The house is very nicely decorated and has breathtaking views. You definitely need a car, not only to get there but also to get around on the island. Costas was very helpful and responsive all along the way. We were two friends with three kids and we do need to point out a few reasons why we do not rate the property 5 star:
•	Bedrooms: One of the bedrooms is listed as ‘adjacent’ and we did not pay close enough attention to that, so we were surprised to find that one of the bedrooms (with the single bed) is across a small patio with a separate key entrance. This posed a problem for our sleeping arrangements and none of our kids (ages 10,11&12) were comfortable sleeping on their own nor did we as parents want to sleep separate from the kids. It was listed as ‘adjacent' so this was our mistake, but we just wanted to highlight that to future (family) travelers. Also, there are no rooms with closed doors in the main house, except the bathrooms.
•	Bees: As mentioned, the views are stunning, especially in the evenings, and there is a generous size terrace. However, we were not able to take much advantage of the terrace, as there were too many bees. We tried on several occasions to eat outside but in a matter of moments there would be 10-15 bees on our food and ourselves. We know Greece is famous for honey and with that comes bees and we are not fussy people, but it was too much for us to enjoy a meal outside so we had all meals inside and most of the times with windows closed as they would also come inside the house.
•	Access: There is no direct access to the house by car, so you need to park at the top of the villas and descend around 100 relatively steep steps. Not ideal if you have prams, heavy luggage (which was our case), bottled water (you are not able to drink the tap water) not to mention wheelchairs.
•	Pool: The pool is quite small and shared between approximately 8 villas. You are not allowed in the pool between 12-2PM and after 8PM. There are about 4 lounge chairs but again, we did not use it much as there were also quite a few bees.
•	Equipment: The kitchen has the necessary modern electrical equipment but there were for example only 2 tea cups and in terms of plates and cutlery is it a bit limited for 5 people. Also, we missed some cleaning items, like a broom.
Overall, we had a great holiday. Kea Island is beautiful and as mentioned, the house is very nice and Costas is very helpful, but we wanted to highlight these things especially for family travelers in the summer season, as I am sure you will not have as many bees outside summer season.
