About this property

To listen to the sound of the waves – day and night.

To be on the seaside – alone. On your own terrace.

A house – directly on the seafront. No tourist invasions and luxuriously private. Perfect for love birds, hopeless romantics, ambitious poets and future yoga masters.

Modern, fresh, still romantic interiors. Inviting design from glass and steel mixed with delicate antiquities …

Private garden by the sea. Two bedrooms with sea views, each with a double bed (1.40 m). A bathroom, 2 toilets, additional outdoor shower. From the bedrooms you will have a fantastic view of the sea - day and night you will hear sounds of the sea.

Modern kitchen with all the comforts (washing machine, dishwasher, A/C, Wi-Fi, stereo and fireplace).

The house is protected on a 12 m high cliff.

The beach village of Achlia is within walking distance (300m). Please note that the house is not equipped for babies or infants.

We are happy to organize a butler service for you to take over your shopping, cooking and cleaning.

The climate is a blessing … Ierapetra has rd. 3.100 hours of sunshine per year. It is the sunniest city in Europe. The annual average temperature is 20.1 degrees! The area is warmer in December/ January/ February than Munich in May ...

A perfect place to relax and forget

We really enjoyed our stay at Achlia beach. The house if very comfortable, has everything you need and is super clean. The location sooo idyllic, you literally sleep with the wave sound. We loved eating breakfast by the sea and winding down at night with a glass of wine by the sea. We are definitely coming back. You suggestion for places to stay and beach outings were spot on. Maria the housekeeper is a true gem.

Excellent Sejour!

Wonderful stay!!House was exactly as shown on listing. Very well equipped on all aspects, kitchen, outdoor, appliances. Check in was very convenient as we arrived by ourselves and doors were already open for our arrival. Beach, restaurants information was very helpful and all good! Arrival instructions could have been clearer, the two mailboxes identified in the Directions are now occulted by a concrete bus stop. Need to be updated. Sea house cottage sign very small. Could not find instructions for the washing machine in englosh or french but we managed. Overall, great experience that we would recommend. Would have been nice to have a swimming pool to refresh as nights were still very warm.

Top Ferienhaus

War wunderbar. Wir haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Waren noch nie in einer so gut ausgestatteten, gut funktionierenden und reizvollen Ferienwohnung. Für einmal ist das Inserat im Internet bescheiden im Vergleich zur Realität. Auch die Lage prima, der Strand von Achlia schön, völlig genügend, auch zum Schnorcheln. Die Strasse hört man nur im Hintergrund, dafür die Grillen, das Meer. Die AC ist tatsächlich ein bisschen laut, aber man gewöhnt sich dran. Insgesamt sehr sehr schön, kommen gerne wieder!

About the host

Hosted by Sabine Rametsteiner

We are an Austrian-German family. We use and love this house a lot ourselves. We are very happy to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

We have always looked for, but never found, a house right on the beach, the sound of the waves around the clock, tastefully furnished, out of tourist areas, not only for millionnaires... In 'Seaside Home Crete' we were able to fulfill our dream.
