Beachfront holiday rentals in Kato Gouves

we had a great week at Maria's place. The covered terrace is the most beautiful room in the house with a magnificent view of the sea. The beach is less than 5 minutes' walk away, but beware, for people who have difficulty walking, the slope is rather steep to climb. Maria is very responsive and responds very quickly to messages. Agia Pelagia remains a small seaside resort very well located to visit the north of the island. Beautiful discovery

Very nice place, as described by the owner.

Amazing place to stay and Jekaterina is the BEST host! She was so attentive to our needs and made such fantastic recommendations everyday, which made our stay even better. Thank you Jekaterina! We hope to see you again soon!

Had a great time here! Vasilis was very accommodating and the place came as expected. Clean, great views of the water, and centrally located to the shops and restaurants in town. Highly recommend!

The apartment was ideally located, very close to the beach and restaurants, but we were not disturbed by any noise whatsoever. Plenty of space for a couple and a small child. The outdoor terrace has a good view of the sea. Magdalena was the perfect host, arranging transport to and from the airport and quickly responded to any questions we had. We basically had a very good time and will hopefully return in the future.

This quaint AirBnB was not only comfortable but also a stone’s throw away from the beach. We felt right at home and enjoyed every moment - would totally recommend! (Side note: Crete is a gorgeous but absolutely HUGE island, if you want to get around easily and visit other beaches you should definitely hire a car) 🇬🇷

Stella’s place was really great. Very pretty and welcoming. Thank you.

Excellent stay with Myron who offered to pick us up from the airport. In less than 20 minutes we were at the destination with a warm welcome and very useful information. The accommodation, in all respects consistent with the photos and description, is ideal for two, everything is very well thought out. It is located 100m from the beach and the Havana Beach Bar (which offers free sunbeds if you take a drink and good homemade dishes) and several tavernas offering traditional Cretan cuisine at an excellent value for money. The bus stop to Heraklion is 200m away and takes you there in about thirty minutes depending on traffic, there is also an express bus to the Palais de Cnossos. We recommend 100%.

The villa is good, but not very clean and not maintained very well (door handle broke, the shower hole was clogged). The pool is great and shared with the other condo's and villa. There wasnt a problem with the host, but he doesnt go the further step to communicate with you. The communication is very basic. The location is ok, about 20 minutes walk from the main port, 3 minutes walk from the nearest beach, but the beach is not very nice. The only main problem is that the double beds are small, and not very comfortable for 2 adults. Over-all for the price, this place is good.

The stay was good, private and secluded. All listed amenities were present. Pool and BBQ were crucial to us, also worth to mention: there is an A/C unit in each room. Wifi was perfectly stable. You can hear the road noises, but it is manageable, it didn't affect our experience.

We will miss it. The house and pool were great. We had a wonderful time there. We also took the cats to our hearts right away.❤️ In 2 years we'll be back.

Had a great stay! Thank you for your warm hosting, as well as your responsiveness and flexibility. The Airbnb is very well located: about 20-25 min from Heraklion by car and 10 min from the center of Hersonissos. Not having a vehicle, I got around by bus or taxi. There is a stop right in front of the accommodation (at the Zorbas Village Hotel) or another stop about 15-20 minutes walk. It is better to have a car to get around, go shopping because the Airbnb is a little out of the way, there is no hypermarket nearby on foot, it is a tourist area with many hotels, the molo café opposite offers free deckchairs. The location is very nice and safe, there are a lot of buses, taxis, cars but it's not too disturbing. The sea is right across the street, not even 2 minutes away, the view from the garden is great (of the sea and the mountains). The accommodation is comfortable and perfect for one or two people. I would definitely stay again.

Great weeks stay, the little villa was perfect for us. The resort of Bali was just waking up after the winter season so only one beach bar restaurant open and then the supermarkets and a restaurant on the main strip. We therefore had lunch out and ate in / cooked most evenings. Mini pool we paid extra to be heated (12/20April) and prob wasn’t worth it as we spent the days on the beach. The villa itself is beautifully decorated and very modern, baths in the bedrooms were only used for towels and swimwear to hang over! Etouri were very responsive in assisting with transfers. Holiday was very relaxing and very chilled.

What a gem! This villa in Agia Pelagia is the perfect getaway. You get the best of both worlds: the privacy and comfort of a fully equipped villa with stunning views, just a short walk from one of the best beaches in the area. The villa is thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need — whether you're staying for a few days or a longer vacation with kids. The showers are excellent (especially the one on the top floor), with strong water pressure and hot water available all day. The pool is a real highlight — private, clean, and super relaxing. And if you're renting a car, there's convenient private parking included. Fanis is a true superhost — responsive, helpful, and welcoming. We absolutely loved our stay and are already planning to return next year!

The Hilltop Villas are exactly as shown in the photos. Modern facility, tip-top maintained. Very attentive hosts. Giannis and his mother Anna were very attentive and extremely helpful. We liked staying with them very much!

We had a wonderful stay at Dimitrios’ house in Lygaria! The home is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The view from the balcony is breathtaking, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. The location is ideal: peaceful and quiet, yet just a short walk to the beach and local tavernas. Dimitrios was an exceptional host, welcoming, responsive, and full of helpful tips to make our stay even better. One thing to note is that there are sound monitors inside the house. We’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing escape in Crete.

Great! Go for it! The accommodation: Wow! Clean, cozy, comfort. A magnificent terrace with a private jacuzzi that we enjoyed a lot and a breathtaking view of the small port. A kitchen with everything you need (fridge, dishes, cutlery, etc.). 2 beautiful bathrooms with everything you need (towels, products, etc.). Comfortable rooms. A living room with Netflix, for those who want to relax a little in the evening. The welcome: Wow! Harry was waiting for us with a smile, despite our delay (plane, car rental, the vagaries of travel🤣). On site a lot of things to start our vacation well: fruit, cold cuts, bread, water, coke and lunch (jams, honey, coffee...) The big plus: Thanks to Harry for his good advice (places to visit, restaurants, taverns, beaches...) and his constant availability and speed to respond during our stay. The place: Very nice port, a little noisy and lively in the evening. A good start to travel.

We had a very nice time in Crete and in Marina's place! There were two of us with a child. In this respect, it was very convenient that Stalida beach is only a few hundred meters away on foot. The three of us could sleep well there and have breakfast on the terrace in the morning. We didn't cook - little elaborate food would have been possible. Parking is free directly on the street. The apartment is lovingly and nicely decorated and it was very clean. Communication with Marina is quick and easy. Arrival also possible with code. So happy to come back, warm recommendation. Thanks!

New apartment clean and full of comfort by the sea, great and quiet location

amazing stay and we enjoyed the welcome gifts. thank you again for a great stay!

George & Lina looked after us from the moment we arrived. The guest house is in the perfect location has everything that you need to live comfortably. Set in beautiful gardens and so close to numerous beautiful beaches. The hospitality we were shown is just amazing and we are so grateful to have been looked after so well. Any issues or questions both George & Lina were always happy to help. Fantastic, caring hosts and friends for life. We look forward to returning. Carol & Kerry

I have nothing negative to say - wonderful beach loft and a very nice terrace. Very good host!

Great value and right on the beach. Beware mosquitos but overall happy with our stay!

Kostas is an impeccable host, he gave us his oil and wine, the house is spacious, clean, with a nice outdoor area, close to a sandy beach, shops, bars and restaurants, let him advise you.
