Beachfront holiday rentals in Symi

Lilian and Nikolas are the best hosts I have ever met on air bnb! They are beautiful people who put so much love into the accomodation they provide. La Desirade is a magical place, in a peaceful spot away from all the busyness of the main port. With a little beach, shop and taverns near by. The locals were fantastic, offering my son lots of hugs! We were so comfortable in the accomodation, it is clean, very nicely decorated with small kitchen. Lil and Nik really thought of everything you could possibly need...even bringing my son little gifts! I travelled with my family who have various access needs, lil and nik went far above and beyond to ensure we got to and from the port and checking in to see if we were ok. We felt very safe and they really made what felt like a challange for my family possible! I am incredibly thankful for that and would return without question (if we can brave the long journey again!) Shall miss my morning coffee watching the sea. Thankyou both xx

Maria's house is right in the middle of town, just a few moments away from the centre of things (and, if you're staying at Easter, from the square where the ceremonies and dancing are performed; and the fireworks go bang). It is clean, and spacious, exactly like the photographs. Maria was friendly, responsive, and helpful. If you're on Symi, this is a fantastic place to stay.

Ioannis' property was just as the description & photos described. Location was just down from where 'Sea Dreams' ferry arrived. Evaggelia was happy for us to leave our bags downstairs at her apartment which is the other side of Ioannis' apartment, as we arrived before the apartment was cleaned. Absolute highlight was the balcony!!! We loved sitting after the sun went over the hill & before it appeared in the mornings!!🌄 Watching the various watercraft come & go each evening & morning was fabulous entertainment!⛵ Kitchen had plenty of crockery & adequate kitchen, though for our 2 person 2nt stay, we ate out everytime! Do yourself a favour & book a Poseidon round-island day cruise - absolutely amazing & the lunch was the best meal we've had in Greece!!! Will miss Ioannis' apartment everyday till we can return! Highly recommend!

Lolita's home has the most idyllic setting. So close to a beautifully secluded beach, with wonderful outdoor areas. You are forced to sit outside and admire the most beautiful views. From the most wonderful collection at the Port [by boat] from the kindest and most personal host, till collection and drop off, your time will be spent in the most wonderful, and capable hands. The hardest thing to do is leave. A stay much loved. Thank you Francesca, and Lolita.

Maroula’s house is beautiful and very comfortable for our family of five. Great bedrooms, wonderful views and fully equipped with everything we needed. Maroula is a wonderful host who met us from the boat and gave us excellent local dining tips. Would love to have stayed longer here.

This wasn’t just a beautiful oceanfront place to vacation but an experience of Greek life and culture. Michael and his wife Fotini create for their guests a five star experience that I would rate as one of the most unique, memorable and valued experiences I have had on Air B and B. The property is a free standing house that sits in front of Michael and Fotini’s home. It consists of two ample updated waterfront bedrooms with views, one bathroom, a kitchen and dining area. The house sits directly waterfront with only an infrequently used pedestrian path (mainly used by goats) separating you from your private lounging area on the bay with umbrella and cushions on comfortable sun beds. There is also a table waterfront as well as on the porch were Fotini delights in cooking homemade entrees that are available to order off a menu at extra cost. Drinks are also available. I recommend everything she cooks! Being served warmly and lovingly at your private vacation home is a level of luxury not usually found at this price point. But that and transport on Michael’s boat (at extra reasonable charge) is not only wonderful but helps greatly as the home is not adjacent to any street or near a grocery. It is possible to walk to one local restaurant and public beach area over a small section of rocky beach, but Michael helps you get your luggage and any groceries you want to the house by boat, easily. (If you can carry your bag easily rather than use luggage wheels you can also carry it to the property.) What might seem like inconvenience is actually more convenient and romantic and the reason why the property is so beautiful and peaceful. My father and I enjoyed our stay in this natural and quiet area and mixed it with trips into the main town and evening nightlife. If you choose to rent a car rent a very small one and you’ll have an easier time getting it close to the property due to narrow but very picturesque Greek streets. This area is now my favorite on the island. I will never forget a moonlight boat ride with Michael to Simi town and back, a lovely dinner (this time with them both too because we loved their company) at his waterfront, and the last day when Michael invited me to a local “name day” celebration at a Monastery. They also have an adorable Labrador dog Nireas, who will greet you outside with tenderness and much welcome. One last thought: the sun rises over the sea in front of this house. On a day when the water is very still and glassy your heart will rejoice!

Villa Penelope surpassed all our expectations, the welcome from Zoi and the beautiful location was perfect. The accommodation was perfect and the location and simplicity was just what we wanted .

George is an amazing host , he and his wife have been really nice and they have been able to satisfy all our requests. The apartment is super nice , Cousy, full of charme and located in the heart of Symi. We had a great time Symi and if we will come back in the future we will stay without any doubts in the George’s apartment.

Lovely place. Super peaceful and quiet. Pool area was just divine, so nice to relax in and super clean. Apartment was clean with comfortable beds and a lovely little balcony with a table to have breakfast lunch ect at. Hostess was really really lovely and helpful. She let us have a late check out to suit our flight times and helped us arrange transport ect. Highly recommend if you’re wanting a quiet, relaxing get away.

Beautiful villa, bright and spacious, surrounded by a beautiful garden. We immediately feel at home there, especially since it is well surrounded and private. The pool is very beautiful, and we particularly appreciated the opportunity to heat it, for our young children, as it is still cool in early May. The water was at 30 degrees, a treat! We even thought about games for the kids. Jenny is a lovely host. She welcomed us with a basket of fruit and wine, and has always been very responsive. The villa has all the amenities you can dream of. The area is very beautiful, and deserves to be discovered by car. We were also able to leave the house later, as our flight was in the evening, which we enjoyed. In short, nothing to say but happiness!

Great place where to stay, not far from the airport but still quite private (big property, own yard, pool etc). Beautiful spacious villa with all amenities needed, responsive and friendly host. Only downside may be considered noise of flying planes (did not disturb us though).

No words can begin to explain how stunning this villa is!! We had the most amazing time celebrating my best friends hen do - the location is beautiful! The staff who checked us in were so friendly and even very kindly drove us to the shops to get some food supplies when we arrived as it was late and too far to walk in the dark. Valia always replied to my messages quickly and gave us lots of recommendations. Its a good driving distance away from everywhere you would want to go and explore and the taxi prices are so good the company they recommend to us were amazing they arrived on time every day and were so friendly! I would 100% love to stay here again and would recommend it to everyone! It is honestly the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed!

We enjoyed it very much, everything was as shown in the photos. The host always responded quickly and was also able to speak very good English when we arrived, he also told us directly what there is in the area. And he also sent me a lot of links where you can eat well or great bars as well as activities. We felt very comfortable. And was provided water/beer/wine/soft drinks and a bit of fruit. (Free)

Wow what a lovely apartment. Perfect for us. My husband is very tall and found the space and bed size amazing. Lovely and clean and good communication.

I can’t say enough great things about Angleos! He was super responsive and so so helpful. He also was very understanding. When our toilet paper ran out, he came and filled it right away as well as helping me to find a place to order food from late at night. For transportation, he gave me a great recommendation for a taxi service that brought us to and from the airport as well as all around the island. Thank you again so much Angleos. As for the house, it was PERFECT! The outside is beautiful with an amazing pool and plenty of seating everywhere. We had 7 people and slept very comfortably inside with more than enough space for everyone. 10/10 would recommend this home and coming to Rhodes!

Thank you for everything, beautiful place. Provide a non-slip mat for the shower floor, which is sloping and smooth. Otherwise it was great, really! Kind regards, Myriam

We had an amazing time at Melina’s place. It was very clean, and well equipped with everything we needed. We came with a bike, so it was a short walk through the village to get there, with a car it would be a bit more, but very enjoyable. We where very happy we stayed there and not closer to the port. Melina is an amazing host, very helpful, and extremely likable, she went over and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Totally recommend the place!

We spent a family vacation with our 13-year-old daughter and our 16-year-old son at François and Dominique's. Without exaggeration, the house is one of the most beautiful, tasteful and comfortable that we have come to know on Symi (we have already stayed in five other accommodations). The quiet but very central location overlooking the harbor, the beautiful seating and relaxation options around the house, the amenities, the layout of the rooms, the many retreat options - no wish was left unfulfilled! The house is very stylishly decorated, you can reach it directly from the marina via a staircase - the ascent takes less than five minutes: perfect location! Special recommendation: the footpath to the next bay Nimborio, which starts from the house… fantastic! The homeowners and a very attentive contact person on site were always available and provided us with many tips. Absolute recommendation, we will be back!

This was the second time we returned to Villa Jasmine with as much pleasure as ever. The place is superb, quiet and with stunning views. Pedi Bay offers authentic charm and is different from the port of Symi. Thanks to Carolina, Adriana and Nicholas for their kindness and attention.

My wife and daughter stayed safely. And they rented a car. They visited the whole island, George was very supportive. The house was clean and cool. Access without stairs, convenient transportation . Close to ferry grocery store. After 10 days, my wife wanted to take me to the same place, but I couldn't find a place this time because the demand was high. We will go again and again

We absolutely loved staying here - we were with our 2 toddler children and they could play safely and happily in the small courtyard while we simply sat and took in the beautiful view from the balcony. Before breakfast we could go downstairs and dive into the clear water of the harbour for a morning dip - great bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Loads of room in the homely and traditional feeling apartment.

This stay was fantastic, the perfect place to stay in Pedi. Communication was great, and being offered a ride to the apartment from the ferry port was very handy. The place was clean, peaceful, as described, and had everything you need, everything has been thought out very well. Very handy to have a washing machine and ironing board. The sun loungers were great for sitting outside. You can walk to two local beaches, and it's also very convenient for the local store, cafe, restaurant, and the bus stop. We got the bus to the Secret Garden restaurant and walked back - fabulous food and cocktails. There are very cute local cats of course as well! We put water out for them which they seemed to appreciate. The temperature in early October was very nice. We rented electric bikes which was great for getting to Ano Symi and beyond. Amazing views from the hill into the main town, especially at sunset. We enjoyed our stay so much, and were sad to leave! Very much hope we can visit again.

A sweet and magical apartment, worth the climb to it. Good location for trips both in the direction of the mountain and in the direction of the port. As many guests have written - the challenge is to find the place for the first time. While Mercuryos sent directions, they are not enough-the map is a photo of Google-earth and difficult to navigate through, the photos of the streets were very helpful, but they are insufficient, there are gaps between them that are hard to bridge alone. It's a good idea to send a video of the road. Also the fact that the landlord can only be communicated through the booking site is very convoluted. From the moment we arrived- we fell in love with the apartment and enjoyed our stay very much.

The apartment is beautiful and the view is even more stunning in person. The apartment is immaculately clean, functional and has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Ioannis and his wife are extremely kind hosts very helpful, they also have a gorgeous dog called Ben. Ioannis was so friendly and nothing was a problem, he provided extra towels and coffee, gave us restaurant and outing suggestions. An amazing property at a great price. The walk to town took 10 mins, to the beach approx 25 mins. The walk home after a few glasses of retsina took a little longer but we enjoyed getting our steps in every day
