Beachfront vacation rentals in Matala

Niki is a lovely host, happy to help with anything and very friendly. The home is nice, cool during the hot days and in good location near the beach and supermarket. I would stay there again!

The host was incredibly polite and hospitable throughout our stay. The apartments are conveniently located, with easy access to local restaurants and taverns. On one occasion, we encountered an issue with the tap, but the host promptly resolved it without any additional charges. Their excellent English skills and helpful resources were greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend this host and their apartments. You're sure to have a fantastic time during your stay.

We stayed in Frangokastello for a week in the fall with our three children. We were very warmly welcomed by the hosts and even received various regional food gifts, including feta, pastries and citrus fruits. The property itself offers everything you need. We especially liked the oven and the beach. In low season the place is very, very quiet, there is only a handful of tavernas in the whole area and a few supermarkets that are open. But that didn't bother us any further.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at an incredible apartment that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment you step into the apartment, you will be captivated by the breathtaking views. The large windows offer a panoramic view of the sea and surrounding landscape, making every sunrise and sunset a spectacular event. The hosts were absolutely fantastic! They were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Their communication was prompt and friendly, making me feel valued as a guest. The apartment itself was immaculate and well-equipped with all the amenities one could need. The cozy furnishings and tasteful decor created a warm atmosphere that felt like home. The kitchen was stocked with essentials, allowing me to prepare meals with ease. Additionally, the bed was exceptionally comfortable. I wholeheartedly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

Very nice place! Thank you, Vasilis!

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.

The villa was outstanding, the pictures really do not do it justice. Perfect location & absolutely lovely. Matthaios was a brilliant host , aided by Rena, who was lovely. We had one small problem which Matthaios sorted out immediately. Thank you. We felt very looked after. The welcome basket contained Rena's fantastic homemade cakes & biscuits & utterly delicious olive oil, along with other local treats. We had such a brilliant stay we will be back for sure. Thank you.

We were two couples sharing this apartment and it was well equipped and spacious, as per the photos. The beds were comfortable with good quality linen and it was nice to have shower and beach towels. The large balcony was a great space with a good view but two of our party have slight hearing issues and the traffic noise made conversation difficult at times. However the location of the apartment is great with such an interesting beach and sea view. We swam frequently and it was easy to pop down at all times of the day and evening. The walk to the old town was pleasant and easy and it was well worth a walk to the castle. We had a problem with the fob not working to access the parking area but Constantine responded quickly and resolved it. Despite the parking space being on the small side we had no issues with a medium sized car that fitted 4 adults and luggage comfortably. Constantine met us to show us the parking and apartment despite being quite busy which we appreciated.

The villa is a most beautiful place for a relaxed family vacation. Quiet, spacious and with all the amenities for a relaxed stay. The next town is nearby, only a few minutes away by car. The local support is excellent, very friendly, very responsive and alert. All in all, a very recommendable place.

We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is very lovingly furnished, clean and has a fantastic location right on the beach. The surrounding area is perfect for sightseeing (close to Chania, Aptera) and hiking. The hosts were very easy to reach and very friendly - there were even some Greek delicacies to welcome us. We would love to come back and can highly recommend this place! Thank you very much!

We had a really great stay at the villa. If you are vacationing in the south of Crete, you have to know that it is not as touristy as it is in the north. For us, it was exactly what we were looking for. The housekeeper was always on hand with questions and always very friendly and helpful. She had a great tip for a motorboat rental. That was a great day. On the left and right, there is a tavern. Both mega good cuisine and very friendly. We found the tavern Galini a tick better. We arrived with the rental car. It's probably not different either. Best is to enter Taverna Kioni as a destination on Google Maps. This will take you straight to the destination. From Chania Airport we needed 1:45 h. Villa was as described. Location, equipment and care by the housekeeper and Nikos. Everything perfect. We were just able to relax for 10 days. Ideal for families with children. Thank you so much at this point.

We really enjoyed our stay. We were 4 adults, 1 toddler and 1 dog. We are very satisfied with the villa and would love to come back next year. The villa has a private pool and a private entrance to the beach. However, water at the beach was dirty most of the time and wasn’t really comfortable to swim there with a baby, also because of the rock bottom, so we were driving to different public beaches. You must have a car, because due to the weather conditions it wasn’t possible to us to walk anywhere near.

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

We can highly recommend Nikos beach house. Nikos is very friendly and helpful. The house has a very high quality, the small garden is peaceful and the beach is perfect for a morning swim and for snorkelling. Would even recommend the coffee and pastry at Matts cafe! We used the outside barbecue a couple of times with meat from the butcher in the town - and it was delicious.

This house was unbelievable! The location was gorgeous and perfect. It felt private but also accessible and we LOVED the little town. The amenities and entire home were a dream and made our vacation perfect. The only thing better was STAVROS the host! He was AMAZING! Left us treats, helped us multiple times with recommendations, and even brought us freshly pressed oil! We definitely hope to be back!

The home and hospitality was above and beyond what we expected. In addition, the grounds and pool were beautiful! Such a wonderful host … we felt so welcomed.

We live Eleni’s villa. Superbly well equipped spotless and great location. We were greeted with lots of home baked goodies (delicious) fruit wine and raki’s. They brought extra toys for our 22 month old and regularly checked in to see if we needed anything. Second visit and hopefully not the last. Thank you (both) eleni’s for all you did to make our holiday so Memorable. Anne

What a great spacious apartment and even better location,.. and with a panoramic sea view from the spacious balcony/terrace. What more do you need? And chose Kalamaki over Matala (just visit) if you want to relax.

Villa Oliv was a lovely place for our family and we loved calling it home during our stay! The house is just as described and Claudia was so attentive and responsive. The pool was so nice and we thoroughly enjoyed the openness of the home.

Beautiful villa by the sea. The house is very well equipped, we did not lack for anything. All three bedrooms are very comfortable and the bedding is excellent. The view from the house is exceptional, there is direct access to a beautiful beach, wild, we loved it! Can't wait to come back! Georges was very welcoming and always attentive. He gave us some very good places to eat and we really appreciated the attention when we arrived. There was wine, olive oil, sodas… Thank you so much, we had a great holiday 😊

We had a fantastic stay at Seaside Villa Lavrys. The villa itself is spacious, well-maintained, and located in a peaceful area with a lovely view. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, but do keep in mind that you’ll need a car to get around as the location is a bit remote. Taxi transportation from Chania costs around €30. What truly made our experience special was our host, Alex. From the moment we booked, Alex was incredibly responsive and attentive, always available to answer any questions we had. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay, offering great local tips and assistance whenever needed. His kindness and willingness to help made a huge difference in our trip. Alex’s family was also very warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a peaceful, family-friendly stay in Crete, and Alex’s hospitality made it even better.

We were totally delighted with the place and its amenities. Something I hadn't realized and which is a disturbing hair are the parties at the pool next door twice a week. Apart from that, everything is perfect. The hosts are charming and the two owners are very attentive. We will come back without hesitation.

Great location, great hosts! A local contact person at any time and quick communication. There are many free parking options around the apartment. Glad to come back!

What a spot. We loved it. It’s more beautiful than one can see from photos. You can hear the sea lap the shore night. The yoga mats and full kitchen were also favorites. We LOVED sunset at our beach each night or on a walk to the other nearby beaches. It was wonderful. Aliki was a very responsive host with recommendations for hikes and beaches.
