We really enjoyed our stay at Maria's house.
We received a warm welcome from Maria and her cousin. Maria welcomed us with fruits, wine, coffee, butter, jam, and many useful things for our children (2 babycots, cutlery, a baby chair, even a stroller, toys for the beach, ...).
She provided many towels and soaps. For the beach, there were chairs, an umbrella and towels.
The house was bigger and nicer than we expected. You are really really close from the beach and get a beautiful view from all 3 balconies (1 downstair, 2 upstairs). The house was clean, it looks new, everything worked well.
Maria was very responsive and available before and during our stay.
So the house is really 10 meters from the beach. This is a sandy beach, clean and with enough space to either rent 2 sunbeds and an umbrella for 6 euros, or stay wherever you want with renting it.
Really close to the house is one taverna. A bit on the left is a hotel, but they refused us to eat there, they told us it was for their guest only. And still further on the left is another café/restaurant where you can also rent sunbeds.
Otherwise, if you have a car (I don't know how are public transport there), there are many things to do which are not far and differents activities for children.
The house is very close to the airport and you see and hear the plane when you are on the beach, but not inside the house with closed windows. We actually enjoyed watching the plane flying and landing.
I really recommend this house if you want a nice holiday in Crète.
