For our first time traveling from the U.S. to an international country with our one year old baby, we had a great stay here! The entire place is like a little villa - peaceful oasis. The views are INCREDIBLE and you get to see it every day from your bed when you wake up. We loved having breakfast every morning on the private balcony. The host had a crib available for us, which was a bonus! The AC worked perfectly and there is also electric blinds that are also a plus when wanting to black out that hot sunshine. The location is off the beaten path from Agia Pelagia beach so you can't quite walk anywhere - you will need a car. It's only about 20-25 minute from Heraklion airport which is perfect. The area is tranquil - which is just what we wanted as we have a little child. You have access to use the pool, the bbq, and outdoor dining area. Host was on site, so any questions we had were immediately answered. He was very friendly. I used google translate on my phone sometimes to communicate with host but there is a friend Irene, who speaks English, who makes herself available by phone for any urgent questions you may have.
Note: in this area of Greece they do not have trash collectors that come to the residences so you have to bag up your trash during your stay and dump it at a garbage site nearby - gas station just 5 minutes away. This was no big deal for us to do but thought I'd mention it. There was another family staying on site in another apartment and we barely saw or heard them. It truly felt like we had the entire place to ourselves.
We would definitely stay here again if we venture back to the island of Crete.
