Family-friendly vacation rentals in Plakias beach

We stayed at Georgia's mansion during our honeymoon at the end of September. The place was large for two people, but we felt like royalty with all of the space :) The mansion is beautifully redone on the inside - it has modern amenities with a traditional aesthetic. The place had absolutely everything we needed in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and outside. The pool was wonderful! We spent our afternoons lounging after hot days in Chania and the surrounding areas, which offer lots of restaurants, attractions, and great shopping! The area was great as well - easy to get to, quiet, and with easy access to the main road that can take you east or west in no time :) We highly recommend a stay at this beautifully restored mansion, and we hope to be back ourselves someday!

It was super nice here. We were warmly welcomed and communication went smoothly. The place is as shown in the pictures. You are a bit at the mountain up, which is super nice as it is much quieter there. You can walk to town and the beach. We were very pleased.

We had a delightful stay at this charming Airbnb. Upon our arrival, the host prepared a delicious fresh salad from her garden and gifted us oranges from her trees. It was the best fruit and vegetables we had during our time in Crete. On our departure day, her husband also made us a traditional breakfast dish, which was a wonderful treat. The absolute highlight was the Jacuzzi, which we enjoyed every evening.

Charilaos was an amazing host! He greeted us at the villa and had left us a great stock of food and drinks, which was great for our large group! His house was done really really well, and perfectly suited us with our two babies. It would be great spot for any larger group with the number of bedrooms. The views were also fantastic! We ended up spending an evening by the pool talking and watching the sea. The whole place is beautiful and perfectly accommodating along with one of the best hosts you could ask for.

We had an amazing stay! The location was perfect with a beautiful view. The house was clean, spacious, and had all the amenities to make our stay comfortable. Teo was very responsive and helpful, making check-in and communication smooth. He gave us recommendations of places to see around Rethymno and the rest of Crete. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Rethymno. Thanks Teo!

This beautiful Airbnb exceeded our expectations! Beautiful views from every room and spacious balconies. LOVED the hot tub on the deck looking out at the water. We thought we wanted to stay in old town but it was better being a little out from the busy town. Only about 20 minutes walk to town. Lots of space for 5 of us! Great restaurant, “Blue” is only a 5 minute walk. Ionna was a very responsive and helpful host. He even let us check out late which was so helpful since we had an evening flight. Highly recommend!

The place is beautiful and cozy just like the pictures! Just be aware that the stairs to acces the apartment and the second floor are narrow and steep. Manos’ recomendations of restaurants were very good.

We spent a month at Dimitris's house with our 1 year old daughter. The house is a few minutes walk from the sea and a great little bay. The bay is perfect for kids. The mini market and restaurants are also within walking distance. House was clean and in order. We lacked nothing. In the evening in bed you could always hear the sea rustling. The garden, like the house, was in impeccable condition. Our daughter especially liked to spend time here on the swing. Dimitris was always easily accessible and immediately on the spot if there was a problem. We enjoyed the time at Dimitris's and would very much like to come back.

Beautiful apartment, well equipped, close to Chania by car. Easy street parking which is very quiet. The apartment is very spacious, it can be suitable for 2 families. Our host's welcome is perfect. The stay around Chania is very pleasant. Recommended!

Very nice house with its private pool, garden and the view to Kournas lake. The house was spotless, everything super clean and with all we need to feel at home (kitchen, games, pool inflatables…). There is a garage for the car. Our host Eleftheria is super nice, very responsive, with good advices and very kind.

A fantastic stay! The house was spacious, quiet, and perfect for our family. We loved the beautiful garden, and the kids had fun visiting the small farm with chickens and geese at the back which added a unique and memorable touch to our stay. The peaceful setting made it a great place to relax. The host and his family were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our time there. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly getaway!

A truly incredible and special place to stay. The home is beautiful, spacious, and filled with art. The outdoor patio is filled with lush plants and offers a lovely space to sit. The location is perfect, very close to the port yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle. We can not speak highly enough of Valia. She made us feel instantly welcome; was very responsive and provided us with helpful information; and ensured the space has everything you may need. It was truly a privilege to have had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful house during our time in Chania. Thank you Valia for everything!

It feels like home as soon as we arrived at Grigoris's place. We were welcomed by Christina (Grigoris mom, hope we got the name right). Christina was super friendly and helpful through our stay. She brought to us some home cooked Greek pastries and biscuits next day and we loved them. The house looks and feels better than the photos. Beautiful sea view in a quiet area. We felt so relaxpastIt has everything you need to enjoy your stay there. Great place for a family. Highly recommend and we will definitely come back. Lots of lovely memory. Thank you Christina and Grigoris.

Heike's place was super well maintained and had everything your heart desired. We felt comfortable and enjoyed our time very much! Heike was also on site on the day of our arrival and personally gave us many helpful tips and explained everything necessary to us. She was also quickly available to us at any time. Utensils for grilling meat and fish were also fully available. The surrounding small towns with numerous locations can be reached quickly and easily by car. If you are athletic, you can also walk :) . But you can also unwind at home, either in a hammock or a lounger.

Yulia apt is in a beautiful location overlooking the old port of Chania. It was like a home to us. It has so many things you might need and a fully equiped wonderful kitchen. the bathroom is outside the room but since nobody else uses the building it feels private. The street gets noisy at night with youthful happiness. Yulia was very helpful with all our needs. we'll return when we can!

Great location. The second floor of the house with a separate entrance. The host's parents live on the ground floor. Super nice people. There is a direct beach access from the house ~200 meters away. Very convenient! All photos are true and all air conditioners work and do a great job in hot weather!

Absolutely amazing host and villa. Kosta and his office were brilliant and when we got to the villa we were met by Stella. She could not have done more to make our stay any better; communication was seamless, so many local suggestions, local produce left throughout the stay, the loan of a stoneware pot to use in the pizza oven over tonight to slow cook vegetables, honestly everything and more. The villa is exactly like the photos - stunning. Breath taking location with a view we all miss now we are home. The layout of the villa is excellent; it is beautifully decorated, the outside kitchen area is perfect and much used. The landscaping is wonderful, and the pool is gorgeous. The villa was meticulously cleaned throughout our stay and the pool and garden maintained to the highest standard. We had the most wonderful holiday; thank you so much Stella and your team for everything.

We had a great time. Good contact with the lessor. I recommend!

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we had a fantastic time and stay at Olive Villa. Panagiotis and Olga are an absolutely delightful couple as well as kind, generous and hard-working hosts. It is clear that they both take great pride in their home and also go out of their way to ensure the accommodation and facilities they provide for their guests are of an extremely high standard. We were hugely impressed by and spent a lot of time relaxing in the beautiful garden (immaculately tended) as well as in the swimming pool (very clean and well-maintained) and dining in the outside bbg area (fantastically set out and equipped). We cannot recommend it highly enough and dearly hope to be able to return in the not too distant future!

There were three of us in the apartment including a 3-year-old child. The place was as described and the hosts go out of their way to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The communication in advance and also during the stay was super quick and helpful. We have received a lot of tips and descriptions to find our way around on site. The shared roof terrace is very nice and also the balcony of the apartment is a good size. The amenities are simple, but it has everything you need. We can absolutely recommend this place (value for money).

Lovely villa and garden in a quiet spot. Kostas and Elizabeth were very approachable and responded quickly to any queries. As others have said, the only slight draw back is the approach to the villa down a very narrow drive with a right angled turn which took some manoeuvring even in our smallish car. We got used to it and ultimately this didn't spoil our enjoyment of this beautiful property.

We were two families with two children and spend a week in Lena’s house. The villa is specious and comfortable. Pool was nice and clean. The house is in a remote location so you do need a car for everything, but you are in a less touristy and quiet spot of Crete and you can reach most of the top attractions within an hour drive. It’s about 15min drive to the nearest beach and 45min to Rhetymno town. It’s also easy to go to the mountains.

Amazing place, very relaxing. Beautiful outdoor area with a lovely pool. Marilena was very helpful. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

We have been to Sivas for the second time. The villas are both lovely and so are the hosts. Whenever there is a problem, they are there to fix it. If you want a quite and nice place to stay- book this place. Thank you for making our holiday such a nice experience. We will sure meet again!🩷
