We are a family of 2 adults and 5 kids, and we had ample space and enjoyed a wonderful and relaxing week in this magnificent house.
The hosts were very attentive and responsive and independently offered to provide us with a baby cot.
The house was even better than expected from the photos and the description.
There was three bed rooms with comfortable double beds and one bed room with two single beds. All of the bed rooms had immediate access to comfortable, well-equipped and modern bathrooms. Only two of the bedrooms had to share a bathroom. The house has 3 terraces and a large patio with sun beds and shade from the house or parasols.
The host Dimitris had provided us with fruits, biscuits, new small bottles of shampoo and conditioner in all of the bathrooms, one bag of espresso coffee, and provided us with a very nice and friendly welcome when we arrived.
The house was easy to find and has easy and fast access to the highway, with only 5-8 min drive to Kissamos center with plenty of nice cafes and a big supermarket.
The property is very large and there are no houses nearby. The view over the mountains on both sides of Kissamos bay and the ocean in between was magnificent, giving a very secluded feeling. On the two neighboring properties were goats and horses grazing providing an idyllic and nice scenery for relaxing and the kids also enjoyed it very much.
The house was ca 100 m away from the ocean, and there was a small bamboo hut at the beach providing shelter for the occasional wind and sun. The kids liked the beach very much, although the shore is covered with round rocks. A large part of the seabed was covered with comfortable sand, though, making it comfortable to swim around and walk in the ocean. We did not see any crabs and very few fish.
5 min walking to the west along the beach was a good fish tavern, and 10 min walking to the east was a good Greek tavern with a small playground. 1.1 km away was a nice pool bar (also with a separate tiny playground and pool for small kids) where we could enjoy the pool for free if we just bought some drinks or ice cream.
All in all we had an excellent stay, and recommend this house warmly to anyone wanting to relax in a quite and idyllic atmosphere in a comfortable, large and modern house with a nice, large garden and great countryside and ocean views.
Dimitris and his mother made sure we had an excellent stay and were very attentive and responsive and came up with many great recommendations as to how we could get the maximum out of our stay.
