to follow her recommendations for restaurants as they were amazing. Thank you for the delicious homemade treats and a wonderful and relaxing vacation. We look forward to our return.

We stayed at this house for the second time. It is a very good equipped house that beautifully located very close to the beach

The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. The place was super clean and everything well maintained. Just felt right at home with an amazing view, great beds and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Alkis was an amazing host! He went above and beyond with helpful directions and recommendations. Daily check-ins and lots of cleaning via whats app, to ensure we were happy. He even helped navigate the streets by piloting us through some closed roads when we went anywhere, many thanks Alkis.

Close to the beach. Parking available. Apartment has everything you might need. Helpful landlord. Everything within walking distance, car is only needed for day trips. Nice toys for the kids. The only downside is that it is next to a busy road with the necessary noise.

The place is so beautiful and clean. The view from the outdoors is nice and peaceful. The scene of sheep eating grass multiple times a day in a small field under the pool is wonderful. (Photo first house) Maria, who showed us around, is so kind and nice.

Javi’s place is perfect. It’s clean, the kitchen is well stocked, and having the pool after a long day at the beach, was divine. The apartment is only a few meters away from the beach and wonderful restaurants. Truly one of our best airbnb experiences which we hope to repeat over and over again.

Beautiful well equipped house in a perfect location within easy walking distance of a supermarket, beach and restaurants. What makes this house absolutely exceptional is the host, Stavros. He couldn’t have been more welcoming, meeting us with some very welcoming groceries including his homemade wine and olive oil. We will absolutely be back. Thank you Stavros for making our stay so perfect.

So many emotions and so much gratitude that it’s hard to find the words… but I’ll try! The villa’s name says it all - What a View Villa! The breathtaking sea views, the sound of the waves, and the scents from the terraces and pool…. you just simply have to come and feel it yourself!😉 Often Airbnb homes are nice but lack soul. NOT THIS ONE! Everything inside and out is spotless, stylish, cozy, and full of heart. The moment you open the door, you feel truly at home. We stayed as a family of 6 with kids, and everyone had plenty of space and we instantly fell in love with place And the biggest treasure here is Zoi herself. What a Host! (Yes, with a capital H!) She made sure every detail was perfect and helped us even with personal matters, like a own family member would. Zoi, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We will never forget your kindness, care, and generosity.❤️❤️❤️ I will wholeheartedly recommend this villa and wonderful Host to all my friends, family, and anyone visiting Cr

Lovely clean modern apartment. Grounds and pool are kept very nicely, and owners are very kind and helpful. A car is a must to get around. Closest supermarket is 3 minutes drive up the road, closest beach is 3 mins drive down the road! Large local sandy beach with clear water and a few fish. Plenty of beach bars. Snorkeling beaches with more sea life also nearby. Beautiful sunsets over the mountains that could be enjoyed from the front balcony. Rear balcony overlooked the pool but also had a sea view. Air conditioning worked well. There are small waterfalls within 10 mins drive, and a freshwater lake also within 10mins drive where you can swim and hire pedalos amongst the mountains. Also managed a trip to Knossos Palace (approx 90mins drive). We had a wonderful stay and would recommend to others.

Beautiful accommodation, tastefully decorated, a great view of the sea, quiet, 5 minutes from a small cove on foot. Leonidas is very friendly, with lots of great recommendations (restaurant, destination, activities) We'll be happy to go back! Thank you Leonidas :-)

We had a wonderful warm welcome from Athina & her husband when we arrived , they couldn’t have been more accommodating. The villa was fabulous & very clean. The views from the villa were stunning and the whole area is absolutely beautiful, with 1 local restaurant & a small beach just a 5 minute walk away, along the seaside. It’s a very quiet area. It is less than a 30 minute drive to Chania town where there is lots to see and do. We didn’t find local taxis very easy to come by so I would recommend renting a car to get around during your stay, otherwise you are paying double the average price for private company/ prebooked taxis & getting food ect delivered to the villa , there is a nice supermarket nearby where you can get your groceries for cooking yourself, but it is not very walkable. Overall we really enjoyed our time in Chania and would definitely return in the future. Thank you to Athina and her colleagues for being so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.

We had 3 wonderful weeks at Mary’s Villas #1 with our two boys, 12&13. We were looking for privacy, quite and a great beach. We found it all with this villa. The location is great, the pool was pristine and the perfect temperature. The villa is just steps away from a beautiful private beach with crystal clear water. We snorkeled daily for hours. The highlight of the villa is the wonderful support of Luby, who was always available with great tips and recommendations. She cleaned the villa every 2-3 days which was perfect and she worked around our schedule so we never felt interrupted. There is a good taverna right next to the villa but unfortunately the wine isn’t drinkable. We only learned at the end of the trip that we could have brought our own. There is a supermarket close by and many great tavernas but you’ll need a car. They are about 10 mins drive away. We highly recommend this villa to couples and families looking for the ultimate in relaxation.

We felt very comfortable. The apartment leaves nothing to be desired. We particularly liked the view of the sea. Everything you need is nearby and in a 30-minute walk along the sea you are in the old town of Rethymno. Special thanks to Pantelis, who took very friendly care of all our concern

Fantastic place to stay, perfect location. took my husband for a flying visit as he has not been here before so went for a place right in the centre of old town by the port. Could not have found a better place, the view out of the bedroom window was lovely. Krisztina was very quick to answer any queries, and really friendly throughtout the conversations. lovely bottle of wine in the fridge what a lovely surprise, sadly was in such a rush to get out and do stuff i forgot it was there until the last morning, next time will make sure i drink it. Took shampoo conditioner and shower gel, didnt need to as that was there as well.brilliant host and amazing time we had there. The appartment was absolutely perfect for a couple, cannot recommend it highly enough. thank you so much Krisztina

The views from this place are beyond breathtaking, especially at sunset! This is an area that is just walking distance from the touristy spot and is very peaceful. My bf was worried about smell and sound being above a restaurant, but there were zero issues. It’s practically sound proof. We sat on the balcony multiple times a day to people watch and listen to the beautiful street performers. We must have missed it in the listing, but please note that this is a home someone lives in. So you don’t have as much storage as you would in an Airbnb dedicated to guests only. We had one closet, two drawers, and could store suitcases under the bed. Not much storage or counter space for our things, but the host did say we could use anything in the house which was nice for cooking our own meals. Highly recommend the brunch and coffee at the Sandbar! Would definitely recommend this spot, especially for couples. The bed is a thick memory foam mattress and was very cozy & comfortable. We slept great!

Absolutely brilliant stay! We spent over 8 nights here and loved every moment. The location is ideal—peaceful yet close to Chania’s vibrant areas, with a lovely quiet beach just 2 minutes away. Plenty of tavernas, mini markets, and local eateries nearby made everything super convenient. Panagiotis is a truly exceptional host—responsive, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. He allowed us to check in early, shared great local tips, and even welcomed us with traditional Cretan snacks. The home has a relaxed, vacation vibe that made us feel at ease right away. Ofcourse has all the amenities! We hired a car, which made exploring Crete and beach hopping effortless. Before we left, Panagiotis surprised us with heartfelt goodbye gifts—a gesture that made us genuinely emotional. We will be definitely back!

Karolina and Jadwiga are very pleasant hosts and the communication between us was always very quick and helpful. Check-in works perfectly. However, Google Maps showed us the neighboring building. However, the accommodation is written outside and accordingly you can find it that way. The accommodation itself is excellent: modern kitchen and bathrooms, beautiful rooms. And the outdoor area with sunbeds, umbrellas, tables, chairs, BBQ areas and beach is phenomenal! The only thing that is a bit disturbing: you are directly on the main road and in the house itself you can still hear this noise well.

A stunning new apartment - spotless, comfortable with all the luxuries of a fine home. Everything is new and it’s decorated beautifully. Quiet too. Amazing location.

We had a wonderful week where the whole family spent time together on the house's lovely patio and on the beach. Fantastic that it was so close! Loved being able to walk in swimwear from the house to the sea and back to the house's outdoor shower, and then relax in the beautiful sun loungers and hammocks in the shade. The small kitchen was equipped with what was needed to cook at home, but many evenings we ate at the tavern, which is five minutes away. Good classic Greek dishes, and although the restaurant does not get the highest rating, it was still very cozy.

Kurt and his wife made the stay even better! Super friendly and very helpful when needed. Cute and cozy getaway stay with the beach only a short walk to along with great restaurants and shops
