Where do I start? Well, the first thing is that the owner waited for us at the property and made us feel like we’re friends. They gave us a tour around the house, they explained how everything works and then they took us around the area to show where the local supermarket is, the essentials etc. They then showed us their back garden and insisted that we pick fresh citrus fruits whenever we wanted. We had freshly picked and squeezed orange juice throughout our stay. We also had fresh lemons and limes to make evening cocktails.
The property is pretty big, with a front garden (as well as the back), which is perfect if you have kids, as you can sit peacefully and enjoy your time, whilst the kids are safely playing in the garden. There are lots of toys for them, skateboard, 3 bicycles, footballs, volleyball, paddling pool, swing, baby swing and many other things. It is ideal for families as it allows kids to run around safely and parents enjoying a bit of downtime.
The kitchen is fully equipped, the best I have seen so far. There were serviettes, paper towels, coffee filters, Nespresso capsules, all the utensils for some serious cooking, as well as spices. All the little things you need, but do not want to buy short term, are there. Cling film, aluminium foil, grease proof paper, etc.
The bedrooms well equipped, lots of storage, plenty of hangers, I repeat, plenty of hangers, which sometimes gets overlooked but not here.
The ground floor shower room is small, but functional. Fully ready with soap, shower gel, shampoo and plenty of towels. The top bathroom very well stocked.
The location is great, short drive to the big supermarket, 5 mins walk to a flat beach. However, i recommend driving daily to the Anthony Quinn beach is is 10 mins drive from the house. It is one of the nicest beaches in Greece. Lindos beach, equally beautiful is 30 mins drive.
Back to the house, the property is gated, so kids cannot go onto the road. There were mosquito burners supplied , many bottles of water, despite tap water being drinkable. Also, there was basic food packs ready for a late night snack or next morning breakfast.
This is a very good property and clearly the owners want their guests to have a comfortable and carefree time. Highly recommend it.
