Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Heraklion

Maria's place is comfortable, in a great location. The two terraces are beautiful. All shops and the beach are a 5-minute walk away. Maria was very welcoming, responsive, and accommodating. We already want to come back....

Best place to vacate in Crete. Fantastic host and very good service from Claire.

We felt comfortable in the apartment. Communication with Nikos went very well. Downtown can be reached quickly on foot, the airport with the local bus lines as well.

I really enjoyed staying here. The view, the tranquility and in general the apartment was a dream to be in. I felt right at home and didn't want to leave. Always happy to come back. Highly recommend this property.

Dear Alexis, dear Nikoleta, thank you so much for the wonderful stay in your house. We are looking forward to tasting the cake you made for us with our best friend today back home :-) Everything was so lovely and cosy. Have a good season 2025 and looking forward to come back again. All the best for you Uli and Guido

We loved Manos’s place! Everything was as shown in the pictures and him and his team were extremely friendly and accommodating. There were some issues getting water to the unit due to issues with the city supply but Manos responded immediately with fresh bottled water and kept us updated throughout the process. We couldn’t have asked for him to be more accommodating!

This cosy villa was the perfect backdrop to a very memorable trip. The balcony offers beautiful views, the village is peaceful and welcoming, and we liked the convenience of being just a 25 minute drive from Heraklion city. We had all the amenities we needed, and everything is as described. Many thanks to our hosts Apo and Despoina for their warmth and hospitality! We had a wonderful stay.

Stella's Home was the most positive Airbnb experience I've ever had (and I've had some really lovely ones). The place is beautiful and the views are some of the best I've ever seen with the beach being only a 6 minute walk away. Stella was also an exceptional host. She stocked the fridge with some complementary groceries which made for a really positive start to our trip, especially after a day of traveling. It was also one of the most thoughtful things a host has done for one of my stays. Stella was also very communicative, checking in to make sure everything was going well for us and if we needed anything. The hot tub was amazing, the house was spotless and comfortable, the description of the space completely accurate. 5 days was not enough for us here and if I ever make it back to Crete, I will definitely be staying here again. Highly recommend!

Beautiful place! Only stayed one night but could have easily stayed multiple nights with all the amenities she provided. Thanks again!

We were looking for a nice place close to the port and I don’t think you get any closer literally a five minute walk from their place. Straight down the road. The place was very clean, modern upscale very well appointed. I would highly recommend.

perfect all thank you very much

For the money we paid, we couldn't ask for more. Heraklion is my home town and finding my way round wasn't going to be an issue, but even if I was an unaware foreigner on his first visit there I wouldn't be troubled whatsoever. George was always available on the phone and helpful. The studio was spotless and functional as quoted in the advert. The immersion heater would heat the water within minutes, while the air-condition was handy. The main advantage of this place though is its location: there is everything you need right at your feet and if you are the pedantic kind of tourist the choice laid out in front of you will put your mind to rest. Within less than half a mile radius you have more bars, cafeterias, restaurants and shops your palate can handle. Only question is... do you know where you are going? I am Greek, so I do. Thank you George, that was great! Michael

Communication with the host was very easy and the place was very neat and comfortable.

They stay was perfect! Giorgos always responded quickly when we asked something. The appartement was really clean aswell! Would totally recommend.

Went for two days to visit Heraklion. Was a percé place to say to walk in the heart of the city and 7 minute walk to the Archaeological Museum.

Thank you so much to Dimitris who is an excellent host! Available, great tips, friendly and anxious to make our best stay in Agia Pelagia. The accommodation perfectly matches the listing and the location is perfect, the sea is within walking distance very quickly and all the shops and restaurants are at the foot of the apartment. The place was clean and well equipped for a week. The small balcony overlooking a parking lot where rental cars are stored is very nice and allows you to spread your laundry in the sun without inconvenience. The value is excellent and Dimitris even offers to change the sheets and towels after 5 days and offers you fresh fruit, water and juice upon your arrival and during your stay! Everything was perfect, we are very happy to have stayed here and to have met Dimitris, thank you again 🇫🇷🇬🇷 Celia & Arnaud

the place was very nice and Maria was very hospitable. Her mom gave us delicious homemade cookies. The house looked as if someone is still living there. there were personal photos and what seemed like personal items. looked a lot like a "home". We had a lovely time. thank you Maria.

BEST HOST EVER! I’ve never been so happy either a host and very comfortable and lovely place. All the facilities were above the expectations. Can’t wait to stay at George’s place again.

We had a very nice and sunny October week at Tasos's place. The apartment is as described in the pictures. We really enjoyed that there was also a small terrace in the front of the house. So you had sun in the morning and evening. Tasos' recommendations were also great. Especially the tavern on the mountain in Rogida was highly recommended.

Everything was just perfect! Very friendly and helpful host. There were even some Easter sweets in the apartment. Right by the beach, restaurants and bars, everything in walking distance. I would recommend this Airbnb also for solo travelers, as it is very safe.

This was a gem of a place, really well designed, huge balcony and panoramic view, sea, mountains, beautiful church etc. 10 mins walk to major sights, the Museum of Archeology was fabulous and also the quirky Museum of Ancient Technology was fascinating. Great food and coffee options all around. Giannis was quick to respond and I loved my stay here.

Kostis was such a helpful host and we loved his neat-as-a-pin and comfortable apartment a stone’s throw from Lion Square, particularly lounging in the hammock on the large, sun-drenched balcony with a view to snow-capped mountains and the beautiful blue sea. Kostis was kind enough to leave us some fresh bread, butter and honey for breakfast which we were grateful for as we arrived late on a Saturday night. His recommendations were excellent and he booked us a table at a sensational restaurant just around the corner (Peskesi) at our request. The apartment was cool on a hot day and the kitchen had everything we needed. The washing machine came in handy too. A very relaxing and comfortable place to stay.

Great!!! Very beautiful, comfortable and spotless space!

We loved our stay at Susanna’s place! She went above and beyond making us feel welcome and providing everything we could possibly need including some great local recommendations. The studio is charming and cozy and in a very quiet peaceful neighborhood. Be mindful that the walk into the city center is about half an hour, and closest restaurants and such about 15 minutes. But if you don’t mind the walking, would highly recommend :)
