We loved this location! Our host was so helpful answering questions and so welcoming! Great location central to so many activities. Really comfortable place to relax with family and friends and plenty of room to enjoy a nice bottle of wine on a beautiful balcony after a day of activities. We wish we could have stayed longer!

The property was beautiful, relaxing and very much at home. It is a little bit of a walk to get anywhere for dinner, etc but the places we walked to the food was all excellent. The host was super accommodating and helpful.

Less than a block from the beach. Very quiet neighborhood with good beachfront restaurants. The host is so sweet, inexplicably met us at 6:30am just to see us off when we would have happily left the keys and let the poor man sleep in. They provided some coffee, tea, juice and raki. Really lovely little spot to relax.

Superb house in a great location

We spent a wonderful week in this house. It is not too far from Heraklion but the neighborhood is quiet and there is a lovely little beach just 50 meters away. The hosts were delightful and very responsive. We highly recommend this property!

Great place for a week of summer

Very well placed, well equipped and cozy house with all you need. Friendly owners. Close to many beaches and a short drive away from towns with cafes and restaurants. Small issue is that it is on the corridor for planes landing in Heraklion so you can hear them.

The house is beautiful and the host and hostess were friendly and helpful. We had difficulty with locating the property because of my gps not functioning properly. Eva was so patient and ending up sending George to meet us. The balcony where we relaxed in the mornings and evenings was lovely as well was the garden. Wine, juice, ouzo, and raki made for a welcome arrival. Beach and good restaurants were nearby. Paper products were provided but you may need to bring extra. Please note that

Nice contact to Crete

The hosts welcomed us with local delicacies (food and drink). They were extremely reactive and helpful when we encountered a small problem during our stay.The house is located in a quiet area only 15’ from the airport and close to all comodities. Although it is at the vertical of the trajectory of planes landing in Heraklion, this was not disturbing. The home is well equipped with a lovely front garden and a very nice terrace upstairs.

I would give more stars if I could. Property owners were amazing. Even took us to the grocery store to stock up. Baked us treats and we had welcome wine and local raki. We had so much fun. Villa Eva was perfect for us!

The property was very clean. The listing is misleading about the distance to the beach, it is not beach side as represented in the listing. There are no beach supplies or bathroom amenities provided. We had requested more toilet paper but never heard back from the host.On a positive note when the washing machine broke the host took our laundry and cleaned it for us.
This is the actual beach view as shown in the listing.

My big fat greek vacation on Crete

We were on vacation in three generations. Villa Eva is a beautiful place for holiday in big family. The terrace and the balcony offers enough opportunies for relaxing, dinner, playing games and much more. It was great to make breakfast outside every morning. Position of the ville is very good for tapsing along the coast, swimming on the beach or near to Taverna and the Cretaquarium. Other attractions as Knossos, Spinalonga and the Lasithi plateau can be reach easily from the villa by car. Vacations were most beautiful and we will remember long ago. Efharisto para Poli!

Quiet seaside home

We chose the area for the proximity to the ocean and convenience to attractions. It was perfect for short drives to multiple attractions. Home offers every convenience and the neighborhood in the off season was pin drop quiet - The beachside restaurants were closed for season so couldn’t walk to restaurants in off season but they are just a short 5-20 min drive away . Host was excellent 5stars . away

It was great stay

It was a great stay. The property is right by the beach the house is very cute and has lots of space. We were greeted with some wine and raki in the fridge and some fruit. The property has everything you need to cook. I would say, a few minor things- the beds are extremely hard, so uncomfortable. I had to sleep downstairs on the couch because I couldn’t do another night in the bed. Mattress pads would be extremely beneficial so you’re not sleeping on a rock. I was surprised to not have extra toilet paper and paper towels. I feel this is something that should be provided. We did have to go out and get more. The pictures can be a bit deceiving since it’s not right on the beach. It’s down a side street. It was only a 3-5 min walk but it seemed at first booking it was right on the beach. The check in was very easy and everything otherwise was great. A very quiet area but able to walk to some restaurants and shops.

Crete stay

Pros: nice space; room darkening shutters that also kept the noise out; each room had its own air conditioning; nice deck and patio; close to the sea; owner provided a bottle of wine, some fruit, a cake roll, a couple bottles of water, and raki. Cons: each bathroom had only a half a roll of toilet paper and we were there 4 nights. A spare roll for each bathroom was requested, but owner stated that it was not in the house rules to provide that. He did say he would bring one over that evening, but he did not. (I know he wasn’t feeling well while we were there) We requested a trash bag so we could empty our kitchen garbage. Request was denied. Could be better: there was no plastic wrap, foil, or baggies. If you plan to cook and store leftovers bringing some ziplocks would be useful. Coffee, sugar, and salt were provided, but no additional spices or cooking oil. I know some VRBO’s don’t stock many of these items and others do. I tend to be more satisfied for the places that do have the extras. I think it’s good to know ahead of time. There were some beach chairs in the back of the house that we didn’t see until the last day as it wasn’t pointed out on check-in. Shower heads were hand held, which was inconvenient, but doable.

False advertisement - intensive passage of planes over the house

On the presentation card, it is indicated VERY CALM. It was the impression we had when we arrived around 1:30 am. But what awakening around 7am during the resumption of activity of the airport of Heraklion: thrill of jet engines in phase of landing every 5 minutes ... I understand why the owner was very eager to receive the balance of our payment immediately upon our arrival ... It was very quiet then. The villa, presented as very quiet, is actually in the air corridor of Heraklion, with aircraft passes at very low altitude (150 to 250 m) just above the house. The notion of calm flies up in smoke instantly ... Goodbye good naps and relaxing nights ☹ The owner did not respond to our request to cancel our second week on the VRBO website. His answer was: "you will see that you will get used to the sound of planes ...". So we had to stay and lock ourselves in this house with shutters and windows permanently closed for 15 days and nights. Not top during the month of July ... During a shower & beard shaving & drying, I counted up to 5 plane passes: record to beat ... The shadow of the planes passes squarely on the house. We had to rent a car urgently to escape the day to avoid this ceaseless noise. In short for calm and serenity, you must forget. This explains my very negative note ... The surroundings are not interesting or beautiful: next to the former US military base disused, with remains of shabby barracks and squatted by homeless . A shallow sandy beach is accessible to children, right next to a small port without charm: watch the boats pass by the swimmers. Other than that, nice house, with 3 air-conditioned bedrooms with double beds, and a sofa in the living room / kitchen, that is 8 people. The layout is clean but average, not very practical. No luxury or the hot tub announced in the beginning despite the announcement that has been changed since my remark to the owner! The shower room on the first floor is badly lacking storage space to put its things. BBQ without accessories like tongs. Pity! Small garden on the front of the house and parking space provided but without table to eat. kitchen: dishwasher and huge fridge private terrace upstairs with sea views but it's complicated to eat there because far from the kitchen. Many problems of connection to the unstable wifi at startup / exit of standby. In summary I do not recommend unless you like planes ... you can find better and much quieter elsewhere.
