For our family this has been the best airbnb experience ever. The house has been perfect for us but it might not fit to every one.
The house is located approx. 15 minutes drive from the airport, 40 minutes drive from Chania center, 5/10 minutes drive from beaches. It located at the end of a street, surrounded by olive trees - you will have absolute privacy and hear only the noise from cicadas. If you want to stay close to bars and restaurants, it is not for you. If you want privacy and tranquility, this will be perfect (it is just in the middle of nowhere).
Beaches - 5 minutes drive to Zorbas beach (not our favorite), 10 minutes drive to Kalathas beach (we preferred), 25 minutes drive to Marathas beach, 50 minutes to Golden Beach (Chania). Definitely recommend to rent a car. There are bikes available (including helmets), but me personally I cannot imagine to use them solely (hot weather).
The house is fully equipped. For our children it was a paradise. There are boxes with toys (dolls, cubes, desk games). Outside there are two swings. The pool is nicely warm (July) and clean (not fenced). We have left at the house some beach toys (buckets, paddles, castle forms) - use them so you don't have to take them in a luggage with you. If you break some, please buy a new one. There is a great store in Chania (JUMBO) - you can buy there almost everything very cheap (beach toys, beach wear, toys, clothes) - if you need.
The house is new and was smartly constructed. There are A/C in every room (There is one A/C above the kitchen that might be used for the upper room. Nevertheless it might get warm upstairs. I recommend to used smart air-flow from open windows during night). All rooms have window blinds.
We also used a baby crib - it was new and clean.
We loved our stay and Alexandros and his wife are excellent hosts. Please treat this house as your own. Thank you!
