Beachfront holiday rentals in Souda beach

Beautiful, clean, and very responsive. The stay was as advertised. This home is well maintained, comfortable , and close to everything.

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.

Beautiful place, great for families. Lots of toys and even a potty for the kids! Cleaner came mid week which was not necessary but so great. Beach is a 3 min walk. Really need a car to get there which was fine for us! Thanks for everything.

Our host was so obliging and welcoming. The house was amazing and had everything you could need down to the little details. The location was a fantastic base for exploring. Definitely will stay again.

5* place 5* location 5* communication.

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!

Great place. Great location. Kitchen was a bit small for the size of the space, but very workable. Air conditioning on the first level for the common space didn’t work (we notified the owner but were told we were wrong - we weren’t). But that didn’t really affect our stay. If the weather was hotter I could see it being an issue. But overall, we really enjoyed the rental.

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.

Amazing view and access to an almost private bay. Relaxing location for people who like to be in a quiet place.

We had a very nice time. The place is clean, very well equipped and the grounds nice too. The small playground was the highlight of the 3 families who were there with us and our son also had a lot of fun. Manolis is super nice and responds to problems and questions within minutes. His parents live on the property, also speak English and have warmly welcomed us and also brought delicious feta bags over one evening. The property is 1 minute by car from the extensive beach. However, we did not walk on the street with a small child. It didn't bother us any further, but I still want to mention it: The house sits next to a street. Although this is not very busy, you can hear the cars, especially when sitting on the terrace. In the apartment itself it was no problem.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful, well-kept, and lovingly furnished place. Everything you need is there. The host was super friendly and gave us some good recommendations for restaurants and the surrounding area. Upon arrival, the fridge was already stocked with drinks, fruit, and other items, so there was no need to go shopping on the day of our arrival. It was a perfect stay, and we would love to come back.

Incredible stay, stunning villa, lovely to walk into the little town, and a brand new restaurant opened called ‘Dusk’ a few minutes walk away which was 11/10. We adored the hot tub, luxury, all the little touches. Juicer for fresh orange juice and funky toaster. Thank you Crete is exquisite 💖💖💖

We had a wonderful week at Filippo's villa. The villa itself was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, less than a minute walk to lots of great tavernas and cafes, and the beach. Plakias is a great place from which to explore the beautiful surrounding area, beaches, gorges etc. Fillippos was available all the time for help with anything, including advice about the area. I would definitely recommend this villa and Plakias in general.

The villa is lovely and has everything you need for a holiday. Clean and well maintained. There was extra cleaning during the week. Great view of the sea and the mountains. The cars passing on the main road, which is 100m below the villa, create a slight noise, but it is not unbearable. Maria is a great host and despite the late evening time of arrival she was waiting for us with a smile. She took care of us all the time and gave us valuable advice. There was a problem with the dishwasher, which was fixed the next day as soon as I informed Maria. We had a great week and would come back again.

This Airbnb is fantastic! The location could not be better and the host was very attentive and had great communication. The driver was punctual and flexible . We absolutely loved our stay here !

High-quality bed mattresses — there was an earthquake and my friend slept through it I highly recommend this stunning villa to anyone looking for a relaxing, quality getaway with their loved ones. It’s conveniently located halfway between Heraklion and Chania (about an hour’s drive to each), it features a pool overlooking the ocean, and each room has its own bathroom and a balcony furnished with a coffee table and chairs or a sofa — perfect for enjoying the sunrise or sunset with a cup of coffee! PS: the beds were so incredibly comfortable that during an actual earthquake on our last night, my friend didn’t even feel the earth shake lol.

We would stay at Olga’s place again. Olga was very quick to respond and accommodating.

A very nice accommodation with everything you need and a view of the beach☺️

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

Nice apartment, about 30 m to the (rocky) "private" beach with sun loungers. Sandy beach to the left of the apartment, about 50 m away. Quiet environment, good taverns nearby, also shopping. Vasili always responded quickly to questions, warm welcome and farewell by the mother-in-law - a fruit basket (own oranges), pastries and own honey was ready at reception, water (and 2 beers!) were in the fridge. If you like to spend your holidays in a quiet environment and do not need entertainment, this is the place for you.

Absolutely beautiful stay. Enjoyed our time there and would definitely stay again.

Beautiful apartment with a big garden super safe for kids to play around. Apartment clean and well equipped. Antonia was very helpful to find thr place and to give us all the information. A plate of Cretan sweets was a plus. We enjoyed the place.

George’s place is absolutely beautiful and we spent a few wonderful and peaceful days there. The villa is amazing and exactly as described. The beach was right out front and there were many lovely restaurants nearby. George was always super helpful, friendly & responded to every request we had. The place is a little out of the way from the main areas and you need to drive over quite the impressive mountain road, so renting a car is highly recommended. Either way, it’s very worth it. Thank you for everything!

We had an awesome time at Nikos’s place, he gave very useful tips and his apartment is at walking distance from everything in Matala(as the village is very small). As mentioned in other posts, there are quite a few steps to the place but you get used to it, and it’s a great workout after a big dinner in one of the restaurants below. One of the days it was too windy to be on the beach so we stayed on the terrace of the accommodation with a great view of the sea, the sound of the waves and privacy from others. Perfect for a romantic getaway. Thank you Nikos!
