This is literally the *BEST* airbnb out of the dozens of amazing places we've stayed in around the world.
The atmosphere is an 11 out of 10. I can hardly imagine a more magical experience than staying right on the water in peaceful Ammoudi Bay, taking in the constant sound of gentle waves. Viewing Santorini's famous sunsets on your own deck, under a beautiful archway, away from the massive crowds up in Oia and Fira, is a transcendent experience. Being just a short (steep) walk away from Oia is also a tremendous advantage (so you can enjoy its markets, wine bars, etc. but still escape the crowds when you return to your accommodation). The nearby rock beach is incredibly beautiful - in sapphire blue water you can float on your back and take in amazing views of Oia's and Fira's famous cycladic architecture and the island's beautiful rock formations.
The hospitality of the hosts (and the local people in general) cannot be overstated.
The nearby fish tavernas are pretty good; they are likely quite overpriced due to their unique location, but the quality is good and the ambience exceptional. We found that the one named "Sunset in Ammoudi" has great dakos, dips, and salads - extremely fresh and flavorful. Another one of the tavernas, Dimitris, has a tremendously friendly proprietress and staff.
Finally, the decor/design of the Airbnb are fantastic. It is really a beautiful place (and perfectly functional).
Truly wonderful. Thanks so much!
Just one tip for future guests: Consider bringing enough bottled water for your stay when you first arrive. The water in the Airbnb is desalinated and therefore has a strange taste. The walk up to Oia, where the nearest market is located, is pretty steep. Fine for us, but could be a pain for some, especially those with limited ability (or desire) to walk.
