Beachfront vacation rentals in Heraklion

Had a great time visiting Crete...Agia Pelagia is a fab place to stay, it's a bit of a walk up a steep hill coming back from the sea front...but unless you have mobility problems don't let it put you off.

The pictures don’t do this view justice. It’s breathtaking! The home is gorgeous and the outdoor space is wonderful. It was too cold for us to swim but we still enjoyed time at the beach. Most of the immediate area was already shut down for the season during our stay but there is a lovely area about a mile walk away. We spent a lot of time there enjoying the coffee shops and restaurants. The house and rooms were fantastic and there was more than enough space for everyone to relax. The host was amazing and went above and beyond to help us when we left some glasses at a restaurant. Thank you so much for a great stay!!

We had a lovely stay in this small but nice apartment! The location is fantastic – everything we needed was within walking distance which made our visit very enjoyable. The apartment itself was clean and equipped with the most important things. Although the area was a bit noisy due to the hotel complex next door, that didn't bother us and we were still able to sleep well (maybe just take Ohropax with us:)). Overall, we were very satisfied and would definitely return. Thank you for the hospitality!

Very nice place, as described by the owner.

beautiful, nice, well equipped and super clean! great location. we had a great time in the villa, diana was responsive and helpful!

Athina is a wonderful host. The location is very clean, perfect for a relaxing holiday, close to the beach and taverns. Would definitely recommend for a stay in Crete.

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.

Matthaios's place is a really nice and well equipped private house with private garden, very-very close to the beach, in a calm and quiet environment, we liked it here a lot, came with a baby, she had super nice naps :) We got a lot of help from Matthaios, any question I had he responded accurately.

What wonderful hosts these people are their attention to detail on every aspect of their property is excellent. The place is spotless, everything you need in the villa is there. Manolis and his family are very kind and helpful, do t hesitate just stay here it’s ace!

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!

Only stayed for one night but this was a good place to stay. It is a bit small for two grown ups and two kids but if you keep things organized it's still a pleasant stay. WiFi was way too slow for remote work but connecting my laptop to my phone's hotspot saved the day. Maria was very friendly and helpful so this place is definitely a good option for couples and even families who don't need big indoor spaces.

Perfect stay! Everything was clean and comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches. We will definitely be back the next time we visit Crete!

The place is really a 12 out of 10! A true place to feel good where no wish remains unfulfilled. Everything is extremely tastefully decorated and it looks just as beautiful as on the pictures. We will definitely be visiting again. Within walking distance you will find everything you need, restaurants, shopping and beaches. We were there with our two kids and had an incredibly nice time. Our host Manolis took great care of us – even the fridge wasn't empty when we arrived. He had great tips ready and even took care of our arrival and departure to the airport. All around really worth its price and only recommended!

Giorgos villa is amazing and just as good if not better than the pictures. He is super helpful and nothing is too much bother. Anything you want or needed he would sort. Replies promptly and super friendly. Awesome place to stay with family or friends. The villas facilities are great, and has everything you need. Close to a supermarket, restaurants and the private beach with it's own sunloungers which is brilliant. Couldn't fault it from beginning to end. Thank you.

Perfectly located right on the beach, it offered stunning views that were simply breathtaking. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The apartment itself was spotless and well-equipped, with all the amenities we could ask for. The decor was inviting and made us feel right at home. Waking up to the beach front every morning was a truly magical experience. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience in Crete.

This place is incredible. The views are incredible. Hosts super attentive and helpful. Lives up to the name “House of Zen”. I hope to be back one day.

We had a wonderful stay at Irene & Emmanouel's place. The two hosts were very warm and helpful and were there to help at all times. The children were able to access the beach directly from the apartment and enjoyed this great child-friendly beach very much. The location right on the water is incredibly beautiful and you feel like you're on vacation in a few seconds. The apartment is just as great as described and there is everything you need. We loved a fully equipped children's room, beach toys in front of the door and much more. Thank you very much for everything

We stay here for 4 days, what a beautiful place it is. What a warm welcome from Harry!! Are you looking for a relaxing place with a beautiful view, lovely people and a beautiful appartment... This is it!!! Jeroen and Lenneke from the Netherlands

We adored our stay at Fodele Beachfront Apartments and would love to go back. Pinelopi was kind, attentive and thoughtful (fruits from her garden, bottled water and Raki waiting for us in the fridge) and it was truly a pleasure to meet her. Vasilis answered all of our questions via the app before and during our stay and even helped us with organising the transfer from the airport. They went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was really comfortable. We visited the Dolphin Taverna daily because Nikos and the team were always so friendly and so generous. The food is delicious and excellent value. The check-in process using the lockbox was very convenient. As suggested, the location is absolutely stunning with amazing access to the beach. After going for excursions with tour companies, using the public buses and ordering taxis a couple of times, I would agree that a car rental is probably the better way to get around - if just to access a supermarket with greater convenience.

Giorgos’s place was just what we needed, really well looked after, relaxing and the jacuzzi was an extra bonus. The location is very peaceful and there is a nice little beach right across the road. We hired a car which was really beneficial and we could park right outside the accommodation. The accommodation was perfect, clean, pretty and had everything we needed. Giorgos was there when we needed him, quick to respond and friendly. Thanks for a great holiday!

We had a great time it was an unforgettable weekend! The place was absolutely clean and comfortable!

Super nice bright and well decorated apartment. We felt at home. Lovely balcony overlooking the sea. Eva was there to greet us and explain about the apartment. There was free bread and various delicacies in the fridge. Quick, friendly, and welcoming communication with Eva. We can highly recommend the apartment.

The host are super nice, always respond to app and ask if all is well (She had even baked brownies for us). In addition, the apartment is quite spacious and every room has air conditioning. The balconies are very nice to start the day with a beautiful view. The bathroom is also great, with a rain shower and even a washing machine. In addition, everything was clean and well arranged.

The place was very good, matching the descriptions and the photos. It is very easy to walk to the local beach or if you have a car, the drive to other beaches or the high road isn't long at all. The host was very helpful and super responsive to our messages. Great experience overall!
