The house is located close to Ano Mera, about 25-min drive to the airport, though it is worth it due to its amazing view. You MUST have a (rental) car to get this place. The closest beach (lia) is 12-min drive. However, you can go to other two relatively close beaches that we enjoyed (Fokos and Agrari) We never met Vasilis but there was a very helpful co-host, Maria, who took care of most of our inquiries.
