The location is perfect with a capital P.
The house is located on the far side of Plakias, away from the tourist spots, only a 3 minute walk from the beach and a 10 minute stroll to the tourist strip with restaurants, some souvenir shops and a number of supermarkets.
The beach is wonderful. It's located in a small bay, with sand and a beautiful sunset over the mountains, very little waves and shallow water, perfect for children.There is a beach bar with free sunbeds and the prices for a beer or drink to stay on them are very reasonable (the bar also serves vegetarian "beyond meat" burgers).
The villa is an "end-terrace-house" (Reienendhaus) and not a solitary building, which we would have assumed after reading the listing and seeing the photos. The house is also very loud. The wind rattles on the blinds, and you can hear every sneeze, cough or chair in the house. Both of this is why we can only give it four stars, sadly.
The pool is clean but you can't lounge near it and cannot walk around it since it has a wall on two sides and only a very narrow curb on the other.It is, however, totally sufficient for kids to horse-play in (which they did).
All in all, the place is good, the beach is FANTASTIC and we would come back but bring earplugs next time :-)
